@SecularJeffrey@ohai.social There is a ~75% chance this was built by someone's grandfather in their woodshop, following a pattern and step-by-step instructions from a magazine.

Roads are only now starting to be plowed; white out conditions and snow over ice. Had some time getting out of DT. Hardly anything moving except AWD/4WD, even then some stuck in drifts. Yikes! [ #nlwx #yyt ]

@faliate @davidaugust Optical, dental, prescriptions are not covered in Canada. Well, not universally covered.

@personifieddevil@ieji.de @foone@digipres.club Maybe they should have put AWS in the cloud?

@NanoRaptor@bitbang.social @lieter@mastodon.lieter.nl there are, of the originals. For example, the one on systems failures (nasa-tn-6193) is actually about vanes, and can be found here: https://ntrs.nasa.gov/citations/19710013639

Weather was ok (-6C, low wind, sunny) today, so salt-n-shovelled a working patch of the driveway to fit the ramps. Pulled the #CDV from the #Kia. Not really stated anywhere, so for info a 2017 #Forte LX 6MT [Canada] indeed has an external slave cylinder next to oil filter. Easily removed. Clutch is much more direct, traditional feel and no longer shags me up. Also tightened oil plug (slow leak) and pulled/relubed driver door lock ~ no more graphite powder. Silicon spray lube now.

@collectifission@greennuclear.online sometimes, when there is too much snow on the windshield to bother clearing, I just lay on the horn ... and send it.

@amberage you can RFC [ Release For Consideration ] your RFC [ RFC Functional Candidate] which is RFC [ Really Fraking Cool] ~ even if it is RFC'd [ Rejected For Concerns ]. Course, could RFC [ Request Further Clarifications ] and RFC [ Refactor For Comments ] then RFC [ Resubmit Following Consensus ] your RFC.

Though I am decades away from retirement times, there is grey.. nay, white... in my beard.. near the whole thing by now. Yesterday, it paid off -- had my first 'seniors discount' applied at the grocery store. I'll take it ~~ Niceeee!!!

@SRDas that looks super cool, but I dunno if I'd want to be on or under them stacks

@baralheia @TechConnectify Finish dishwashing powder says it gets 17 loads from 1.8 kg on the box. 106 grams/load, i.e. enough for >5 tabs. Can't trust 'em!! I use a store brand (Sobey's/Compliments). In testing detergents for my own use, I felt it was the bestest, <$9 for a box (1.7 kg), don't have to use very much, though always throw some in the prewash and never measure anymore, just by feel. I'd say prob a minimum for me would be about ~85 loads per box. Water is soft.

@joe@f.duriansoftware.com You knows you can download more RAM, since like the days of Napster

@markwyner@mas.to @randahl@mastodon.social @_elena@mastodon.social watch it on both. Simultaneously. Sort of a quad stereo effect

@petrikas@mastodon.art that screen looks great though, good job on that. Always liked MS's hardware

@andyb@mastodon.au hah, nice!!!

@juliawildsmith@mastodon.scot why so cold?!!!!

@cmconseils@mastodon.social " lexi-face "

@wonderofscience@mastodon.social oh yah that is whacky After a couple viewings though, pretty sure the arrows move.

@xivk@mstdn.social @bart@floss.social @organicmaps@fosstodon.org POI's can be covered by OSM, add what you find useful and maybe ... one day... Traffic etc. a lot more problematic. Privacy concerns aside, it's hard to imagine even a new commercial thing that wouldn't get bought up by the tech dorks in short order, ala Waze.
