Same, I loved that show. None of my friends remember it though 🤷‍♂️

Thanks!

Got any more pixels? I wanna read it

The recent Interstella 5555 “remaster” was also done with AI, and a lot of people really hate it. Myself included.

Not because “AI bad!”, but just because it sucks. Lots of errors, and loss of the original vibe and texture.

I’ve been neglecting to change the front blades on our car, the drivers side is kind of bad.

I need to order the inexpensive blades online, but keep forgetting.

But tonight, I put on a brand new pair I had in storage for our other car. They’re an inch or two too short, but it’s way better than it was. I think I’ll order the right pair right now.

You could always move out to the country and raise your own cows, just a few, for the milk and occasionally meat. Get some chickens too, for endless eggs.

Farm a small plot of land to feed them.

Get a big freezer, resign yourself to eating meat monthly instead of weekly or daily, and you’ll be set for life with minimal impact on the environment.

That’s fair. Simplicity is key. But to be honest, mine only sounds complicated. Really it’s similar. Push button on toaster oven, push button to microwave half a chicken patty, toss some cheese on a tortilla, slap it all in the toaster oven and walk away. Come back a few minutes later and it’s ready to go 🤷‍♂️

Classic

The can weighs 51g full, that’s 19g for the can and 32g for the fuel. The can is 37% of the weight of the whole system.

Conversely, the smallest normal canister you can buy weighs 215g full, 102g of which is the can, and 113g is the fuel. The can is 48% of the weight of the whole system.

The savings isn’t that much, but it’s technically there, and it’s interesting. My plan is to bring it on an overnight or two night summer trip to get some laughs from my friends, but I’m not sure I’ll use it much more than that.

I’m getting into alcohol stoves too, maybe I’ll bring this as a backup? 🤷‍♂️

Well, yes and no. Usually they are filled with 1,1-Difluoroethane, which is heavier than butane, and I believe has a very very low global warming potential.

However, some of them do ship with butane as the propellant, if you look closely.

This one, however, I refilled with butane.

Before anyone says it, yes I understand the risks of refilling canisters, especially off label like this. I’ve done tons of research and due diligence, taking into account the different vapor pressures and molecular weights of the gases. As well as leaving plenty of safety margin in the headspace in the can. I’m well below the safety margin of the can even when it had difluoroethane in it, let alone the fact that it could handle significantly more.

Bruce, is that you?

Drain Cleaning Australia YouTube channel is the only place I’ve heard that expression haha

I don’t care for skins left on russets, but red or yellow is definitely the way to go. Plus you save time not skinning 👍

Thanks!

Thanks!

Too much sugar, not enough protein. My wife is borderline diabetic. She’s not technically, but sugar can make her feel funny, especially too much, and especially in the morning.

It sounds technical, and to a degree it is, but only because I’ve described it in detail. Honestly it only takes me minutes to do, then she has hot cheap breakfast to go 👍

Right!? I’ve lived here my whole life, so it’s normal for me. But when we had friends in to visit from a coastal state, the waves were big, and they were amazed. They kept forgetting it wasn’t the ocean, and they loved that they didn’t have to rinse off the salt afterwards 😁

Yeah it’s crazy, the Mackinac bridge is like 5 miles long, no foot traffic allowed except for one day of the year when thousands of people get together and walk across it.

It’s the same body of water, one lake. It’s just massive, and surrounds the lower peninsula of Michigan, so they gave each side of the lake a different name.

Truly it’s massive, it behaves almost like the ocean in a lot of ways. A lot of water.

Thanks for the write-up!

I see now I was conflating zfs with RAID in general. It makes sense that you could have the benefits of a checksumming filesystem without the need for RAID, by simply restoring from backups.

This is a great start for me to finally get some local backups going.

Can you explain this to me better?

I need to work on my data storage solution, and I knew about bit rot but thought the only solution was something like a zfs pool.

How do I go about manually detecting bit rot? Assuming I had perfect backups to replace the rotted files.

Is a zfs pool really that inefficient space wise?
