I use a fintech for my little glorified garage sale ecommerce site (literally hundreds of dollars of sales so far!). I have no idea how you burn through all that runway to do a slightly better banking app for some random regional bank, plus some agreements with the Credit Card companies and a crypto wallet.
A few years ago, I used my meager seniority award at work ($100 for ten years! Yay…?) to get a Monoprice Select Mini 3D printer. That set off a journey that has been a lot of fun. I’m using a Sovol SV08 now, but the Mini was a great gateway printer at that time.
All I want is that top comments under posts are something insightful and related to the post, and not just the same one liner boring jokes that keep getting upvoted for some reason.
I’ll defend these, at least a little bit. Yeah, it’s obnoxious to get bland and repetitive slop to wade through, but there can be a fine line between that and some community-building in-jokes and shitposting, and I admit I am an absolute sucker for pun threads and especially “No that’s ABC, You’re thinking of XYZ” exchanges. Banter with familiar rhythms isn’t necessarily toxic.
If you have to eat that, you lose anyway.
I’m not sure that ignoring them to listen on an iPod is any better.
The LLM’s very confident assertion that it’s a plug-cutter drill bit is obviously wrong, but scrolling down the image search a bit reveals the truth (allegory for how “AI” is useful but no panacea?). It’s a Panel Pilot bit. If something like laminate or OSB is overlaid on top of an opening like for a window or sink, you plunge it through the cutout area and use the unsharpened part like a crude follower bearing. I would be very careful using it on any material more than 1/4-1/2" (~ 6-13mm) .
It also looks like yours is way shittier than the one in the link, LOL, but that could be a trick of the camera angle.
I managed to get Debian with XFCE running permanently on a 6 year old Lenovo ChromeTab. It mostly works, but “touchscreen as a mouse” is clunky and the onscreen keyboard I use, “Onboard,” is utilitarian at best. As a low-distraction writing device paired with a mechanical keyboard and FocusWriter, it’s pretty cool. If anything, it’s a bit too decent a setup for that purpose, as the browser is usable and I left Wifi working.
Now to actually start using it… 🤣
It’s close, though. IIRC, you can’t say the same thing about Miami.
Assuming all is above board, the main concern I have is if it’s worth that much to them, wouldn’t it be worth that much to me?
Yes, and then some. It sounds like you’d do better randomly selecting a realtor to throw it up on MLS “as-is,” and even better if you followed the usual, admittedly annoying, process. These companies are not literal “risking jail” scams, but they’re not your friends either, and they will not be offering you anywhere close to market value. My sister and I looked into a couple of them when our dad passed, and the offers were far below what we pulled with a Realtor, even priced to move and with a kind of costly “turnkey” arrangement where they arranged cleanup and inspections.
It hasn’t been plugged in for the better part of a decade, back when we had a house with a floor lamp plug right by it, but it theoretically has a mini fridge, charging, and a Bluetooth speaker. In use, it has one very big drawer to go with two normal drawers.
Very similar, but it’s from some brand called Sobro, it’s a little smaller, and only 2/3 of it is a mini fridge.
It hasn’t been plugged in for over six years.
Heelers love us very much, but they also believe they know best and our suggestions like “Don’t bite my face” or “Don’t get chest deep in mud” are the barely coherent babblings of beloved children with low intelligence.
The heeler will decide what is best. Mud is best.
He doesn’t generally lie with his tummy to the sky out there. He prefers to let the black fur soak it up like a solar panel. He has a “saddle” pattern like a german shepherd.
Houston the baked pit-tato says, DID WE JUST BECOME BEST FRIENDS!?
I have a halfway decent woodworking setup, plus a 3D printer and a cheap laser, but metalworking is just not really an option. The space dedication, plus the oils and the fire hazards and the scraps/shavings/slivers/chaff/god-knows-what-else all being completely incompatible with sharing a space with the rest of it. Sigh, just not likely to happen until and unless I can get in with the makerspace mafia. I am thinking of trying to figure out designing for mills and using metal-bending workbenches in CAD, though, and sending more designs off to be fabbed.
Good for the recall folks, though I’m sure there’s a share of pure NIMBYs in there and some folks definitely having the day they voted for. That’s funny that the supporters think the 1000 construction jobs will be for locals and not the specialized oilfield-like firms that are already staffed up to work these projects, or that Google will have 200 permanent staffers tied to the location and contributing to the town’s tax base.
“Gravity plating!” As long as there is floor, you’re good.
I was around almost at the beginning of Eternal September. In December of 1994, I posted to a newsgroup that google eventually archived on the web. Beyond that, my eBay account predates y2k. The first purchase I recall was a parallel port ethernet adapter so I could use Arachne for DOS on my 386SLC33 laptop in the university library. I mailed out a money order and hoped this “buying shit on the internet” thing wasn’t going to be a scam.
Imagine if that one fire were the series finale. All-time great show if you end it there.
LOL, fair enough.
