It's hundreds or thousands of dollars for a small jar.

The point of NIST foodstuffs is to test industrial equipment / cleaning chemicals / etc. against a standard, not to eat. IIRC Tom Scott has a video about'm.

Maybe commercial MQTT? From the wiki it seems like mostly an intermediary protocol to get disparate things working on the same system. Their site is pure marketing garbage for explaining anything about it though.

Agreed.

They're also not materially different from Instagram or Youtube. Singling them out as "the problem" is short-sighted at best.

Had the same experience and opinion for years, they do fine on Backblaze's drive stats but don't know that I'll ever super trust them just 'cus.

That said, the current home server has a mix of drives from different manufacturers including seagate to hopefully mitigate the chances that more than one fails at a time.

TikTok is shady in how much info it collects and how tailored the feeds it shows people get.

It is not unique about either of those.

Facebook/Google/et. al. being on this coast instead of that coast doesn't mean they shouldn't have exactly the same scrutiny. Literally the only evidence offered that TikTok was in any way special was "we can't tell you but there's classified info that means we should ban it." Which is less than encouraging that the ban is for anything other than because of 'those dang kids' being annoying.

A scope limits your field of view. It makes it easier to hit far away things moving relatively slowly/predictably.

It would be the opposite of helpful against a fast/close small target. There's a reason duck hunters use shotguns.

Was expecting this again. Still relevant.

That would mean ~360 timezones globally. More if you didn't simplify to a single degree.

Coordinating is enough of a pain across timezones without having to worry (much) about minutes.

Thats the one in California, the one in Vegas has drivers and is between the convention center and a hotel.

IIRC their peak capacity estimates do things like assume loading/unloading times for a family of 4 with luggage to be under 30 seconds too.

That can't be true.

Oh yeah the Rock Paper Scissors thing was well over a year ago. Just another leap in the direction of "podcaster" being first on the wiki.

A Radler is a German thing, shandy in English. Basically half lager half lemonade. Fantastic light drink. I've seen them at Total Wine in a few flavors.

Beer cocktails are a thing. Drink what you like.

Prost.

Those Peak Design backpacks are pretty nice.
