I would not call people who bought this stuff "investors". While I don't really like investment bankers, this would even insult them.

On the other hand: good. Idiots got deprived of the means to do more stupid things.

Who the fuck is Johnson? Does his president have an 84% approval rating?

If a countries policy aligns with the Kremlin, it can be considered a vassal state like Belarus, or now, the US.

The only thing an IQ test actually tests is your ability to do IQ tests.

Won't work. Too many people don't care about politics enough to even go to the voting every few years. How can you expect a significant amount of the population to involve in everyday politics, enough not to let control slip into the few hands paid for doing this for their masters?

Maybe words like "Climate Change" are too dangerous for youthful ears in the US. It might give them ideas that something might be ... off in their country.

Coward. Like every rightwinger when people don't love them.

This is not how this works. One day in the future, when quantum computers have matured enough to do something actually useful instead of just quantum benchmarks, they still will not be general purpose systems.

The situation will be more like video cards at the moment: it would be a subsystem doing something very specialized and limited, being controlled by a driver handing over certain jobs from the OS of the real processor.

Ah, OK. I was too adult to care about Ace Ventura back then.

For getting them used to subsidies, that Trump takes away to make them great again. Probably something like that. But they only need to get lucky once per Representative, the bodygards need to be lucky all the time.

Correct. And it can transfer to humans, where it is then known as Creutzfeldt-Jakob, with the same results. One of those medical topics that make me really shudder when thinking about it.

 
  1. Januar 1933: Paul von Hindenburg: "Wenn er erst mal Reichskanzler ist, haben wir ihn unter Kontrolle"

  2. Januar 2025: Friedrich Merz: "Wir werden nächste Woche in den Deutschen Bundestag Anträge einbringen, die ausschließlich unserer Überzeugung entsprechen. [...] Und wir werden sie einbringen, unabhängig davon, wer ihnen zustimmt."

 

Because you now did it to yourself.

 

My problem: I want to create an inventory of my parts. For that I need data I could look up on BL. Sadly, my storage has no internet whatsoever, so I need an offline solution.

I have found the LDRAW library inside the Studio installation, which gives me the parts and their design. They contain the name of the part, too, but only as a comment, and I have yet to verify if this is consistent. I think I could rig a software that renders me the picture as I need it for my application, so that's that.

But there are other files inside the Studio installation, and I wonder if there is a way to find the following information from this:

  • BL Category (Like "Brick" or "Plate Modified")
  • LEGO part numbers and colors that exists for a certain design
  • Parts Weight

I don't need any rapidly changing data like price or availability.

Has anyone here done this, or knows a software that does this?

 

Sounds easy? Well, it should have been. I'm not talking about a "Hello, World!" (although it is more or less on the same level for me). The goal was to write a set of three MQTT clients that properly talk with each other and interact nicely.

So I had to learn Python and MQTT on the same day. Should not be an issue after 40 years of programming. But it quickly turned out that the Python library/package for MQTT on Ubuntu was heavily outdated (1.6), and did not supply all the functions the documentation and examples (2.0) asked for. Using pip3 didn't work, as it complained that the package structure was maintained by the OS. In the end, I had to virtualize the python3 system and pip3 the 2.0 package there and run it.

After about three hours, I had the clients working as they should. Yes, I think MQTT is a good base for the next project.

 

I was just wondering. There was or is a mediawiki group on Reddit, but so far I could not find one here.

 

The new Eldorado Fortress is listed at €214.99. Is it just me, or is this set much to expensive for what it is? When I saw it, I thought "Maybe €150, €170 tops", and was shocked when I heard the real price.

I know (who doesn't?) that LEGO is not cheap, but this is not a Starwars set, it is 100% their own IP.
