On the other side of this, you have company’s that are in tangential fields looking to grab up a piece of that pie. Electricians, low voltage companies, fucking furniture companies (oh, we totally do audiovisual, that’s similar enough), the C-suite is trying to force their way into this new golden goose and expecting their staff to be able to handle this without training, time, or real hands on experience. And, no, a 2 day workshop from a manufacturer isn’t really “training”, at least not the only training needed…

I tried to get a job at LCBO, but apparently “taste tester” isn’t an actual job there, but they were incredibly apologetic that it didn’t exist, and said they would call me if anything changed.

I can sing all the lyrics to Dicke Titten. Does that count?

So if I turn the car battery upside down, a 12v DC battery should run a 120v AC appliance?? Brilliant! I have an idea for how we can use this with two fans to create infinite energy!

Omg this is amazing.

Not only is this awesome, but their list of books stores to support has expanded my bookstore list by like 20 places…

You should be very VERY vocal about how your account, insensitive name, was asked to own part of Reddit and how willing you are to do that, in order to make sure that the world knows that reddit is owned in part by insensitive name…

Also a dishrag that belongs in a kitchen: 28th Virginia Battle Flag

In the past, rainbow flags were used as a sign to students that you as a teacher were available for anyone to come talk if they needed support, and that your classroom was a safe space. This was especially important for some of the most stigmatized and marginalized groups in the US.

So there is a bit of history behind it.

This may only be anecdotal, and I can’t quote statistics on how effective or important pride flags are to that type of support now, but a close friend of mine who came out in high school first came out to a trusted teacher. They ONLY did this because the pride flag to them meant someone who might understand. It was a year or so later when this person came out to our friend group, and only because of the guidance of that individual who help them through some serious shit, and got them the support infrastructure they needed.

Do you know what BSOD is?

And then donate to the devs directly?

It isn’t. It would most likely be windows IoT. it’s an embedded windows OS that allows for a single app instance to be running.

You’d be surprised how many things run windows IoT right now…

It would first have to pass the “dangerous and unusual weapons” test before even getting to the bearable test… At least according to ScaliaLaw.

I mean… Most of the places near me a burger with a sides is typically like $13 - $16 and I am definitely in the Midwest…

I mean… It’s a lot of metal… And it’s strong enough to survive the job site for a decade.

As someone who frequents construction sites for my job, and also as someone who has owned a Stanley travel mug and water bottle before whatever the fuck this fad is ( over 10 years… ), they are nigh indestructible, and they keep temperature for longer than either my wife’s Hydro flask or my yeti. So far in that sams period only my, Yeti coffee mug has survived as long. My wife has replaced her hyroflasj twice.

Just anecdotal, but I tend to be hard on things, and it’s stayed with me this long… It’s like $4/year for a coffee mug.

Because now manufacturers are tying the last year of their warranty to having the devices connected to their stupid information harvesting apps.

My conservative mother in Minnesota keeps talking about “our southern border”, and I silently am laughing about how it sounds like she is arguing about Iowans crossing illegally into Minnesota…

Point being, the rage baiting works around the entire country for xenophobic conservatives.

Correct. Trump hasn’t been found guilty of sedition. He has been found guilty of insurrection by the Colorado supreme Court. He also hasn’t been criminally convicted of insurrection, because this isn’t a criminal case.

Sedition and insurrection are different, and parts of different laws. Criminal and civil guilt are also different mechanisms of our laws, but the 14th amendment doesn’t state someone needs to have a criminal conviction to be considered ineligible for office.

Don’t you dare say that. Then Wisconsin will start feeling like they have to become the Alabama of the Midwest and everything will go to hell.

What? There have been hundreds of experiments confirming many different hypotheses of quantum physics…

The photoelectric effect you have seen nearly every day (have you every used a modern camera with auto-iris? What about solar power?)

The double-slit experiment proves that subatomic particles can act as both a particle and a wave, which is pretty instrumental in further theories of QM.

Freedman-Clause verified quantum entagnlement.

Usage of Nuclear energy for both bombs and generating electrical power…

Superconductors and Cooper-pairs.

Even the other poster joking about the Copenhagen interpretation - Copenhagen lead to discoveries in Qubit measurement (read up on Quantum State Tomography).

Quantum physics isn’t one single, independent theory… And it keeps evolving as our understanding changes.
