Other than your desk looking like a spaceship cockpit, is there a real benefit to having an ultrawide vs two standard monitors? A lot of the time I have screen space dedicated to separate tasks, like having a game in one monitor and work/email on the other. Am I wrong that this wouldn't work...

Yeah, the appeal he built isn't an instructional or even a personality channel, but as a sort of zen atmosphere of watching a skilled guy do what he wants efficiently. I like his previous stuff but this doesn't attract me.

That's heinous, IMO

86 over the limit is only a misdemeanor? Lol.

I'm making all the rookie mistakes so you guys don't have to: I spent the day migrating my router, server, etc from my bedroom into a more central closet in the hall. I installed a vertical conduit in the closet so I can run ethernet to and from the attic and crawlspace. I picked where I wanted...

I wonder what the timeline is for tech like this actually making it into consumer hands.

Typically ducting is run high to keep it out of the way of the rest of your stuff, unless you can run it under the floor.

When one neck, or even two, aren't enough.

I just checked and firefox was using 16 gigs for 93 tabs (yes, I have a problem). I closed the application and it left 65 hung processes in the task manager. After clearing that crap out and restoring my session it was using a gig and a half. Firefox's memory utilization is fucking terrible. As...

Shit, that's only about an hour from me. I legitimately might bid on some of that.

What do you have turned on? I have "Ad Blocking" checked under "Gateway Engine" on my UDM-Pro and I'm still seeing ads with uBlock disabled.

I just started getting hit. We'll see who blinks first.

Half my assets, regardless of number, are not worth what he's putting up with. If Smith thinks it is, he's wrong.

That is vs dollars. He's reading the chart backwards. (For the confused, high yen per dollar is bad if you have yen. It's great for us if we're buying Japanese goods with dollars.)

Bordering on 20 years ago, but yes, Craigslist. Told the buyer to bring cash and met in the parking lot of the nearest police station. Worked out fine.

Fuck you for reminding me it's raining and I have to paint the bathroom. Two for one for me today, I guess.

I yell at my kids to stop running and fighting in the house.

Edit: Whoops, reposted video from 2 pages ago. Here's some porn for atonement.

A router sled table for flattening that also has a movable face mounting surface so you can do jointing, chamfers, and tapers of basically arbitrary size. Pretty cool.

vs staggered keys

My wife uses one. This specific model has shit keyboard mechanics and I would not recommend it, but the concept in general is interesting (though not enough to buy one yet). I got used to the split very fast and I think it did make my wrists more comfortable. Edit: I guess I should have paid...

You run the drone scanning/surveying business too, right? You should use the drones to make 3d scans of popular sections of famous climbing routes and then figure out how to re-create them for climbing gyms. I bet that'd make a mint. "Try your hand at the scary part of El Capitan from Free Solo!"

Is this rolled out for everyone? I have a hosts file that blacklists everything from YT's ad servers and I see no change at all. https://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm

I used to ride my bike to school in Boston. Drivers were utterly oblivious and horrible and you had to assume everyone was out to murder you. Riding is unsafe because drivers are assholes. But fuck guys like this who ride two (or five) abreast and then also pretend they aren't vehicles and...

Learned a few things I hadn't thought of, particularly that despite modern glues being stronger than the wood itself glue joints will make a board weaker than if it were solid exactly because the stiffness of the joint creates stress risers that cause the adjacent wood to fail. Also, clamping...

In my experience the digitization of everything means that I can find every incremental release of whatever I want since the beginning of time, as long as I'm .... resourceful about where I source it. I can't be arsed to keep physical media, but I have a 30+ TB digital hoarding problem. Roll my...

I had similar issues briefly. Turned out to be dehydration, lack of sleep, and eye strain from too much screen time.

These images are fucking great. Thanks. This future is coming, along with infinite custom books, movies, and shows. It might be the very last thing humanity invents.

I don't care about my data, that horse left the barn 10 years ago. I just don't want to be hung out to dry with useless hardware if the vendor goes out of business or Google cancels the product line.

9.2% of mortgages last week were ARM, apparently. Seems like a recipe for being extremely disappointed. I don't expect to see 2-3% again ever based on the fact that the US basically has no choice but to inflate its way out of our debt. The 5.5% 30-year I pulled the trigger on in March is...

On a different note, does anyone have an app-driven/wifi thermostat they like? I just want basic wifi control and programming, bonus points for NOT being connected to any cloud services. Willing to self-host software if necessary.

Equity loans and renovation loans exist but the rates are shit right now. Personally, I'd rather DIY something or live without rather than go in debt for it. When we bought the house earlier this year we bargained and budgeted accordingly knowing that we were going to have to redo the bathroom...

Yeah, I certainly didn't accept those quotes. A contractor friend refused to let me get ripped off and did the full bathroom remodel himself, stripping the room down to studs, squaring the floor and walls, blowing out the exterior wall and reframing the window, insulation, stucco, plumbing...

I'd never paid much attention to Kushner on the assumption that he was a bog-standard upper crust product of nepotism, but was pleasantly surprised by how much sense he made.

I have an 8bitdo Pro 2 and it's nothing but fucking headaches getting games to recognize it at all when wired, and it seems to have a half second lag over bluetooth. When playing Elden Ring it would only get picked up by the game maybe 1/10 times I started the application and then would be fine...

Any kind of work is fucking bonkers expensive. I had people wanting $12k for a plumbing rough-in on a bathroom and $150k for a 50x5 retaining wall.

Super interesting. I've done various kinds of simulation modeling that touch on future population structures and the specter of the demographic transition has been looming on the horizon for decades without people really talking about it. Now it's here and I hope everyone is paying attention...

New hottest pepper in the world. 2.6 million Scoville.

Up next, background checks for pipes and welders.

I went to Idaho to see the total eclipse in 2017. Well worth it. The totality was so far beyond the experience your brain is calibrated for it just cuts out for a while. I'm going to Indianapolis for a mini family reunion to see the one next year. As some astronomer said, the difference between...
