   Agreed, I do sometimes pop with olive oil and it turns out without burning.

   I'm a "heat kernels to just below popping and then pop" fan, since trying this method a decade ago. The goal is to get all the kernels to pop in a relatively short window, so nothing sits there to burn. Method: - Prepare

   Counterpoint: I have indoor-only shoes, and I feel a lot like Mr. Rogers when I put them on. I put them on while working from home because it dramatically increases the likelihood that I will take a break and walk on the treadmill during w

   For around 5 years I used a Chromebook as my primary home computer, and it worked really great. It was a HP 13 g1, with the very high res display, insane battery life, 8GB RAM. I bought it for $550-ish, and a couple years ago got my son o

   There was a recent thread titled something like "How do I serve 5TB of data" (I can't seem to find it now). MANY of the responses said that bandwidth in Cloudflare is 0 cents "until you reach 100TB, then they want to

   Didn't read the study, but would it be good if they had 120 clones of you and gave 60 taurine and 60 a placebo, and the taurine ones showed better longevity?

   I rarely use USB media, instead just copying things around using the network. But last week I needed to copy 200GB to my son's laptop, and ended up putting a 256GB SD card in the laptop and copying to it over night (it was started at

   I imagine a future iPhone will be able to record Vision enabled content. I imagine you might be able to just set the Vision Pro on the table while it's recording and you do your thing.

    I did not do well at school. I think I have some mild dyslexia that puts a cap on my reading speeds, and being in a lecture class of size 30 didn't work well for me. I recall getting bogged down by the slower people in class, so I&#x

    A physician shortage is not a good thing, but I'm closer to the nurses shortage; my wife is a nurse. Nurses get it from all sides: The healthcare administrators never put enough on duty, similarly they don't have enough CNAs help

    While we're at it, can we get a "TITE_INHIBIT" or "NO_SECOND_SCREEN"? I must be the only one, but I hate having stuff up on my screen, like from a man page or editing a file, then going back to the command-line and

    My grandfather was a woodworker and worked in construction. When I was ~18 I proudly showed him this fancy Japanese pull saw I had gotten for a woodworking project I was working on. His only comment was "We confiscated so many of tho

    Sure, I'm happy to go into it. Prior to 2 years ago I had been running cat5e shielded cable around the house (security cameras wanted shielded). cat5e for shorter runs apparently can do 10gig. But once I heard I'd be able to get

    One component of it can be the exchange and transit deals that the ISPs make. "Peering" is generally made under the terms of "sending as much as you receive", so in that way it can be beneficial to limit your outbound,

    I believe I've heard that you can ask Tesla if it has the free supercharging for life. The impression I get is that if they get resold through Tesla, Tesla is removing it, especially problematic now that they are offering "money&

    L5, L6, NEMA 14-50, NEMA 5-15, NEMA 5-20, NEMA 14-30, NEMA 11-30, just to name the ones I deal with at home and at the office... And that's not dealing with anything terribly esoteric, like 3 phase, generators, or industrial equipment

    If you get a used ~2016 Tesla, the Superchargers are free. You do have to be a little careful if you want to go that route though, Tesla has pulled free supercharging from some vehicles, and some had the free supercharging limited to just o

    The author uses smol-developer for this. I've had mixed luck using smol-developer for actual development, but reading the code and prompts it's using, and just the general workflow is pretty fascinating and I've been playing

    I keep reading that you can upload data to one of the GPT interfaces, I'm not sure if it's a ChatGPT plugin, or one of the OpenAI API, but I wonder if you can include some source code that you can then prompt based on... I've

    As others have said, it is the outbound that was really killing it. Sure, we could watch multiple Netflix, but streaming our camera video and audio and it'd get flaky. ISTR I had 250Mbps inbound at the beginning and outbound was ~25M

    I'm in Fort Collins and have had city fiber for a couple years now and it's a game changer. We got it during earlyish covid and having 4 of us on video calls was bringing Comcast gig service to it's knees, I imagine because

    It's not unfair to say Fort Collins isn't a tech hub, but it's also not too bad. Trivia: One of the first non-CA Hewlett-Packard plants is down the road in Loveland. They also have a big campus in Fort Collins, which is whe

    My daughter had grand plans of "renting a big house with a bunch of her friends" for her first year out of high school in Fort Collins. A couple of weeks ago she told me how all of her friends now plan on staying at home. Appare
