My old Mercedes C240 (W203) took about 8qts for a single oil change. I'm glad I got rid of that car.

Wait until you find out that even when scanning everyone's bags, the TSA's failure rate is around 85%: https://abcnews.com/US/tsa-fails-tests-latest-undercover-ope... Granted, this article is almost 10 years

I love learning about nav aids on planes. One thing I didn't quite understand was the DME interrogation: "To handle conflicting pulses, each aircraft deliberately jitters its interrogation timing at random, then keeps only replie

ThePrimagen and Tsoding. I don't watch their streams though; I usually just watch their main channel videos or snippets since I don't have time to watch a 2+ hour stream/VOD.

If I had to guess, it's probably an attempt to automate karma farming over time to make an account look legit later on.

Traffic enforcement is abysmal in my city (I'm sure in many other places too), and our ever-increasing car insurance premiums reflect that. If there's a better way to enforce traffic laws or punish drunk drivers rear ending me and

Maybe I'm still bitter about having my car being hit twice, both times being a hit-and-run which I was basically 100% on the hook for, but maybe I'm okay with this (provided it's only on taxpayer funded roads only)? Driving,

n=1, but I graduated with a not so hot GPA so going into the market just before covid wasn't fun. Ended up doing "contracting" (still had a W2) with a really nice agency to get my foot in the proverbial door and eventually st

Love the WS4000. I've been meaning to make a WS4000 like application I can throw on my firestick and just have it play all day on my TV as a side project. As someone without any GUI or graphics programming knowledge, it's definite

I didn't downvote, but I can imagine that most people weren't aware of that claim. I'm skeptical of it as well since I'm not aware of any research that shows fructose in fruit increasing over time.

I miss the PSP jailbreaking scene. Back when I was in high school, I made quite the pocket change cutting PCB traces on people's PSP batteries. Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure that got me interested in electronics in the firs

The rate of incidents in GP's article show a large increase in the 90s. Are you insinuating that covid vaccinees were available to the public at the time?

Not sure what "tech" would constitute here. I've never ran a company before, but I would assume creating a company has a massive barrier to entry compared to working in tech. There are employees, legal, payroll, HR, and oth

NOAA uses XMPP for sending out current weather conditions and alerts via either satellite or an XMPP server on the internet. I think the service is called NWWS.

For modifying text or configs on a remote machine? No. I'm still using vim for those tasks until neovim somehow becomes standard on servers. I've never really used it for any kind of serious programming as trying to twist a modal

I know most people listen to the ambient and groove salad stations, but I absolutely love listening to the seven inch soul station while doing chores.

I love the fact that .NET and friends are open source, but my issue isn't with the licensing, it's with m$ funneling tons of resources on projects that (most likely) will end up being a dead end. I'd also love if maui actuall

Nope, not falling for this again microsoft. Once you actually start dogfooding your own GUI frameworks, then I'll bite.

Interesting... I used to work on testing these old elster meters. Looking at the style number of this meter, it doesn't look like it's equipped with a disconnect relay, so at least he's not messing with that (even if a meter

This should've been the chance for M$ to finally start dogfooding MAUI. I guess even they decided MAUI is DOA.

I used to be a contractor for the people I work for. One day I got a tap on the shoulder and was asked if I wanted to work full time (with actual benefits!). So that's where I'm at now.

Not op, but for me the official elixir site's guide help a lot. I actually read that side by side with Sasa Juric's Elixir in Action and felt like I got a pretty good understanding of elixir. For Phoenix, I've just been using

The solution for defining a more complicated config is to write your own config file format? I would think a custom format wouldn't necessarily be easier for others to read and write unless it came with a guide/readme, but then th

Seems like this list is still a WIP. At least I hope so, I don't see why my i7-3770 shouldn't be supported. If only 8th gen+ are supported, looks like there's going to be a lot of e-waste.
