I’ve never seen a Phillips screw get stripped without first camming out a few times.

Addiction, negative feedback loops, obsession and how to avoid becoming a victim of them

Which gender do you see being most typically associated with this?

That’s only true for the high-end Pi 5. Lower-powered models like the zero 2 are still cheap, and they’re a lot easier to find than a few years ago.

They aren’t very useful for much besides hobby projects. Modern hardware is more energy efficient and will be cheaper in the long run compared to anything that would be considered e-waste. The only advantage an old laptop has is the initial cost, so it makes sense for a small home server.

While the cold war is passing out of living memory, the chill that it left on American leftism for the better part of 100 years is hard to overstate.

The Cold War ended in 1991, what are you talking about?

Respectful, I disagree. I’ve learned a lot from people making small comments like that, even when they’re unintentionally blunt.

Helpful by sharing information they believed to be true, that they thought you might not have heard/known. I don’t see any malice in their post or any expectation that you change what you’re doing.

I don’t think that was meant as criticism, it seemed like they were trying to be helpful.

Awesome keeb, BTW!

What did you program your knobs to do? All of the above?

A deadbolt is great, but it’s easier to break a window than pick even a bad lock. If you don’t live in a neighborhood where everyone has bars over their windows, you probably don’t need to keep your deadbolt locked all the time.

A deadbolt is more secure than the lock on the doorknob, but both can be picked or broken. Lots of homes have both locks on the front door, and in a lot of areas just the doorknob lock is secure enough if you’re leaving for a couple hours in the middle of the day.

That’s a good way to keep filament dry, but it takes a very long time to remove moisture from filament that way. It’s a lot faster to use a dryer/dehydrator before putting it in the dry box.

Yes, obviously they’re for communicating with other drivers, what gave you the impression I meant otherwise? I was responding to this in your last post:

Unless you turn your blinker on to let people know your want over how is anyone going to give you enough space to merge in? […] You need to hit the blinker to let others know you want to move then check for space.

There are a lot of times where it makes sense to wait for a gap in traffic, rather than asking people to let you merge. And in those situations you would check for space before turning on your signal. You should still use your signal, even if you know you already have space to merge.

LA has infamously bad drivers. In many parts of the country people will slow down and give you space to move over when you have your signal on. They’ll also known how to do a proper zipper merge.

Yep. If I know there aren’t any other cars within a quarter mile of me then the turn signal is just a formality. At best it tells other drivers the lane change was intentional, at worst it’s a (miniscule) waste of time and energy.

That only makes sense if you’re driving on a busy road. If seems like half of the commenters here only drive during rush hour, and the other half only drive on empty rural roads.

If there isn’t much traffic it makes a lot of sense to wait until you have an opening and then turn on your signal, instead of turning it on before checking for a gap.

Is this what they call FAFO?

Leave it to a .ml user to ignore all context…

The US currently employs “volunteer” troops, but also requires all male citizens to register for a future draft. Many living veterans were drafted. And many others were in vulnerable situations that recruiters recognized and preyed upon. Once you join the US military, it’s a crime to quit.

There is clearly some nuance needed when taking about US war veterans.

I don’t think any cops have been drafted into police service. They also don’t go to jail if they quit their job. And I haven’t heard of police recruiters using predatory tactics and targeting disadvantaged groups. The military does, or has done, all of those things to recruit troops.
