  Same in northern Michigan in mid summer. And most of New England as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are 'micro-apartments' converted from offices the answer to the housing crisis?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Most houses in my area are wooden and at least 60 years old. And there are plenty of 100+ and 200+ wooden homes too.

  I thought the reason Japan has so many younger homes was all the carpet bombing in WW2. Same with German housing stock.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What Ever Happened to Netscape?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Saved a lot of memory. Even though we had upgraded to 24mb in our Mac Performa at the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can I not be an adorable junkie⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup the real 1984 is all corpo-advertising driven.

  Well, that and wannabe fascists.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help Identify This Connector⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Here’s the important part of your looking to re-pin this type of connector:

  Aptiv Sicma Interconnect Sealed Headers are offered in 6, 24, 56, or 90 cavity count (ways) in 1, 2, or 3 rows with 1.5mm, 2.8mm, or mixed cavity configurations.

  Looking at Delphi 1.5 or 2.8 connectors might get good results too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Drink it, I dare ya⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would thing the plastic lining in that container would probably be high on the bonding list, but I haven’t taken a chemistry class in 24 years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Opened an old scientific instrument to see if it works...⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Coca Cola works really well if you don’t have citric acid on hand. I’ve cleaned car battery terminals with it a bunch of times (over decades). The only bummer is that it’s sticky, but you can drink the leftovers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨3D printed cloverleaf antenna maker⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks like stamped or laser cut pieces that then need bending in the 3rd dimension.

  Then soldering a coaxial connector or wire to each half to finish them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have the weirdest aesthetic preferences⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The error correction isn’t enough to overcome a bad background?

  My memories of the early days of designing these things for ad clients (we’re talking 2010-11) were that like 20% “damage” was allowed before scanning became difficult. So of course my art director wanted to put cutesy shit all over them to be “unique”.

  I just didn’t want the client to ask when it didn’t work because their phones didn’t like them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hate how anything without "world" in its name is just about the US⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I took German in highschool, but all that’s left is: Darf ich aufs Klo gehen?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You'll have to use pto time to drown, but make sure it's approved first⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Did it wash into the building, or just the people in the parking lot trying to save their means of transport that allows any type of work in most parts of this country?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You'll have to use pto time to drown, but make sure it's approved first⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  In hindsight, your job is probably secure now that they are short staffed (which is fucking disgusting).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sample Text⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Could be his dad for now old it is, but now I’m wondering if this is where he got his hair style from.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨All Of Apple’s Foldable iPhone Prototypes Have Visible Creases, Which May Explain The Company’s Apprehension Towards A Launch⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, iPhones have similar modes, swipe down and the screen scrolls down you can also swipe the keyboard to either side for better access too.

  I hardly ever do that though, except by accident.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If Trump loses the election and flees to another country to avoid his sentencing in his (multiple) lawsuits, does the Secret Service have to go with him?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s also not the look of a man with much of anything in his head.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Never forget.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Where $5 foot longs are now on sale for $11.99, and still aren’t a foot long.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Smart TVs take snapshots of what you watch multiple times per second⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Worse than that, they have free speech to corporations, and now that includes doing nearly anything involving communication or spending money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Smart⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You mathnificent bastard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If tomorrow it was announced that aliens were real, highly intelligent, and in communication with our governments, no one would be talking about it by Halloween⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  We almost certainly will be meeting/interacting with alien tech if it ever happens. Living things just aren’t likely to be evolved to travel the vast distances between stars.

  Gonna be AIs talking, if it ever happens.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Listen up⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You haven’t seen Crimepaysbutbotanydoesnt on YouTube then…

  You’d read it with a thick Chicago accent, like Elwood Blues mixed with Dick Butkus otherwise.

  Agreed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rose Finch⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah hippo mixed with pitbull maybe?

  I think the wackos who want to own dangerous dogs try and whitewash them by calling them velvet hippos, but I might have the name wrong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Serves AI Slop as Top Result for One of the Most Famous Paintings in History⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  So, yes you can get to the top of image searches that way, but you also have to add google ads to your page so that google can get a second hit of revenue it drives users to your page, serves the ad, and changes the advertiser.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Instagram makes all teen accounts private - npr⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I always pick 1920 for a b day, even though I’m 45.

  As long as you don’t twerk against the actual printer your should be fiiiiiiine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The air begins to leak out of the overinflated AI bubble⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah CUDA, made a lot of this possible.

  Once crypto mining was too hard nvidia needed a market beyond image modeling and college machine learning experiments.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨title⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The right tool for the wrong job?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The UK section of my local supermarket is taking the piss⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Philadelphia is one of the few cities I haven’t spent any time, and it’s super disappointing to find this out.

  I get them with American or provolone cheese most places up in New England. Monterey Jack works well too.

  I can’t imagine cheese wiz making these better in any way. Maybe I’ll find out someday.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The UK section of my local supermarket is taking the piss⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Where are you getting Philly cheese steaks with canned cheese???

  However chef boyardee and spaghetti-os have been a thing. My mom only got them once for us (in the 80s) and I wasn’t impressed. Liked kraft macaroni and cheese though.
