> Prosecutors had no forensic evidence connecting Allah to the shooting. Surveillance footage at the store showed two masked men with guns, but they were not identifiable. The state’s case rested on testimony from Allah’s friend and co-defendant, Steven Golden, who was also charged in the robbery and murder. As their joint trial was beginning, Golden pleaded guilty to murder, armed robbery and criminal conspiracy and agreed to testify against Allah. Golden, who was 18 at the time of the robbery, said Allah shot Graves.
Updates have never been an issue. And honestly I am always a bit surprised by that. I don’t update to a new version right away but when I’m ready, I change the version in the docker compose, pull, re-up the container. It performs the database migration and brings up everything. Never had an issue after using it for years. Not sure what your exact setup is, but it’s certainly not a nightmare to use.
A few years ago I had quite a lot of fun with one of those cheap $30 wireless USB microscopes with up to 1000x magnification that connects to some app. My family and I always came up with new ideas about what we should look at next. Incredible fun. Unfortunately it broke down rather quickly. But it opened up the world much more than traditional backlight microscopes I am used to. They are basically “just” specialized cameras with bright flash lights.
I wonder if prices have come down a bit and if there are good options out there for such a portable microscope that doesn’t break so quickly. Better quality and magnification in the $200 range?
To me there are either two ways: when you are trying to learn the thing XYZ you are seeking, drill down to the first thing you don’t understand and consult a lower level resource. Continue until you reach a level you understand. And the second way is: Re-learning “all” of essential math and then going back to XYZ.
I don’t think the second step is feasible, as you cannot possibly learn everything in a breadth-first kind of way until you are deep enough to learn the (now level-adjacent) topic XYZ.
But for strategy 1, the question is 1) how to identify the problem that you are lacking (e.g. how to isolate math gibberish into a concrete concept) and 2) how to find a good resource to learn and practice this concept at this level?
I do struggle with this and sometimes randomly learn some lower concept again but notice later it did not help me in the end and just left me with a million untied knots that were infeasible for me to entangle.
Also the machine you mentioned is not sold in the US anymore. Afaik the only machine is the 800W Chef Titanium (which is what I have).
But even more curious, 1200W should work in the US. At 120V and 20 Amps, this gives 2400W max and I think continuous load is allowed at 80% of that, which would be 1920W. But even the Kenwoods in the US only have sub 1000W last time I checked.
*I understand that the lower Voltage means less power but a) there would be much more room for higher powered devices with 1000W+ and b) there are very few stand mixers who support the double voltage outlets which some kitchens offer and those are industrial understandably.
Very underwhelming. I miss the Kenwoods sold in Europe.
The problem is that if you recommend the book for it's "unique plot twist", the reader will keep looking for clues on how the resution may not be the most obvious and figure it out pretty fast. Then it is actually no surprise at all anymore. At least this happenend to me.
It would serve the book better if it was recommended as a great (but traditional) murder mystery novel and that's it.
To this day James Hoffman has only one crappy video about the Cafelat, which is not even a polished review and rather a first look. But he has a few highly polished flair videos and discusses their ridiculous electricly preheated pro versions to death. (Without ever really seriously comparing it against the Cafelat)
