At least on a performance vehicle, that's still far too heavy IMO. 40ish lbs? The (cheap) wheels on my Miata are 11 lbs, without any exotic materials or crazy engineering. Almost quadrupling the unsprung mass is a hard sell performance-wise.
I remember a story from years ago in the news where a family (I believe the father may have been a jeweler) had their house burglarized. They had a house fairly far away from their neighbors, and the suspect literally brought a circular saw and cut a hole in the side of the house.
Cali is the only US state where lane splitting is legal. How many people with a long commute are riding motorcycles to work every day? The weather is great for it. Were I in the bay area, I'd be riding in every day. If not for the love of motorcycles, just to shorten my commute times.
I bought my Nexus 5X used on Swappa. It finally bootlooped about a month ago. Called Project Fi support, they transferred the phone to my ownership in their system, and then issued an RMA and sent me a refurbed 5X. I was fairly surprised, as the phone was both out of warranty and bought used.
Is there a real alternative? The patches themselves form as a notice, if anyone happens to be looking closely at the project. I'm sure a blog post widens the audience, but once the patches are public, the cat is out of the bag.
I wish I could be as excited as everyone else re: the new Firefox. I've never switched to Chrome, and dealt with some of the previous performance issues. I dealt with these issues because of Vimperator, which as far as I know, won't work with the new version of Firefox. A real bummer.
The "lifetime guarantee" of Craftsman just doesn't have much sway anymore. All of their tools are made in China junk that breaks if you look at it funny. The quality is just non-existent these days. Might as well just go to Harbor Freight if that's the kind of tool you need.
You're comparing industry-wide fraud with an illegal practice that individual citizens do? I'd wager that there are easily 100,000 trucks on the road in the US for every one that can "roll coal".
Wayfair has done this. Sent them pictures of a (fairly pricey) door handle/deadbolt set that had scratches on it. They said to just keep it and do whatever with it, they'll mail out another one. Super convenient, and now the door from my garage has a nice handleset with just a few small scratches.
All of these battery saving options are great, when they are painless. Running apps that _need_ to stay in the background like Tasker is a much more painful experience now than it was a few years ago.
How did you train yourself not to bottom out the keys? I've been using mechanical keyboards for a few years now, but gave up quickly on trying to not bottom out due to sheer frustration with non-registering key presses.
I must be doing it wrong. We bought a house in AZ with a 15 year, 2.99% interest rate. The MITC made almost no difference, even for the first year where I was paying mostly interest.
Just renewed my membership to the EFF yesterday. Through the 4th of July, they have discounted rates to become a member [0]. I encourage everyone to donate, looking through cases they've been involved in within the past year, the money is being used well.
This might be region dependent, but was not true at any restaurant in the US I've worked at. Sometimes, bar staff and busboys were tipped out (at a much lower percent than what the wait staff kept), but I've never seen kitchen employees get tipped out.
I've been running unstable for years, and have had what you mention happen exactly once. If you're on unstable, use apt-listbugs and don't update every day, and _generally_ you'll be fine. Don't use giant DE's like KDE that go through a lot of transitions and you'll be even better off.
Docker isn't included in this release (thought supposedly will be coming in something like 11.1). The GUI is stable in 11, there's just an _option_ to use the redesigned, beta UI.
Pentadactyl/Vimperator will soon stop working, I believe at FireFox 57. Firefox is removing the ability to run XUL extensions, which will effectively be the end of the awesome VIM plugins for FF :(
I'm somewhat of a coffee snob, and have had quite a few _very_ expensive cups of cold brew from both the best locally known shops as well as some of the more "famous" shops in California.
At best, I can't tell the difference between cold brew bought from a shop using "high end" beans and what I make at home with a bag of 12 O'clock Coffee from the grocery store. The end of the article makes it seem like the beans are important in cold brew, but from my experience, that's just not the case - given you aren't using preground coffee, rubusto, or some other truly "bad" coffee. It's the opposite of espresso, where the bean, it's freshness, the grind, and the time all need to be within a fairly tight range to produce something worth drinking.
First time I bought a mattress I wasn't aware of this. Second time, I got the bedframe, box spring, and mattress protector included, and still managed to knock ~ %20 off the price. I try to negotiate everything now, and have had some measure of success. I will admit that negotiating is mostly, to me, a fun game, rather than a way to save money.
Your example is just one way of exercising, though. There's no getting around it requiring some time, but you can likely do a decent bodyweight-style workout without a gym membership, without a commute, using only implements you can find in your community. Some space to jog, do pushups, something you can hang from to do pullups, etc. People have been training themselves to have fairly large amounts of muscle and endurance in jail, in 3rd world countries, and plenty of other places besides expensive gyms.
Where "very usable" == "sounds exactly the same as lossless", unless there's some double blind study showing that people can reliably tell the difference between v0/320 mp3's and lossless... I've never seen one.
In my experience, this always seems like a cool idea until you use it with keys that an end-user can define. Then you get to watch your code blow up when they override some other function you've defined on the class.
The reality is, as far as I can see, there's just not much benefit in using Docker in a crappy (read: small) pool-of-app-servers-on-top-of-a-database webapp. I've had a lot of newer devs pushing to use Docker. I haven't had these newer devs give a solid reason why relatively low-volume, simple web apps need an additional layer of complexity over an easier-to-manage VM setup with automated provisioning.
I _just_ built a FreeNAS box, and was relying on Corral to let me do virtualization. The box is overbuilt for home NAS use, and the plan was to use Corral to spin up docker and/or Debian VMs to give me a more familiar base in which to spin up other useful services.
Now that Corral isn't happening, would it be better to just virtualize the system and then have Debian VMs as needed? I wonder if I can migrate to a virtualized system without losing the data already in the ZFS pool :/
I agree. The cost of nginx Pro is a drop in the bucket at many larger companies. In the proper situation, I'm all for throwing some dollars at the people that make our infrastructure possible. Most companies aren't altruistic enough to donate money, but will buy the license given a decent rationale.
