Afaik that's how the corporate apps stuff works, I byod (I really should have a second phone) and the work stuff is totally on its own, uses a different keyboard, opens a different browser uses a different authenticator etc.

First computer I built had a BFG 7600gt with the first upgrade I ever did was a BFG 8800gt

Miss BFG and EVGA for nvidia cards.

The have active electronics in them so that if any non-apple right angle connectors are used it limits them to usb 1.0 speeds and 5v 0.5A power delivery. It's for your safety.

PCPO got a majority with 40% of the votes, with a 43.5% turnout, that's something like 17.4% of all eligible voters. I've seen people say that oh Horwath was uninspiring etc etc, their (the NDP) platform sounded pretty good to me and again, you vote for your local rep in our system, not the party leader (unless you lived in Horwath's riding).

Be real, I don't personally care about how inspiring a politician is, I'd rather they have a good platform and hold people accountable.

Enough people mention it that I've jumped over to helix

I still have my Sony Eriksson W580i, also thought it was the coolest thing.

Still works and holds a charge, pulled photos off of the memory card recently, cameras have gotten a lot better... Had the red one, have had some very brightly colored phones, my favourite being the bright yellow Nokia Lumia 1020

While I definitely recall seeing a bunch, was usually a safe the As/Nz type plugs were available.

Actually thinking back on it (been like a decade now), I recall a lot of them looking like the plug on the left where NA/EU style ungrounded plugs would work in the top one, 3 blade only for grounded equipment.

HDR works out of the box with nvidia in plasma. For some reason I couldn't get it to do that in a fresh arch install so giving it a spin for my desktop machine.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeast_blackout_of_2003

The blackout's proximate cause was a software bug in the alarm system at the control room of FirstEnergy, which rendered operators unaware of the need to redistribute load after overloaded transmission lines drooped into foliage. What should have been a manageable local blackout cascaded into the collapse of much of the Northeast regional electricity distribution system.

Not a plant but another example of something that should have been small causing massive outages. From what I know talking to people who've worked for the province's grid operator, it's a massive job to keep everything going.

Mine live outside in the garage , I built a Corsi-Rosenthal box (box fan with a bunch of filters on it) that stays on out there, and both of mine are in fairly decently sealed enclosures with HEPA+Carbon recirc filters.

Don't go in there when printing unless absolutely necessary, and even then, minimise exposure.

I sold my pledges off 9 years ago, the reason I even made a reddit account in the first place. Was getting disillusioned with it back then and I was super excited when I initially backed it, had a decent amount of ships in the hangar at the time, but felt like I was only ever going to see them in the hangar

Blog post if interested

Was a thing when I took geo in first year, rock test (and the professor) was kinda a legend within engineering.

xFire was great, didn't know the whole yahoo thing

Kinda liked the separate applications for voice and chat, we used ventrilo over teamspeak for reasons I don't recall but all of that is just ancient history at this point (was using that like literally 20 years ago)

I recall ideas about using Advanced CANDU reactors to generate steam for SAGD (steam assisted gravity drainage) a long time ago, found this paper from 2003

What's old is (potentially) new I guess.

How the hell was that even issued? Ianal obviously, my recollection from uni engineering was that Prior Art matters.

Also, given that there's a lot of skilled people in the field these days, you'd think some of these patents could be challenged as being "obvious to a skilled person", bed levelling to me could fit that bill given it's a common issue that would make sense to pursue a solution for. Granted I'm not versed in us patent law (I barely have a basic understanding of Canadian Patent Law), so maybe that's different.

When I do my own, I'll give the dough a long cold ferment (I've done sourdough and preferment versions of a recipe I like, it's pretty simple just adds some olive oil, Flour Water Salt Yeast has a really decent recipe as well) and stretch it thin.

Sweet + savoury is a favourite of mine, one of the best was

• heavy herbed olive oil as the base, light
• caramelised shallots
• goat cheese
• prosciutto
• balsamic vinegar (good stuff preferred, but works with the thinner stuff) Did this with figs too, but you don't need it. As hot as you can go, had good results doing in one of my flatter bottom dutch ovens before.

Yeah I like Hawaiian, but it's way better with peameal bacon or streaky bacon than ham, even better with pickled jalapeños or some other hot pepper

The classic one that my partner and I had when we where dating was

• green olive
• bacon The place is closed down now, but it had a really thin, almost Italian style crust, to me that's a classic pizza.

Don't eat a lot of frozen, it's good to have on hand like frozen dumplings as a quick thing, honestly as much as loblaw's sucks (Canadian grocery chain) their brand (President's Choice) makes some really nice pizzas, or Dr Oetker.

Tend to order takeout from local places over chains

There's a profile I tried on my desktop during update 8 that wasn't terrible on an xbox controller, it's surprisingly playable imo, works well with action groups, probably be way nicer on the deck with something like rotary menus on the trackpads and using the back buttons for modifiers.

I'd give it a try anyhow, just probably going to need some fiddling to get where you want.

I'm replaying through the Metroid Prime Trilogy again, primehack is amazing.
