I actually keep a list of works that I’ve shared online that would’ve likely been lost without my intervention. Physical-only Bandcamp releases that I’ve ripped and shared. Sample packs that have been taken down from webstores, etc. The Internet isn’t forever people. Better archive what you can
Keep a set of swimwear in your car. If you go to a place and forgot your swimsuit? Got the backup. Go to a hotel and find out they had a pool you didn’t know about? Backup in the car. Accidentally shit yourself? Got at least something on you. Do I shit myself enough to worry about it? Not since I was a baby but now I know I got swim trunks in my car just in case.
This works for so many occasions too. At a watermelon eating contest? Backup in the car. Going to a funeral? Backup in the car. Need to bury a body? Backup clothing, right there.
Not recommended for lycra or spandex suits, or any suit that has elastic closures, particularly during the summer months. They will rapidly degrade in the heat of the car. My wife left hers in the car after a vacation (never used it). It was tucked in the trunk. Found it a month later and it disintegrated in the wash.
Guy tries to overthrow the country, and people are worried that someone tried to kill him. What is wrong with this world. If people aren’t trying to kill him we have something to worried about.
The justice system failed to arrest and detain the suspect and keep him imprisoned until charged properly. This isn’t a failure of the people, it is a failure of the government.
I’m sure he will spin it into some grand conspiracy with very little evidence behind it. But his lunatic supporters don’t really need evidence of conspiracies so I’m not sure it’ll change anything very much.
Now if the bullet had hit him that would be a very different thing.
The oral cavity has the second largest and diverse microbiota after the gut harboring over 700 species of bacteria. It nurtures numerous microorganisms which include bacteria, fungi, viruses and protozoa. The mouth with its various niches is an exceptionally complex habitat where microbes colonize the hard surfaces of the teeth and the soft tissues of the oral mucosa. In addition to being the initiation point of digestion, the oral microbiome is crucial in maintaining oral as well as systemic health. Because of the ease of sample collection, it has become the most well-studied microbiome till date.
Oral cavity is one of the most well-studied microbiomes till date with a total of 392 taxa that have at least one reference genome and the total genomes across the oral cavity approaching 1500.[21]
Approximately 700 species of prokaryotes have been identified in it. These species belong to 185 genera and 12 phyla, of which approximately 54% are officially named, 14% are unnamed (but cultivated) and 32% are known only as uncultivated phylotypes.[9] The 12 phlya are Firmicutes, Fusobacteria, Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Chlamydiae, Chloroflexi, Spirochaetes, SR1, Synergistetes, Saccharibacteria (TM7) and Gracilibacteria (GN02).[22] At the genus level, there is a conserved oral microbial community in healthy mouths. Diversity in the microbiome is individual specific and site specific, despite the similarities. The tongue has numerous papillae with few anaerobic sites and hence harbors a diverse microflora which also includes anaerobes. The areas with low microbial diversity are the buccal and palatal mucosae.[
Is it just because people who like Musk are more likely to fall for scams?
Bingo.
If someone is still a fan of Elon in 2024, they’ve self selected themselves as one of the most gullible, easily-scammed people on the planet. Saves scammers a lot of time to target this demographic.
Musk’s only talent, which I hate to admit he’s a master of, is manipulating interest in his schemes. It’s because the greedy and selfish assume that obscenely rich individuals are smarter than the rest of us, and can be trusted to make them wealthier. And he knows that.
At least Jobs delivered on most of his hyperbole. Musk is halfway between Jobs, who was competent, and Elizabeth Holmes (aka, Stephanie Wannabe Jobs,) who could not deliver. Musk was smart enough to buy Existing Productive Entities, and then manipulate perception to make himself look like Tony Stark.
It is probably an old case design. In the early water cooling days, there would be separate watercooling units that sat outside the case. The grommets were so you could pass your tubing through.
I wouldn’t really worry about the dust tbh, you will wind up having to clean it regardless.
