The bar for losing your job as a congress person or any public servant for corruption should be way lower than the bar for being sent to prison.

There’s “knowing how” and there’s having your mobile constantly within arms reach.

Also, her obvious corruption. Her and her husband make waaaaaaaay above average on the stock market due to her insider knowledge. But I’m sure that never affects her policy positions.

The fact you assumed this was ideologically motivated is insane. Do you have any critical thinking skills?

As a manual car enjoyer, my brain does all these tasks automatically without the need for conscious attention.

There are very few Linux viruses. With its low market share, it’s not a juicy target, or at least not desktop users.

I don’t think it’s a given and the dev has a proven track record.

…buuuuuutttt they did move to a much smaller userbase so I wonder how many ads he will need for sustainability.

Imperial is definitely worse, but the number of teaspoons or tablespoons to a cup (48 and 16) is useless information. Do you measure out 50 grams one gram at a time? Do you regularly use the fact that a kilometer is 100,000 cm?

The most common way to sense velocity is to have two switches at different levels and calculate the delta to see how fast it moves between them. This does require precision, though.

I’m a pianist, and pianists are often very particular about how musical keyboards feel. There doesn’t appear to be a very large DIY community around it. Getting a digital keyboard to feel good has a lot of elements. It seems that it’s very expensive to design and manufacture a music keyboard, let alone to do it modularly as the keyboard community has. I would expect it to require a lot of compromises that I wouldn’t be willing to deal with except as a hobby project.

Synths, on the other hand, have a HUGE DIY community and that sometimes extends to making keyboards. But for me, it rarely seems worth it to fabricate a keyboard when a MIDI controller with MIDI cables or MIDI over USB can be had as cheaply as $50 or to have a really well done one for under $150.

I’d be more interested in modding an existing keyboard than I would creating my own from scratch.

I found this list of links related to diy instrument and synth making in case you’re interested. https://sdiy.info/wiki/Online_resources

This is such a niche topic that you should probably seek out a traditional forum. Also, check out Look Mum No Computer for some inspiration.

Lamarckian evolution mixed with racism, wow. I’m not surprised.

My dreams barely have visuals so I’m definitely not.

I was about to say “what year is it?” But this includes afterbirth, afterbirth+, and repentance.

Blades is one of the most often hacked games… There is an entire section on drive thru rpgs for “forged in the dark” games with different settings. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?filters=100226_0_0_0_0&src=fid100226

Police prefer that criminal cases are resolved by compelling a confession. If a woman is told by the police they have her period data, most people would crack in that situation. Whether it holds up in court is mostly irrelevant.

It should go without saying, but never talk to police and if you’re being interviewed, insist on invoking your 6th amendment right to an attorney and your 5th amendment right to remain silent. And don’t engage with anything the police say.

Are we really thinking people regularly check browser rankings and go out and try new ones that are trending? That doesn’t ring true to me. I try a new browser if I see a recommendation, if ever.

A US state has already subpoenaed Facebook for Messenger texts to prove an abortion case. It’s not speculative.

It’s very irregular for a country to take back top level domains. Even refusing to renew registrations is unheard of.

ML, tk, etc broke ground by offering free country code TLDs starting 10 years ago. This was possible until Meta sued Freenom this year for issuing domains to the majority of all sources phishing traffic.

Basically, the internet got used to getting TLDs for free, and that was great, except the issuers of said domains (African countries with not a lot of money) have no obligation and no incentive to keep doing that forever. Especially after it became a liability.

They did advertise as rules-light. But with over 450 pages I guess it’s a lot of world building, maybe with a bit of a monster manual in there too.

St Louis actually has a music scene so I go to see live music, especially festivals nearby or 1/2 states away. Regular bands, opera, symphony, jazz, musicals, etc. Kansas City is nearby enough that I can pop over if I’m excited for a big act. Chicago is a train ride away.

Tabletop rpgs or video games. I’m moving away from crunchy games like D&D towards narrative focused stuff. MoTW, Dungeon World, Wanderhome, one-page RPGs.

I’m a weird coffee person so I have a booklet where I rate coffees and I brew at home.

Cooking is a hobby of mine that I quite enjoy, especially when I invite friends over to help.
