Got a good tutorial or hardware rec for me? I’ve been meaning to pihole for a while…

Man buckwheat? That’s a hot take indeed, big upvote from me

$570 for my share of a crappy house in the middle of nowhere

Now I pay… Oh god, a lot. Quadruple that. But I live in a really nice city an ocean away

Edit: oops now that I have had coffee I’ll compare the same spot.

Looks like it’d be pretty similar, maybe $650 pp for a comparable one.

Man that area was cheap

Echo the other commenter, wow this dude can write.

It’s sad, I noticed this too. I excitedly clicked a Hank Green video about energy and water usage on datacenters and was SUPER disappointed in it. I’ve worked in energy generation as an engineer for a while, and some of the takes in that video were so obviously big tech’s doomerism rhetoric

+1, this sounds like a medical issue and not at all typical aging

Automation engineer here who does a lot of SCADA

There are soooo many good ways to securely monitor stuff from home. But especially in critical infrastructure it’s just usually air gapped which is unbeatable in cyber security.

Tours of any local facility are super cool! I find it all so interesting, seeing how the things we use work!

I mean microslop is pretty dang good

I figured it was a cleanable bucket conveyor, so it’s getting continuously cleaned. That’s how you do it with some processes, like conveyors for bottling liquids

Glad you appreciate! It is neither good nor high effort, but it’s a real drawing made with a real pencil

Hence the input and output being on the opposite sides? But yeah it definitely wouldn’t be perfect. But it doesn’t need to be perfect?

Ooooo wave ball pool sounds sick

I think instead I’d design it to clean a single ball at a time, continuously. Smaller footprint and less infrastructure involved. Dunno how many hours it’d take to turn around a lot of the ball pit but anything is better than nothing?

Man i love the Mistborn universe by Brandon Sanderson. It’s such cool fantasy that’s not just a carbon copy of Tolkien (a trap a lot of it falls into, I feel?)

I’m in a bit of a meme latte art contest with my friend’s 13 year old kid. My latest creation

It was singular on purpose

His friend calls him Clammy Sam

Tomorrow night: 5 hour rabbit hole on a topic you didn’t know existed 10 minutes before you started

Presumably 40% less non-coke inclusion. So if before it was 90% coke and 10% cut, it’d be 94/6

Through the mountain!

I’m gonna guess you’re not up to speed on US viruses, linked to Taylor Farms lettuce.