Specifically, these are for being able to pass in the tubing when your computer overheats playing Counter-Strike 1.5 so you pull apart your 50cc moped so you can bolt the moped radiator to the side of the case since it doesn’t fit inside. At least that’s the only use I’ve actually seen in practice.
Mine has an 3 position exrernal fan switch for manual control, cable comes out those holes. Also useful for direct header usb that you run an extender cable out to another device.
While that is an option for anyone, its not something I wanted. Mine is cube with 200mm fan. The lowest setting is fine for the thermals, but if I’m video processing I will toggle to high, but for voice over or a phone call comes in I drop it down low. The random up and down of the fan if left to its own device creates a noise I don’t want to deal with.
Such as sata cables for quickly hot plugging hard drives you are testing/inspecting/cataloguing and don’t want to open the whole case between each drive, or leave the case open.
There were some old PCI cards that were very badly designed, and they required things plugged into them from inside the case, or they needed to plug into things on the motherboard. I had card that controlled Cold cathode tube lighting that could also connect to audio to sync to the music that worked that way
But, the actual answer is that the grommets are for old-school water-cooling.
Anything that doesn’t have an external connector or some way to mount one. One example would be if you were using a USB Wi-Fi radio and wanted to connect it to the internal USB connectors but you’d need to pass the antenna to the outside of the case.
Hell, when we run out of the 24 pack bottled water, we throw them a 32 count and call it a day… Some people/companies are so rigid, they lose sight of customer first. Not saying they should bend over backwards, but consider the lost sales by not even attempting to make it right.
‘Sir, my apologises that I didn’t realise in time that you were Cognitively Impaired. How about we replace your order with our exclusive package-free version that we have prepared for special guests like yourself?’
Now you’ve gotten your inventory counts off. There’s also a (marginal) cost difference between the two size cartons. Of course, this needs to be balanced against customer satisfaction- there will be a non-zero number of customers who won’t want the upsell or to buy an alternative item, and so the question is how much business would you lose vs how much money you’d make offset with the extra time and corporate headache of reconciling inventory?
Not that Sonic shouldn’t do this, just throwing out some real-world considerations.
I often feel like that too, but there were things like haggis and sausage before them. It’s good to remember that turning inedible mush into something appealing actually has a long and noble history.
I have used Jan Kruegers guide along with Sqouzen and Open Cola to find the correct ratios needed. Jan’s recipe was chosen because its sugar free and skips the step with making sugar syrup, and you end up with 257ml syrup that gives 45l cola.
I’m on the fourth 1/4 scale batch, and weigh everything because its more precise than measuring volume, and that have helped me dial in the correct amounts.
I found that it’s fun it is to tinker with all the ratios in a spreadsheet, while dialing in the recipe to my taste.
Even Coke got rid of the kola nut, so the caffeine is purely optional at this point. Other than the caffeine, all it offered was a bitter flavor that needed to be offset by sugar and acid.
Edit: though caffeine itself is also bitter so you can’t just completely remove it without either significantly modifying the recipe or adding a bitter replacement
It’s fine, since we’re also stored in countless private databases for advertisement purposes, and statistically speaking at least one of those is so insecure, that it’s practically public knowledge anyway.
These days not only would it open your CD drive, it would open your tax documents, your crypto wallet, your account cookies, probably even your banking information.
Put the rose tinted glasses to one side. We still had harmful viruses back in the day, difference is these days you are storing more private information “online” so the effect of compromise is larger.
Yeah I haven’t had harmful application on my computer in over a decade. I feel like you really have to go out of your way to get one these days (not including spyware that you download intentionally, like Windows 11).
There’s even extreme edgecases where a compromised machine being part of a botnet actually improves security because the malware shores up security to help itself remain persistent and not find itself removed/blocked by other malware or attackers
I switched to Linux 27 years ago. My wife asks me to help her with her Windows computer every now and then, and I can’t really do it for more than a few minutes before my blood pressure is in the risk zone.
