I’m new here, and I’ve been calling it “go-dot”. What’s the correct pronunciation?

Solar, wind, and nuclear energy: are we a joke to you?

I just checked out fWallet and it doesn’t support importing random PDFs so that’s a huge downside to me since a lot of events I attend only send a PDF with barcodes/QR codes.

Awesome, thanks!

Where does something like “use a DC motor to build a tiny little fan” stand, in terms of safety?

Thanks, fire safety concerns have definitely played a major role in why I haven’t actually started building stuff. I’ll keep this in mind.

What you said makes sense. To provide context for why I am/was looking for the exact opposite –

I have a long string of failed hobbies and junk accumulated from all the stuff I’ve bought for them. I carry a ton of guilt because of this.

I guess I’m too hesitant to buy parts and have them lying around if I don’t end up using them all if I abandon this too. That’s the reason why I was hoping to buy a fixed set of parts for specific projects so that way I can at least convince myself that I used it all at least once.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks for the helpful links. :)

And whatever you do, don’t watch the sequel. It’s quality is the exact opposite of the first movie.

I said “Oooooh right” before you. What now, buddy?

Oooooh right

Do you want them to raise the age of retirement? Because they’ll make you work till you’re a thousand before they all quit en masse.

We already have contracts in place to get security patches. That’s usually the InfoSec team’s problem anyway.

As a developer, my life gets hard due to library support. We manage internal forks of multiple open source projects just to make them python 2 compatible. A non-trivial amount of time is wasted on this, and we don’t even have it available for public use. 🤷‍♂️

What about contamination in disaster sites like Chernobyl or Fukushima? Is that also mainly radioactive substances that we’re spread around the area by air/water making the whole place dangerous to live or are other previously-non-radioactive objects radioactive now?

My company makes it super easy for me - we’re just going to continue on python 2.7 and add this to the long list of reasons why we’re not upgrading.

Please send help.

“I shouldn’t give them money because drugs”

I have a roof over my head, eat thrice a day, and have a loving family. Yet there are days when I want to drown myself in alcohol or weed. Who am I to judge a homeless person if they choose to do drugs and forget their suffering for a little while?

I always give money, if anything, to the few of them in my neighborhood. Whether it’s food , clothes, drugs or something else - they know what they need better than I know it.

The new ones can do what you want too though. Just press the “clean” button on the roomba twice. Or the “clean everywhere” option in the app, if you’ve set it up.

In both cases, it goes wherever it can and returns to the starting point.
