So, not a lot of anime stuff in China? Why would there be any? That’s a Japanese thing, so obviously Chinese people couldn’t care less.

You don’t. If you’re born on one side of the wall, that’s exactly where you’ll stay. DOGE decided that this way we can enhance the efficiency of all immigration, tourism and all travel related bureaucracy. No paperwork, no employees needed. So much cheaper that way.

While you’re at it, here’s an idea for the new name: Tyrannical Dictatorship of the Oppressed States of America.

You could always rewrite the constitution so that it says Trump is the Eternal Leader of USA.

Best of all, since it’s “made in America”, all of that money will definitely support American manufacturers. None of that money will be going to China.

Latitude and clouds really matter in these calculations. Further up north, the light gets weaker, so you’ll need to compensate with more panels. Also, the sunny hours fluctuate wildly between the short days in winter and short nights in summer.

The article mentioned Birmingham, and in that case, solar is just one of the many power sources they’ll need. Solar can support the mix, and in the summer it could even dominate for a while. They’ll still need a lot more from other sources.

The closer to the equator you are, the more sense it makes to use solar power. In places like Germany, it’s already fine, in Greece it’s really good. Anywhere south of that, it’s clearly the best solution.

Oh, that’s so delightfully clever. Good job!

Makes things shorter.

In the applications mentioned by other people, you run into calculations that would look really messy and confusing. Things like 5•4•3•2•1 can be shorted to just 5! Imagine writing the full version of 123!

Janet’s tears weren’t just about loss; they were the raw, ugly realization that the system she’d championed had no loyalty to people like her spouse.

There’s the root cause. Next time, don’t expect the system to have any loyalty towards anyone.

So… cold war 2? Hybrid war? What should we call this?

The conversation probably went something like this:

Dude 1: Yo, I'm like, sky-high, man!

Dude 2: No way, bro! Where'd ya cop this fire?

Dude 1: Beats me, man. I was already blitzed when I scored it.

Dude 2: Duuuude, that's wicked!

Dude 1: Ayo, listen up, I just had this like, mind-blowing epiphany. Check it, bro. This is gonna flip the script, man. Let's slap up a fence right at the entrance to the parking lot.

Dude 2: Totally, let's make it happen. It'll be like, the ultimate vibe killer for the fuzz, man. They'll never see it comin'. Plus, think about the street cred we'll get. We'll be legends, man. Legends!

Boys went and slapped up a fence right there, and stopped thinking about it any further. Who needs brains when you’re total legend.

If you click disagree, the site just doesn’t work at all. Instead, gadgethacks.com shows you this.

You know, normal sites make you accept the bare minimum that is required for the site to function, and give you an option to accept or reject all the tracking cancer and advertising plague.

 

So… that’s about 1.4*10^140

Which is about 1.2*10^17. Makes me feel very young now that I see how old some Lemmy users are.

Just for reference, the age of the universe is estimated to be around 13.787 *10^9 years.

 

Turns out, MS didn’t forget data sanitization. Maybe they also like XKCD.

Now September has about 6.2*10^23 days, which is several orders of magnitude longer than the age of the known universe.

Would like to know more about what’s going on with the development of this app? Any plans? How are things going? What sort of things will be the primary focus in the near future?

If you're not quite sure about getting into coffee, you can get started with a small budget, and you can make a nice cup of coffee that way. Probabaly not a great cup, but a cup of coffee you'll find enjoyable at the time. Once you start experimenting with different variables and digging a bit deeper into different flavors, you may notice that you're not getting the same cup every time. That's when you start pushing the limit of what's possible with the equipment you have available, and you'll realize that using a cheap grinder is sort of like making you play this game in the hard mode.

Examples: Using a cheap blender type grinder (blade grinder) means you can easily chop coffee to some unknown random particle size. You don’t pay much, but at least you can use recently roasted whole bean coffee, which is great. If you want to adjust the particle size in a specific way, that’s when it gets very tricky. Did you grind one second longer than last time? Too bad, now it’s way too fine and you’re getting a bitter cup as a result. Fortunately, you can easily fix that with milk, but as you start noticing more details in the taste profile, you start demanding more and more. Consequently, fixing mistakes with milk won’t be as appealing as it once was.

Using a cheap hand grinder is a lot better than an electric blender. Once you set the screw at a specific position, you’ll get the same particle size every time, which is great for consistency. What if you decide to use a french press today, but tomorrow you want to switch back to pour over, moka pot or AeroPress? Too bad, the grinder has no markings on it, so you’ll just have to eye-ball the setting and hope for the best. That’s obviously easier than timing your blender perfectly every time, but it’s still not exactly easy to get great results.

The solution: Eventually you’ll want to buy a burr grinder (electric or manual) with clear markings for different grind sizes.

When to invest? Don’t spend any more money on better gear until you’ve already “needed” better gear a few times in order to fix something you’ve noticed in your cup. As long as you’re relatively happy with your current gear and the cup it produces, there’s no need to spend more on this hobby. However, when you start noticing new things, that’s the right time to buy something that really addresses a specific thing you have in mind.

