I would love to make a dashboard with something other than html. My house dashboard is slow, and I'm hoping that things can be better. Only time will tell.

The photos show enough damage to suspect it won't be going anywhere until it spends months in repair at the very least (ideally in drydock). It isn't clear exactly how much damage was done, but enough to mean it is out of the war for now.

Wire and rust embedded in your skin is not good. In the eye is worse - I know of people who were wearing both a face shield and full safety glasses who got grinding dust in their eyes.

I don't have a good answer to the problem, nobody else likes any of their answers either from what I can tell.

If you look close, Russia has been careful to mostly recruit/kill the type of people Russians don't care about: immigrants, prisoners, or Russians from distant rural areas. They have also been careful to not conscript many people at all, preferring to make it seem like everyone is a volunteer. Russia is running out of ability to get those groups though and the rest of the world are trying to figure out when/who things change going forward.

I combined Mexican and Indian traditions there in ways that I doubt either would be willing to claim as their own. Which makes this an American dish I guess. Whatever, it is good and you should try it.

I'm guessing all those lower days of bad weather (drones didn't fly well) allowed russia to build up troops - then one day of good drone weather and they are all gone.

Curried refrieed. I normally 'cheat' with cans. Adjust for what you have.

a bit of oil/butter, cook a couple garlic cloves. Then throw some whole mustard seed in until they start to pop, some toast some whole cumin, then corriander until it snells good. I didn't use termeric last tine but that goes well too. Then add pinto beans, until warm and snash.

lentils do well too.

note that I didn't give amounts. I have done this so often that I can follow the dump the right anount in plan.

i assume you mean as in your increased earnings will no longer pay the expense. The never too late crowd is thinking of school as a pure 'fun' activity which is a valid way to look at things but if you don't like school isn't for you and that is how I'm choosing to interprut your question.

the question is never answerable unil after the fact: I can calculate after you are dead. However I went to school with someone who went right to college, a mistake because he died in an accident at 21. Other people get mental decline in older years and so it is too late when they are no longer able to learn.

you can retire at any age when you have enough savings, but some people find it boring and will continue to work anyway - if this is you it can be worth it even if ecconomics don't work out if you get a job you like (or perhaps one that by not wearing on the body you can do longer)

many jobs pay for your schooling. if this applies the only quesntion is will you have to remain at the job longer than you want to afterwards.

if paying for your own schooling you can calculate the expected earnings after and compare to the cost to make a decision.

This sub was equipped to launch missiles. It is unlikely Ukraine would say why this one.

Could be the only had the ability get one (that is only one sub sea baby), and it was random chance. Could be they could bypass the protections on this while the others were protected by something (sea nets, sonar...) they didn't think they could get by. Those are two obvious ones I can think of (and thus assume Russia knows more than me if either is possibly true). There may be a completely different reason I can't think of though - again I would expect Ukraine not to say (of if they say it might be an incorrect misdirection)

Subs are hard to find normally so if you see one it is automatitally a high priority to get it even if you reveal some secrets you don't want them to know (like you can monitor their harbor?). also this sub was launching missles at Ukraine, the other ships were not as useful

Service matters. people yell free fares, but once again service proves the real key to rieership

Hard to say as there are many capabilities to compromise with when designing sonething complex. They are claiming range and speed. However what about acturacy - just to randomly name a factor that wasn't mentioned at all in the article and so I don't know.

 

My wife is complaining that we have music all over the living room all the time. With a couple kids in music lessons, school bands (regular, jazz), orchestra, and such a practice session often needs 6 books and 5 loose pages of music so I can't blame her for being frustrated. There is no easy way to store all that and find what you need for the current daily practice sessions.

Putting a tablet (suggestions? schools gives the kids an iPad, and I'm looking at pinetab2, or boox for me) on a stand seems easy enough, but then what?

Mobile sheets seems to be what others around me use, so probably what I'd end up doing too, though I'm not locked to anything. Any other software that I should be looking at? I do like the idea that we can synchronize page turning.

The hard part is getting all my music onto my NAS. Do I just scan all my books? Buy again as PDF (only rarely an option). Entry the music into some other program? I have some sheet music I want to put into lilypond - is there anything that would sync my tablets to a rendered version of this.

I already have Jellyfin and I see book options (but have not used it yet). Calibri-web also comes up often for books. Both seem book reading focused and music flows / organization is different. Anything else I might want to put on my servers that might be better?

Any other thoughts? What have others done that works?
