I get that feeling in Lidl. Their ambient music used to be somewhat identifiable, now it just seems a bit off.

Damn, the number of these that I've had. Hardest choice for me: Apple Extended Keyboard 2 vs TiBook. Had both, Used AEK2s for a decade or more, still have the TiBook with Myst on it.

In Ireland, we’re running at about 75% renewables for the day, with most of that being wind. The absolute numbers are smaller, but that’s a peak of about 500 MW of solar and 3.6GW of wind, against something like 5-6Gw of demand.

When I visited CERN, they mentioned that there were some large number of protons in the ring at a time, and the runs would last a significant amount of wall clock time. (Don’t remember the exact numbers, but I think it was like 10^19 atoms

Dutch Baby or German Pancake is probably right in that abyss. Very eggy, with some flour/milk. It's essentially a souffle, puffs up to like 6" high in the oven. Tasty with maple syrup, powdered sugar/lemon, or just butte

Fantasy is certainly big, but it’s not like there isn’t space sf or space opera out there. Authors in my library who’ve released space sf stuff in the last few years — Anne Leckie, Ada Palmer, Andy Weir, Adrian Tchaikovsky, Arkady Martine

Suspension and steering is probably loose bushings. Side Slip is alignment/tracking. Wheels and tires is almost always worn tires, especially passenger side front due to roundabouts. I'm not sure what the vehicle safety and equipm

Ok, from memory -- There's a pre, do and post phase for the migrations. When you run a single migration, it's: pre, do, post. When you run 2 migrations, it's: pre [1,2], do: [1,2], post: [1,2]. So, if you have a migration tha

There are some subtle edge cases in the django migrations where doing all the migrations at once is not the same as doing migrations one by one. This has bitten me on multiple django projects.

We had 4 bags go through, 3 had liquids (2 water bottles and one Barenfang) in them. All three were pulled for secondary screening, at which point they put the specific liquid bottles in a secondary scanner and cleared them. So, yes, they s

I don't recall it in Frankfurt last summer, but it was definitely going earlier this month. Though, they've got a weird security setup for some of the gates, so I'm sure it varied from gate to gate. Dublin and Edinburgh have

It's a specific liquid scanner that's done on bottles that have been pulled aside for extra scanning (at least, that's what Frankfurt was doing a couple weeks ago)

Me too. Mini has gone from main dev machine, to backup, to kids, and now to Lightroom. It wasn't a slouch BITD, 6 core and 32G ram. It's a bit slow now, but not that bad even on the 4k screen. But it's the best thing I have

Interesting that citibike publishes trip level data. The bike share schemes in Dublin only publish station counts or free bike locations. So you can see the overall pattern of bike motion, but there’s no way to see how many north side tri

Greylistibg is very effective in my experience, but there are definitely some confirm your email loops that won’t work without whitelisting. It’s a combination of multiple ip addresses and retry times greater than the life of the code.

My 16 yr old just had his phone update and apply his old screen time settings from 4 or 5 years ago. Sorry kiddo, don’t remember the screen time password. Now why they came back, and weren’t working before? The restrictions were so full o

How does this get the maps of the data flows and so on? Does it require read credentials to each data silo, or is there a manual mapping process?

I just got one of the last beelink ser-8s with 64gb for $750. They sold out by the time my order arrived. The newer ones are starting around 830 for a 32gb machine (admittedly with newer everything)
