Looks really slick, there are some really nice looking features shown. I do have some concerns though.

First, it requires playstore to be installed. I try to degoogle my device as much as possible so Im not sure this would even work with MicroG Services.

Second it seems like a proprietary software built on Open Source platform. Right now they claim they dont do anything with our data, but that is one policy update from, ‘actually the data we have been collecting is now actually worth something sooo…’

Lastly, as a proprietary software company they have this pesky link at the bottom of their page Pricing. Currently it doesnt link to anything, and honestly that has me more worried than if it just showed a page that said we are trying to figure out how to make money off our users, and we dont know how yet. I dont have an issue paying for software I use. There are a couple open source projects I pay monthly/yearly fees to. I just prefer it to be up front. If they said they were open sourcing the code and want a subscription fee, I would be on board. No plan is kinda sketchy.

Milk based plastic was one of the first man made plastics produced back in 1890. Not 1980, 1890.

Its important to note, that while the ISBN matches Brute Orbits by George Zebrowski the description doesnt. A truly deep mystery, its almost like someone created a fake image and posted it on the interweb for laughs.

Wouldn’t that end up with a big survivorship bias? The truly corrupt would have no retractions from authors or institutions and there are potential incentives for publishers to not retract.

The stitch hat hits me hard. My youngest is obsessed with stitch.

These people are fucking monsters.

I think FreeCAD has potential. It’s not there yet. I’m trying to learn it but I’m getting a lot of grey in my beard and have been using Solidworks at work so long any new friction is frustrating.

For PDM/PLM. I’ve been looking at this recently. It also is not ready.

Its more work to setup but I am of the opinion parts should have drawings to show critical dimensions. Drawings should have rev blocks describing differences.

There are issues to this approach, but it solves a lot of problems.

I switched to Nobara a couple months ago. My computer is a lot snappier. Overall its great. Some minor difficulties but no show stoppers.

Signal desktop gives me an error that it is keeping credentials in plaintext which is fucked, I tried to get it to not do that but havnt been able to figure out how. (there are tutorials for ubuntu/gnome, but I havnt figured out how to translate those to fedora/kde…

I just started using crow-translate which is amazing, but keep getting a screenshot error message. Something with wayland maybe? again when I search there is a lot of shit about ubuntu/gnome but that doesnt really help.

I think this is a bad idea. A one time tax? Too easy to wiggle out of. Make it yearly and put it at a lower rate.

Also more protein in wheat compared to rice. Actually a lot more nutrients in wheat compared to rice.

Beef barley soup is delicious

Here’s an interesting video discussing how you might not actually even need chicken to make chicken broth.

I met a guy preaching the carnivore diet bullshit. He was actually a pretty nice dude, not a right winger just fell for the silly carrots are poison nonsense. I didn’t even bother to point out bioaccumulation / biomagnification, I was too preoccupied trying to understand where these insanely stupid ideas come from. I heard through our mutual friend he abandoned those ideas.

There is definately overlap with political chicanery. Super weird.

Oddly it was the first thing to pass through my mind too for some reason. How do you make a dip political ?

Garlic. Lots of garlic.

Underline used to be manual proofreader markup for something that was supposed to be italicized.

Looks like it could be a Blackbraid single.

More likely the air traffic control gives priority takeoff and landing to the highest bidder. Crashes are not in the airplane owners’ interest, there are better ways to make money.

ok, I just checked. They are using markdown and they have the option to not show it as formatted. Considering this is a very common format (Im using it now to write this comment) and you can view it as plaintext, this is actually a useful feature.

Homemade falafel and hummus is so much better than store bought and so easy. I just gotta perfect a pita recipe.

Hell yes. Is there a decent quality version somewhere? I have some potato quality divx on a spool somewhere.
