That’s a joke I cannot afford to make…

I’d hate you too if you were trying to clog up my tailpipe.

Never messed with arduinos specifically, but I’ve built a few projects throught the years with ESPs, those things are dirt cheap and very fun to work with! Nothing with motors though - mostly attaching them to sensors and batteries to collect data, or control lighting (LED/RGB strips, etc).

There’s just *way * too many interesting things in the world, and so little free time! It’s a tragedy really… :)

Hope you can find the time and life conditions to embrace the projects you love. Have a great day!

You’re doing it wrong brother, if you’re doing it IRL that’s work, good riddance…

But for real, that’s really cool! You hooked up a motor and photo resistors to a controller you’ve programmed? Bonkers. Do you have any write up about it? super curious about how you did it.

Could you live without learning a made-up assembly-like programing language just so you can have your solar panels track the sun, only to find out you know very little about “azimuth” and “elevation” and now your potatoes aren’t growing because you can’t power that grow light.

I mean, you could, but are you even living at that point?

Did you mention how fun it is to find out you got your gaseous fuel stoichiometry wrong? It’s a blast.

Oh. Good point.

Unrelated, but anyone deep enough in the comments to read this, you might consider checking out the game Stationeers - a brutally complex base/space station/colony building game that will eat years of your life if you let it, stay away. Huge fun.

This makes sense to me.

Also, with all that surface area on panels, I feel like there’s a way of having them double as heat radiators - one side captures energy, the other radiates it out…

He has to be desperate for a new “supplier” after his BFF Epstein was suicided, maybe he’s thinking these morons fit the bill.

Cuban participation in the war appears primarily driven by its severe economic crisis

That is from the US Department of State.

Judge the Cubans if you must, but most are likely enlisted by russian recruiters under false pretenses, or because getting shot tomorrow in someone else’s war is still better than dying of starvation today.

Ukraine is a hostage because they can’t live without US support.

Cuba is a hostage because it can’t live without outside (Russia, China, or others) assistance with the embargo in place.

It’s a big dog’s world.

Hahaha.

“Remote regions of the world that don’t have fibre. Like most of America.”

Google was found to have paid manufacturers and telecoms to have Google search and Chrome pre-installed, and further enforced this by blocking access to its Play Store if they didn’t comply. Finally, it prohibited manufacturers from offering other versions of Android, again by threatening to ban access to its apps.

The only reason Apple isn’t also fined here is that they build and sell their own hardware, so they don’t have to force anyone to play by their rules - because they’re the only ones on the field…

Apple has been fined several times for abuse of dominant position though, and will surely be fined again since they continue to do it and profit massively from it.

Tipping is not normal.

Tipping is an exception that follows exceptional service, and bringing plates to a table isn’t exceptional, it’s part of the job.

I get it that servers aren’t being paid enough to live, but look at your boss making bank with your work,.not at me, I’m not Social Security.

Knowing the type, I’d say that’s highly doubtful.

They fear the mob. We are many, they are few.

If those onlookers step out to the street and march along with them, they’ll shit their pants, because they’ve probably seen the footage, and they know what they did - and if that mob sees it, god help them.

TV ads are acceptable, they are strictly limited to -24 LUFS. Streaming media like YouTube enforces -14 LUFS.

That’s 10 decibels, it’s twice as loud.

And that’s just the hard cutoff.
While YouTube will bring down the volume automatically (say, if you upload something with -9 LUFS, it will bring it down to -14), it doesn’t scale up.
So maybe a conscious creator is uploading at -24, then BOOM ad at -14 and your ears start to bleed.

This law aims to fix that, by forcing the ads to be at the same volume of the content that’s playing, instead of just being able to blast at full volume.

Sure, in a world where the big boys have Death Stars.

You said so yourself, everyone has a ton of those.

Darrell is firing an ICBM at a place that is being hit with hypersonic hydrogen bombs all the time. Either he’s hitting rubble, or a damn impressive defense that he’s unlikely to break.

Exactly. If you go through 100 tickets and find 5 real vulnerabilities to patch, that sounds incredibly good…

Meh. When you’re expecting to have to defend against an army battalion, how much of a thread is Darrell the flat-earther and his AR-15?

Because if Darrell is doing damage, you’ve been conquered and didn’t even noticed.

Edit: in case you’re not following the thread and feel an urge in your loins to come defend Darrell, do note that I’m not disparaging the issues a dimwit with AI can cause. I’m pointing out that other players will have even larger sticks than your friend Darrell.

Case in point, Darrell will not have Claude Fable. Others will.
