Every time work pushes to use 100% biometrics I have to argue and get an exception.

I’ve got form of eczema where two to four times a year all the skin on my hands flakes and falls off… There are weeks when I have no fingerprints.

They’ve only brought up facial recognition once and I said it didn’t work reliably due to my skin color and facial hair. I have no idea if that’s true, never tried it, never will, but they didn’t pursue it any further.

I always enjoy throwing out the “if you force that, there will be about two months a year where I won’t be able to login… That’s up to you, but you have to document it so I can forward it to my manager and make them aware”. Unfortunately they haven’t forced it yet.

“Stephen, what are you doing?”

This website comes up in my news feed occasionally and it’s always the most absurdly click baity misleading headlines.

“Doctors say you MUST have this one thing or you will die within days!”

… water, it’s water.
Dumb shit like that. It’s been frequent enough that the URL is burned into my brain as “fuck that website”.

Sorry, just felt like the need to rant : )

Fuck around and find octopus?

I still have my previous phone… S5 that I used for seven years until it couldn’t get updates and I “needed” some apps that wouldn’t run on the old android version (I don’t remember what they were at this point or if there was a way around it).

It’s been sitting on my desk for the past 5 years waiting for a purpose. The battery is shot but it still “works”. Maybe this is that purpose because I was specifically looking for something like this a few months back …because I thought it would be funny to have that phone as a server.

No, silly, 25 years ago was nineteen seventy… Wait.

26 years later and my brain still default counts back from 2000. Stupid brain.

Same here. The magnet is at the top of the … pole? The steel shaft that the table rides up and down on. It’s just below the upper motor housing so it’s well away from the drilling area and doesn’t collect ferrous chips. There’s also an allen key stuck to the magnet that I assume is important… probably for some type of maintenance on the drill press that I’ve never done.

Great info, thank you!

I’m sure it varies by locale but are there specific certifications / licenses for this?

We’ve been talking with an entity that owns a tower about getting permission to place a meshtastic node on one of their towers and, for some reason, it’s generally frowned upon for some rando to just spider monkey up there : D

I’d considered going through a cert class for fun, if nothing else, but my Internet searches didn’t turn up much reputable looking information. I’ve got a pretty strong background in rock climbing, SAR, and the associated rope work, but obviously those aren’t the same.

I do use Valentina quite a bit at home because my local store has 1L bottles of the regular and black label / extra “hot”.

One of those lasts at least a year so I keep it in the cabinet and continually refill a smaller bottle. They’ve also got 4L jugs but I haven’t been brave enough to go that far … Yet.

Thanks for the heads up!

For some reason I can’t get into audio books so text it is :)

It’s fine without sound too. Voyager mutes videos by default (or maybe I configured it that way). The only reason I went back and unmuted to test is because I saw your question ; )

I think I’ve only had the original Cholula. Now I know to avoid the others :)

Have you had the El Yucateco “El Caribe”? I can’t find it very often in local stores but it’s damn awesome - by far my favorite. … Assuming they still make it and haven’t changed it. It’s probably been 4 years since I bought one because I tend to stock up when I find it.

I recently finished Dungeon Crawler Carl and someone suggested this as related. I’m going to have to check it out after I finish the Hyperion cantos (I just recently discovered Endymion)

Damn : /

Personally I prefer Cholula over Tapatio for my “generic flavorful hot sauce that isn’t actually hot at all so I can slather it on everything” but Tapatio was pretty decent too.

Same. I quit whatsapp the day after facebook bought it. Switched to signal and never looked back. The few people I talked with on whatsapp moved too.

It’s always fun trying to find the next one when the previous goes out of range on road trips. Yes, we could look it up on a phone, but it’s more fun to guess each station genre as quickly as possible.

“Country, Christian, Christian country, classic rock, country, WAIT this might be NPR…”

Same. I love that it has no online features.

Intuitive or not, I’ve noticed that more frequently lately in SaaS websites I use at work. Left side default collapsed with an icon you wouldn’t expect for “all the important stuff is hidden here”
