I remember watching this when I was 9 years old and feeling vaguely traumatized.

Could be they want to hit a certain category (groceries) on the card. Maybe they are also trying to meet minimum spend on a new card.

For those who shop a lot on Amazon, the Chase Amazon Visa is probably worth it since it always gets 5-6%, but if you don’t have that card, using gift cards to hit a grocery category seems reasonable. Slightly more hassle, but at least you can split purchases on Amazon.

I really enjoyed all 4 seasons.

It’s very character driven, which I know isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. I enjoyed seeing characters grow and change through the seasons and loved the way the show moved through different eras of technology.

Google will also try to block you from their RCS servers if they detect you’re rooted, causing your messages to be silently downgraded. It’s pretty bad.

Oxidation in the fab process. They have simultaneously claimed that oxidation isn’t causing any issues, and that it’s caused only “some” crashing issues. Because they’ve been so wishy washy, it’s probably safe to assume that any 13th or 14th gen CPU that experiences any kind of crash or BSOD is degraded and should be RMA’ed immediately, otherwise you risk getting stuck with a permanently physically degraded CPU.

Intel says they identified the issue sometime in 2023 and fixed the fab process. So the good news is that any newly manufactured Raptor Lake CPU shouldn’t have this issue. The bad news is that Intel won’t give a date range of when the fab issue occurred, or exactly what CPUs it affected (by date code), so really the only choice consumers have at this point (before we get to the inevitable class action lawsuit) is to RMA at the slightest sign of instability.

Intel is also planning to release a microcode update in August, but there’s a lot of doubt that this can be fixed via microcode.

This was affecting 50% of Raptor Lake CPUs in data centers, and it’s become clear via video game telemetry that it has also affected a significant number of consumer chips.

When learning another language, it’s really normal for your comprehension to be way better than your production. Input > output. Just keep talking to people and consuming English media and it will come to you. The more you increase your input, the more fluently and naturally you’ll speak – it won’t sound like you’re speaking from a textbook.

Like you I also struggle with vocab though. What I like to do for focused study is watch a show or some piece of media and pick out some words I want to learn in context and make flashcards from them.

For me it is a convenience thing – I spend a lot of time working from home and sometimes it’s nice to just be able to grab my phone and join a meeting while I’m sitting on the couch or w/e without needing to go over to my home office room. My team almost never does anything outside of work hours, so it’s not like I’m getting pinged or anything. In the rare situation where I get some notifications from a chat channel outside of working hours (usually someone in a different time zone) then I can just turn off work apps in Android and it goes away.

Extension library for Tachiyomi forks. No idea if it works with Aniyomi.

At least they didn’t hit keiyoushi.

I wonder if it has to do with reusing the transmission lines from the coal plant.

Arch + i3wm on my work laptop and I love it. Super functional.

I got a refresh/new laptop and they put Ubuntu on it. Really miss Arch’s repos & package manager. Probably will switch it at some point.

AUR tends to work really well for me. There are binary packages for almost every software that I use. Things do go wrong occasionally, but when they do it’s almost always solvable. AUR packages are just scripts, so you can go and fix the problem yourself and then tell the maintainer how you did it.

They don’t tho

Yours is the best take.

My guilty pleasure is the Air Crash Investigation series, or more recently Mentour Pilot on YouTube. It scratches both itches in my brain – the logic / engineer side, and the morbid curiosity & fascination with disaster.

The Roy thing is maybe pushing a little into weird. But if this sort of thing wasn’t normal then there wouldn’t be whole shows, subreddits, etc dedicated to disasters.

Hoping that it gets included soon as the folks developing the Android TV client have said they don’t want to support intro skipping until it’s part of Jellyfin core. Until then the only option is auto skipping and I don’t really want to do that.

While I acknowledge the concept of a “carbon footprint” is complete BS, beef production does have a very high impact on climate change. Just want to point out that fact. I still eat it from time to time though. Yes, beef is high in protein and tasty.

As an aside, I believe as environmentalists, we shouldn’t shame people for doing the “wrong” things IMHO as even the best of us still contribute to the problem in some way. Everyone has their own reasons for doing what they do, and shame doesn’t often change minds. Personally, I try to take my own small steps, but I’m not prepared to live like a hermit. I do try to eat meat less often, and I volunteer a considerable amount of time to lobby for more climate friendly policies. This course of action is what works well for me.

From what I can tell it is IP address + browser fingerprinting. Possibly a little more emphasis on the browser fingerprinting.
