[–] 4 points 4 days ago

Did a senior paper 20 years ago marrying the concepts of naturalistic and normative epistemology.

The takeaway was that it doesn't matter if you can't actually prove that you know or don't know anything. You have to live and have always lived as if you can/do know things.

    Looks like a softail, let's say it's a recent one with the Milwaukee eight 107 that has a stroke of 4.374 inches.

    1 mile = 5280ft = 63,360in / 4.374in = 14,486 strokes.

    Never did have to deal with a carbureted vehicle with EGR. Lucky me I guess!

    4 CV (vacuum operated) carbs on a 30 year old inline 4 cylinder bike is where I topped out. There were definitely several dark magic ceremonies required to get those to run well (at all throttle positions). God forbid you want to change the intake setup.

    That said, bike carbs are way simpler than on cars.

    This suggests to me that you have not dealt with a 4 carb setup on a 4 cylinder bike before.

    Never fucking again.

    Unless I stumble on a cherry CBX1000. I'd make an exception for that glorious 6-cylinder monstrosity.

    I finally gave up my Nvidia 2070 Super and rejoined Team red with a 9070 XT. And it's like this is the way everything was always meant to be.

    HDR works without breaking font rendering. Sleep states just work. No more random border flickering in fullscreen or borderless windows. And the fans never even spin up.

    I did have to unwind a couple Nvidia workarounds to swap over successfully (like /etc/environment needed cleaning up for sddm-greeter-qt to not core dump).

    No ragrets.

    No regerts.

    Team red 4lyfe (again).

     

    Installed a 40amp circuit for the EVs after charging a PHEV for 5 years and a BEV truck for almost a year on a single 15amp circuit.

    50ft x 8 AWG x 4 wires isn't cheap ($1.32/ft with tax), plus conduit, straps, breaker, wet location boxes and outlet cover and the extra cost for an EV rated outlet.

    Wasn't room between the post and the garage door king stud for a flush mount box, oh well.

    I'll pay the electrician for a proper hard-wired charger when we upgrade service and run it from the main panel instead.

    Fixed the toaster (lemmy.world)
     

    I took the toaster apart and cleaned the contacts for the lever that signal the hold down while toasting. Now we don't have to stand there and hold it (that was 3 morning routines slightly out of order).

    I had to buy a set of special bits because someone decided they needed to use security torx bolts in the corners hidden under the feet. This was of course in addition to the 14 regular old #2 Phillips screws. But it's always nice to have a reason to get new tools.

    In other news, the clean signal started flashing on on the espresso machine today, so I have another little project for tomorrow too.
