I’ve got a friend that lives with me, my friend’s name is Nobody…

I think the main concern is that this is a step towards normalizing extremely frequent price changes, a la Uber surge pricing.

Nice, I’ll definitely have to check this out. Thanks for the info!

Ooh, neato! I’ll have to give it a go sometime.

Anyone have any comparisons to Logseq? I’ve seen Logseq and Obsidian compared fairly directly, but I don’t remember seeing TiddlyWiki come up in comparisons in that arena when I was looking at it.

Then there’s the case of the pilot riding in the jump seat who had been taking magic mushrooms to deal with grief and depression, and genuinely thought the best course of action was to crash the plane. (he didn’t report his condition prior to resorting to elicit substances in fear of losing his career, which is a whole other rant. For those interested, this video goes more into that side of the story)

Granted he wasn’t flying (and didn’t try to fly, per-se), but I doubt that a single pilot could subdue someone who is tripping balls and keep a commercial airliner in the air simultaneously.

Or the many, many, many other cases that don’t make headlines in which a warm spare became imminently critical for the safety of hundreds of people (both in the air and on the ground). The reason they don’t get media attention is because “Situation on Plane Ended in the Good Way, System Worked as Intended” isn’t a headline that get clicks.

Hell, even aircraft themselves are built with redundancy for critical components. How in the fucking world could one even begin to justify not doing so for us squishy humans?

It’s not that this idea is just stupid, this idea is dangerously stupid.

2nd for Joplin. Love it to bits. It has its quirks, but they’re ones I can live with. The sync support is pretty awesome.

Been playing with Logseq recently as well. Logseq is more for knowledge management/brain dump kind of notetaking, but it’s really cool that it’s so flexible. It helps that I really like using lists in the first place

Is it common? That depends on your context. Since your particular context includes an internet connection, literacy, and living in a situation with the means to reserve space for a child that isn’t home full-time, I feel pretty confident in my estimation that it’s probably not common.

Is it harmful? No. Honestly, I think it’s pretty sweet. My only advice is to not let it stray into forbidden territory, but you seem to already have a pretty good grasp of where the line is.

I think this might be a “yes, but no” kind of thing.

Yes, these are test strips. Yes, they change color to indicate a reading. Yes, they use chemical reactions to cause that color change.

AFAIK: No, these aren’t for testing blood. No, these don’t seem to be for consumption by an electronic meter. And no, I don’t think this is what OP was asking about.

Like, there’s probably some good info, but not for this thread specifically :P

Source: Pulling it straight out of my ass, but it is informed by my limited experience with medical test equipment, and much less limited experience with electronics.

WAT.

I mean, random NFC tags, I can understand. But, isn’t advising someone to avoid QR codes obsolete by now? It was a pretty worthwhile attack vector at one point, but nowadays most phones will ask “Do you want to <handle> <contents in full>?” before actually doing anything with it…

Although, now that I think about it, it is best practice to advise to the lowest common denominator… Sometimes I overestimate users’ ability to avoid doing stupid things…

Yeah, if this isn’t possible, and it’s still in good enough condition to fix and fly, they disassemble the plane and ship it somewhere where it can be reassembled and fixed.

Very unlikely that it’s fixable, though. Only heard of a few cases where it wasn’t more economical to just write it off after a landing like that.

Another factor to consider is how much it’ll cost to actually pull that off, and if it’s not in a very accessible location (like, idk, fucking siberia or something), that adds to the cost of recovery.

If anyone wants to see this tunnel in all its glory, check out this video.

It’s really an awesome feat of engineering. I hope the repairs are swift.

As far as I’m concerned, not knowing the difference falls under the “not qualified” part of my earlier statement.

You happen to know what you’ve got, and what you’re doing? Go for it. More power to you.

Any shadow of doubt? Put the tools down, get someone who knows what they’re doing.

Also worth mentioning: if you fuck up the door trying to get into it,

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FIX A GARAGE DOOR YOURSELF!

Light percussive maintenance to bend a panel back into shape is one thing, but never ever try to take one apart if you aren’t qualified. There are dangerous springs under tension that can and will kill you.

Do votes count as activity?

Personally, I would consider that too lurker-y to count, but I could see both sides of that particular argument.

Then again, I could get off my ass and go read the fuckin code… Is my reddit refugee showing?? :P
