Battery life is a little short, and the software support ends in about a year. Really wish I could keep this phone going for another 3 or 4.

Send me a link and I can get you to ~12 million and 1 listens.

I think that depends on the location. Parks may have their own specific rules.

Here’s my pro tip.

You want a unique picturesque wedding on a budget?

National Parks in the US. If you keep your guest list under 50 people, you can get married anywhere in the park, provided you don’t block access, put up decorations, or damage the park, and it’s free! If you have more than 50 people, you need a permit, and those are raffled off per day, and almost no one uses them.

I got married on the bluffs overlooking Little Hunter’s Beach in Acadia National Park. The drive, food, and lodging for my wedding there cost less than the first payment for the venue of my “local” ceremony in my home city, which we ended up canceling anyway.

Services.msc, go to windows update and disable the service.

Eye Haight too brake it two ewe…

Lawn. I have a lawn. Just grass. Takes water and space. Makes a little O2 and that’s it.

FWIW, I’m trying to get rid of it. Plans to build a solar array in the back yard, cover the patio with a greenhouse that connects the house to the garage, side yard is going to be raised planters, and the front is going to be mostly wildflowers with some small pathways and nooks for reading and relaxing. I’d like to get it to the point where I can “mow” the whole property with just a string trimmer.

Clockwise, counter clockwise. Classic time shorthand (IE, half past ten, quarter to eleven). Time estimations (easy to see a half minute on a analog clock, digital just goes from 2:00 to 2:01)

I think analog clock displays are more elegant, and are overall nicer than digital. Personal preference though.

Uber religious.

The reality started to crumble in 4th grade. I had a history book that covered the “main” wars for the US. Chapters on WWI and WWII had sizable “causes for conflict” and those sections for Vietnam and Korea were much much smaller.

9/11 was just a few years after that moment for me. Seeing people around me laughing at the thought of “revenge” by bombing other people endlessly was a major crack. Farenheit 911 was the absolute “we’re not the good guys” moment for me. My idea of patriotism shifted. I stopped believing that America was great, and started believing that America can be great, but it’s gonna take a lot of work, work that half of my fellow Americans are unwilling to do.

I had the FX8350 Black Edition, and that thing would keep my room at 70f… In the winter… With a window open.

Summer gaming was BSOD city. I miss it so much.

I would inform public universities that I would pull/reduce funding unless they start trade training programs. There would also be a media campaign to talk about trade jobs, and reduce the “uneducated blue collar worker” stigma around honest skilled work.

I’d also support, or at least not undercut, unions and tax billionaires.

Maybe. I’d expect the sediment and rocks to be settling down instead of of up. I’m in the 80% sure range that this is right-side up.

I think it is a free diver sitting on the edge of a blue hole.

Who touched my gun!

It’s doesn’t get your exact voice. Your speech gets compressed into digital “steps” that closely mimic the continuous “analog” output of your voice.

It doesn’t get encoded in to plaintext. First, the microphone picks up the sounds, and outputs values for frequencies and intensities. Recording software takes those values, and compresses them down into binary data. Then that binary data is saved onto storage. Depending on your storage, it’s then stored magnetically (cassette, floppy, HDD) or as a “lockable” logic gate (USB, SSD) or as laser etched dots and dashes (CD/DVD)

It’s not getting turned in to rocks, it’s getting written on media.

Also, some number for scale…

My computer has 3.5ghz processors. It can run 3.5 billion instructions every second. To put that in perspective, the smallest unit of time humans can perceive is ~13ms. That processor can run ~270,000 instructions in that time frame. Computers perform very simple tasks, extremely quickly, and it gives the impression of intelligence.

Russia can’t even dominate a non-nuclear state on their border.

If they landed in the US, the gun nuts would absolutely fuck them up.

Seemingly innocuous activity. I was changing the band on my watch.

Watches have a little spring-loaded pin that goes through the band and in to the bezel. I had the spring compressed with some needle tweezers and I was removing the band when the tweezers slipped. One side of the pin was still seated in the bezel, but the other side was free, and pointed right at my face as I was leaning over this watch to work on it. The pin shot straight into my eyeball.

Or at least it would have if my vision was better. It hit my glasses instead, with enough force to leave a dimple in the polycarb lense. Lesson learned, wear safety glasses when working on anything that could possibly get launched, sprayed or blown into your eyes.

AVD, because broadcom fucked up VMware good.
