IIRC, the windows version of this is a setting where you can hit CTRL and it makes a moderately large circle that contracts towards the pointer. It’s been in since at least W7/Vista, possibly XP. I’ve used it on and off for years (especially with 3 27" monitors) because of how easy it is to lose the cursor.

Sure, though it isn’t super exciting. The assistant store manager, Lucio (fuck you Lucio, you fucking piece of shit) was an illegal immigrant who managed to fake his way through the verification steps, and INS showed up one day and vanned him while I was away going to college.

I wasn’t sad to see that fucker go, because he had a number of Mexican kids that he let do whatever they wanted, including Edgar who sexually harassed multiple girls out of the store and Lucio wouldn’t do shit because “why would I fire him when we’re already losing one employee”. Never mind that wed already lost 4 girls at that point and one of them was pregnant at the time. I’m honestly surprised he and I never came to blows because I didn’t hide that I fucking hate him.

My manager didn’t honor the employee discount after I was gone, either.

They never do. I had a manager try that shit on me when I was working food service, and I turned it around on him and made him get one of his toadies to clean it up after talking a bunch about “not being trained for biohazard cleanup” and “OSHA regs” which got him to back down, and I told all my coworkers the same so they’d tell him to fuck off too.

Still wish I could have been there when the feds showed up and escorted him out of the building.

Jumping a turnstile and taking a physical, actually scarce resource is not comparable to duplicating a digital, artificially scarce resource.

The train requires ongoing maintenance and can only hold a finite amount of people. Taking the train seat for free takes away something from another person. Downloading media does not use any ongoing resources, and does not take anything away from another consumer.

Comparing the morality of physical goods to digital goods are not really a good comparison specifically because of the artificial scarcity brought on by making something digital to try to make it more expensive doesn’t map to the real scarcity of physical goods.

So just swap new drives in one at a time, after backing your data up just in case. I upgraded mine to 4x10 drives 3-4 years ago, and its painless as long as you wait for the resilvering process to complete.

I’ve used gpt 3/3.5, bing, bard and copilot, and I’m not super stoked. Copilot gave me PS DSC items that don’t actually exist, which was my most recent attempt at using a LLM.

I might see about figuring out if it can hook into my vs code instance so it’s a bit smarter at some point.

and a bunch of it is code generation to test out how we need to modify our CS curriculum in light of these new tools.

I’m curious if you’ve gotten anything decent out of them. I’ve tried to use it for tech/code questions, and it’s been nothing but disappointment after disappointment. I’ve tried to use it to get help with new concepts, but it hallucinates like crazy and always give me bad results, some of the time it’s so bad that it gives me answers I’ve already told it we’re wrong.

I too have dreams of lots of pictures

2016 was my year, and that election pretty much slapped me in the face for doing so.

Until the fascist part stops being fascists, I feel morally obligated to vote for the same party for the continued benefit (and rights) of the LGBT+ members of my family.

Unfortunately she’s got insomnia right now, so it’s extra special.

Thank you for the well wishes! She’s about 3 weeks out and is not happy about being limited now that she’s hit that fun part where people hurt themselves lol.

I can guess how maddening that is for you. One of my partners is recovering from a bilateral reduction, and she was lucky enough to be allergic to the pain meds, so she had to deal with her whole body itching for a few days before she just stopped taking them.

Hope the itching stops, you may be able to take Benadryl or something for the itching to make it more tolerable.

Ethernet is a layer 2 protocol, what does the layer 1 medium have to do with it?

How do those compare to fiberglass blankets? I do firecupping and appreciate having the protection of the blanket, but don’t want to worry about shards making my partners itchy. But I’ll deal with the itch if it means no fire worries…

I’ve got both a fire extinguisher and a fire blanket, and I’ve only ever needed the blanket so far. $26 for a 5’ square fiberglass blanket that did the trick immediately the first time it was needed.

If it’s a real extinguisher, can’t you just have it recharged and reuse it?

Yes, as stated below that includes property taxes and insurance, things that this person likely isn’t thinking about and isn’t figuring into their monthly payment. I hope I’m wrong, but I’ve watched friends crash and burn doing something similar.

Sure, if you ignore all kinds of other factors like additional closing costs added to your mortgage, as well as stuff like insurance and property taxes and the interest on the loan itself. But yeah, simple arithmetic…

I wish it was as easy as just a percentage of the mortgage every month

If you’re looking at 300k @ 8%, youre not going to be paying anything similar to your current rent. I got a place for 190k @ 6%, and I’m paying about 200/mo less for my mortgage than you do for rent. At that rate, I’d be surprised if you got out under 2500/mo.
