Giants, and they're off to a good start.

We might take Bentham a lot more seriously if he didn't spend a substantial part of his life trying to make prison management more efficient: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panopticon

He also "referred to his walking stick as 'Dapple, and his cat as 'The Reverend Sir John Langbourne.'

Not to get pedantic, but more humorous utilitarianism examples would have been Mill or Hare.

"You cannot" vs "You should not."

Big difference.

Been using Cursor (VSCode fork). Wonder if these updates will make it downstream. Also, if they're enough to supplant Cursor and directly interact with LLMs, including locally-run ones.

Can't believe I never got around to it on the first go-round, but Nick Hornby's "High Fidelity."

It's working as planned. Those with cash get to pick up stock at deep discounts. What's the problem?

It cuts down on bathroom stops during long rides.

Vodka doesn't have much flavor, but the Vermouth adds a nice touch. Most Vermouth is crap, though and has a sharp edge. The Dolin Dry is more floral: https://www.bittersandbottles.com/products/dolin-vermouth-dry

As for shaking, it's a matter of taste. Vigorous shaking in a covered shaker with crushed ice breaks small shards into tiny crystals. These quickly melt, though, so it's really the very first taste where it's a bit tingly.

Toss in 3 large green olives with garlic or pimento and it's a pretty decent, hard to mess up drink that anyone can make at home.

Thank you. Been looking for a good recipe for a while. I'm guessing it's this one: https://www.seriouseats.com/detroit-style-pizza-recipe

I'll trust anything J. Kenji López-Alt puts out. It solves the mystery of the dough. The rectangular pans recommended are pretty pricey, though. There are more affordable ones out there in larger sizes.

Pihole block list for TVs: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Perflyst/PiHoleBlocklist/master/SmartTV.txt

If your router supports blocking, you can just do it manually one by one and see when things break.

Setting a fine example for the children 🙄

Not seeing 'undelete' on Voyager. Next time I'll check on website.

"The San Francisco Giants looked destined for a quiet one-run loss after a hard battle against one of baseball’s better starters in Hunter Greene. 

They came into the ninth inning down a run and turned it into a three-run lead."

 

I've been taking CERT disaster relief (DR) classes, put on by the city at the local fire department (we live in an area prone to earthquake, flood, and fire). The subject of communications came up and they mentioned walkie talkies in neighborhood caches, but nobody had any idea about models, ranges, etc.

Been casually looking at Meshtastic and keep seeing it mentioned for DR, but haven't come across any actual guides or implementations. For example, I can set up a router in my house, but there's no guarantee it will be standing during a fire, or if power will remain during an earthquake.

There are lots of questions (tech, redundancy, battery backups, range, node placement, while on-the-move, temporary setups, gateways to cell and cloud, etc). Was hoping someone had already figured it out so I wouldn't have to reinvent the wheel. This would be first for my own neighborhood, then expand to city or county-wide services.

I've got another CERT class coming up next week and will ask the Fire Department folks for tips/advice as well, but thought I'd ask here about Meshtastic and maybe point them at some resources, if asked.

For research, am making my way through posts on the Meshtastic site and read the Burning Man report. Also checked out Meshmap in my area (only two routers, one on top of a mountain, but possibly on the back side of it).

FWIW, background in tech, have a ton of ESP32s, RPis, and a few LoRa boards sitting around. Was looking at getting the T-Deck, but am going to hold off until I have a proper plan on what to do with it. Also want to document the process so hopefully come up with a reusable plan. Mainly looking for tips where to look next. TIA.
