Idk, trying to charge a wired mouse sounds more like sleep deprivation than incompetence. Especially if it happened in a hospital.

Yeah, pretty much. I'm not saying it isn't weird, and I'm also not saying they don't idolize him, but this picture is just how evangelicals treat other evangelicals. Nothing scandalous or newsworthy, IMO.

Having know some evangelicals, it doesn't hold any huge significance. They'll lay hands on someone who has a broken arm to pray to God to heal it, so it's not like this is a huge honor. Still weird, but this isn't a sign of them idolizing him, especially compared to that golden goat statue with Trump's face on $100 bills. The goat is literal blasphemy, but "laying hands" is just how evangelicals normally act...

Personally, if I had something like that, that wasn't causing me problems and wasn't linked to future problems, I wouldn't want to know. Especially because of how unknown it is. It sounds like there's no way that information could be of use to anyone other than a researcher, so it actually seems right that you can't share it.

On the other hand, I'm glad your other friend got their sinus checked out.

I'm curious, what exactly are you worried about with your friend? Are the abnormalities you saw linked to a treatable disease?

I'm not a lawyer, but I know they can put enough leins on a property to take possession of it. I'm pretty sure police will also forcefully remove someone who's violating civil trespassing laws, but again, not a lawyer.

Local ordinances can also make things like camping on private property illegal. That would be at the city level, but really an HOA is just another form of local government so I'd argue that counts too.

Yeah, racism is considered normal in many parts of the world and you wouldn't have a progressive spouse/partner, they'd both be racist.

Local ordinances and HOA CC&Rs can make it illegal to live on your own land unless you meet certain requirements, like having a specific type of permanent building (eg. no manufactured homes).

Wifi chips have their own firmware that could have a backdoor. If it's connected to the CPU over PCI-E or another interface that supports DMA then it's also able to inject code into the main system even if it's running FOSS firmware.

I'm building a 3d printed dactyl-like keeb with this generator. It's got a cool hand scanning feature that adapts the key spacing/curvature to your hand.

Hey everyone, I'm new to photography and wondering how much people spend on lenses compared to the camera body they're mounted on? Does it make sense to buy a higher end lens for a mid range camera, or would you be better off getting a slightly cheaper lens and spending some of the money on a nicer camera? Mainly wondering about used gear...

Currently shooting with my SO's D3500 when she isn't using it, and thinking of buying my own. Considering a used Pentax since weather resistant lenses seem easier to find for them than other brands...

Edit: how practical is it to use a Pentax lens on a Nikon with an adapter, and vice versa? I assume the electronics like AF and VR won't work?

I'm printing with PLA on a "PEO" print bed (really a textured PEI), on my heavily modified ender 3, and there's a pattern on the bottom of my first layer that I'm trying to get rid of. The top of the first layer looks fine, and changing the z offset in either direction doesn't help. I've also tried slowing down the print speed because I thought the extruder might be skipping, but I'm still seeing it at 10mm/s. Any idea what could be causing it, and how to get rid of it?

Edit: the first layer went down from the bottom left to the top right, but the pattern I'm seeing is perpendicular to the extruder path
