A fun but of visual metaphor there, none of the vehicles she catches a ride in are fully put together or they have some oddity to them.

It's probably more fair to say that it's important to understand WHY you had that thought. Is it conditioning, a past bias against someone else, an unfair stereotype that you are perpetuating, or a lack of understanding?

I have to do this with my anger as sometimes I'm short tempered with someone only to reflect and realize that I'm angry with something else and taking out my frustrations on an undeserving bystander. I try to apologize if I catch myself doing this.

When it's bad you think "Fuck this, I can do it better by myself."

I'm torn between silence and something really happy and upbeat like PonPonPon.

The silence forces then to face their own inner demons, but the upbeat music will ruin their badass aesthetic.

I am not a lawyer. (IANAL)

You have a lot of legal right you may or may not choose to exercise. For example, if you have the right to own firearms they don't issue you a firearm just because you haven't purchased one yet.

If I recall it right, there wasn't always the concept of a public defender who could represent someone even if they couldn't afford a lawyer. You had to already have a lawyer in order to even use that right. This was eventually changed and resulted in the creation of public defenders.

From what I have heard, public defenders are really overworked and spread thin, so you may want to have a lawyer setup to represent you if you ever get into trouble with the law. I have also heard it's good to know several lawyers as the one who can help you draft a will is different than the one to help you purchase real estate and the one to keep you out of jail.

May or may not have used a conference room getting poor signal as a reason to move an access point closer to my favorite quiet bathroom.

Oh man, if only there was a commercially available grate solution for this exact type of location.

I'd wager that they next time they do maintenance to the road or sidewalk that spot gets fixed. So 10-30 years out, probably.

A few years ago a friend gave me an "Urban Shop" glitter lamp as a gift. It was a neat twist on a lava lamp that used LEDs and glitter with a motor that spun the fluid using a magnetic string bar.

While it was a great vibe, it used three AA batteries and the stirring would cycle on and off regularly causing the noise to start and stop, which I found more distracting than just leaving it on.

I found that the on-off switch was actual an on-on switch without a second connection, so I took an old USB cable and hardwired the second switch terminal so that I could power it from a power supply or batteries.

This was a drastic improvement to me, but I didn't like the cord always being attached and the motor cycling was still annoying. Eventually, the lamp ended up on a shelf for a later date.

Today, I pulled the lamp down because I finally tried ESPHome because I keep hearing about it in other people's projects and wanted to finally try the full smart conversion of this lamp. After several hours of trying to reuse the existing surface-mount LEDs and wiring, I gutted the whole damn thing and installed my own 5mm LEDs, rewired the motor, and added a button for controls and wired everything into a Raspberry Pi Pico W I had bought years ago.

Now I have a lamp that can be controlled locally from the button, can be reprogrammed from my computer without moving the lamp, can be controlled from Home Assistant, and performs exactly how I want.

I agree, Linux Mint has been well done.

I just finished a project to make my own orb and now I can contemplate properly.

They are external ports for water cooling. They allow you to run the pipes to an exterior location, and I have never seen anyone use them ever. I would leave the rubber grommet as it generally looks nicer than the hole.

Given how many people treat speed limits as suggestions, at best, having your vehicle obey the limit would turn some people off of them.

With the release of Tapo version 3.0, TP-Link integrates their two lines of smart home devices into a single application, reducing the number of apps needed to control their devices.

Additionally, the update claims improvements to the user interface, optimized camera features, a sleeker status page, and faster responses and startups.

The blow post also suggest that improvements to lighting effects, smart actions, geofencing, and a dark mode will be coming in the future.

I think the best takeaway is that I can have one less app on my phone!