Summary: Get started with cheap gear and upgrade only when you think it’s necessary. Getting some random cup of coffee using cheap gear is easy, but getting a specific kind of cup with that gear is hard. Using more expensive gear will make it easier.

Something else? This is based on my personal experiences, and your experiences may differ. This rule of thumb might apply to grinders, but it is not guaranteed to apply to other types of equipment. For instance, I don’t own an espresso machine, so I have no idea how price is reflected on the end result in that case.

Can we please just use a space for thousands and something else for decimals? Use a comma, point, hedgehog emoji 🦔 or whatever happens to be traditional in your country, but please make sure it will never ever be confused with a thousands separator.

 

Yksityisyyden vuoksi olen muutellut tarinasta yhtä sun toista. Oletetaan, että asun vaikka Espoossa, ja sukulaisia asuu Kittilässä.

Lähdin sukulaisreissulle Kittilään, ja vietän siellä aikaa noin kuukauden verran. Siellä ollessani päätin tilata sukulaiselle yhden jutun Ranskasta. Ajattelin, että vaikka paketin toimittamiseen meneekin yli viikko, olen vielä silloin Kittilässä vastaanottamassa, joten kaiken pitäisi toimia ihan hyvin. Ilmoitin tilaukseen omat maksutietoni, mutta pistin toimitusosoitteeksi sukulaiseni osoitteen. Viime viikolla Ranskalainen firma ilmoitti, että paketti on lähtenyt postiin ja kaikki näytti hyvältä. Äsken lähetys ilmaantui myös postin kännykkäohjelmaan, mutta siinäpä kerrottiinkin, että paketti ei tulekaan Kittilään, vaan Espooseen!

Miten tähän päädyttiin ja kenen vika se oli? Aluksi ajattelin, että lähetyksestä vastaava firma ei taaskaan lukenut tilauksen tietoja, mutta tällä kertaa se firma ei edes saanut mitään muuta kuin tuon Kittilän osoitteen. Aamukahvia hörpiskellessä pengoin kaikki mahdolliset tiedot tilauksesta ja hoksasin että Postilla on yksi aika jännä käytäntö.

”Viemme paketit valitsemaasi Omaan noutopisteeseen, jos

  • et ole valinnut verkkokaupassa noutopistettä, vaan olet tilannut katuosoitteeseen ja
  • olet antanut puhelinnumerosi tilauksen yhteydessä.”

Toden totta, ihan kaikki ehdot täyttyivät, ja nyt paketti on matkalla aivan eri paikkaan kuin mihin sen halusin.

  1. Olen määritellyt oman noutopisteen, koska Espoossa ollessani haluan paketit aina tiettyyn paikkaan.
  2. Ranskalainen verkkokauppa ei tiedä mitään suomalaisista noutopisteistä, joten sellaista ei voinut valita siinä vaiheessa ollenkaan.
  3. Tilasin sen Kittilässä olevaan katuosoitteeseen, koska siellähän vastaanottajakin on.
  4. Annoin oman puhelinnumeroni tilauksen yhteydessä, jotta sitä kautta voin seurata missä mennään. Näin jälkeenpäin ajateltuna olisi kai pitänyt laittaa sukulaisen numero tähän.

Oletettavastikin Ranskalainen pakettifirama vielä liimasi pakettiin ihan oikean osoitetarran, mutta kun looda saapui Suomen rajan yli, Posti vetikin siitä aivan uudet johtopäätökset. Kun siinä kerran on minun puhelinnumeroni, posti totesi, että sitä numeroa vastaava noutopiste on määritetty, joten katuosoite voidaan unohtaa kokonaan, ja paketti meneekin siis aikaisemmin määriteltyyn noutopisteeseen.

Paketti saapuu pian Espooseen, ja tulee viemään siellä automaatista tilaa muilta lähetyksiltä. Sitä säilytetään kai jotain viikon verran, mutta siinä vaiheessa minä olen kuitenkin vielä Kittilässä, joten tuokaan pelivara ei lohduta.

Paketin toimitusosoitetta voi vaihtaa lennosta, mutta vain lähettäjä voi tehdä semmoisen tempun; ei vastaanottaja. Paketille voi teoriasssa ostaa lisää säilytysaikaa, mutta en ole löytänyt sellaista vaihtoehtoa vielä mistään. Minun tapauksessani sitä pitäisi kai ostaa ainakin 2 viikkoa lisää. Maanantaina pitää ottaa yhteyttä asiakaspalveluun, niin nähdään miten tämä sekasotku korjataan. Eipä olisi arvannut, että yhden paketin tilaaminen menisi näin monimutkaiseksi.

 

In my case, there are 95 packages that depend on zlib, so removing it is absolutely the last thing you want to do. Fortunately though, GPT also suggested refreshing the gpg keys, which did solve the update problem I was having.

You gotta be careful with that psycho!
