Not exactly what you’re asking, but it’s also worth checking your local library. Some of them grant their cardholders access to external sources that might overlap with what you’re after.

Shutting down a laptop also makes it shut up!

lol. They’re promoting their employee shuttle. Classic Felon.

Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein is one the books I read during my formative years that I still think about a lot.

If you like graphic novels, The Sandman by Neil Gaiman is fantastic. Great writing and great artwork.

Did you put regular detergent in a high efficiency washer?

My baby has diapers that say “up to 100% leakproof”. It does not help my confidence in the product.

When Windows 95 was still sold on floppy, it came on 25 fucking floppies in the box.

So I say put Windows 38 on them.

Not a doctor, but I wouldn’t assume a cream and a tablet will function the same way for the same problem.

One thing you could try: instead of showering, take a bath. Soak in the water for a while, then dry off and apply the cream right away. Obviously doesn’t help for everything, but in my experience, having well hydrated skin makes a lot of things sting a lot less.

It looks like it gives birth to Cybertrucks.

YES. It’s brilliant.

You need to run it with sudo, duh.

The universal problem is that there’s no shared definition of what a downvote represents. Is it “this is spam and should be removed”? “I don’t like this”? “This doesn’t belong here”? “I want to see less of this”? “I disagree”?

That’s not even a Reddit problem - it’s innate to any social media voting apparatus. Extend it to Facebook, even. Does the laugh reaction mean I’m laughing with you or at you?

Most comments and posts I’ve downvoted have been because I accidentally swiped too far right and my upvote changed to the downvote action and I didn’t even notice. So those downvotes don’t even mean anything!

I think the right answer is to stop worrying about votes. Even if they all mean the same thing they’re still meaningless. It’s better to change your post and comment sorting setting than to try to social engineer a way out of it.

I had a Roomba that was cloud connected (when AWS has an outage, it doesn’t work at all).

It still just mindlessly ran various patterns and beeped when it got stuck, which was all the time. Piece of shit.

My beef with YouTube music is that no matter what song I start from, in 4 songs it has turned into Levitating by Dua Lipa.

Children’s songs? Foreign language? Electro swing? Hip hop? Doesn’t matter. Levitating is coming soon.

Especially if they died and taught everyone else to not eat that thing.

You’re just mad Gender Studies didn’t call you for a second interview.

What about Mermaid? https://mermaid.js.org/syntax/gantt.html

It supports Gantt charts and has a pretty nice language for modifying chart content once you get used to it.

I use Obsidian with the Mermaid plugin for offline work, but there are tons of good web-based options out there, too.

The last few phones I had wouldn’t power on if they didn’t have a minimum battery charge, even when plugged in. That’s to ensure a minimal amount of available power to be able to boot the phone. I wonder if the phone would have the same restriction with a missing battery and not just a drained battery…

I assume you’re concerned about the battery eventually blowing up from being on the charger forever?

The most common thing I’ve seen are projects where it acts like a screen or control panel on the wall. Something that’s a fixture or art project.

You don’t need it for anything like music or games - your new phone will be more convenient and run those things better anyway.

A friend of mine stuck an old tablet on the wall and connected it via Bluetooth to his keg system. It gave him a permanent status readout on his beer temperature and how much was left in each keg. It just had a power cable plugged in all the time so it didn’t need to be charged.

Yes.
