City water usually tastes of chlorine. Totally drinkable, but not super pleasant.

Costco 24 packs are cheap AF.

Filtered water pitchers are expensive AF.

If you have a fridge with filtered water and try to buy carbon filters locally, they’re more expensive per gallon than the Costco water.

I buy generic filters in bulk that are cheaper per gallon, but it’s not by that much.

If we want to save the environment, we need to invent a super cheap refillable carbon filter and a way to use it easily.

This is the conclusion of a study on adoption practices from 1973 to 2002, published on Friday.

Children from India were systematically adopted without the consent of their parents, Rita Kesselring, head of the research project, told Swiss public radio, SRF.

Just some detail for what this is about

Canonical historically makes bad decisions. Ubuntu any most points in time is simply great. Their LTS is fab. But they’re hungry. And they screw with us over time. the latest Debian just erased most of the reason to go with Ubuntu adding nonfree, and they haven’t screwed us over.

I did. It’s a bit clickbaity.

Yes Glock is a super popular gun.

Yes it’s possible to make them full auto.

Then the throw in some weaseling : turning up increasingly, police think it was used this one time, this anti-gun commission says. Spraying bullets.

Glock has a reputation for quality, they’re cheap and reliable, not having a safety adds nuance of danger for those idolizing them.

I’m sure there are some people using full auto Glocks, but they’re extremely rare. It’s not this new impending threat. They could have easily done the article detailing the full auto device or given real numbers of use. They’re in it for the clicks.

They’re just going out for smokes, they’ll brb

It would seem the republicans send us congress people, they’re not sending us their best

Well thats good to hear

Securing the substation itself is easy you just build a cinder block wall around it put a roof on it and then alarm it. You put up cameras in hire ADT to look after it

The problem is once you do that they can then go after transmission lines.

These people need to be infiltrated and run in as terrorists.

Wayland is ready, ‘nobody’ else is ready to use Wayland. And by nobody, I mean any software packages that are doing anything at all out of the ordinary. Text expanders are a hot mess, remote control apps or dodgy, OBS screen capture is dodgy. We’re still playing catch up, support for Wayland in applications is honestly quite lacking.

I don’t think there’s any solid argument that precludes people from doing maintenance on their own car. There’s always some form of inspection or monitoring that can be done. Brakes in particular are perfectly reasonable. I particularly miss ease of maintaining drum brakes. They were literally designed to be maintained by the end user, you pull the wheel, The drum slides right off and the parts are readily available. If you want to get fancy you could buy a tool to help you remove the spring.

Things should be designed to be maintained by the end user and the end user could choose to go to a mechanic if they wanted to.

Honestly what we’re running up against at this point with car maintenance is design to cost. Every part that is maintainable on a car could be designed to be easily maintainable for a cost. Rather than the manufacturer paying that cost, there making us pay the cost at the mechanic. You can literally buy repair parts that are easy and convenient to work with that are improvements over OEM.

In the case we’re talking about for this article it’s literally a wire on a lithium ion battery pack in a wrist mounted device that failed that they’re refusing to replace.

And it’s not like he’s going to fall out of the sky and land in somebody’s backyard.

And if you were asked to leave in the US because of a facial disfigurement you could fully expect to have a business closing lawsuit won against you in no time at all. Wa are as litigious AF for better or worse, usually worse.

The argument that because some people can’t, or won’t do a good job, no one should isn’t a very good one. Under that same logic you could exclude wiper blades.

You end up like New Jersey where you can’t pump your own gas. There are already guidelines and fixes for this wrapped around repairing your home power. You’re not allowed to architect major changes without the sign off of somebody who is a registered professional but you’re absolutely allowed to fix things that are already there.

For more people die from not fixing their brakes, because it’s difficult and expensive than ones who fix their brakes incorrectly.

Could you imagine those ledgers trying to process when everyone in existence tries to insert hundreds to thousands of unique licenses. Then having to continuously access records on every media use after that.

How many unique copies of media are there out there. Hundreds of billions, trillions. I don’t think we have anything adequately designed at this point that could handle that kind of load.

We own a few TVs but nobody actually watches them. If we’re all out in the living room there’s four phones out with four people watching four different things.

And Amazon sidewalk.

Given there are only two major institutions that are capable of winning under the current rules, one of the two institutions figured out it’s advantageous not to have highly educated constituents.

Over the period of about two generations they’ve managed to rig it so that only the upper class can manage to get a fair education. So the poor malleable people will vote for whoever they’re told to vote for, and the ultra-rich will vote for the side that is most advantageous to them.

In a time where we should be trying to get as much education into every living being that we can, degenerates are using a lack of education as a wedge to stay in power.

I’d say don’t preach to me, but hell with that preach to everybody.

Comskip has a pretty wide array of detection. They also look at percent scene change,volume , closed captioning, aspect ratios and duration patterns. The sweet part about the duration patterns is we know the contents supposed length. You could analyze the piece of media figure out how long it would be without it and look around for other options that are less obvious but make the right time code.

I’ve been using comskip for years, I suspect if it ends up being the tool we need will have an arsenal of people working on it to tune it for whatever YouTube’s doing.

They’re just looking to knock out the easy methods, they’re not going to try to wage a full-on ground war. Their primary goals are probably to stop ublock and brave, and keep YT-DLP from downloading without ads. secondary goals being to stop or slow down revanced, though I think Google’s going to try to do that for them in security.

I think the next logical step if they can’t block us with reasonable means would be to do some custom encryption in the app. Again not insurmountable but hard to crack out right.

I think using a server to download the whole steam with ads then remove the ads, compress and store the files is really the hardest thing for them to stop.
