Do you know of Jeroba allowa it? I have not found it in the settings of so.

Virtual insanity.
- Comment on What inspired you to get into clean energy? 1 month ago:
That is one thing I don’t get about the pushback on EVs. You can absolutely make your own electricity, you can’t make your own gasoline or diesel. Yes, biodiesel is a thing and you can brew your own alcohol but that requires energy, time, and more or less single purpose equipment. Solar and an EV are more or less a single step and completely passive. You can even make the solar partially mobile if you wanted.

The smell never goes away
- Comment on OceanGate’s ill-fated Titan sub relied on a hand-typed Excel spreadsheet 1 month ago:
If it was setup properly, you just us an if statement like, “if communication lost to control for t>5 seconds, release balast” or something like that. I had 0 issue with the controller being an ots consumer good. The rest was an idiotic design, I won’t even say it was engineered.
- Comment on Twenty percent of hard drives used for long-term music storage in the 90s have failed 2 months ago:
Drive failure in the 00s was really common. I lost 2 or 3 separate drives from different mfg over the course of a couple years. Newer drives are better but even in modern nas setups, I planned on losing at least 1 drive per year on a 4 drive nas even fresh out of the box.
Always keep data your care about in at least 3 places and in at least 2 different mediums with one preferably offsite. I like to have one drive in use, one backup that sync’s daily, and one that I keep in cold storage unplugged. Then swap the sync drve and cold storage drive every so often.
- Comment on Starbucks' new CEO will supercommute 1,000 miles from California to Seattle office instead of relocating 2 months ago:
Take their coffee grounds for compost?
- Comment on Planning to propose in a few months, what should I look for in a good value engagement ring? 4 months ago:
I went the same route, it was significantly less expensive to get a nicer custom ring made by a local jewler I knew, to my spec/design then to get a commodity one from a store.
- Comment on I should be banned from using microwaves 4 months ago:
55 seconds is life
- Comment on Dear Roku, you ruined my TV 4 months ago:
Another example of why automatic updates are terrible. If it is my device, I should have the ability to opt out of it changing on its own.

- Comment on Google Podcasts is shutting down soon, users urged to move to YouTube Music 7 months ago:
Yep, started like 2 weeks ago and its been good so far. The transition from google podcasts was only about 3 buttons to export then import it. Very simple.
- Comment on How many of you actually use the headphone jack on your phone? 11 months ago:
It is not my primary method of audio use, I use bluetooth earbuds/headphones in a workshop environment for that so I don’t get the cables caught on machinery or materials but I use it when traveling or listening to music at home because the sound quality is better and there is only one device to keep track of or charged. Its not an everyday thing but still a requirement for me.
- Comment on Google announces April 2024 shutdown date for Google Podcasts 11 months ago:
Nah, it will just become YOUTUBE SEARCH, YOUTUBEMAIL, YOUTUBECHAT, and YOUTUBEMAPS
- Comment on Teslas are bursting into flames in Florida after being flooded during Hurricane Idalia | Saltwater and lithium-ion batteries are a bad combination 1 year ago:
They are likely IP rated in some form or fashion, that means they are rated for protection for a period of time at a certain depth. Deeper water or longer time in water means you still get water past the seals.
It could also be a control fault or short on the electrical side allowing the other components to catch fire or overloading the batteries causing them to overheat and catch fire.
- Comment on Would you work for a corporation that you oppose ideologically, if the pay is good? 1 year ago:
Currently working in oil and gas again after trying really hard to get away from that after working in a related industry for the last 10 years. I have mixed feelings about it, but my commute went from 75 miles/day to 3, I get to spend 3+ more hours a day with my family, and I am paid more. The benifits for me, monetarily, my personal environmental impact, and on my mental/family health are worth the compromise of how my work impacts the world. At the end of the day, my chair would be filled with someone else if it wasn’t me. I am happy that because it is me, I am limiting my envionmental impact even if I don’t agree with the industry.
