kari Link ParentMaybe I’m dumb but this is the argument I’ve never understood. Insulation works both ways, right? We insulate our houses here in Texas even though it’s for the heat.made worse by the fact that a lot of houses are masonry or stone that are intended to retain heat

As a Toyota fan who didn’t really start watching WEC until Le Mans 2023 and Ferrari’s win, glad to see them back on top. Super happy for Nyck de Vries, too. Wish they kept the Gazoo Racing branding, though! I hope they don’t change the WRC team name.Overall I had a great time watching, though. Maybe next year I’ll try stay up the full 24 hours. Also can’t wait for the COTA round in September!

If I’m going to actually be out in the sun and covering more of my body I typically go with some american mineral sunscreens and deal with the greasy feeling just because it’s so much cheaper to cover myself in.

There are a handful of users using it who seem quite good at finding bugs :P especially with multi-output support which I don't really test (since I only have one).
For work, I started a new job in April and I'm finally getting up to speed with my first task. We make cloud controllers and gateways to do some cybersecurity stuff, but right now we don't have a great way for customers (or even us) to see if a gateway is healthy besides "is it working?". I'm working on adding a health check API for the controller to gather and collect health on each gateway connected to it and its individual services. It's been a bit of a struggle but I think that's just part of joining a new company? Idk, this is the first time I've changed jobs since graduating when I could be expected to be a dumbass. I've enjoyed learning Go so far, though! It still kind of feels like weird Zig but I really don't mind it at all.
