Unless I'm thinking of something else, I'm pretty sure I had a tank tread "robot" set with a module that you could program really commands into, and then have them execute them in series.
Go forward, turn right move backward twice, make a bunch of funny sounds and blink some lights, etc.
That set was cool as shit.
If you are buying used datacenter drives, larger capacity drives are also likely to be newer, which tips the scales a little more in that direction.
Misgender them once and see how fast they decide pronouns are important after all.
And perhaps moreso when it comes to a musical instrument, what out senses perceive is more important than what one may note on an o-scope.
I watched the OG Jurassic Park the other weekend, and realized I haven't thought about a triceratops in probably a decade at least.

Just got this email notification and was about to post it myself!
I was expecting it to be a clickbaity joke, but nope it's just another case of big companies doing asshole big company stuff because it's cheaper than doing the right thing. And, surprise surprise, facilitated by at least one local politician who profited off the assholery. https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/spacex-texas-musk/
I mean, being strictly pedantic, the sperm has to come from somewhere. So I guess it depends on whether you consider an orgasm in a strange room with a small rack of nudie mags to be "sexual gratification".
Seconding Plex / Plexamp if the use case involves streaming remotely. Probably the easiest to get up and running for remote access.
I'm not sure about the capabilities of hosting on a Pi, but it should be straightforward to run a couple different apps in parallel to test and compare features (I'm currently doing exactly that with Plex and Jellyfin)
I'm pretry much on board for replacing *ist/*phobic with just plain weird now. Enough of them seem to equate being called racist/sexist/transphobic or whatever with eliciting anger, which is what they thrive on.
There's still a time and place for the specific (and accurate) labels, but many of these clowns are just sad and, well, weird attention-seekers.
You may be right. I really hate that it's so hard to tell sometimes.
I am genuinely interested in the line of logic that links "About to become leader of the free world" with "dated Montel Williams in 2001'.
That tweet is so on the nose, if I had read it in isolation, I would have assumed it was someone being ironic or trolling the racists.
The curry bit is stupid (because curry is delicious and smells good), but I could 100% see an Indian comic using the lines about speeches being facilitated by call center and customer satisfaction surveys as part of their set, because the mental image is honestly kind of funny.
For $700 they could at least throw in a 4k Blu-ray player.
Then again, I ponied up extra for the disc version of the original ps5 for that exact reason, only to find out the media player software is a giant piece of garbage that was clearly given no effort. So I can't say I'm too surprised.
American here. I'm choosing to believe that this is just a normal, everyday amount of poop-related slang for the UK, and that you're not playing it up for comedic effect.

Is this literally a petrochemical plant themed water park?
Came into the comments to read about petting baby cows. Left feeling icky. ☹️
Maybe its just cause I'm high, but baby cows are frickin adorable, and now I'm thinking about finding a rancher friend.
Anyone else do a double-take at that thumbnail while quickly scrolling?

Alrighty then, carry on
Emphasize / De-emphasize communities
I have no idea if this is possible to implement on the client side, but it would be really cool to be able to pick which subbed communities are emphasized or de-emphasized in your feed.
For example if you're on a niche sub that only gets a few posts per week, maybe you want to ALWAYS see new content regardless of how many upvotes or comments it gets.
Conversely, I enjoy a few meme subs, but right now Risa completely dominates new/hot/best filtering for me. I'd be perfectly happy just seeing the top few posts sprinkled throughout my feed.
Printer steppers causing lights to flicker
I've noticed for awhile now that whenever my Ender 3 S1 Pro is running, some of the lights on the same circuit will flicker seemingly in time with changes in X or Y stage movement. I'd guess that it's a combination of these stages causing minor voltage spikes/dips when they accelerate, and certain cheaper LED bulbs don't tolerate those spikes/dips well.
Has anyone else experienced this and implemented a good fix? It seems like some kind of power smoothing/conditioning filter plugged in between the printer and the wall would help isolate it. Most of those devices seem designed to isolate the device from fluctuations in the mains, and I'm not sure if it generally works both ways (seems like it should...)
Googling around most people are blaming similar issues on poor wiring, which I suppose could be the case even though this is a newer house. But I see very little in terms of actual proven effective fixes, even though it sounds pretty straightforward on its face.
Advice / thoughts?
F*$# cancer
Not sure where else to post this, but I just learned that an old buddy lost his lengthy battle with cancer this evening after putting up a solid fight. If anyone feels like raising a glass to a random stranger, I'm sure he'd appreciate it.
Fuck cancer, and be excellent to each other 🥃
Opening photo in landscape mode clips off the bottom edge
Basically, the title. When opening a photo with my phone in landscape mode, frequently the bottom 5-10% of the photo is clipped off, and I cannot scroll down or zoom out to view it. Oddly, if I zoom in enough, then I can scroll down to view the clipped part.
I've only noticed it when my phone is rotated in landscape mode, so I'm not entirely sure if it's limited to that mode, or if a tall enough picture would cause the same thing in portrait mode

How to remove instance login for selection menu?
I accidentally created a guest account by tapping "browse as guest" when trying to view an instance. This created a Guest_1 account in my list of instance accounts. Is there any way to remove this?

Saw L7 posted yesterday, immediately reminded me of this banger from about 20 years later!

It would frequently be helpful to have the post you are directly replying to visible in the Reply screen. Or perhaps a "Show/Hide Parent Comment" toggle on the Reply screen on case you want to refer back or quote specific details from the parent.
Request: Ability to link certain view settings to different accounts
For example, have "Show NSFW" active when logged in to one account, but disabled when switching to another. Because... reasons 😉
I believe Jerboa has this feature (account specific view settings}
Really enjoying the app by the way!
PLA or PETG for shop light mounting brackets?

I know PLA is a bit stiffer at room temp, but I'm worried it might soften too much at the worst case of warm temperatures. > > Any thoughts on PLA vs PETG for this situation?
