The raid cost this guy real money, breaking in his door and damaging who knows what. I hope he makes a ton of money from this ordeal.

I buy from Amazon, although much, much less than I used to a couple years ago. Bullshit reviews are mostly easy to spot, and real reviews stand out too. If I get something I don’t like, or is crap quality, whatever, I return it. I return around 25% of purchases. Without that return policy I would never shop at Amazon, not a chance.

This is the approach I take too. I’ll refactor code / UI cleanup in the area I’m working in. Sometimes QA complains if they review commits, but I’ve never had to revert changes because of it.

Great little app you’ve got there, enjoyed your video!

I love pineapple and jalapeño (and ham or pepperoni). The sweet plus spicy is really tasty..

Hear! Hear!

This is known as Ionosperic Skywave Propogation Phenomenon. I managed a small class C “day-timer” AM station in the early 90s and we had to reduce power based on a very specific schedule of dates and times. For example, start the day at 6:00 AM at low power (50 watts) and increase to full power (1000 watts) at 6:15 AM. This was to “protect” the class A station which had the rights to broadcast in our area at night. I believe the class A was KGO in San Francisco. My station was 810 KKGD in western Colorado (no idea if it is still broadcasting).

>> Right in line with HN.

It is unquestionably that.

I’d like to hear your story.

I so want to do this, but I have such a sweet tooth I don’t think I can succeed. I can go a few days without sweets but then the urge is just overwhelming. I want to try weaning, by just eating fruit instead of processed treats. Will that have any effect at all, make it harder overall, or is the only way to just cut sugar completely?

Love it!

Haha, one of my favorites too. Another one is Driver License.

Nope, you’re not :)

I prefer listening to audiobooks (novels) for going to sleep. The app I use on my tablet has a sleep timer with a chime sound to signal you when it’s about to turn off. Shake the tablet briefly to extend the timer. I use cheap wired earbuds, or earbud actually because I cut off one of the buds and listen with the ear that isn’t facing the pillow. Occasionally I’ll get up and out of bed dragging my tablet with me.

I run several of my D5 programs in windows 11 and they work great. Single .exe, just copy it and run it.

Here’s one of my favorites - super easy problem that almost everybody gets wrong.

On a piece of paper, write the following numbers as a vertical column:

4000

  40

  20

  30

  10

For best results, 4000 should be first and 10 last. Now take a second piece of paper and cover the number list. Ask someone to add the numbers up out loud as you move down the list, uncovering one number at a time starting with 4000. (First you expose the 4000, next the 40, and so on.) In nearly every case the person will call out the following: 4000, 4040, 4060, 4090, 5000. And typically they won’t believe you when you tell them they’re wrong, sometimes even after giving them the paper to redo their math.

Edit: formatting

Keeps timing out.

Coming soon, late night TV ads from legal firms à la Mesothelioma..

Sorry, wasn’t trying to be pedantic… just thought it was an interesting point of trivia.

FYI in Texas it’s a driver license, not driver’s license.

You can’t trust atoms. They make up everything.
