IndefiniteBen,

Cultists obsessed with their leader’s face?

IndefiniteBen,

The “normal” way of starting a puzzle is to start with the edges. You can find the edge pieces easier due to the flat side, which makes it a good place to start when you have many pieces.

You have to spread all the pieces out when you get them out of the box, so it makes sense to separate out the edge pieces while you’re spreading and flipping pieces.

IndefiniteBen,

Okay so in reality you don’t complete the entire frame before starting anything else. It may be 90% complete after initial sorting and flipping of pieces, so there are gaps in the border through which you can move finished portions.

Additionally, I would typically keep most of the unsorted pieces outside the frame and then build portions inside the frame.

IndefiniteBen,

It already does this. I frequently get ads for other shows when starting a show on Prime video. I can barely accept the existing ads.

IndefiniteBen,

When I had Plex play trailers, it was only ever before movies, with trailers for movies. Seeing it every time you watch an episode of a show is too much.

IndefiniteBen,

Can you expand on that? I’ve never used Linux as a daily driver, interacting with Ubuntu systems via SSH.

IndefiniteBen,

Ah yeah, I’ve never used the GUI for long enough to care how it looks, and no snap in CLI.

Good to know if my company forces my work laptop to windows 11! (I will not use an OS without a side taskbar)

IndefiniteBen,

The deflated snowman fits the scene so well!

IndefiniteBen,

Maybe it is! If something is so over-inflated that it bursts, it would probably look deflated…

IndefiniteBen,

What size do you estimate they are? Tennis ball sized?

IndefiniteBen,

Are you implying that bowl cuts weren’t cringe 20 years ago? The top will at least be in style when they are wearing it.

IndefiniteBen,

Out of all the different ways Americans pronounce words differently, hearing sodder is the only one that makes me cringe.

IndefiniteBen,

100’s. It’s easy when using a tool like tree tabs.

I have several different ongoing projects with different avenues of research and I use it like a temporary store until I organise and store them.

IndefiniteBen,

Also the related “Yes, but only we only have a low-bitrate 1080p copy of that 4K HDR movie”

IndefiniteBen,

As is the case with most groups, there are loud douchebags with extremist views (relative to the group) that give a bad impression.

IndefiniteBen,

I have a resolution joke, but I can’t read it.

IndefiniteBen,

This is Crib trestle bridge of the Columbia & Nehalem Valley Railroad at the McBride Creek, circa 1905. A source: vintag.es/…/vintage-photographs-of-incredible.htm…

Which says:

Early timber bridges had their drawbacks. Untreated lumber only lasted about 20 years and locomotives could easily cause the wood to catch fire. Collapses - rare today - were a regular occurrence on logging railroads and there are numerous accounts of train crews that regularly hopped off their slow moving locomotive as it approached a high, untrustworthy trestle, allowing it to cross before they would then run across the bridge and jump back on.

But that’s about log bridges generally, not this one. Here’s an unhelpful wiki page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crib_bridge

IndefiniteBen,

That’s Cowen, former Chief of the Genii.

Looks like he has a nice retirement.

IndefiniteBen,

you know they keep posting that you can heat a room, doing this…

No. Who is they and where are they posting it? I’ve never seen this before.

IndefiniteBen,

You’re right that robots aren’t going to be able to replace plumbers or electricians in traditional building projects.

But why can’t we change how new buildings are built so the method better suits robots. I’m sure with current technology we could design a building that could be built entirely by robots.

I don’t think it’ll happen because it will take a lot of time and money to develop such a holistic system, with no return on profit until it’s a complete system.

IndefiniteBen,

Have you tried walking to and from work every day? It can help you pretend they are different places.

You wake up and do your morning routine, then you walk around the block and start your working day when you reach your home office. Then at the end of the day walk around the block and home to mark the end of your work day.
