American dishwashers run very hot and use harsh detergents. Some dishes and cookware will state on their packing or even on themselves that they are not dishwasher safe.
Despite this, the sheer convenience of the dishwasher will make people ignore the warnings, and the objects retain their basic functionality just often enough that the meme can be an open-ended YOLO-like joke, phrased like parental encouragement, instead of merely mocking people who try it.
Ahhh, that makes some amount of sense. Jasmine is a breath of fresh air, and one way or another I do think we'll be hearing from her for a long time, but yeah, "hopium" is probably the right notion for this run.
I think a lot of it will come down just how bad polling looks in her district and whether Talarico brings in enough money. Allred is better than any Texas Republican, but he neither excites the base nor reassures the squishier right-leaning suburbanites.
Whoever runs for Senate could possibly win, I guess, especially if its Paxton who emerges bloodied from the primary, but it's more likely that it's a means to show you can overperform and gain a higher profile in the national Democratic party.
Why is this here? Crockett is one of the loudest voices on the left in Texas, and along with James Talarico the closest thing to rising stars we have here.
Crockett has come under fire from Republican members of Congress because of her often terse criticisms of President Donald Trump. Earlier this month, she called the president an "old white nepo baby" and a bully.
I saw Master and Commnder at 10fps on a 2" screen because I managed to get video working on the iRiver H320 I got because even 5(?) years later I was still part of the generation of nerds who thought iPods were just "No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame."
Even then... pretty good movie.
Did they finally punt it off OTA CBS? One summer when I was a kid, I watched every day with my mom, only to give it up when I realized the constant parade of menace and torment that is inherent to an open-ended serialized drama was not something I found satisfying.
To this day I absolutely respect the commitment and hustle to getting stories told though, even to the point of recasting characters, including aging kids up 10 years in a single summer at boarding school, or even using stand-ins with a soft voiceover announcing that "This week, the role of Kensington McRichashell will be played by Jennifer Whodafuqisdat."
Been watching Helluva Boss on Amazon. I watched Hazbin Hotel season 1 a little while ago. I swear the elevator pitch and absolutely over the top sex and violence are there just to hide that Vivienne Medrano is a big softie. I also think there's an interesting critique of modern culture inherent in making life in Hell less like an existential horror and more like the "Gilded Age + the 1950s," but cloaked in the aesthetics of Beetlejuice (and similarly in making Heaven how it is).

HTC had quite a run there. I still miss my HTC One X, back when it was actually interesting to get a new phone. These days I routinely forget which iPhone it is that I have.
Can't contaminate the motor oil, soot, rubber, broken glass, microplastics, litter, and accidentally-spilled coffee with purposely-spilled coffee! I hope the enforcement officers didn't damage their pearls, or let them slip into the drain, from all that clutching.
More seriously, this smacks of citation quotas to me.
Rumor is that Stephen Jones is as football-blind as Jerry and twice as cheap. Cowboys might finally stop playing chicken with every major free agent contract, but that won't help much if they turn into the Raiders, Cardinals, or Bengals.
Keyboard from 2010 built by TG3 for a Siemens chemistry analyzer. I cleaned it up, added some weight to the bottom, and converted to USB. Cherry MX Black and PBT Dye-subbed DCS caps. Take a peek at what should be F9 and F10 (and are after conversion), as well as some of the keys above the numpad, which, tangentially, now has 5 keys that do absolutely nothing related to what's written on them.
Keyboard is one I first made a year or so ago, but recently upgraded a little. DIY with laser-cut Masonite plate, 3D printed sides, Outemu "mid height" Black switches, and JWA PBT low-profile keycaps with DIY legends. KMK firmware on an RP2040 dev board.

Putting the cart before the horse a bit here, as I haven’t been writing much lately, but I got this education market ARM Chrome tablet pretty cheap and followed some instructions to get it fully converted to Linux. ChromeOS is gone. It’s running Debian Trixie via the “velvetOS” project. I could’ve just used the Linux container in chrome OS, but everything has such high guardrails that even the most minor of customizations got very frustrating. Anyway, I specifically picked the 10E because it was known to at least mostly support Linux.
Some limitations, as the camera doesn’t work, I don’t think the external speakers work (could be specific to this particular boot image), and on full boot I have to manually rotate the screen to make sure the touchscreen coordinates stay aligned with the display. Otherwise it works surprisingly well.
Firefox is probably too slow on this old MT8183 with 4 GB of RAM, but it is much faster on the EMMC install compared to the USB, and it was not torture to go online and grab a couple of files directly. The word processor is Focuswriter with their green theme tweaked to amber and it runs perfectly. Suspend/resume is working well enough with auto-login that I can just leave Focuswriter up. Battery life is an open question, but before I wiped it, Chrome OS reported it had 96% battery health 🤷. With a mobile-grade SoC, and with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi turned off, I’m optimistic it won’t be too bad.
I also fixed up one of my DIY mechanical keyboards, and I think it’s a pretty nice little writing setup. Right now, I just have Wi-Fi turned off, but I could theoretically strip out the drivers altogether, or (if I remember correctly), even take the Wi-Fi module out of this one. I opened it briefly to short out the hardware write protection on the firmware, but forgot to look for the Wi-Fi card. As an aside, this was by far the easiest I could imagine a tablet being to service — zero glue connecting screen to case.

My current project is a "Writer Deck," a low-powered computer that boots directly to a text editor or word processor (RPi Zero booting to Wordgrinder, btw). Being the weirdo that I am, I also want to use this as an opportunity to try a split layout again, and see if I can get myself used to something other than the "Advanced Hunt and Peck" that I do now and that tops out at 60 or maaaaybe 70 wpm. The deasign I've come up with is a split monoblock based heavily on a Corne, but with a very modest split angle and the thumb cluster (1) shoved a bit farther under the hands and (2) built around 1.25u keys because they can be adapted to switch-stabilized 2.25u or 2.75u (see the green outlines). The whole thing fits in the Pok3r/GH60 footprint.
So, ergo-mech people, is this a completely silly layout? I have always felt that "literally never moving your hands" isn't necessarily as ergonomic for the average typist as has been promoted, and I do like a good nav cluster, but I also wonder if I've compromised too much to hit that footprint, especially with moving the thumb cluster away from the center. The intended use case will be much more prose (journaling and other creative writing) than code, so I'm less concerned about optimizing for programming. I've never had major RSI issues myself, just needing to switch from a mouse to a trackball for a little bit every year or two.

I got this all-aluminum board very cheap, like under thirty bucks. It had some issues, but I've fixed most of them. Foremost was that Epomaker was hiding keys from me, and THAT WILL NOT STAND, lol. The PCB supports split-space, but the plate doesn't. My laser helped me fix that. It also had a garbage knob that doesn't go above the keys and had no knurling or texture to use it from the side. Fixed that. I also rarely use boards wireless, and then only because something temporary has made it convenient, so out with the battery and in with some steel wheel weights to replace the mass of the battery and then some. It also came with "Yet Another Light Linear" and for someone who types how I do, a light linear is more of a proximity detector than a keyboard switch, so I traded out the 40g-ish springs for 80g ones, making it equivalent to the heavier side of various companies' black switches. Finally, I traded out the gamer-font front-shine caps for some simple white-on-black. All in all, I am liking this board now, where immediately upon purchase I wondered if I should send it back despite the price.
These are for an upcoming keyboard meetup in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. I'm annoyed that some of the tacos didn't infuse properly, but most of them came out okay.
lol, I didn’t want to presume, especially based on my experience with weak-ass European clothes dryers.
