One does not simply walk into more door.

I’ve printed lots of functional stuff. Custom BedJet fan routing, angled connectors for deck rails, a wall mount to hold my EV plug, etc.

Most recent functional print, I printed some of these sheet stays for my bed.

I realize this may seem more critical than helpful, but trust me, it comes from a place without judgement. This is purely advice, not criticism:

Vomiting and pooping aren’t effective solutions, because they don’t actually help you lose weight.

Vomiting with a high frequency wreaks havoc on your esophagus, vocal folds, mouth, and teeth. It’s a stopgap measure for consuming too many calories, but it won’t help you. Rather, it will only make things worse.

Pooping does NOT lead to weight loss. This is a common misconception, one I held until my 30s! As it turns out, weight is primarily lost through breathing! Pooping is mostly just removing the waste that wasn’t kept by the body from the food you ate.

When you burn fat the vast majority (like 84% or something) leaves the body through your lungs as carbon dioxide. The rest as water through exhalation, urine, and sweat.

The key to weight loss is eating fewer calories than you expend. The simplest way to do that is to eat fewer calories, but this can be really difficult for people like you and me. The alternative way is to exercise, though it takes quite a bit of exercise to offset food intake. Just remember, anything that makes you breathe harder is helping you lose weight faster!

Definitely talk to your doctor if you’re concerned about your weight, especially since it sounds as though you have an eating disorder (which are nothing to be ashamed of and are far more common than people think; binge eating for example is an extremely common eating disorder that I myself suffer from).

Good, always use vet-approved pet food for your pets.

But I’ll definitely take some fried potatoes covered with salt for myself. Nothing artificial about it, just processed.

The Cheat, we gave you that switch so you could turn the lights on and off. Not so you could throw light switch raves!

I was one of those customers! Wonderful news!

And they’re open sourcing it, too? Awesome!

The iPads with AI support are the Pro ones with M processors, same series that the MacBooks use. (Believe it or not, iPad actually got the M4 before the MacBooks did.) Unless they’ve enabled it in the newest iPads running A series processors, which may have the AI cores that the iPhone 15 Pro and later have. I don’t know, I haven’t followed any iPad news in a while. My iPad Pro is mostly an extremely overpowered sheet music device that I occasionally use for productive tasks or Moonlight/Xbox/video streaming. 😅

(eg Apple AI on iPhone 15 Pro, not plus, but it’s all in the cloud anyways)

It isn’t, though. Apple does a significant amount of their AI processing locally. It’s part of why they’re “behind” the competition, but I actually see it as a plus due to the privacy advantages.

(When they do go to the cloud, that is, when the on-board models are insufficient, first it goes to Apple’s servers, where the request is reportedly handled without any tracking or logging. If Apple’s AI isn’t good enough, it will ask if it can send the request to ChatGPT, and then even that connection goes through Apple instead of through your account so tracking is minimized.)

Apple cares about privacy, or at least cares about appearing to care about privacy. They’re obviously not at the level of GrapheneOS or something, but for a mainstream retail phone company, they’re better than most in this regard.

Depends on whether or not the car has a lidar system.

Even privacy advocates tend to rate Nord relatively highly. Maybe it’s just, like, the Yankees of VPN services and they advertise hard, so people knee-jerk hate them? (But I don’t know, someone can correct me if I’m wrong.)

I’m disappointed in them dropping Meshnet, that was an awesome free perk.

I once heard someone say:

“My teens were my body’s puberty, my twenties were my mind’s puberty. By my thirties I started to have a handle on things.”

That has really stuck with me. I’ve loved my thirties!

I have such a kneejerk reaction to say “lectern” when people say “podium” that when they really do mean “podium” I have to correct myself. 😅

Sure, I get what you’re saying. You can watch the video of their meeting, it’s online. I haven’t watched it myself but I have seen writeups about it.

That’s the face of someone with the instincts to be ingratiating and the dementia required to forget who he’s supposed to hate.

The man who said Chuck Schumer came to meet him and brought “a very nice man,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, a man he meets with regularly but whom he had completely forgotten.

But what if instead of adding a third dimension by going UP, you add a third dimension by going FORWARD. Like a computer screen, X and Y coordinates are side-to-side and up-and-down. If you made a volumetric display by adding a third dimension to that, Y would be up and Z would be forward.

I usually think of Z as up, because that’s how stuff based on the physical world usually works. But I can understand why some think of it with Y as up.

RIP, Andre Braugher. 😭

Small Gods is such an incredibly good book.

Like I said, it’s one of the engines that drive DuckDuckGo. These days I only turn to Google on the rare occasion that DuckDuckGo fails me, so Bing gets some appreciation from me there.

Also yes.

Edge is just Chromium now (so worth hating still, but for different reason), and Bing has its uses. Hell, isn’t DuckDuckGo basically Bing?
