Nah, REAL MEN dip their balls in a boiling hot solution of concentrated sulfuric acid and 30% hydrogen peroxide. So cleansing.

What a coincidence, I just watched the Scrubs episode with the Dr Toilet running gag.

If you find yourself unplugging things a lot to turn them off, you may be interested to hear the switch was invented not long after the light bulb for exactly this reason.

1. As if that’s the only reason you’d ever unplug something.
2. Vampire loads. Turns out, most things don’t completely turn off anymore. Yes, it adds up.

So do we. But we don’t need as many of them, usually just for areas with a lot of electronics like entertainment centers or computer desks.

US electric code requires an outlet like every 6-8 feet (~2m) along a wall so you shouldn’t need to string extension cords everywhere. For the most part, it works pretty well. I have 5 outlets alone in my 12x12ft (~3.6x3.6m) bedroom.

It does not. Some devices may have that on their plugs, but it’s certainly not standard.

One night when I was 14, I tried to plug in my phone charger beside my bed in the dark and was accidentally touching one of the pins when it made contact.

Fortunately, I wasn’t completing the circuit and I was electrically isolated laying on my bed, so I didn’t actually get shocked. But I did feel a buzz in my finger like you get from those prank toys that shock the victim. That’s a sensation I will never forget.

Not defending our plugs at all.

Regardless of where you are, can we all agree that no one’s really perfected the electrical outlet yet?

NA plugs make contact without being fully seated, and can leave their live and neutral pins exposed. Worn outlets just let plugs fall out of them (I have 3 or so outlets in my apartment that are borderline unusable because of this).

British plugs are bulky and turn into caltrops when dropped on the floor.

European plugs have the same problem. And you only get like, one outlet per receptacle? Guess you’re shit out of luck if you wanna plug anything else in the same spot.

Most of the rest of the world just copied Europe or the UK.

I like Denmark’s plug though. Cute lil smiley face.

Also just makes the zipper easier to operate in general.

Why wait for an app? Just start posting personals ads in the comments under memes you like.

This is the same article that was posted yesterday with the title “Kill DNS”

Just listened to that one. Also great.

If anyone is a punk rock fan, Dropkick Murphys put out an album based on unused Woody Guthrie lyrics.

It’s called This Machine Still Kills Fascists.

The review I linked quotes 5-8W under load so I’d expect it to be about 10 hours on the Framework 13’s 55Wh battery and about ~15h on the Framework 16’s 85Wh battery.

But it also can’t play a 1080p YouTube video worth a damn so it’s hard to imagine what you’d actually wanna use it that long for.

It is absolutely more of a development board than one meant even for early-bird adopters. The processing power is more on-par with a Raspberry Pi. Here’s a review of another development board using the same processor: https://bret.dk/risc-v-starfive-visionfive-2-review-jh7110/#Geekbench-6

Compare the Geekbench 6 scores to the Ryzen 7040HS in the Framework 16: https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/4260192

As the review author explains, Geekbench 6 is a bit unfair to the JH7110 since it’s missing some processor extensions, but even if we pretended it had a similar lead over the Pi 4 as it does on the Unixbench suite, it’d still be an order of magnitude behind the AMD processor.

You’re not really gonna be gaming on this thing, and you might not have a great experience even with normal desktop productivity software. These boards are likely gonna be relegated mostly to compiling code and running tests.

If a future revision is a little more powerful though, it could maybe make for a decent netbook. At just $200 it could also be a pretty good value for the education sector, maybe as a dev board for systems programming courses.

I’ve been boycotting Facebook since before it was cool.

This is a neat trick but it works best on Linux and maybe macOS.

Implementing it on Windows requires some luck as you can’t just map adjacent pages, you have to just request two of them and hope the OS gives you two contiguous ones. For example, see this abandoned Rust crate: https://github.com/gnzlbg/slice_deque/blob/045fb28701d3b674b5da413266ca84b3e5a70190/src/mirrored/winapi.rs#L57

This decade it’s AI, last decade it was outsourcing to the third world. The assault on skilled workers never stops.

Managers who try to replace engineers with AI are probably shitty bosses to work for anyway, because they don’t have a single fucking clue about what the job actually entails.

The only thing those employees lost was their income. I’d move on and never look back.

Fish is a great shell, but whenever I SSH into another machine I end up having to do everything in Bash anyway. So the fact that Fish is so different often ends up being a detriment, because it means I have to remember how to do things in two different shells. It was easier to just standardize on Bash.

I might try daily driving it again when this release hits the stable repos, I dunno.
