AccuWeather just uses the NWS data. They'd be lost without it.

Melt some PET water/soda bottles (e.g. with a heat gun) so the plastic drips on to the bottom side and scratch out a huge ass warning into it with a hobby knife (or any knife, really... It's just PET). Also write another warning with a sharpie in multiple locations.

Why this method? Because that plastic will stick pretty good to the bottom of a cast iron pan—making anyone thinking of using it think twice, "How TF am I going to get that off without making a gross burning plastic stink?" Or a fool will try and quickly get annoyed that it won't sit flat on their stovetop and it'll be too far away from an induction heater to work. Make the plastic nice and uneven 👍

Also, if you're just hanging it up on the wall no one will see the bottom so it won't uglify your pretty hanging pan.

Melting a water bottle with a heat gun happens pretty fast and the iron pan will absorb the heat in the plastic quickly too. So the whole process will take less than a minute. Then scratching out a warning label will take a few minutes 😁

It is true. What's your upload speed? 😁

Fiber connections are synchronous. Meaning that the download speed is the same as the upload speed.

A gigabit fiber connection gives you 1 gigabit down and 1 gigabit up. A "gigabit" cable connection gives you 1.something gigabit down (it allows for spikes... Usually) and like 20-50 megabits upload.

Fiber ISPs may still limit your upload speeds but that's not a limitation of the technology. It's them oversubscribing their (back end) bandwidth.

Cable Internet really can't give you gigabit uploads without dedicating half the available channels for that purpose and that would actually interfere with their ability to oversubscribe lines. It's complicated... But just know that the DOCSIS standards are basically hacks (that will soon run into physical limitations that prevent them from providing more than 10gbs down) in comparison to fiber.

The DOCSIS 4.0 standard claims to be able to handle 10gbs down and 6gbs up realistically that's never going to happen. Instead, cable companies will use it to give people 5gbs connections with 100 megabit uploads because they're bastards.

True story: There's a minus sign on the other side so you can use them to power things with the Holy Spirit.

Try it! You may be very surprised at how much power that is 👍

Hah! I love this!

I tried to get Bing to generate, "killing two birds with one stone" but it censored my request and said it won't do it 🤷

Good health, yes. Ripped‽ No. Have you ever seen a Japanese rice farmer? They're skinny.

This is why I want to be a billionaire: So I can fly my private (electric, hopefully) jet to places like this and be like, "yes, I love KDE!" and hand over a great big check to this dedicated volunteer.

I'd have "my people" bring a mini red carpet and a fancy looking "FOSS is best" backdrop so I could get a photo op with this cool guy, shaking his hand and smiling at the camera while we both held up one of those over-sized fake checks showing the absurd amount of money he just earned by being awesome.

Since AI is trained by us, using the fruit of human labor as input, it'll have to be something we can't train it to do.

Something biological or instinctual... Like being in close proximity to an AI will never result in synchronized menstruation since an AI can't and won't ever menstruate.

So... That 👍

It might work better if the car's "face" was cuter. I mean, imagine if it looked like this when the car "noticed" you:

This used to happen to me all the time! Except I always gave an estimate of a minimum, "six weeks". Which was always going to be shorter than the other folks/teams who would always start with a minimum of, "three months".

It was a trick, you see. It meant I was always the first person they asked to do anything which meant I got first pick of any given work coming down the pipe 👍. It was more than that though: From experience I knew which projects were real and which were, "management whims". That is, projects that were going to ultimately get cancelled.

If you know how the system works you can always get a deadline extended. Especially if you, "went out of your way" to try to get it done faster than everyone else. With this knowledge in mind I would accept the, "six week" project with the anticipation that it would get cancelled after a month which happened at least 50% of the time and 100% of the time if it was a, "management whim".

This situation was an extreme disincentive to actually work on any projects at all; because if you spent all day every day working on a project for a month and then in the 4th week it gets cancelled that means you wasted all of your time. You could've been surfing the web or learning new skills/frameworks/operating systems/whatever in that time!

Once I had the system completely figured out I would accept these, "six week" projects and not work on them at all for the first month (I had much better things to do, trust me). If they were still pining over it after that time I'd just request an extra two weeks which would give me a month to actually get it done. Then I'd complete the project--usually in a fucking day or two of dedicated work (e.g. "don't talk to me; I'm not joining any conference calls today"). Then I would deliver the project on the day it was originally due: Two weeks early.

I was a hero at that company. The bosses would regularly throw my name out there whenever someone else's project went over time or over budget, "we should've given this to Riskable!"

Company ended up laying me off and then re-hiring me ~1.5 years later at a vastly increased salary because they, "just couldn't find anyone that delivered" like I did 😁

GOTTA BRING UP THAT INTENSITY LEVEL! THIS AIN'T NO YOGA CLASS! GO ARGUE WITH SOMEONE! CONTENT GAINZ! 💪😁

Wait: That's Meta Threads. Never mind.
