So you can not use the eco tank for 6 months and it will just work when you need to print again? That is why I like laser printers, I don't have to worry about head cleaning or clogged nozzles.

Japan had deflation. Can search for information on that. Many articles out there about it.

So they should compare their accomplishments to something that has had hundreds of full-time employees working on since 2004?

It is kind of like thinking that it is a huge sale at a store when they say "Up to 70% off". And there are like two things in the whole store which are 70% off.

I am always suspicious of "up to" claims.

This comment reminds me of those Amazon reviews that give a product 1-star because Amazon had a shipping issue. Yeah, sorry the product wasn't able to get to you but you aren't helping me figure if the product itself is any good or not.

I too am interested in finding some kits as I recently started soldering and wanted to practice using some kits as it sounds more fun than just practicing on a breadboard.

One site I found while watching a YouTube video was: https://www.electronickits.com/ but I haven't ordered anything yet and really don't know much about them besides they were listed in a video...

Same for a Brother black-and-white laser. Not a Brother ink printer. Not a Brother color laser printer. A Brother black-and-white laser.

Now maybe things have changed. But I bought my Brother MFC-8890DW back in April of 2011. It is still going strong. In that time period I have replaced the toner once. But I have only printed 3,768 pages in that time. So 314 pages per year.

It is the best type of printer for my use case which is infrequent printing. Ink type printers aren't the best options if you might have 90+ days between printing jobs. I also really like having the scanning and photo copying features that mine has. And the Ethernet connection makes it so anyone in the house can easily print.

You could try to shake the toner cartridge a bit from side to side. Try to make the toner even. It might help, it might not.

Print them at your local pharmacy or somewhere else that will do color photo prints. Not worth the hassle, in my opinion, to have a color printer (ink or laser).

Not with their new advertiser supported plan ;)

You aren't "giving them" your business. They don't want your business if you don't have a membership.

It would be like saying I'm not giving Netflix anymore of my business since they won't let me use my dad's password.

Not brown rice, but I guess there is a shortage and now hoarding of rice happening[1]. India has supposedly banned the export of non-basmati white rice.

I guess this could impact brown rice supplies if people who can't get white rice switch to brown rice.

Not too hard to hoard rice. It doesn't require refrigeration and can be stored for a long time. Like toilet paper!

Funny. Makes me think of the "pets vs cattle" analogy. That server is for sure a "pet".

Portland Oregon has PDXLAN https://www.pdxlan.net/site/

Edit: I found this also https://www.lanreg.org/ a website for registering LAN parties :)

There is a YouTube video on some of the technical aspects from Fall 2022: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgtwA-N3eH0

Not sure if they did one in Spring 2023??

From the website:

What is PDXLAN?

PDXLAN is a PC gaming event near Portland, Oregon. Over a thousand PC gamers from around North America unite together and bring their computers to play video games with one another for four days while raising money for charity. Our goals are best described in our tag line: “Have fun, Frag hard, Give back.”

PDXLAN events are four days long, host multiple in game contests, analog contests, BYOC tournaments, Sponsor presentations, and raffles.

I almost immediately became suspicious on the accuracy of this article when they said the "Nvidia RTX 40 Ampere series". Ampere was the architecture name for the RTX 30 series. Ada Lovelace is the architecture name for the RTX 40 series.

Roundabouts are quite a bit safer than alternatives like stop signs and traffic signals. Hard to have T-bone crashes plus it forces the speed to be reduced.

If you have `fzf` installed you might try this alias.

    frbi = "!f() { git rebase -i $(git log --pretty=oneline --color=always | fzf --ansi | cut -d ' ' -f1)^ ; }; f"

I do: `git frbi` (which in my mind means Fzf ReBase Interactive)

Then I can easily scroll up to the commit I want to start the rebase on.

Could also say the same thing about car accidents. The death rates for car accidents is different based on gender. What is the gender ratio at those Yankees games? :)

I'm willing to hand-wave over a lot of this stuff as otherwise it gets way too overcome with pedantry which likely doesn't matter...

Probably most people have about a 1 in 80 chance of dying each year on average over the course of their life.

The US death rate is 1.04% per year. So in that sporting event example, statistically 313 of them will die within a year's time.

Also if the sporting event was today then only around 2.5 people would die in a car accident "this year" as currently we are already in July ;)

Anyway that is my bunch of nonsense statistics :)

Related is the fact that encryption is being turned on for ATSC 3.0 broadcasts.

I don't understand this logic. The US has the Powerball lottery.

So far it has been won 403 times[1] what seems around 20 year time span. With a US population of around 360 million. So not sure why 25 winners would require a population of 1 billion.

One option you could try is using a CloudFlare tunnel.

I believe for a ship to be US flagged it must be built in the US, use a US crew, and follow US rules. Which makes things relatively expensive.

They have updated their TOS a few days ago:

The prohibition on non-HTML content seems to only apply to CDN usage now.

> The `stages` things is just useless noise, I just wanna specify dependencies please, I don't want to be forced to also put each job in a stage, it's weird.

You don't have to. GitLab supports dependencies. Using the `needs:` keyword.

It was released in August of 2019.

Synology and Fedora use btrfs by default. I've been using it for years and have had zero issues.

One pipeline was not blown up and can carry 27.5 billion cubic meters per year. So it is still technically possible to send gas through that pipeline.

I kind of thought the project was dead with how long it went without a release. I ended up switching to qBittorrent about 8 months ago as I needed v2 torrent support. So far I have been very satisfied with the switch.

When I saw the title I thought it was going to be about `buildah` [1][2]

Which allows you to create images using the command line to build them up step-by-step.
