    Less than 80F here for that day. Oven at 220F for about 3h. Had the ribs in for the preheat too. Much easier than baking at 450F when it's 90F outside and humidity is like 120%

    Wasn't there a recent report that this market was also leveraged all the way? This could just be a breath of unwinding that.

    I bought the Pixel3 when the price dropped on the Pixel4 was announcement. I used it until the price was cut on the Pixel9 when the 10 was announced. It went for years w/o update from Google. Only got a new one cause the phone was damaged. I got the Pixel9 for the Graphene option but haven't made that jump yet.

    Of course I know him. He's me! I just got roped into another one of these. For business process automation it's amazing what a motivated manager can create. But it's messy and not secure and blah blah. But that don't matter. Before to get these good tools deployed an engineer would have to identify the problem and then know enough business case to prototype and get management buy-in. Now they buy themselves in and bring the experience in to fix the mess. It's actually better/faster for the business this way.

    PE money is all about margin squeeze. Has rekt dentists, vets, funeral homes and nearly everything it touches. Buy and consolidate then raise rates. Generally it's a good deal for the persons selling the business to them but at-large market competition is reduced - which hurts everyone. Wish I knew a solution.

    I don't know how to ask without sounding rude (a frequent problem for me) but...why do you care (about human verification on the web)?

    I'm working on a tool to assert that I'm a human on the web via some oAuth like pattern. Also working on some UEFI and Bootloader stuff, like merging efibootmgr with syslinux

    Ages ago I stared this project to grow indoor and use solar power for the lamps and vents. Way back, I had to have 12 panels to charge the bank to power my small laps for 10 hours. Over the last decade the efficiency of both LED and Solar has changed the maths so much! 400 watt panels are cheap! 100 watt LED panels are cheap. These innovations are a game-changer for power. And keeping all circuits in DC only improves the efficiency. Looking forward to Solar to Sodium battery to EV - with no inverter loss.

    Aggrigating together deals and reviews of cannabis brands and products. It started because shopping for my preferred tincture required visiting five different slow ass sites, with crappy search to see who had availability - and what price. It's got some feature creep happening now.
