Check out the overlay filesystem. I'm using it for one pi and have had the same SD card for years. I don't know if it'll work for pinole, but may get you thinking in a new direction.

Sometimes I think you're right. Other times I think that couldn't possibly be true.

I've studied many of the bigger wars and they've all mostly have been started by far less severe events. It's scary that one person could wield all that power, unchecked and unaccountable.

It sounds like it's time to build a bunker.

Probably not, but it could open up a whole new set of business possibilities for creative Canadians. As the article points out, building repair kits for cars & tractors to sell world wide or selling printer ink bypass kits or mandating in country app stores.

I'm no economist, but I don't think this will offset the cost of the US tariffs to everyday Canadians, but it will steal profits from US companies who will cry to uncle trump that Canada's stealing their lunch money. He may reconsider the tariffs.

If I had my way, Canada would also make a statement that US copyright works are not copywritable in Canada, so copy & distribute to the world. Worst case, Canadians get free US music, movies & software. Best case, concerned US companies establish a presence in Canada and pay taxes, bring jobs, etc.

Depending on what your question is asking, search around for Steve Forbes Flat Tax or Ross Perot Flat Tax.

I may have this wrong, but I recall Steve Forbes was proposing to decomplicste the IRS tax codes and implement a flat IRS income tax. In other words, remove the tax brackets and have everyone pay a fixed percent regardless of income.

Similarly, I recall Ross Perot propose that the US remove income tax completely and instead charge a flat tax on purchases (sales tax). If memory serves, it was 13% (inn, addition to state and local sales taxes).

In my uneducated opinion, both of these seem like good ideas at first. Who wouldn't want a simpler tax code? Upon deeper inspection, I feel like both plans would favor wealthy Americans more than "the average Joe". As said in other posts here, the wealthy report having less income through deductions and other financial wizardry and the unrich spend a greater percentage of their income on day to day expenses.

Canada's boss move is to remove the intellectual property laws that the US asked for and let Canadian companies and consumers thrive again.

Canada shouldn't retaliate with US tariffs

OK, since you mentioned the media, putting "gate" after any government scandal. Nixon's scandal was involving the Watergate Office Building.

The solution ended up being a setting on the printer that was overriding the firmware setting. I found the answer here.

In case anyone is having the same problem, It seems that the settings stored in the printer overwrides the FILAMENT_RUNOUT_DISTANCE_MM in the firmware. So I just went the the printer configuration -> advance configuration -> filament and then I changed the runout distance and stored the settings.

Good arguments. Fun fact: My first accident occurred when I was looking over my shoulder to change lanes. The road was also sheer ice.

Yes. Me. I was taught that the mirrors were supposed to be aligned with the sides of the car. You're supposed to look over your shoulder to change lanes and not rely on the mirrors.

Similarly, adding gadgets to cars is not a substitute for a car with well designed visibility. I've driven so many (rental and test drives) cars where I can't see out well. Many of the manufacturers will just throw in electronics as the answer.

Fun fact, many of the external sensors don't work well in winter driving conditions, especially freezing drizzle.

I'm having difficulty backing into parking spots with the mirrors set this way, too. I don't do it too often, and I was hoping someone here had a solution.

[–] r0ertel 13 points 2 weeks ago

Good point on motorcycles. I still look over my shoulder for lane changes, probably out of habit now.

 

The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) published a paper in 1995 suggesting how outside mirrors could be adjusted to eliminate blind spots. This article expands on that paper.

I switched a few months ago. It took a while to get used to it, but I feel like I have a better picture of what's happening around me.

Have you tried this? Did you switch back?

 

I'm wondering if anybody has this working on their printer.

I have an Ender 3 Pro (v1.5) with the Creality v4.2.2 board. It's mostly stock. I'm looking to add the BigTreeTech Smart Filament Runout Sensor (v1.0). It's installed (plugged into the main board, not LCD), but will trigger a runout after a few minutes of a test print and then it seems to go into a loop where it triggers a runout after a few seconds of restarting. I've recompiled the firmware (Marlin) from these instructions. I saw a post on Amazon indicating that the cable needs rewiring, but can't find it anymore.

Before I go rewiring anything, I was wondering if anybody has this working in their setup and if they did anything different than the instructions.

I'm using the Marlin 2.1.2.5 config and updated the following config items:
FILAMENT_RUNOUT_SENSOR
FILAMENT_RUNOUT_DISTANCE_MM 7
FILAMENT_MOTION_SENSOR
NOZZLE_PARK_FEATURE
ADVANCED_PAUSE_FEATURE

3 ingredient Queso (pinchofyum.com)
 

I just joined after seeing another post. The attached is my go-to queso chip dip. It's also an ingredient in the crunch wrap. I like this recipe over the more complicated ones since I always have the shelf stable ingredients on hand and it mixes up in less than minute.

 

Does anybody here self-host a mail-by-proxy solution? If so, I'm interested to hear about your setup, experiences and any drawbacks. I have a custom domain and a hosted email service with a very small amount of storage. I'd like to host something locally so that I can keep all my email without stressing about the space. I also want to be able to use email on my phone and computer and a web interface for tablets or while traveling. Finally, I'd like emails that I send to be stored locally so I can search it. Does anybody else already do something like this? I can forge my own path, but oftentimes, somebody else is already doing it better.

 

How do you manage the distribution of internal TLS network certificates? I'm using cert-manager to generate them, but the root self-signed certificate expires monthly which makes distribution to devices outside of K8s a challenge. It's a PITA to keep doing this for the tablet, laptop and phones. I can bump the root cert to a year, but I'm concerned that the date will sneak up on me. Are there any automated solutions?
