The ones I put up in my house have a high tension spring inside the top. When you want to raise the blinds you lift them up when you want to lower the blinds you pull them down. They’re not fantastic but they work well enough. You have to kind of coax them to go up lift them up a few times but then again mine were the cheapest Walmart had available

I think I’m going to wait until immich thinks so as well

We just test piloted a few for the first time since IBM stopped making them. I was really disappointed when one had a fan problem just outside of warranty, I went ahead and cracked it open. It was all Phillips screws which was kind of nice. They weren’t all the same which kind of sucks but not that bad. I went to pull the fan out to get a replacement, found out I had to replace the entire fan assembly heat pipes heat sinks everything. I was super pissed off until I found out I could buy the part off their website and it was 80 bucks. Dell won’t even sell me parts. 80 boxes a lot to pay for a fan, But when replacing it replaces both the CPU and the GPU fan and gives me fresh radiators, It could be worse.

From a corporate standpoint I’m a fan.

I’m in a new development. It’s all plastic.

It comes down to what’s open, how dangerous the condition is, and who was outfitted to do what.

If you’re having legitimate trouble breathing like you are filling your lungs and it’s not enough, or you can’t get enough air in your lungs for any reason, straight to the ER.

Unknown irregular heartbeat or chest pain that doesn’t go away with antacid, go to the ER.

Urgent cares near me generally have x-ray equipment. They’re capable of a few stitches, they can handle prescriptions for emergent illness. If you walk in there with a f’dup heart rhythm or breathing problems they’re going to call you an ambulance.

Scheduling something with your primary care is for all your other long-term needs. Preventative maintenance, blood tests, they can probably do an EKG and they should be the ones managing your long-term medications.

If you have something that feels urgent and the urgent care isn’t open the ER is always an option.

City water usually tastes of chlorine. Totally drinkable, but not super pleasant.

Costco 24 packs are cheap AF.

Filtered water pitchers are expensive AF.

If you have a fridge with filtered water and try to buy carbon filters locally, they’re more expensive per gallon than the Costco water.

I buy generic filters in bulk that are cheaper per gallon, but it’s not by that much.

If we want to save the environment, we need to invent a super cheap refillable carbon filter and a way to use it easily.

This is the conclusion of a study on adoption practices from 1973 to 2002, published on Friday.

Children from India were systematically adopted without the consent of their parents, Rita Kesselring, head of the research project, told Swiss public radio, SRF.

Just some detail for what this is about

Canonical historically makes bad decisions. Ubuntu any most points in time is simply great. Their LTS is fab. But they’re hungry. And they screw with us over time. the latest Debian just erased most of the reason to go with Ubuntu adding nonfree, and they haven’t screwed us over.

I did. It’s a bit clickbaity.

Yes Glock is a super popular gun.

Yes it’s possible to make them full auto.

Then the throw in some weaseling : turning up increasingly, police think it was used this one time, this anti-gun commission says. Spraying bullets.

Glock has a reputation for quality, they’re cheap and reliable, not having a safety adds nuance of danger for those idolizing them.

I’m sure there are some people using full auto Glocks, but they’re extremely rare. It’s not this new impending threat. They could have easily done the article detailing the full auto device or given real numbers of use. They’re in it for the clicks.

They’re just going out for smokes, they’ll brb

It would seem the republicans send us congress people, they’re not sending us their best

Well thats good to hear

Securing the substation itself is easy you just build a cinder block wall around it put a roof on it and then alarm it. You put up cameras in hire ADT to look after it

The problem is once you do that they can then go after transmission lines.

These people need to be infiltrated and run in as terrorists.

Wayland is ready, ‘nobody’ else is ready to use Wayland. And by nobody, I mean any software packages that are doing anything at all out of the ordinary. Text expanders are a hot mess, remote control apps or dodgy, OBS screen capture is dodgy. We’re still playing catch up, support for Wayland in applications is honestly quite lacking.

I don’t think there’s any solid argument that precludes people from doing maintenance on their own car. There’s always some form of inspection or monitoring that can be done. Brakes in particular are perfectly reasonable. I particularly miss ease of maintaining drum brakes. They were literally designed to be maintained by the end user, you pull the wheel, The drum slides right off and the parts are readily available. If you want to get fancy you could buy a tool to help you remove the spring.

Things should be designed to be maintained by the end user and the end user could choose to go to a mechanic if they wanted to.

Honestly what we’re running up against at this point with car maintenance is design to cost. Every part that is maintainable on a car could be designed to be easily maintainable for a cost. Rather than the manufacturer paying that cost, there making us pay the cost at the mechanic. You can literally buy repair parts that are easy and convenient to work with that are improvements over OEM.

In the case we’re talking about for this article it’s literally a wire on a lithium ion battery pack in a wrist mounted device that failed that they’re refusing to replace.

And it’s not like he’s going to fall out of the sky and land in somebody’s backyard.

And if you were asked to leave in the US because of a facial disfigurement you could fully expect to have a business closing lawsuit won against you in no time at all. Wa are as litigious AF for better or worse, usually worse.

The argument that because some people can’t, or won’t do a good job, no one should isn’t a very good one. Under that same logic you could exclude wiper blades.

You end up like New Jersey where you can’t pump your own gas. There are already guidelines and fixes for this wrapped around repairing your home power. You’re not allowed to architect major changes without the sign off of somebody who is a registered professional but you’re absolutely allowed to fix things that are already there.

For more people die from not fixing their brakes, because it’s difficult and expensive than ones who fix their brakes incorrectly.

Could you imagine those ledgers trying to process when everyone in existence tries to insert hundreds to thousands of unique licenses. Then having to continuously access records on every media use after that.

How many unique copies of media are there out there. Hundreds of billions, trillions. I don’t think we have anything adequately designed at this point that could handle that kind of load.
