I swore against having kids-for lots of reasons-, same as my wife. But accidents happened and we became parents. As the cliche goes "it is life changing".

It alters who you are and your idea of importance. There was stress, and exhausting times, but now they are adults they are my favourite people :)

It is a threshold moment situation, if you like your life how it is never have kids. If you have kids your life becomes different. No path is better than the other; just altered.

A supermarket trip may soon look different, thanks to electronic shelf labels ( www.npr.org )

Grocery store prices are changing faster than ever before — literally. This month, Walmart became the latest retailer to announce it’s replacing the price stickers in its aisles with electronic shelf labels. The new labels allow employees to change prices as often as every ten seconds....

BCsven ,

Loblaws has had this for a while, we no longer shop thete, but it was frustrating because an item would fluctuate in price depending in what day you went. No way to budget for random pricing

BCsven ,

I would think the price changes happen overnight. With their system each RFID type price label can be flipped when the push the pricing to the register system.

I'm sure the old way was a deterrwnt in changeing prices because they had to call staff in to swap labels. Now it is computerized, so on a whim they can adjust.

We had an oat drink we liked one day 4.99 go back to grab another the next day 7.99. Few days later 3.50...we said screw this company and just got it at Walmart where price was consitent every time.

This is a very good article about server setup mainly for power consumption, but shows quirks like power level draw based on what pcie slots are used, etc. This guy servers.

With what kind of fork tho

BCsven ,

I have never seen this. italians spin their fork in the spoon to wrap the noodles, seems to work fine. That spaghetti fork would have terrible mouth feel.

BCsven ,

Could be, an old Italian guy showed me the spoon as the base and fork as the spinning tool. But yeah maybe it is regional...or like giving white people a fork at an asian place

TIL that it may be faster for humans to run on all fours. ( www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov )

The fastest human on the planet might be a quadrupedal runner at the 2048 Olympics, which may be achieved by shifting up to the rotary gallop and taking longer strides with wide sagittal trunk motion. More generally, investigation of quadrupedal running will not only result in the development of new techniques that allow...

BCsven ,

It would be fun. i assumed the vids online would show more of a greyhound running technique, so was disappointed by the guys odd run

BCsven ,

That tiny JellyFish that cause paralysis and death would seem more deadly

BCsven ,

That exist already in outlook or proton calendar, probably others too. you set the repeat interval and the end date, which can be set to never.

BCsven ,

It is too bad because SONOS has the potential to be the absolute best product and experience on the market and then they ruin it with bullshit. at least they reversed the decisision on bricking custoners devices to prevent resale for the upgrade program...but the fact these decisions get made in the first places shows how shitty corps are

BCsven ,

Zypper on suse has a series of nice patch commands, to check what patches are out with cve numberd and if they are needed or applied to the system already.

BCsven ,

MicroOS and Debian

All the house I wired had neutral bonded to ground wire at the panel.

BCsven ,

Sell them

Even cleaning up junk from your OS Filesystem looks like you are working, and you discover things you forgot you had

German state that moved 30000 seats of Windows over to Linux: Hans, zome schadenfraude dis morning, neh?

BCsven ,

It was so ingrained in our culture in the early 2000s, that when a delivery driver said "Hey What's the story?" as a "whats up" greeting, that I said Wishbone in reply. I did not expect him to get the reference, but he broke out and sang the Wishbone theme song.

Google says : colors do not absorb different amounts of heat, only heat from light.

Google says : colors do not absorb different amounts of heat, only heat from light.

BCsven ,

Not according to science articles on the web. infrared penetrates regardless of colour, visible light spectrum capturea or reflects the rest.

