Good Republicans don’t stay Republican for long

For me, each step seems to have corresponded with hearing a new piece of advice and gradually learning to apply it.

For example, “don’t play hope chess” or “don’t force your opponent to make a good move” were both things that I had to work at, but once they clicked, my competency felt a lot better. And each thing only made sense once I was at a point to understand it and ready to start applying it.

“'ow about we add some vinegah—”

You can ask the same question without the xenophobia.

According to a quick search, camels can carry up to 990lbs, or about 450kg. A plastic straw weighs about 0.5g. So… about 900,001 straws.

Also in English, there’s Rosa, Marigold, and Iris (though Marigold might be a color rather than a flower?)

I’ve been daily driving CachyOS for probably a year or two now? And it’s been pretty solid for just about everything.

It doesn’t feel like Arch as much to me. A gui package manager, easy-to-use optimized packages, and most things working easily out of the box make it feel more like Mint without all the extra default applications (which I prefer). There’s lots of room to tinker, but I don’t do much of that, and it runs great.

Depending on how you interpret it, it’s similar to Christian Nationalists’ slogan: “fuck 'em”

I use Notepad++ for coding daily. I’m not a fan of things like autocomplete, and the times I need to look up a definition, the search is fast enough to make up for a lack of indexing. And the regex implementation is great.

Something like this:

Like I said, just make sure the latch hardware has enough clearance from the wall and you should be able to fit a 34" door in there. If you needed a 36" door, you’d probably have to either tear up the existing walls, or otherwise have something that looks a lot more weird.

You need the knob side to stick out enough for the latch to not hit the wall, but putting the jamb against the (finished) wall surface should be enough. Then use something like quarter-round as trim to hide any gap left from shimming the door.

You might want to bring a long level and see how plumb and even that opening is. The trim work will look worse if there’s a lot of variation in that wall, or if it’s not vertical. In that case, depending on how much you care about the appearance, you could tear off the drywall and adjust or shim the studs to have a better wall to work from.

If you end up with the trim looking uneven because of variation in the wall, you can paint the wall, trim, and jamb all the same color to make it less noticeable. It doesn’t look the best when you do that, but it might be preferable to seeing wobbly trim. And for a basement unit, it’s probably fine.

Might have the same issues as the barn door, but something like a pocket door might help maximize the width (assuming you don’t need access to that door under the other stairs). It would at least be a little better for noise.

For a more “standard” door, you could basically just install the door jamb right up to the existing wall. It would be tricky to trim it nicely, but you’d only need about an inch of space on each side that way. And if you’re careful, you can make it so the door can open almost a full 180 degrees into the basement to make it easier to move furniture.

Your other option for gaining space is removing the drywall/plaster from the wall of the stairs and replace it with paneling or something else thinner. Could get an extra half or three-quarter inch maybe?

Replace “AI” with “blockchain” and it’s almost copy-paste from a few years ago.

Many people rightfully recognize that LLMs can be a useful tool in certain situations. But just like every other over-hyped tech buzzthing from the last two decades, it’s overblown. And given the side-effects (like the environmental and social impacts) it’s perfectly reasonable people would want to reject it outright.

Also getting hit broadside by a horse traveling 70mph does it too.

You made the right choice. I was treated with more respect when I was flipping burgers in college.

Anything that custom-fits something. I do a bunch of functional prints, mostly things that are specific to something I own. I printed my wife a phone holder sized to fit her phone and case, I printed wall mounted holders for my remote and keyboard for my HTPC, and I recently upgraded to a larger printer that I used to create custom drawer organizers that fit exactly the things I need. I’ve also used it to print replacement parts for things, replacements for missing pieces, etc.

It’s possible, but there are plenty of reasons an SD card can be slow. Not necessarily going bad.
