  • AI, Twatter, Tesla - there's hardly anything else in this community... :(

  • I find it very useful due to its automatic assignment of various labels, categories and etc.

    These assignments mean very little work for me to keep things tidy. Icrn use labels etc for filtering so it is extremely fast to find JUST the documents I want.

    Paired with a small, fast duplex document scanner, it's incredibly convenient. Almost any kind of document I get in, just gets thrown into a scanner, and then into a box - no sorting.

  • BMW isn't heraldry, though? It's a stylized aircraft propeller, because they first made airplane engines. Am I wrong?

  • Could I set that for Docker? I often forget to run docker-compose as sudo and it can't be used without sudo, so it's a bit silly to always have to prepend sudo there. This magical "s" you describe could solve that.

    And, of course, because I want to learn: why is this a really bad idea?

  • This is funny because I work with software for vehicle management, and that software is getting worse every week.

  • It's not about the cost. It's about the privacy.

  • still using the same ones, for years on end? Impressive.

    Disappointing, yes? Well, not sure what you expected an indestructible thing to look like. This thing must be from the 1940s or so.

    The pot itself is made of some non-magnetic metal, and it was probably all black when it was new, but years of gas stove-top use before I was even born must have burned away the color near the base – I have always known it to have this gradient. It holds 1,5L of steaming hot black tea (preferably Lady Grey or Darjeeling) and has an absolutely drip-free spout. It has a stein-like hinged lid with a glass insert that used to be removable until my dad epoxied it on, untold ages ago. The handle is made of bakelite so it never gets hot, not even when used on a gas stove-top.

    The handle is marked with the logo "HØYANG" which sounds Norwegian. If anyone can tell me any details aout that, I would be extremely interested.

    (The mug is another contender for this post, by the way. I've had it from the late 80's.)

  • Metal, with a glass lid and a bakelite handle.

    It's non-magnetic but too light to be aluminium, I don't know what material it is made of.

  • Easy: I have used my Norwegian teapot every day for as long as I can remember - easily 50 years, plus some 15+ years where my dad used it before me, plus another unknown number of years before him, because he picked it up doing his rounds as a garbage man in his student years (1960s). That thing is ancient, and still going strong. Never gonna let it go.

    That teapot must be tied with the Danish dinner tableware inherited from my grandparents. That stuff has also been in use literally daily since the 1950s.

    Talk about built to last, and buy it for life. Amazing.

  • Also, that text is barely English. Who wrote that?

  • AFAIK the Prusa Mini does not have a tension spring, but maybe the extruder wheel is dirty?

  • I'm pretty sure there's at least one Renault Laguna parked down the road.

  • Google for TinkerCad to see an amazingly easy modeling tool. Put shapes together, and set some of the shapes to be a hole (negative shape).

    It's incredibly easy to make useful things.
