Can you give more context to where the phrasing is used? Coming from a computer science angle, there are different data types for different things. For instance, you would use a "float" (floating point) data type to store a number like 7.12. Likewise, you use an "int" to store a whole number (such as 7). Because computers use a certain number of bits to store information, this means there's a max size to your data. int data types specifically have a "signed int" option as well as an "unsigned int" (the latter being a non negative integer). The benefit there is that by not storing a sign, the int can store numbers about 2x as large as a signed int.

If I dont need to ever store a negative value, I might explicitly call out that when writing out an algorithm

Yeah, wee beastie was a fun one. Its a unique bottle in ardbegs lineup for sure. I found it a lot more spicy and pepper-y if memory serves me correctly

A prion is just a misfolded protine that has some adverse behavior that your body can't detect (there's a mechanism that if your body identifies a malformed protine, it will terminate the cell making it). Anyway, prions live in this small region in a Venn diagram whereits can't be detected, but can still replicate and cause harm.

We mostly think of prion diseases (like mad cow) affecting the brain, but I dont think prions are isolated to the brain... Prion deseases happen to involve the brain a lot because a misbehaving protine in your brain will have a lot more apparent effects

Rhasspy. Idk if rhasspy3 is out fully, but I would wait for that and then set it up. (I have began to see the home assistant side being released - its supposed to tie in a lot better than rhasspy2, and even brought the dev on to the HA project)

Significantly better code gen, but not to the point where it can make an application on its own. I tried using it for an embedded esp32 based project for fun, and while it could create mqtt support, the code for setting up WiFi / a small web backend / some HTML for a front end... It struggled with the application logic. Either way, it got about 70% of the way there

iFixIt has some pretty comprehensive sets... I probably use 5-10% of the bits... But thats also kind of the point, right? You go for them when you run into a "what the fuck is this shit" kind of fastener, and then you probably won't use it again for another few years.

I would recommend getting some longer torx bits that can go in a drill / impact gun, since those are the more common "odd" fasteners you run into, and the short ones for screwdrivers dont give you a lot to work with if you chuck them in a drill

Highly recommend a soda stream, or soda stream alternative. My go to is 4 or 5 drops of lime juice in a glass, then the carbonated water. Tastes identical to the canned stuff, but way cheaper (and maybe less preservatives? Idk if the canned water has anything besides fruit juice and water)

I also occasionally like root beer if I'm eating something junky like a pizza slice or burger. I bought a bag in a box of syrup from the small root beer brand I enjoy, and can make my own for a few cents instead of a few bucks per bottle. Plus, I can control the concentration depending on how sweet my sweet tooth is feeling that day

The best part now though... If something breaks and you need to do some disassembly to fix it, you have the confidence to do it. Same goes for making any mods

Doesn't help for this (or the next) oil change... But look into a fujimoto drain plug. Its a mini ball valve that is spring loaded (so you have to press the leaver up before you can turn it... Also has a 2nd safety in the form of a plastic clip that prevents it from being pressed up). Makes oil changes so easy. For your bike, it might still be too recessed, but the valve has a hose barb on it too so you can direct the oil into the drain pan

Batman? I believe it was a mesh protocol

But... He linked a Firefox extension... Which is keeping support for v2 api calls as well
