So earlier this week there was a guy I saw out my front window doing things in my neighbor's yard. Looked like he was scanning with a metal detector or some kind, then dug a little hole at the corner of his yard. I thought he was doing sprinkler work and went out to get his card since I need...

My wife has declared an avoidance of all things about this movie until we see it on Saturday. I don't care but I'm quasi-avoiding spoilers. I already knew about the "you know who" surprise character and casting. She did not. Today she's watching an unrelated movie commentary video by some...

So.. I watch a twice weekly stream of some dude in Dallas who talk about... stuff... SIROIS - Twitch Funniest thing is that they have now started a tradition. At the end of each show they do a raid. Now, they're a channel that regularly has around 250 folks. But the rules for who they raid...

This is EXACTLY where I'm heading.... Hoping to leverage the existing Hiseeu cameras I already have in play. So far I have them connected in RTSP, but need to figure out how to connect the PTR channel correctly. Adjacent to the other conversation, I have been running Unifi Wifi mesh for...

Well, what RO does is removes all the buffering capacity of the water. Which then means any little thing will throw the PH one way or the other and for most people it gets thrown acidic. You don't want whole house RO. Now, a good whole house softener/basic filter isn't bad if you're in a...

Short answer : Planned Obsolescence Slightly longer answer : If you build a car that lasts 20 years, you sell a person a car every 20 years. If the car only lasts 4 years, you sell them FIVE cars in 20 years. 5x revenue make stonk market happy!

It's like they're rubbing salt in our wounds... "We know few people really like Zendaya as MaryJane Watson (and that we always just call her MJ and wont call her the name), but to drive home the point we're going to cast the actress who would most easily be a PERFECT MaryJane.... as Jean Grey...

My current strategy on the camera front is that I have an existing camera set up (from a company called HiseeU, or something) with wifi enabled cameras that can also be PoE hard wired. I don't like the interface/DVR so I was looking for alternatives. I have discovered, and am working on...

I'm just hoping they'll give maybe at least a sentence explaining how we went from Professor Hulk in Endgame (and apparently in She Hulk which I didn't watch) to "has to wear a SmartWatch to keep the big green monster at bay" in this movie. (which is akin to the Amadeus Cho "Hulk Pip Boy" it...

They had what could only be described as an absolutely fantastic success on their last test flight (#13) last week. So I can see that eventually trickling into the stock. If you haven't you might find the video interesting (it's on youtube). At the end they literally landed the Starship so...

There are some cludgey hacks out there for it on the internet, but in reality it's hard to bypass easily. Which was one reason it was a specific check list item when we went shopping that our new "box of cold" did NOT have any such nonsense included.

Yeah, and that shit is standard installed equipment on ALL GE fridges with water filtration. One reason GE was straight out when we were shopping. Our Frigidaire uses the exact same filters, but without RFID identifiers.

I wouldn't mind one of those... I will add, that out on our patio we have our "patio fridge". It's literally a 97 Kenmore that laughs at the idea of time passing. I am convinced it will outlive both my wife and myself.... I think I have mentioned this monolith to reliability in some other...

Our recent purchase was a low cost Frigidaire and it's been solid so far. I still remember seeing the light in the salesperson's eyes when we were shopping. We walked in and started looking, we had already done a lot of online research, had a pretty solid idea what we wanted. Salesperson...

New final request just dropped...

I still remember typing in Eliza in BASIC back in the early 80's... I also remember building a version of that merged with the "Animal" program logic tree as part of a project for an early employer to help sales people build configurations correctly. This was all done before 1999, which is why...

Yeah, some generic daytime cold medicine cleared me up, so sounding like I'll be doing that with nighttime cold meds tonight before bed.

Woke up so congested I could barely breathe at 4:45 this morning. I'm already fully ready to call it a day....

I'm highly tempted to catch this just to sing along with "Dare to Be Stupid" since of all things from 40 years ago, those lyrics are still seemingly indelibly etched into in my head.

And so the wave of "blame the audience" begins......

Bring Back Bench Seats....

I think this is a good follow up to "Asians who probably have boob jobs".....

In my case I figured the MCP structure should have been easier. One core MCP, and subordinates running off it from the various things which will eventually be on that machine. (OS right now, NAS next on it, then it will become the new home automation server) But you're right, in this case I...

OK. so maybe some folks around here have had some experience with some of these so can give some insight..... AI home lab : Main box : i7, 32GB RAM, Nvidia 4070 with 12G and Nvidia 3060 with 8GB. (32GB RAM upgrade inbound for this one) Linux based Running Open WebUI as the AI front end...

The biggest CVS rustle is the repeated times they have told me they could work my refill dates to slowly align all the medications my wife and I get to land on the same day each month. And it has never worked... not once.... yet they keep trying to talk me into trying it again....

Yeah, it's just that I eat too much of them. For instance. I just walked from my office, back to my workshop to check on a 3d print, walking back through the kitchen... Grabbed 4 big ass strawberries out of the fridge. Odd that shifting our fruit/vegetable purchasing to the newly opened HEB...

There you go with your fancy schmancy attitude and tricked up systems... sheesh.... ;) If I had that kind of willpower do you think I'd be posting daily on an elf pixel boob simulator message board? And to be honest though, a lot of the snacks I eat aren't "crappy", a lot of fruit in the mix...

So this week I start my "short timer dead man walking" week. Various commission and other incentives pay out based on the end of August at my company so whereas I know I'm leaving, I'm not telling the company yet. Debating what level of various assistances I'm about to need to speed learn a...
