Washuu

Every Apple computer that I have owned or being lent by a company has been affected by a secret recall, lawsuit, or general massive defect that has resulted in multiple RMA replacements. Always years later well after the relevancy of the hardware or the issue was discovered. One Macbook that cooked itself alive in the overhead bin on a plane. Apple always delays as much as possible and avoids admitting that there is an issue.

I had a train arrive two minutes late over the weekend in Osaka and I could see people visibly agitated and worried when looking down the platform.

Tax is not always included in Japan in the shown price①. For example, the 100 yen stores the tax is separate so I know if I pick up five items I am paying 550 yen.(10% sales tax nationwide for almost everything.)

①However, by law the price tag is required to also show the with tax（税込） price if displaying the without tax price.

1 cent is equal to 1.5 yen. The nice conversion of 1 cent equals 1 yen has been lone gone. :(

I generally record everything in 44khz, but I will record at 192khz if I know I will be doing any time stretching. The high sampling frequency matters for that.

Stadium Trucks has been a thing in the USA for a long time. I don't know if Stadium Super Trucks would be considered a direct descended of it, but they are very similar.

I had that happen to me before. I accepted the invitation, looked at their stuff, and then submitted an issue/PR to remove myself. They panicked, I laughed a bit.

Not really. Being the only woman around a bunch of drunk frat-like guys is not fun.

There are plenty of old steel and wood bridges across the northeast that are exactly like that. They are closed to general traffic and only used by locals.

Basically, this. ^

I fitted an off road style fuel tank on a truck I had, but I opted for the version without sponges/baffles. It would try to stall when stopping on a low tank.

It is commonly used in racing and off road applications to prevent sudden starvation of the fuel pump in rough situations.

I uploaded a video quick just to pass that step since the length was hard to find. The generated video ID was a bunch of Roman numerals so I was totally fucked.

Amazon selling off companies they own is not very common. The last one that I know of that they sold off was Curse.(Sub-Subsidiary of Twitch) It was a huge effort by the director at the time to make it happen.

The NSFW thing is extra annoying because there are a lot of subreddits that use the NSFW flag to mark entries as something else with styles applied to change the appearance.

I can corroborate the basics of the "small test group". I have a channel with a bunch of subscribers that no matter what I do, when I post to it, YouTube basically shows my videos to the wrong audiences then kills it.(Either due to channel history or something else with how YouTube has categorized it.) So I started a new channel, posted the same videos, and suddenly they just get shown to the proper audiences while doing well.

I just got a new Sonicare. It actually has a feature that detects the over current condition, stops the motor, and buzzes.

It very much depends. I have been with a company that found and hired someone because they became known through a felony conviction related to hacking.(They had a specific set of skills we needed related to the hacking conviction.)

...But ultimately we couldn't complete the hiring process since there was a bank on the first floor and the building owners would have terminated our lease if they found out they worked there.

Mean Well has been around for a few decades. They are in a lot of pinball machines too.

You would be best to look up reviews comparing them for your needs. For my needs the 4090 cuts ray tracing rendering times in half for what I do in Blender compared to the 3090 I have right now. I can't justify buying a 4090 right now so I will get the speed upgrade in a couple years.

I recently nuked about 10TB of data and decommissioned my Unraid server. I do have a disk on a shelf with the contents of that data If I do need something from it I can dig it out, but it is there to rot.

I do a lot of stylized 3D art: I still have time before AI figures that out!~

I lived next to the testing range for this engine for the past few years.

It sounds amazing from a far too. The shock diamonds it creates have an audible rumble/rhythm to it.

I have a whole shelf full of horse stuff because of this!~

My agent here in Japan told me not to bother with half the listings I showed him since they had racist/foreigner exclusion policies. That was of a few months ago.

I wanted to buy a Sony phone direct from Amazon. I specifically bought "Shipped and Sold by Amazon" three times and had to return it three times because they kept sending me another seller's commingled inventory. It was obvious because the box had the third party seller's sticker on it and it was a Hong Kong model phone which would not work properly in the USA.

30 years of coding experience here.(Professional + student) I only end up on Stack Overflow for cryptic regex stuff that I forgot and ffmpeg syntax.

I authored/contribute/maintain stuff that is used by tens of millions of people world wide. I do not qualify. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

UPS won't let me unsubscribe from their emails and I have hit "Report Spam" in Google Mail on hundreds of them. It does nothing.

The last metric that I calculated to host a small wiki on Gamepedia was about $3 USD per month. It is probably a bit higher than that now. That included costs for hosting through AWS next to large wikis like Minecraft Wiki that would easily be a large majority of the monthly costs.(Game updates would vastly skew the monthly costs for each of the large wikis.)

I needed a camera slider that was not thousands of dollars and did not require someone else to operate. So I designed, printed, built, and programmed my own to use AI/face/object tracking to follow me around.

I also have been spending more time actually creating video content. I used to do a bunch in the early YouTube days, but I hit a decade long bit of depression.
