Is that the same lane-keeping that Full-Self-Drives into concrete barriers? https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/08/tech/tesla-trial-wrongful-death-walter-huang

Yeah you’re right, I didn’t zoom in. Flowers are entirely different for a start.

Garlic mustard; you ain’t getting any garlic bulbs out of that!

Fills out the understory pretty effectively there.

Edit: I didn’t look at the flowers or leaves or really anything up close and lept to a conclusion. It’s wild garlic as OP pointed out below, just an amount I’m not accustomed to seeing.

I don’t think they can, because they’re suffering so much from the rectal-cranial inversion that Musk started with his FSD.

Muskrat insists on using computer vision entirely, and building it in-house. Tesla (probably EM) as I recall also insulted MobilEye so they refuse to do business with them. Mind you, I think lane keeping is generally a computer vision problem.

It’s absolutely pitiful that they can’t figure out lane-keeping when a cars a fraction of the price have it.

It’s also a huge red flag that they are shipping “self driving” but can’t do lane keep assist.

I’m lucky to get 4 hrs a day of focus time. I know that for others it can be a lot more. However, ADHD hyperfocus is a thing and may be what these Internet people are referring to

The people who say they work 60+hr weeks for long periods of time are inefficient and are lying to themselves.

The key with the shelvador is that there’s no overlap between door shelves and interior shelves. You can stuff the fridge right to the brim and close the door. Too many refrigerators now have an overlap, so you need to reserve space from the fridge to allow the door shelves space. It’s not a matter of placement, just the door shelves are too deep (or interior, depending how you look at it).

I didn’t say “teach the kids to count calories”. I said “teach the kids to understand where the calories come from”. It needs to be a constructive conversation about, like you said, diversifying the food they eat and fuelling their bodies appropriately. Understanding things like when iced coffees have the calories of a cheeseburger.

There’s certainly a lot of psychological factors that go into deciding whether a client can handle calorie counting, but refusing to provide this information as part of a nutrition class enables charlatans to take advantage of ignorance, leading down a path of repeated failure.

I understand your point and I think it’s a difficult subject to navigate with teens. Science-based education is important to offset misinformation.

I think it’s tremendously valuable to understand what macros and calories mean, and where they come from in the diet. There’s a global obesity epidemic and there’s significant incentives for people in the health/fitness/weight management industry to muddy the waters with crash, fad, or various unhealthy diets, “cleanses”, and “supplements”. And that’s before we get to the food product industry of Nestle et al.

I’m not saying this needs to be the only thing they do, but it can shed light on why people say cheetos are unhealthy while potatoes are OK.

Most modern refrigerators. They have tons of features (ice makers, water dispensers, screens) that are unnecessary.

But what gets me really going is the shelving, specifically door shelving. Most manufacturers have moved to clear polycarbonate for the “wall” around the shelf which is specifically not recommended for shock loading. For example, the load that is applied when the door closes and the condiments slide into the retaining piece. To get a fridge with metal means upgrading to a luxury model.

And don’t get me started on the fact that door shelving overlaps with interior shelving. Go look at a 1940s Shelvador and learn how to build a proper appliance.

Frankly, most appliances bother me:

• microwaves have UI issues, but I do like Panasonic’s genius inverter line.
• stoves have too many features and electronics. A true commercial style stoves without gadgets and gewgaws to break is hard to find for home use.
• so many dishwashers simply don’t clean dishes. Modern ones (imho) get too hot
• Most washing machines are way too rough on clothes.
• what the fuck is even with dryers? If people in the UK hang their clothes to dry, you can too (tropical climates may be an exception). Thankfully heat pump dryers are becoming a thing.

1500sqft starts to feel cozy with a bunch of teenagers hanging out.

$5000 probably won’t cover the lost salary from missing work, if adequate recovery time is taken to say nothing of the true developmental needs of the infant. Try 2 years of salary, just to get to a point where daycare can take over for some of the time (and you get to pay that too!).

I get that “we need kids to grow the economy” but also, humans are killing the planet and if our population keeps growing, we’re going to just keep on killing it faster.

Ugh, I resemble this comment. I need to wear more PPE around the house.

That corresponds with the period people quit smoking so the anecdata may be affected (by people on short fuse because of nicotine withdrawals). An increase of women in the workforce may also be a potential factor (either way).

Jellyfin has a pile of security issues regarding unauthenticated enumeration of the media that’s shared. That’s probably not awesome on the public internet. 

I’d suggest setting up Tailscale. https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/5415

Milk-braised veal is a thing; perhaps it is tasty.

Build things, well, until I get tired of it. The ADHD is strong and I hate fine finish work.

Bok choi, Sriracha and a crispy fried egg.

And some MSG if it can take it.

Aside - any broadly available alternatives to Huy Fong? I know they fucked their supplier, and I’ve heard it’s not the same anymore.

I’m no layout expert, but I did do some desktop publishing about 15 years ago 10 min in Scribus had me tearing my hair out. Installed InDesign and, while it’s still not easy to catch up on the modern capabilities, it was worlds ahead.

GIMP is just fine for casuals. It’s not close for professionals.

Truthfully I think that one major issue with open source programs that don’t have corporate involvement is that people who are great at code don’t always have the same skill in UI/UX. However, with support and a larger community, great things can happen. The barrier is getting that adoption level. If more people casually use the product and contribute financially or in code, it will help tremendously.

Lifetime pension for MP after two terms.
