  • Personally, I was hired on the recommendation of friends, and more lately had a manager who looked past it and saw my experience.

    I’ve also heard about some horror stories out of Asia that look at high school grades never mind the degree. Wouldn’t want to work for that kind of company myself.

  • It’s not critical, but it keeps things clean, keeps salt/snow off in winter, and contributes to fuel economy and ride quality.

    Stretching an oil change is a bigger concern, especially if the oil change interval is a long one. Learn to do it yourself, it’s really simple and depending on the car you may be able to do it without ramps or a jack if you’re creative in parking eg over a dip or one wheel (securely) on a curb. Ensure you don’t spill oil into a drain.

  • HBC has a dark history but in modern form, it could have also provided important competition to Amazon. Apologies are in order nonetheless.

    Aside: it’s amazing how HBC, Sears, etc. had successful mail-order/catalog businesses before Amazon came along and built a mail-order system on the internet - and completely threw away their lead.

    The PE firm should be required to liquidate assets in order to pay the severance owed to the employees. It is a moral failure of the government and society to allow them to get away without paying.

  • I use a lot of fossil fuels and t think they’re going to last longer than some government goals suggest, but I’m not certain that any new pipelines make sense, anywhere in the world. Fix up and maintain the existing ones until they can be mothballed. Maybe there’s an argument to be made that exiting fossil fuels leaves market for other countries, or something, but investing heavily in a technology that we know for certain is hurting humanity’s chances of survival doesn’t seem bright.

  • I still haven’t figured out how to make a firewall rule with slaac on pfsense, with an ISP that hands out addresses at random. It’s my understanding’s slaac is the “right” way to do things, not dhcp and reservations.

    Granted, it’s been a minute since I tried so I don’t remember the issues, but as I recall, when ipv6 prefix changes, device gets new IP (and it seems not just the prefix part. I can get the firewall to register IPs into DNS and use a dns based firewall rule, but unbound restarts and blows out its cache when a device joins the network. And there another part to it but it’s all gone fuzzy.

  • The US was in possession of the data but likely wanted the scientists to provide context in the same way they wanted the experience of the nazi rocket scientists. But lifetime immunity and a cover up is a horrible way to deal with the problem.

  • If it needs to be tight, Robertson or Torx is the only way. The benefit of Robertson over Torx is that it is pretty much immediately clear if the bit fits properly or not. I have stripped too many Torx that were in a place that required a human with an extra elbow and a second wrist to reach, that I thought were t20 but were t25, for example. I keep thinking I’ve learned my lesson.

    I keep meaning to buy sets of Phillips, Pozi, and JIS, but never manage to time a stripped screw with a tool sale.

    The only thing worse than + is -, and even that is situational.

  • The US government made several deals with some inhuman characters after the war. Yes, the science was (potentially) valuable, because there is no way that a moral human would perform the experiments, but granting immunity may have been too much. It’s past time that these people are recognized for what they are.

  • There are ducted mini split systems that may be useful to you.

    Pushing (or pulling) air from an existing duct system is not a great path forward, as balancing the flow is challenging and critical. For example, if you could plumb the mini split into your circulator, what happens if they’re both on at the same time? The mini split could frost over. And if the circulator isn’t on, you could be back-flowing the air intake of the circulator.

  • If you’ve moved or renamed files, it will break the seed; as far as the client is concerned, the file no longer exists. If the seeding app hasn’t noticed, it hasn’t done a check of the files and/or hasn’t tried seeding them. The other thing to try is to point it one level up or down from where you “think” the data is.

  • Port and starboard are easy enough in a powerboat (of the type I am familiar with). Tie up port side, sit on starboard (steer board) side to steer.

    But what is most fun is remembering what direction in a channel one is travelling in an area where the channels merge.
