Reddit made that change where if you blocked someone they couldn’t reply to you in a thread.

That was quickly weaponized so that you could ‘win’ an argument. Someone could write something and your reply would not appear, so it looked like you realized you were wrong.

We should not care so much about ourselves and care more about the world

Define ‘fast enough’

Olive oil generally lasts about a year, give or take depending on heat and sunlight. Subject to high heat that time can be cut in half.

By all means do why you wish though

How so?

Heat degrades them quickly. Olive oil will go rancid and spices lose their flavor

They keep their olive oil and spices next to the stove. Pass. Maybe they could learn though.

Capriglione expressed a desire to ejaculate into cookie batter intended for a bake sale one of his daughters was participating in

“His fantasy was that — when no one was looking — that he would produce ‘baby gravy’ to put into the cookie batter before they were baked, because it was a turn-on for him,” she said, claiming that he enjoyed the idea that “all of the girls in the neighborhood would be consuming” his ejaculate.

Is there anything to him shooting a Blackstone CEO , or was that random?

Honest question as I haven’t been following this much.

I did a winter project with a friend, rebuilding an original Trident rolling basket. He had always wanted one. I have never hated any motorcycle as much as that one. We finish it, the snow melts, it runs great, sounds awesome, rides like shit, he loved it anyway. It lasted a full 11 days before it sheared a wristpin and launched a piston through the head.

Torque wrenches take length into account in the calibration…

Good, this bullshit has never made a compelling argument

In its defence, Google argued that since it was not based in Uganda and had no physical presence in the country, it was not obliged to register with the PDPO, and the rules on cross-border transfers of personal data did not apply to it. However, the regulator rejected this argument, determining that Google is a local data controller since it collects data from users in Uganda and decides how that data is processed.

By 10am on Friday, data suggested an extra 66,000 internet users in the UK had begun using the dark web.

You already don’t have a good vibe from him, and life goals sound incompatible. If he made one sexual innuendo and you didn’t respond to it, then he continued doing so he doesn’t respect your boundaries.

Hard pass

The lack of documentation is a huge problem, if you opened up an old tube amp to fix it there was often a full schematic taped to the cover. Solid state amps often had component values stenciled right on the board.

The case was reportedly quite damning and ended up going nowhere.

I haven’t seen any sources yet that say that’s why she was fired though, it could be. It seems more likely that trump hates her dad and wants to install another loyalist.

Wired did a piece on this, but there isn’t much more information in it than this one

The level of technical knowledge needed to repair things has increased, while general technical knowledge has decreased. People aren’t reading Popular Mechanics from the 1950’s where “build a hovercraft from an old lawnmower” the building one.

Parts are also a huge problem. Where previously a car alternator, for example, was three discrete parts, alternator-rectifier–voltage regulator, that is now a single assembly. If one of those parts goes bad you need to replace the whole thing, unless you have used parts you can pull from. For some things the assembly is NLA, no longer available.

As for why it’s cheaper that comes down to manufacturers wanting to sell you a new one, not wanting to have to spend money on repair stock sitting somewhere, and possibly not having access to it themselves since very few manufacturers actually produce a complete product on their own.

For something simple like a Bluetooth speaker, the power supply comes from one company, the Bluetooth module and amplifier from another, the driver, a display board, the housing, someone designs it and puts that all together. If any one of those chains fails you may not be able to source the part to fix something.

There are usually workarounds to this but unless you are doing it yourself it will be cost prohibitive

Example: friend rented a house with a new stove, gas top, electric oven. Two months later the oven stopped working, motherboard was NFG (no fucking good), it was also NLA. So the landlord bought a new stove. The old one could have been made to work, but the complete functionally would not have been there. If my friend owned this I would have said ‘I can make it work, but you will be missing these features’.
