We have a Bluetooth adapter for our car audio and it’s great. Plugs into the aux jack and car power. Really handy not needing to plug in.

Yeah, I did ak3 month first, then 6 month, then 12 month. If you do a family plan, I think you can also get the cheaper price with a shorter lock-in.

I get cheaper on Mint because I get the 6 or 12 month price, but it means you have to have the money up front to pay for it.

It’s all with respect to humans. Humans aren’t making the bird nests, so they’re natural, not man-made. Our houses don’t over naturally, we build them.

From the bird’s perspective, sure, nests might be bird-made and humans are part of nature. But at humans, we’ve also done a ton to shape the world and separate ourselves from nature. If your house were a fire-heated lean-to in the woods, there might be less a distinction between it and “out in nature,” but if you’re living in a city or town, your immediate surroundings probably have been heavily constructed and modified by humans.

When we were looking to buy a house, I basically crossed off the list anywhere that I couldn’t walk to at least some essentials, like basic groceries, pharmacy, a couple restaurants. Our new neighborhood isn’t nearly as walkable as where we used to rent, but everyone else heae seemed to have the same thoughts, and it’s too expensive to buy a house there.

I’ve seen people have success with that on iOS, but it doesn’t work for me on Android. If I disable and left swipes, nothing happens when I swipe, rather than going back.

… Paint?

You got me excited, but it’s not working for me. Are you on Android or iOS?

Well, they didn’t put carpet on the bathroom floor. But they’ve arguably found something far worse.

See, It’s all safe now!

(/s, but I did royally screw up my own feature branch with a janked rebase off the main branch before though.)

Probably not surprising tht Oppenheimer is furthest ahead in New Mexico. But why is Mississippi so into Barbie?

I also discovered this. I was panicking a little bit when I started smelling what seemed like sewage in my basement. In a 100 year old house, I was wondering what broke. After a few hours, I figured out that there were potatoes rotting in the pantry, which was more open to the basement than it was to the main floor of the house - so all the smell sank down there. It was honestly a relief.

The further you go, the more specialized it gets. There are people I know doing their PhDs in CS, but it was pretty much just straight math. I’m now an expert in a very specific area of robotics. But it’s only worth it if you have a specific reason to go to grad school, like for a particular career path. If it’s just because you like learning, it’s not worth it. There’s a big opportunity cost.

My older sibling did something similar - getting Ubuntu installed on my very first laptop (a 9" netbook) back in 2008 and replacing windows XP. But be warned: it is a slippery slope. At the time , I just wanted a computer that I could take class notes on (high school), and never wanted to touch programming or the terminal. Now I have a PhD in computer science. I still don’t use Arch though.

And for me, as one of the few women in my CS program: plenty of opportunities, and plenty of douchebags.

These ads are getting so much more prevalent, and so much more subtly marked. Google (and places like reddit and Facebook) designs them to feel as much like organic content as possible. I have a pihole on my home network, in part to prevent exactly the type of mistake you described.

It’s two-fold: lots of parking, and lack of good alternatives. If we just reduce parking requirements, but don’t provide safe, reliable alternatives (eg quality public transit and bike lanes), you get angry drivers and sad (or dead) cyclists.

Oh boy, I keep a page just for this!.

I need to update it (for example, Arachne perimeters in PrusaSlicer now let you print extra thin perimeters), but it’s useful to have a reference for common tolerances/dimensions like screw holes.

But a couple of my little additional pet peeves:

• Don’t put fillets on the underside of prints (against the bed). The nearly-flat angle always droops and looks bad. Use a chamfer instead, or make a fillet that actually starts at 30° from horizontal.
• The weakest direction is between layers. Design your part such that you can print it in an orientation where the thin/weak parts aren’t printed where the layer lines can snap (eg, print it flat vs vertical)
• Just like the straight lines inside screw head holes, thinking ahead in your design can prevent/minimize the need for support material. The earlier you start thinking about this in you design, the easier it will be. For example, can a part be designed with a 30° slope on an underside instead of being flat? Can you think about your print orientation early in the design process to avoid overhangs?
• Chamfer of fillet inside corners, if it’s a structural part. This will greatly reduce stress concentrations.

Personally, I don’t use 3 perimeters on most of my prints. On my prusa, they look totally fine with 2 perimeters. I only switch to 3 if I need the strength (which also almost always means I’m printing in PETG, rather than PLA, FWIW).

It is possible to get transition care while on Medicaid in some states, at least. Because it’s healthcare! So that would qualify at “taxpayer funded.” I know some states explicitly ban it, and not sure what Medicare covers. There are also government employees who can get transition care through their insurance, so could be considered taxpayer funded?

In any case, I’d much rather have all trans people be able to get taxpayer funded transition related care.

Ha, realizing the oddity of my phrasing in hindsight. My guess was OP had some smidge of a memory hearing that insulating over wire was bad, so thought it would be worth a little context.
