My guess is that this might be a way to get spare parts for a helicopter in case they break. A family friend who worked on antique cars would often run into the problem where a specific piece broke and he needed to find it replaced. Finding

_ Should they have the freedom to decide they don't like my forum and kick me off?_ I would say the opposite: No. While it might be _legal_ for them to kick me off, I don't think a private company should decide what I say on their

It's not fair to complain about how hard a tool is to use without comparing it to the alternatives. If git is a failure as claimed then the alternatives should be better, no? We have a list of known version control software [0], how ma

I usually just respond with "Hmmm, let me dig into that". That gives me time to do my research and get back to them. It also shows them that I'm actually looking into it, rather than that I forgot about the message. When I ha

I'm worried this will backfire. Having a large company specifically target a conspiracy theory might lend credibility to that conspiracy theory since the followers have real evidence that "the big bad x" is out to get them. I

Looking at the test results I realized that these masks[0] which are available on Amazon scored quite high on their tests. Looks like they only tested 10 of them[1], the lowest of which scored a 94% which isn't quite at the N95 thresho

It's been tough nailing down the optimal time, but right now what works best is taking 300ug of melatonin at 10:20pm and falling asleep at 11:50. In the past I tried various different times ranging from 6:30pm to 9:00pm. Even taking it

As someone in the US who has DSPD [0] and uses melatonin daily, I personally wish it was a prescription medication. There are a few reasons for this: 1) The proper dose of melatonin for me is somewhere between 150ug and 400ug, but most mela

Why is that? about:config is something I use all the time.

about:config was not working on my Android phone, 80.1.3. Ran the latest update to 81.1.1, still not working. Guess it might be in the next release?

What makes TarSnap so good? I would assume that borg + Backblaze would be equivalently secure but much cheaper.

It'll take a while. I'm on Debian 11 (testing) and I'm also getting python 2.7.18 for just `python`.

redshift is pretty close to dead, commits have really slowed down [0]. It still doesn't have support for wayland. gammastep[1] is a fork under active development and has support for wayland. I'm using it in sway right now. [0]: h

To me this seems like the perception of time is more based on uniqueness of experiences. When you're young everything was new and therefore was interesting and mattered more. When you're older you slip into a routine and days begi

I initially thought the use of circular irrigation devices would be when land is cheap, but after some research I think the main reason to use them is when water is far more expensive than land. I zoomed in to various areas in the Midwest U

While true in theory, this doesn't hold up in practice. The farmers here are constrained in space by roads on all sides and by the price of each irrigation machine. Many small circular irrigation machines will be more expensive and har

Wouldn't having more substations make the grid more resilient? I would imagine that allows for more flexibility routing power.
