Huh, for being obsessed with winning all the time, chopping the feeders for women’s Olympics and giving up all those gold medals seems like a strange move.

Which lead to this weird situation of the Amish being some of the best solar installers in my area because they’ll run entire metal shops with it. Like, with proper industrial lasers, welder, brake presses, etc.

Maybe I can convince it the camera watching my 3d printer is a Webcam and very slowly print a middle finger?

I’m curious what they do if you tell them that you dont have a camera?

Shoet story on the blueberries is that they are two sprouts I bought last year and planted in my yard. They don’t appear to have grown much, but also are still mostly green. Best guess is that we dont really have the right soil for them, it was grain farmland about 40 years ago.

I’m nearly done with my little fence around my garden beds. Just in time for stuff to start sprouting too. Hopefully it’s enough to keep the groundhog from eating everything this year.

Raspberries look like they are doing well, new strawberry plants seem to be mostly established, the plum tree sprout is big enough to be noticeable this year, and the blueberries … well, I don’t think they’re dead yet…

Y’all are replacing light bulbs?

I downloaded it, just trying to figure out how to get it going on Android at this point. The website was easier to read than my current default at least.

Do you know of any fonts that would make that one dude’s replies with the thorn character actually legible? My glaucoma makes it a bitch to decipher so I tend to not even bother reading those replies.

I’d potentially be down for that, depending on how shareholders who operate entirely through retirement funds are hit. Like, I don’t actually know what stocks my retirement account has. Just the fund that I have my retirement in. The closest I can get is to see the mix (small cap, large cap, bonds, etc.). Would the people deciding the mix get hit? Would I get a fine for something I didn’t even know I technically owned?

Maybe limit the fine to the vote eligible shareholders and the board of directors, but add a 0 or three to the end of the numbers you were thinking.

So how do I get through one of these without a working camera?

I thought it sounded like some sort of Ska fusion band name.

I don’t expect troubleshooting, but it’s not isolated to just my company, my home computer did it too, not nearly as often, and it’s been a while since it’s happened there (probably since I only leave file explorer open for 30 seconds at a time).

And even if it’s not technically part of the OS, will Windows even be in a useable state without it? Most things I see call it a “Core part of the OS,” although those are also specific to Windows 10 so if 11 changed it, that’s news to me. I dont see a difference. To most people (myself included), explorer.exe crashing and restarting looks just like Windows shitting itself, and since it’s packaged with every Windows install, that perception really is hard to argue against despite what some technicality of it being an executable says.

Nope, it happens with literally just a couple explorer windows, outlook, and teams open. The CAD box comment was just to make clear that it is not on underpowered hardware by any means. And I’ve managed to trigger it with nothing but explorer windows open.

When fucking File Explorer freezes a CAD machine for several minutes at a time resulting in explorer.exe crashing and restarting multiple times a day I’d say it’s not as stable as I got used to. Several of us at the place I work at have been dealing with this, although it has been getting better, it never should have happened in the first place.

I think I can do one better. I have a contact that changed their phone number so I deleted the old one from my contact list. SOMEHOW MY PHONE STILL TRIES TO FUCKING DEFAULT TO THE DELETED NUMBER‽‽‽

For reference, that means the 486 has maybe as many transistors as the board that runs my 11-year-old 3D printer firmware, and that was considered something between the “absolute bare minimum” and “honestly kinda underpowered” at the time I bought it. The only thing that board does is run some loops that send basic signals to some stepper motor drivers, and some basic-ass “bang-bang” style heat control. The actual heavy lifting of organizing and sending the position controls line by line is done by a Raspberry Pi.

Well who lives in that castle over there?

God that thing needs some help based on the last time I tried to use it. I’d love for it to be a viable replacement for Fusion 360, but right now I can’t use it effectively enough to be able to get a basic design through to even identify issues.

The Gandhi strat.
