Okay, this didn’t make me twitch at all. Nope.

f1.4 is supposed to be the lowest f number

Where on earth do you get that idea? Lower is more expensive, so unless youre a pro, you dont see them as often.

1. Buy the Stihl gas-powered leaf blower. Dont be a dummy and skimp on the CFM, buy the nice $700 one. Note the size of the opening whence flows the air.

2. Visit your local grocer or produce stand and acquire some appropriately sized oranges, with a diameter to not quite overmatch the measurement from Step 1.

3. Cram the orange in said opening and aim at the nearest wayward teen.

4. Depress the trigger in an aggresssive manner. This is key. You do NOT want to half-ass it. Jam that fucker all the way down.

5. Shoot some trees now so you can enjoy making marmelade-flavored havoc in peace; the teens having fled in panic.

Or might as well say “Yes, I like money and want to sell to the DoD.” Source: may have used it in a slide deck once. Not actually sure, as the phrase wasnt as popular back then.

ew. Tell your government to stop mandating spyware.

Graphene does let you re-lock the bootloader. IIRC, whether an app works depends on whether they require SafetyNet full, or just basic. I have so far only found one app that refuses to work. However… it looks like MitID was recently updated and no longer works.

Starting on 2024-06-12, MitID have started using Google Play Integrity API during activation. This means that new installations will no longer work in GrapheneOS nor any other non-stock Android, as they are not certified by Google and will not pass the required checks. The app still works (for now) if you managed to get it activated before that date.

I agree it would be concerning if I allowed Gemini access to my phone. Fuck that. This shit is exactly why I am on GrapheneOS.

Sure you can go ahead and pretend she was clearing trail with that machete. lol.

I do the same thing with Aldi, and more often the other (say it with me): Kroger.

I could only dream of rocking that look she has going on. Although I am roughly twice her size, I would still not want to rely on a machete for anything more intensive than clearing a campsite. I do have one just like hers, for such an occasion. For more serious social purposes, though, I prefer a ranged attack.

In her case, the ensemble and melee weapon seem more about her own empowerment and signaling she isnt in the mood for any bullshit. It sucks that she feels like that shit is necessary. As a girldad who grew up in the Full House era, I sympathize and hope she can feel (and be) safe.

Holy shit you actually covered my use case perfectly (pocket+kobo > koreader+wallabag)! Thanks for putting this together, it is great.

Respect. Imagine being famous before you can even form your personality? She has probably never felt safe in public in her entire life.

turtles all the way down

Probably not.

This is DC, but needs more clueless tourists.

This brings to mind for me Michael J. Sandel’s discussions of law (a compliment, as he is a Harvard law prof.)

Additional storage, and installing the RTX2060 Super from my old box it was replacing. That was in 2020 when this system was new.

Oh, I did upgrade my rear chassis exhaust fan to a fancier one because the cheapo one was too loud.

I dont really play new AAA games, so it mostly does fine. When I bought it, I had planned to wait for GPU prices to return to sanity …

Not every trait has an adaptive significance.

Lately I have been making muesli a lot, which I only re-discovered recently.

I also only this year started to appreciate tart cherries which I enjoy mostly dried (unsweetened.)

In business, good ideas are a dime-a-dozen. People who can figure out how to monetize (ie, get people to pay for) those ideas are the ones that get paid big. If you cant figure out how to make money from it, it is not likely to magically work out later.

Around age 5ish, mostly Storybots. Ruff Ruffman. A few other shows handled it well for younger kids.

Once a bit older, maybe 7-8, I setup an old laptop with debian and allow-listed network connection, etc. Let them play with it and gave them learning activities.