I switched 4 years ago and I experience the same. But to be fair, I also use an atypical setup designed for efficiency, so basically the opposite of windows in every aspect.
similar here. im still ‘new’ to linux but have to use windows for my apprentice. also my father uses windows. so often i have to click a button multiple times, ads, or window not responding, ads, sometimes its slow af. did I already mention ads?

Maybe you should use something faster than a potato as a computer. 😂
did I already mention ads?
If you’re capable of installing Linux and getting a productive desktop experience with it I’m sure as shit you are also capable of disabling a few toggles under Windows.
Potatoes are free hardware though? You can grow them yourself, study the source code, make changes to it and release it for others to use. Pretty sure you can’t do that with most modern computers
my laptop is pretty good, its just windows using much resources. yeah i’d be able to but i only use it like 3h per week for one buggy app. its not worth it
I highly doubt it. Not saying that Windows is good, but my i7 8th gen with 16GB of RAM boots Windows 10 Enterprise (with the usual crap disabled) into the desktop faster than the time it takes to post. Info here and here. Frankly Debian with GNOME doesn’t boot much faster than Windows on that laptop.
my laptop probably has very similar specs to your laptop. also, windows just uses more computing resources than linux in general.
i dont care about if its few seconds faster at booting or has few percents more resources availabe after hours of configuring.
all i need for my apprenticeship is just a windows laptop to work with office365 and a few specific apps, which dont need full resources. but it has to be windows because of domain policy from ADDS.
my apprentice will end in a few weeks and since i wont need these apps anymore tomorrow in a week, ill delete the windows partitions from my laptop.
id appreciate you helping me and others with articles how to get a bit faster windows system, if id asked for it, but i didnt.
Because checkout isn’t until 11. It takes time to prep a room between guests. Depending on occupancy and staffing levels you may be able to get in earlier.
It would be a much smaller business model. My guess is that there have already been multiple market analyses of what you’re talking about and the determination is most likely that the majority of hotel arrivals occur later on in the day.
This isn’t to say a good amount of arrivals dont occur much earlier in the day, just not enough to justify the cost.
Additionally, to flip that would have hotel staff be cleaning rooms at a much earlier time (midnight to 4am), meaning they would have to arrive at midnight to start their shift. At 4am, the cleaning staff management would then need to spend a minimum of 1 hour to inspect each room to ensure it met company and legal standards. This is all ignoring the various tasks this can incur on the other staff like concierges.
I used to work as a Front Desk Agent, and later on a Night Auditor, in a small, but upscale, hotel. The housekeeping staff were some of the hardest working people I’ve ever met, and yet they were the least appreciated. Those hours in between check-out and check-in was always a hussle. I was always thankful I worked front desk whenever I saw them and would do them small favors if they ever asked (though honestly more often than not it was the other way around and I was asking them for some small request on behalf of the guest).
If we had the rooms available for an early check in, then we did it, but if not the best we could do was offer them to check their luggage in at the front desk and they were on their own until check in. The occurrence of this wasn’t negligible, but given everything I witnessed, I determined, at least for our hotel, it wouldn’t have been monetarily feasible to adjust that check-out check-in window to accommodate them. It simply didn’t happen often enough to justify it.
I guess I’m surprised because I’ve never been at a hotel that didn’t have a lobby open 24/7. Sure you can’t check in, but I’m surprised you couldn’t plop down in a seat in the lobby and read or browse on your phone until you could check in.
This feels most like Breaking Bad where Walt’s actions cascade to two planes crashing over his house and the debris landing in his pool. Which I think we can all agree is generally not a poorly written show.
I was just picturing some scene with a lawyer sitting up at night at his home, going “How in the world am I going to prove my case against Boeing! I’ve got nothing and the trial is TOMORROW!” Just then, a Boeing emergency slide crashes into his window.
