Audiobooks. Libby app for local library and countless audiobooks already covered by your library card.

I’ve listened to/read so many books. Short ones that are 4 hours or so to entire series where each book is about 20 hours or so.

Long drive? Audiobook. Yard work? Audiobook.

I find myself looking forward to the mundane chores because it gives me an excuse to get back into whatever story/book I’m enjoying.

What about good ole Big Top Beer at my local Raytown market

Not sure. Like any field I suspect there’s specialties including people who do research/modeling vs consuming that data and advising based on it.

Code and snippets to analyze data work well when you can send chunks of it to multiple servers (think analyzing the effect of weather patterns).

Since a lot of that stuff is running on Linux (similar to cloud computing) it makes sense that people that write function/scripts/utilities would already be comfortable in that environment and use it as their daily driver.

I think we just stumbled into Multiplicity (1996) in a roundabout way

You’re right so in that case, a more realistic danger is that you can sufficiently cause him to lose his memory and then convince him that he’s fighting on your side when he heals enough but with no previous memories.

Not to mention the whole bones that can’t be broken because of the super strong metal.

So… pre bone infusion Wolverine maybe? Although if he lost an arm and it grew into a new person would they have a functioning brain?

For that matter, even if he didn’t, would a healed wolverine remember who he is if his brain suffered enough trauma?

Which opens up a Pandora’s box of issues such as CTE’s j side his encase skull. Sure his brain can heal that damage but the memories, etc would be gone right?

They’re in an orbit that works with jupiters current mass. If Jupiter gained enough mass to trigger fusion then I would think that many of them would with fall in or be slung out of orbit.

I’d be interested to see if anybody has done the math though to see how that would all play out.

Depends on what kind of detector it is but alot of them use small amounts of radiation and a detector that triggers when the number of particles detected drops below some level.

How smoke detectors work

That being the case any particulate large enough to interrupt the particles could cause it to go off.

For example high humidity misty water from a shower wafting over a detector placed over the bathroom door, etc.

And fluffle their feathers when they’re jonesing for caffeine.

There’s a psychological stress with work that can take some time to slough off.

Some people don’t want to log out of work and be grumpy or distracted during family time.

That being said having a process or system as a habit to denote work/home is a good alternative.

A 10 minute walk, a change of clothes, or some song you play, anything that creates a mental delineation. So the annoyance from that way too long meeting asking why something isn’t done (4 hours a day giving out status updates isn’t helping) doesn’t come out on the family.

Ha. I missed this. I guess today I’m one of the lucky 10000

I can’t speak to specifics but I can give you some ideas.

So the obd port might have some basic info such as acceleration and turns since and/or at least torque/thrust readings that you can poll since insurance companies and others have devices that use them to track your driving (often paired with GPS which you don’t need)

So some arduino project that lets you plug in and poll that data and to establish a trigger for some audio could be fun.

Pair that with something else that lets you connect via auxiliary or Bluetooth so you can play it over the speaker and you might have something.

This might be easier since a pi would be better suited to playback of audio and might be easier to get everything connected and to tinker with the Python to respond to certain readings

There’s the New York Subway if you can stomach the smell

Possible something on your motherboard has PCIe lanes that are dedicated to GPU when it’s slotted, otherwise they can be used for other devices?

For example here’s a post about m.2 slots that, when used, affect the PCI on a particular board. May be worth checking your boards manual to see if there’s something similar.

The answer not only seemed a HUGE disappointment, but a bit baffling. The pdf manual says if you occupy that 5th m.2 slot, which is the Gen 5 one, the Pci-E 1 slot is automatically downgraded to 8x. This I thought would be unacceptable if running a behemoth like the RTX 4090 I eventually plan to get, as it requires a lot of power and bandwidth.

I love the internet archive but yeah, there was just no way this wasn’t going to backfire. And by handling things the way they did they damaged the reasonable defense of archivist (not only for themselves) because publishers and others often cite that archival and backups are just “pseudonyms” “synonymous” for piracy.

They aren’t but the way this was handled made it impossible for them to argue otherwise and it also creates a legal precedent for lawsuits and judgments by publishers against others who are doing such work.

Apple, phonus mobilus?

It’s already been used far beyond its planned operational status and everything since then has been gravy.

It’s amazing that they’re able to find workarounds to keep it useful for scientific tests and analysis.
