  • I just use a lodge bristle brush. But yeah they're easy enough to clean.

  • I only ever cook eggs in my cast iron skillet. If I am patient enough to get it hot enough and cook with butter, and don't mess around with the egg too much very little sticks and what does is a cinch to clean. The pans are heavy as hell though. I don't lug except car camping. I haven't tried stainless yet but it sounds like it would be worth doing.

  • I mean motion is all relative anyway, right? So would teleportation be like throwing a ball on a train? That is, the ball's motion depends on the frame of reference. So maybe teleporting would work that way if it were actually possible.

  • Hopefully people with more of a clue than me will chime in... Meanwhile, my best swag is the filesystem had issues and had to do an fsck? If that's the case it would boot quickly next time assuming a clean shutdown.

    Were there any errors during boot?

    Fastboot enabled in BIOS or no? (Not sure if this has anything to do with anything I'm just trying to look useful)

    PS: the weird active time could maybe somehow be related to the filesystem being borked needing fsck? I'm not sure.

  • Definitely do not give up! It won't always be like this. Woodworking (apparently) takes a long time to get great at. I wouldn't know since I still suck lol.

    I would think you could fix the glue stain by sanding and refinishing (assuming the veneer is thick enough?), but I am a noob and I suck, as mentioned above...

  • That's what I've started doing. Blu-ray and DVD are pretty cheap (for now) at the local thrift stores and eBay. Totally worth it for our favorite movies.

    It would be technically illegal for me to burn those movies and put them up on a dedicated Jellyfin server running Linux on a 4th gen MicroFF PC where we could stream them from the local lan, kinda like rolling your own totally offline Netflix with slick UI and cross platform support (Mac, android, Linux, windows). It would be cool and I'm sure it would work brilliantly, not that I would know.

    I'm not sure of the legality of putting all my CDs on there as well along with copies of e-reader compatible books.

    I haven't left the dock and hoisted the Jolly Roger but I totally understand why one would. Last time I sailed I was not an adult and couldn't afford all those great C64 games. With the bullshit streaming companies are pulling they deserve what they get.

    ...so far! This looks amazing!

  • Definitely talk to your doc. (My GP prescribes my meds; the psychologist diagnosed and wrote a letter).

    I don't really have noticeable side effects. When I first tried the stuff I started at 30mg then at 40mg I started seeing lots of bright spots and went back to 30. Freaky experience.

    I've been on 30mg for years now. My heart doesn't usually race but some days I get a little jittery. I don't recall it being elevated back when I was using an exercise monitor. It probably doesn't help that I drink a double shot latte every morning with my meds. My BP did not seem to be affected by the lisdex last time I tested it on and off the ADHD meds. (I am on BP meds too).

    Worth mentioning, I am also on Effexor (venlafaxine) for depression and anxiety, which was diagnosed a decade before adhd-c. Prior to Effexor I was on Lexapro for a few years.

    When I was testing dosage, my PA said to increase 10mg every few days until I noticed it helping, then increase until I noticed side effects and then we would go with 10mg below that. Or something like that. Which is how I ended up at 30mg.

    I recall that I couldn't tell at first how much 30 helped vs 40 but now that I have more experience with the medicine and self evaluating my symptoms. The difference between 30mg and none is now very obvious.

    Although... I have been thinking about trying 40 again so I can re-evaluate, in case I get a bit more out of it without side effects this time. Maybe I will do that next time I'm up for a refill.

  • Totally worth the watch. It's so fascinating to see the differences, but more so the similarities, between then and now.

    Even though that age had its share of war, sorrow, infirmity, and so on, I have to wonder if there wasn't a sense of optimism from all of the rapid progress in science and technology. I doubt any of these people saw a world war coming in just two decades and a shakeup of the world order, the death of empires, and so forth.

    One of my hobbies is collecting pocket watches and my favorite, a ladies Elgin in an ornate gold plated case, was manufactured about a decade before these films were made. It is wild to think this watch could have been worn by someone in these films and then surviving so many years and so much change yet still ticking away and keeping time to this day.

  • I suppose unless the instrumentation is built into the car's systems (no idea if it is or not), it may be difficult or time consuming to check the health of an EV battery pack. But it's not like you can eyeball the cylinder compression of an ICE car, either. I suspect that since they're a relatively new tech, the tools and tricks aren't widely known for evaluating them. You would have to measure the voltage drop on the battery vs current draw and have baseline data to compare that to. I would think EVs would track power usage (otherwise how do you know when to charge the vehicle?) and so they should be able to estimate the AH capacity of the battery?

  • I imagine they're not awful fond of Russian invasions, either.

  • Load average of 400???

    You could install systat (or similar) and use output from sar to watch for thresholds and reboot if exceeded.

    The upside of doing this is you may also be able to narrow down what is going on, exactly, when this happens, since sar records stats for CPU, memory, disk etc. So you can go back after the fact and you might be able to see if it is just a CPU thing or more than that. (Unless the problem happens instantly rather than gradually increasing).

    PS: rather than using cron, you could run a script as a daemon that runs sar at 1 sec intervals.

    Another thought is some kind of external watchdog. Curl webpage on server, if delay too long power cycle with smart home outlet? Idk. Just throwing crazy ideas out there.

  • Fucking fantastic. I gotta block more news before I lose it JFC.

  • Exactly. Systemic issues. That's my expert (fan of Air Disasters) opinion.

  • It's on my list to do this at some point.

    Speaking of radio.... Any ham people on here?

  • I was a sysadmin, once....Not for long.

  • No I'm sure most of the people are ok. Just throw Orban in the lake. Metaphorically of course. With a metaphorical boat anchor tied on.

  • Did...did you sit on your cat?? Wtf am I seeing here?

  • Not op. I installed windows 10 on my custom built desktop and my kids custom built desktop, on VM, etc. Have not had a problem and it was pretty simple overall. I'm sure some folks do have issues, though. Shit happens. Is windows 11 shittier for install? I've never had the desire to try :)

    I've also installed various Linux distros on the above and a few other computers (Mint, Nobara, Fedora). Aside from Mint not working with my AMD RX 6600, no problems there either, really. And these distros installed easily.

    Again, ymmv. I knew Mint would probably fail because the 5.19 kernel does not seem to like my GPU. That's why I switched to Nobara in the first place (iirc the 6.x kernel wasn't available at the time)
