"...police confiscated a crossbow, a BB gun and various documents among other items, they added."

Am I a joke to you?

I'm starting in on sketches of what I want my mask to look like when finished.

Is there a LLM/ChatGPT tuned to help with weekly meal planning that doesn't suck? Why not?

As a home cook, I'd like to get a weekly meal plan for dinner plus a shopping list focused on my interests, so I can use it for inspiration.

This seems like a really good LLM application:

  • it doesn't have to be factual
  • huge corpus of data to work from (recipies, meal plans)
  • can tune to suit my (or a users) taste
  • ideally it cood avoid repeats (by knowing what it suggested last week)

And, so far the ones I've found seem... Underwhelming. Has anybody found somethig good? Ideas about why not?

I want to be able to search for content on my phone, then have it automatically downloaded and posted to plex, so that I don't have to fuck around so much every time I want to backup a show.

I am running Plex (on a TrueNAS Core box), Radarr, Sonarr, and QbitTorrent today. I have a preferred tracker.

What other apps do I need to make it easy to find out of a show is avaliable, automatically hand it off to Radarr/Sonarr then download it and move it to my NAS share then get Plex to refresh and tell me it's done?

Seattle year round commuter. For my current short commute: a rain cape (poncho).

  • it's comfortable to wear both wet and dry
  • easy on/easy off. Less fucking around trying to get geared up.
  • I don't sweat through my clothes because it ventilates like crazy

So many more reasons, but good lord those 3 are reason enough. Putting on still-wet gear at the end of the day is nasty.

I also wear rain-legs. I wear wool socks and sneakers (1 less piece of wet gear to deal with). No gloves (cape deals with the rain and wind).

We have 3 (three. Three!!) redundant monitoring and alerting systems and have yet to detect the issues routinely found by our customers. Its not because we didn't detect them, it's because we have so many false positives we stopped looking (but still run the monitors).

Uuuuuugffhhhhhj

You don't understand the depths of my shame.

I was in OS support for 5 years. I supported DOS 5.

I work with software Dev teams all day long, including designing highly available services.

And I do after hours tech support for elders (my folks) and house mates (my fam).

If anybody knows to reboot...

Well now I feel like an ass - this is what I'd tell my parents.

And yeah, that fixed it. I'm tempted to delete this whole embarrassing post, but I will leave it for the edification of others and to memorialize my shame.

On my pixel 6 the home button returns me to my home screen, or it used to. Recently, if I am on a google search (from the home screen google search widget), home does nothing.

I'm expecting it to return me to the home screen - that's what it does on a pixel 7.

I don't think I've made any changes to cause this, any idea how to get it back?

I met Danny at my local coffee shop. I am a total ass and said "Abed?". He said " Danny. " and shook my hand. Thus confirming my status as Total Ass, and his as a mensch.

I think Judaism is pretty interesting. No hell to speak of. Strong community focus. Traditions seem not-evil. Seems to foster a sense of curiosity and knowledge seeking. At least among those I know.

Shoes, with the Aglets of the laces resting upon them.

Education, specifically primary and secondary education for girls, is highly effective at reducing poverty. It deserves be highly prioritized for investment.

Am I right to be annoyed that I have two broken spokes after having a reputable shop fix 1 broken spoke a few days ago?

I'm out doing a tour, tomorrow is the last big day - 45ish miles. The rear end felt a little squidgey coming out of the woods this evening. I figured I was low on air but No! Two new broke spokes (rear wheel, drive side, broke off in the J bend, holes are right next to each other).

I got to practice using a fiber fix - and truth be told we aren't really doing anything rough, so I imagine things will be fine. But... Dang, I wish the shop would have told me the tension was off and I was going to break more - I would have brought another fiber fix!

Btw: fiber fix is a neat little hack. But a PITA to install on the drive side. What finally worked for me was: make a 'clean' end by cutting the end I messed up trying the first time. Then, reenforcing the end with super glue and some tape (so the end would hold together while forcing it through the hub hole). A bright light and a tiny Leatherman squirt were required.

I'm out rolling around Victoria with some friends, one is a wine buyer. He got the good local stuff for the gang to try. I really wanted some, just a bit... Decided to pass.

Gotta be a pretty early bird to get close at zoo tunes. Nice to see some music outside!