BCsven ,

I mean some people put pineapple on it

BCsven ,

Light is energy, if a medium absorbs the light it converts to heat. if it reflects it the potential heat goes away with it

BCsven ,

Soap works by attaching one side of molecule to the grease and one side to the water to pull dirt out of something, surface tension is not the only thing helping

BCsven ,

$7.99 a session and she will tell you the winning lottery numbers too

BCsven ,

Everything everywhere all at once. The hype made this a let down, it wasn't even that good and I love weird thought provoking sci fi. This was just a goofy movie that is forgetable

BCsven ,

We were on Windows 10 for several years before microsoft issued the statement that Windows 10 is now stable and ready for server deployment. Some of their QA is now user end

BCsven ,

From what i have seen from foot cam video it is mosrly clutch work. Stay on gas and feathering clutch in and out to control the grip

BCsven ,

If your tires don't have traction you are losing potential acceleration. Hairpins on loose surface are a slightly different situation, the Rally driver uses the lack of traction to aim the car ready for acceleration out of corner, keeping the engine revs up in the power/torque zone so there is no bogging down like there would be with full braking, then starting

BCsven ,

Russia is just using Vodka.

BCsven ,

Nah, it should be like the audio jack, you plug in the headphomes with no proprietary bullshit...Apple is locking poor people out of this easy method by being dicks about lightning connec tors. Im glad EU forces them to USB-c but Apple will probably lock devices out on this also

BCsven ,

Yet... have you tried a non apple USB headset to see if it works? Just becauae you have USB doesn't neccessaeily mean kernel allows all devices. But even if it works to placate EU now have you noticed that all giant companies start out with something that is OK, then later alter the deal, once you are trapped.

BCsven ,

Also I mention apple locks poor people out of headphones and you reply IPhone 15 is out. You realize many people can not afford a brand new iphone just because it came out?

BCsven ,

Not so much in places like Brazil, Africa, India etc. you can get a cheap Android phone for $25 but iPhone is still a premium luxury. The new phone every two years is a privalege thing.

BCsven ,

Looks like high usage in UK and USA and Canada (as colonies) since it refered to the red tape used To bind legal documents closed. As a UK to Canada resident. i can say I just knew what the term meant from hearing it so often in conversations or on the news, but never though to look up where the term came from. TIL

BCsven ,

Looks like a UK article

BCsven ,

We have some in BC, Canada that are lane markers. white/yellow on one side, red on the other. this way when you are in your proper lanes you see white/yellow, but if you are in the opposing lane the backs of them show red, so you know you shouldn't be driving into that lane

There is an Open Science platform already being taken advantage of for researchers to pull data from other researchers to stop replication and accelerate science. Check your competition, because if there is already an initiative you will have to cut costs to compete.

BCsven ,

How? it is just numbers, there is no human relation. i grew up learning both measures. i know that 20C is comfortable the same at 68F is comfortable. If anything C makes more sense, at 0 things are going to want to freeze on my body. For F that is 32...an arbitrary value

BCsven ,

The ice brine was actual a unique solution the guy establish to freeze at zero, not saltwater like I was originally taught, so it was completely arbitrary 0.
And the body temp for normal people is 97.5 to 98. It feela like the dude wanted a 0-100 scale and tweaked the whole thing to suit his desire.

BCsven ,

Stract is no non-sense

BCsven ,

They ahould have uaed the original Mini and the BMW Mini as a comparison

BCsven ,

PVA sauce or Potato starch sauce?

BCsven ,

They placed quarterly profits over true innovation, then began the slide into irrelevancy

BCsven ,

If you are in Wales maybe

BCsven ,

Yeah, I remember using ramdrive.sys in the DOS days to make a drive letter in memory to speed up our CAD software. My point was windows has similar tools for memory compression and drives, just that it is not as easily tinkeres with like Linux.

BCsven , (edited )

These things exist in windows (or as 3 party tool like RAWcopy etc for writeback) its just their OS is not setup to make tinkering a simple matter like in Linux. You don't have to convince me as I'm already a Linux household since Windows10 came out. But the post was claiming Linux was superior because of Swap...Windows has this, so the meme is a bad one

BCsven ,

It was for movie goers who may not read sci-fi. I remember many colleages and some family members freaking out a bit "Like what if we are just in a simulation/hologram existance?" a bit of existential dread/anxiety from it.
