It being summer here, I've stripped the inside walls and insulation. It was built in the 60s and had terrible insulation. I did have to wear a respirator because that era of gyproc used asbestos and mine tested positive. But now I'm furring out the walls on the inside with 2X material to get an R20-24, and I'll probably add a reflective layer for added heat retention/reflection. I also have to re-do the siding, so I might add a 2" closed-cell layer under that for another R8. I'd like to have it competely passive, with a greenhouse on one side to gather winter heat and circulate. Winter here is pretty much 8 months so I have an uphill battle there.

There's terabyte SD cards now, that are almost that fast.

It's an interesting filesystem, but you shouldn't use it at this point unless you know what the hell you're doing. You'll need to be able to notice, report and help resolve bugs, and under no circumstances use it for production or where you can't afford to lose some or all of the data on the partition.

So it's a study that hasn't happened yet, and is also looking at the high levels of radon and alcohol use in the state. But farmers bad, amirite?

All of them are the worst. God, I hate going to weddings.

Un-leveling the playing field. Sounds about right for the biggest kid in the sandbox.

I've had to restrain myself from drinking a couple of liters of milk on hot days because I'm pretty sure it was helping me get fat. There's a pile of sugar in milk, but damn, it seemed to be the best for quenching thirst. I really like milk and miss it.

I think the transition from comedian to politician is more successful. Ukraine has done well by it.

Ah... bait.

If you've been using passkeys, you'll need to generate new ones when you switch. AFAIK, they aren't exportable from Google or Apple. Which, among other reasons, is why I'll just stick to high-entropy passwords. I've had some sites like Amazon try to sneakily make me register passcodes, I've had to go back and tear them out before they screw me somehow.

If you wanted to drive me insane, make me browse the internet using one stupid little screen. Sounds like hell on earth.

Not my article.

 

The pre-charged kits are fairly inexpensive and surprisingly easy to put in, but you'll need about $400 in extra shit.

My extra shit list:

Disconnect box

Surge suppressor

Liquid-tight whip

Lineset chase

20A breaker

Various holesaws

12/3 wire

Caulking

Duct seal

Extra insulation

Wall mount or concrete paving block

It's a little disconcerting that the company that's trying to make an "ethical" GenAI does the best at deception and backstabbing.

Opus was lured in by the hope of a non-violent resolution. It was quickly betrayed and eliminated by o3, which went on to win.

 

This is a very recent thing I've had happening, presumably since an update. I will often have multiple FF windows open. In one of the windows, I'll suddenly not be able to place my cursor in the address bar on any tab. But other FF windows function fine. I have to close that window and start a new instance or drag a tab from a working window to another screen, then that will work fine for an unpredictable time.

I have no idea what specific thing I might be doing that touches this off, as far as I can tell I'm just browsing. I thought maybe I had a child dialog opening in a hidden window, but it must be hidden pretty good because I can't find it if I do.

I listen to a lot of podcasts. I spend a pile of time where I need something to distract me and keep me awake, and I also just like podcasts. But there's a lot of podcasts, especially from sources like IHeartRadio, that have scads of annoying ads (mainly for other podcasts, which seems weird, but OK).

I had gotten to the point where subscriptions like Behind the Bastards just weren't worth listening to because the ads went on for like 5 minutes. I had to come up with something or drop them.

Enter Pinchflat. You can create a "Podcast" media source profile that's audio-only, and respects Sponsorblock. If you have a podcast that has a Youtube channel, you can pretty much eliminate ads this way. And Pinchflat makes an RSS feed that you can subscribe to in your favorite app like Antennapod to consume that feed. One thing I like to add to the Media Profile is to redownload after a day or two so it updates the Sponsorblock info that might not have existed if Pinchflat grabs the episode when it's very fresh.
