Anniversary dinner. in c/cooking@lemmy.world
[–] 6 points 1 month ago

Nice! My wife wanted rib steak on her birthday, and as she likes to say, cooked so rare a good veterinarian could bring it back to life. We eat at home if we want steak because nobody but me cooks it to her taste. At least, that's what she tells me.

    Honestly, with comments in this thread being removed by mods and the delays and prevarifications over this defederation, I'm starting to think LW is run by children.

    Do better.

    Should I tell my dad that his mistake almost cost me a fortune? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
    [–] 29 points 3 months ago

    Sometimes it doesn't always work the way it ought. You can be a professional and test your work, and there's some flaw just waiting for a little more time to fail and cost money.

    I'd tell him, but I'd mention it as a "something happened that we didn't expect but I fixed it" and not make it his fault, because it may not have been.

    He's probably too drunk to look up "Streisand Effect".

    He'll withdraw it the second he has to be depositioned. Networks should countersue immediately to keep it rolling.

    We might have bred dogs to just be constantly itchy, and their "love" is just them wanting some temporary relief from the unendurable hell of existence. (lemmy.world)

    If they pretend to be happy to see us, we'll scratch behind their ears and let them forget about the nightmare they live at all times, and secretly they hunger for our blood. But if they slake their thirst and eat our livers, there will be no one to give them scritches.

    So they play along despite their ancient hatred and maybe, just maybe, we'll give them that hard rub on the spot just above the tail. Yah, that one. Oh, god, keep doing that. Yah, do it, you sonofabitch, or I'll rip your throat out in your sleep tonight because you're no use to me anymore.

    4 channel scopes, budget. Siglent or Rigol? (lemmy.world)
     

    I don't need much more than 100Mhz but I'd like to have serial/CAN decoding. I could probably get away with a 2 channel, but it seems like a lot of the extra features like wifi control and digital channels only come on the 4 channels like the 1204X-E, plus it has some waveform generation (though maybe that's an addon?).

    Anyone have a budget model they'd recommend? The DS1504 seems like it's getting a bit long in the tooth and the price point doesn't really seem competitive with better scopes.

    Nicole Ozer Named as Electronic Frontier Foundation’s Executive Director (www.eff.org)
     

    She will be succeeding Cindy Cohn who has spent her career fighting the good fight. I was listening to an interview with her by Cory Doctorow, she's had an impressive record with the EFF, and it sounds like she wants to get back to the courtroom and leave the administration to a new generation.

    Thanks, Cindy!

    God, I hate posting a Reddit comment, but this is huge. Every claim is sourced (I have not verified personally).

    Edit: Well, Reddit does what reddit does, it's been removed. Here is a github link: https://github.com/upper-up/meta-lobbying-and-other-findings

    Installed a new kitchen sink and tap. (lemmy.world)
     

    I'm going to change the countertops soon so I wasn't super concientious about the caulking job.

    I was a little pissy about the fact that the hold downs seem like they were designed by morons that don't understand Newtons 3rd law, because when you tighten them, they just rotate until they're hard against the sink wall. And the tap still uses a nut that needs a huge basin wrench instead of what I've seen on other taps like a nut that tightens by hand and then you just use a Philips screwdriver to tighten a couple machine screws that finish the job.

    Ah well, it's in and I get to do it all over again when I order countertops.
