Indeed it is

"The marionettes were created by the Chiodo brothers, who also made the puppets for Team America: World Police; each puppet was expensive, and the wires pulling each puppet had to be re-added by computer-generated imagery in postproduction because they did not show up well enough on camera."

10/10 choice. I feel like Fringe has a good selection of imagery for tattoos.

It is fantastic and I always think about it when I see photos and videos of these fascists.

My dog has the same life vest. I couldnt find a recent photo with it (We're on our second one, since he outgrew the first), so here's a picture of Bumi as a puppy with it at the beach

I was shuffling SV the other day and this ep came on. Iconic

Gotta do 4, start from the middle and go out.

I'm also a fan of JB (and Tenacious D for that matter). I heard of this. While I don't love it ant I don't agree, I can see it from the perspective of "don't call for violence for anyone".

He also doesn't even deserve credit for the idea for thn Metaverse. He literally stole the premise and the name from Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson

He's one of the only celebrities that I feel like has stood the test of time and not been revealed as a shitty person

I think they're referring to the fact that $12.70 isn't evenly divisible by 3. However they seem to have forgotten sales tax, at least that's my guess

Baked Ziti (programming.dev)

A couple friends just had a baby. So my SO and I brought a Baked Ziti. I'm the one who made this, I'm still learning to cook well when my partner is amazing. They tasted it and said "I've taught you will, young grasshopper", so that was nice.

Edit: if anyone is curious, here's the recipe. https://www.onceuponachef.com/recipes/baked-ziti-with-sausage.html#recipe

 

My partner: "Do you want me to drive to the HW store to pickup the curtain rod?" Me: "Nah, I can get it on my way home"

 

Are you kidding me?

President Donald Trump’s administration on Wednesday ordered a halt to New York City’s congestion pricing system, which thins traffic and funds mass transit by imposing high tolls on drivers entering some parts of Manhattan.

Launched on Jan. 5, the city’s system uses license plate readers to impose a $9 toll on most passenger cars entering Manhattan neighborhoods south of Central Park. In its early days, transit officials say the toll has brought modest but measurable traffic reductions.

 

Hello all, I am moving into a new apartment, and was planning on replacing the thermostats with Z-Wave ones. I currently have a Honeywell T6 Pro Z-Wave in my current apartment, and was planning on picking up a couple more.

When I was at the new place today, I took a look inside of one of the thermostats and saw something I was not expecting. They are all 120VAC line voltage thermostats. The heating and cooling is shared between the building, and whether heating or cooling is on is a whole building schedule. The person in the leasing office that was touring us around the new place when we got our keys said that it switches to heat in october or November.

Attached are a couple of photos of the thermostat and a photo of the vent in the wall (although not sure if that is helpful). The thermostat is a Honeywell T651A. I am not sure of what the actual HVAC equipment looks like.

This obviously throws a hamper in my plans, and now I have to look for alternatives. I am not super familiar with 120VAC HVAC, so I wanted to get some advice from others. I believe it is a heated/chilled water system, and the thermostat simply controls the pump/blower in the wall panel (one of the photos). The fact that there is both heating and cooling is what is confusing me, since all of the 120VAC thermostats I have seen are only for heating. Obviously it all boils down to how the temperature is compared to the set point. If the building switches to cooling (which won't be a problem for about 6 months after it switches I am guessing), the comparison will be backwards.

If anyone is able to point me to any resources on how I can learn about this control system, that would be great. I found the Stelpro KI Z-Wave Thermostat which I think will work, but I am not sure what happens when it switches to cooling in the spring. I prefer Z-Wave since I have found it to be far more reliable (especially in a larger building. This is a 7 floor building with ~15 units on each floor. So there is a lot of 2.4GHz traffic I assume), however if anyone knows of a product that will work for this (if the Stelpro one won't) I'm all ears.
