Just bought a Framework 16 this past week after having a Framework 13 for awhile. Real happy with both. :)

Hey, at least your auto-repair card is getting used for auto-repair!

Mine is a shooting range membership card I haven’t been a member of for a few years now. (Just throwing this out now, thank you for the reminder!)

I know for my own needs, more than a few hours of battery life is wasted on me. If I’m using a computer for literally the entire day, there is power available.

Framework 13 Pro’s 20 hours of battery life while streaming video is damn impressive though.

MS Office works in a browser, and LibreOffice opens Word/Powerpoint files just fine. Been using LibreOffice for years while my coworkers send me files made with MS Office. It’s simply not a blocker.

Okay, so they are not road worthy then and must be prohibited from driving. It is that simple, or at least, it should be.

This is one of the reasons they only operate in a few places. Lots of jurisdictions would be more than happy to ticket and impound these cars when they fail to follow the law. Lots of revenue generation!

This opens cannabis for medial purposes; you now aren’t breaking federal law when filling your prescription. That is a pretty big deal.

Fuck yeah!

They look nice. Wear what you want.

Yep, they are in Low Earth Orbit. A place that has a very, very small amount of air, so the satellites experience drag, lose speed, eventually the propellant tanks run dry, and they burn up in the atmosphere. The ISS experiences the same thing, which is why its altitude slowly falls, then you see a sharp increase as they push to a slightly higher orbit.

At the altitude the SpaceX satellites are at, they only passively stay up for a few years. With the onboard propulsion giving them each another few years.

Love to see that even with the new pro model, you can upgrade your existing Framework 13 mainboard/other components and get the new features. Gotta hand it to Framework: A standardized hardware design works great for laptops.

To not make your commercial area look dumpy (there is a parking lot and what appears to be a multi-level parking garage right behind the panels). The owner of this commercial area isn’t going to spend 6-digits on panels just to allow their 7-digit commercial area to look dumpy.

There is a parking lot and what appears to be multi-level parking garage right behind the panels. Ain’t nobody putting goats here. The options are: pay to weed trim around thousands of supports on a regular basis or pay to gravel once.

This keeps them from having to run a weed trimmer around thousands of supports. Weed trimmers are the most annoying part of lawn care.

What were the details of the ceasefire? From what I understand, the blockades (Iran is running one too) were not part of it.

God damn is that alot of fire.

now what

You should replace it with a guardrail. Safety is no joke.

A handrail should go all the way to the top of the stairs. And a guardrail should surround the stairs so you cannot fall into them.

Edit: You are going to get destroyed during the home inspection when you sell the place. You will be putting a handrail and guardrails there at that point.

You can also add half-height sliding closets along the vertical sections of far wall there. It’s a good height for hanging clothes. Punch a hole in the wall, add a new wall further back and add sliding closet doors. Don’t forget to insulate behind your new closet.

Edit: Crawl back behind there first and verify there aren’t studs there. If so, you don’t want to cut through them without a professional telling you if they are structural or there just to back the drywall.

Nice!

Iran is blockading some traffic, notably not their own and those that pay protection.

The US is blockading some traffic, notably Iran’s traffic.

official data showed

One should not trust economic figures coming from proven unreliable sources. The best measures we have of Chinese economic activity comes from external measures of their international trade, and secondary measures like power usage, lights on at night, etc. Those measurements show China does not report real numbers, China reports propaganda numbers.

Airport renames are far from new, nor have I ever heard of someone winning a suit about the ‘unsafety’ of renaming an airport.

Edit: Damn Californians renaming Los Angeles Airport twice. How could they care so little about the safety of passengers and air crews?
