We cleaned about 250 boar out of our farm over a four year period with the same 3-5 shot rifles we hunt deer and moose with. They mill around long enough you can reload. I have an SKS but I don't bother, I'd rather sneak over a hill and pop half a dozen slowly and cleanly with my .338. And I can do it from far enough away that they don't really get upset until 3 of them are lying on the ground, kicking.

Gensible for cshes.

OK

OK, I'll watch their job postings like a hawk to learn what their strategies are going forward. Thanks for the tip!

I'm pretty active in FOSS news, never saw a thing about this before it was rolled out. Maybe that's on me and I just missed the obvious, but probably not. I don't seem to be the only one taken by surprise.

Wow, you aren't wrong. OP then goes on to do exactly what you're saying, because they know they're definitely better than the "pseudoleftists".

I have defended Mozilla for years, because we can't let Chrome become the only browser engine available.

But goddam, it's getting hard to be enthusiastic about it. This is starting to get like voting for the genocidial dementia patient because at least he isn't the megalomaniac pedophile.

I want the old internet back. God it was so wonderful before the dotcom bubble.

Why wouldn't you bring all this up before you shove it into the browser to be discovered later, and make it the default? Whoever thought this was a good idea should be shot with a ball of their own shit.

When they didn't have a stranglehold on the market anymore because they let their R&D falter, they didn't have the ability to do things like make ECC ram a "server" motherboard thing and artificially jack prices.

Intel has been a shit company for years now. They're paying the price of hubris and everyone that's been taken for a ride by them is leaving now that there's choices.

At that price, they weren't going to sell much. What jackass thought people other than the most rabid fanbois was going to spend $3500 on a beta version of tech that hasn't got a killer app yet?

It's even in the post blurb...

Yah, if the people around me pearl-clutched as hard as Lemmings, I'd become a hermit.

 

I need a few of these for rpi's around the farm. Tired of dealing with LoRa.

 

If I bring up things like mail or a post in a new tab, I have to go into Login/Manage Accounts and choose my account to do anything in that tab.

 

Terrible diagram 1

I'm trying to figure out how long to make A and B here if I have linear actuator of length C (extended = 2C) in order to tilt my panels from completely horizontal to vertical so they avoid wind and shed snow respectively when I run up the actuator to the extremes respectively based on sensor input.

Is there a simple formula I can use to plug the length of whatever actuator I settle on to figure A and B out? I know it will have to be a certain minimum and maximum size to work properly and might have to experiment to get an idea of what works in the end, but I'd like a reasonable start point to purchase an appropriate actuator.

I've googled around and decided I'm not smart enough to even come up with the right search criteria, let alone figure this out myself since it's been 35 years since I've used anything except the most basic trig.

This isn't really homework except for the fact that I'm trying to make my home work right.

Edit: seems like if I select A=.75C and solve for B at horizontal, then it always works out. No idea why, but the couple examples I try seem to agree.

 

I'm looking for a lowish priced laptop that I can put at least 2 extra monitors on. I want a second landscape 4k and a portrait 1080. Don't need anything special. One monitor has DP and HDMI, but the other just HDMI. Do I just get a DP hub and use a converter dongle for the second?

What would be a recommended laptop for this scenario? I only want AMD CPU and GPU as I can't be arsed to fight with noVideo and Intel doesn't deserve my business.

 

Looks expensive. The grey ones are the broken ones.

 

Thank you for the great work, Vernor. You'll be missed.

 

I did send a donation, but I want to make sure the people involved know I appreciates them.

I set up an instance and have been using it along with a couple friends. It's fast, private and doesn't have a bunch of algo bullshit wasting our time. I have my subs and I watch them, and then I go and touch grass because I'm not sitting there watching trash that is being pushed at me on the feed.

It's like a breath of fresh air.
