   I guessed Pacific Coast Highway, but i actually had a worse time biking everywhere in california on Imperial Highway. I live in Central Louisiana now, and while i loved the health benefits of biking, i will never bike in louisiana. There

   My TCL will blink that if the WAP is up but the internet is down, but it takes a while for it to start blinking. I just put the TV on the slowest network i have, and i rarely use the TV anyhow. 90% of media consumption is on a 4K PC monitor

   telecine transfer, i think it's called. you need an 8mm projector with a lens that will let it project on to a "full frame" semi-opaque screen about 12-24" away, and then you use a digital camera to record the other side

   Guaifenesin, another ingredient in most cough syrups, is also used in muscle relaxants. Who knew that "more tussin" would be the answer?

   I asked in the matrix channel, and between the "never heard of it" the common response was "why would anyone at gentoo care?"

   is that for a single head minisplit? In the US i installed one back in 2004 by myself, and i remember it costing around $1400. the system i have now is also a minisplit, but it has 5 heads, and is 5.5 tons. If i run one of 4 heads by itself

   I run a 3 year old install of 3CX on a public IP; last year i got tired of the weird spam calls coming in on my 15 year old phone number i route through the pbx; so i set up a simple IVR. Each phone i have connected to my extension does a q

   my current favorite example of useless noise is UPS - battery backup. If the power goes out, i don't really need the UPS beeping to tell me so. The beeping is so maddening. Power goes out at night, i don't care! don't wake me

   hilariously, most dashcams don't have the optical fidelity to read plates consistently anyhow.

    i played both flute and tuba for a few years and both make your lips hurt and require obnoxious amounts of lung capacity - air. I'd say a tuba requires a bit more overall, because you gotta move your lips by pushing air through them.

    insolation is not insulation. Insolation comes from the sun. You want stuff that rejects insolation for the summer, and you want stuff that allows the sun to heat the mass of the house in the winter.

    I was going to cry foul since 5.18 and 5.19 aren't considered "stable" by most maintainers, but you mentioned that you do kernel dev, so it makes sense. 5.15 is "stable", at least on gentoo.

    Windows 10 fixed this sometime around the end of 2020, where you have igpu and a discrete - prior to whatever patch they pushed, if you alt tabbed out of a fullscreen game, there was a good chance that the game window would be a 1" squ

    Yes, this (spleeter) is specifically what i was thinking of. I have to try it again, the version i have is a couple years old and there is a lot of artifacting. I also happen to have a fairly large library of stems, which i could probably u

    This is far and away the most glaringly not-ok cultural thing we have leftover. I know there's an actual ISO for dates, but even if there weren't, if you use, oh, a file system, a spreadsheet, or even a filing cabinet, having the

    only expensive clothes have reproducible sizes. You can test this yourself. Go pick out 3 different levis jeans that are the same size that ought fit you, in different colors but the same cut. They will all fit slightly differently. Expensi

    I always assumed that it made sense until july and august were added, which is how i explain it to children. This thread has mentioned several times that those were quintillis and sextillis or something prior. I still like my version better

    The part with the compressor in it costs $12000-$15000 minimum just for the device, nevermind installation and the rest, and that's for an equivalent to 3-6 ton systems commonly installed. My mini-split system worked fine down to about

    I haven't tried this idea, yet, however: it should be possible to use mixdown -> stem AI/ML models to completely remove the "recognizable" part of the song to an algorithm, leaving only the "vocals" portion.

    I don't know the context; with that said, are you sure you heard "hateful" and not "hurtful"? Hate is contextually charged. I know it's lost a lot of its meaning, but as someone who had a parent for whom englis

    there... are, though, for example, cydia. I've never installed the AOSP or the oneplus specific "android" versions so i have no frame of reference, but it takes about 25 seconds to get cydia to come up on the ipad i use it on
