My glasses broke, and nothing would work to keep them together for now. Tired super glue, contact adhesive, epoxy, solder. Nothing worked. Finally found the combination of heat shrink and hot glue!! That'll do until I can replace them.

AI won't take software engineer's jobs. All we've done is add another high-level language for writing software, except it's no longer deterministic.

Not to mention the privacy issues with eufy (who are part of anker).

Anker has a long history of devices exploding and catching on fire... Why does anyone buy their products?

I guess it's been on the cusp of tripping since it's been installed. Useful. Thankfully the zappi let's you set the max current so I just dropped that a little for now so it charges at 6kw now. Annoyingly the company who installed it doesn't seem to exist any more.

My EV charger has started tripping the breaker at night sometimes. Just took a look at the breaker and it's 32amps... For a 32amp EV charger. Pretty sure that's supposed to be a 40amp breaker. πŸ˜’

I love it so much! I also like the thought of people getting punched playing the yellow car game πŸ˜‚

Earlier this week I created the "Who's the Pokémon" bot to Slack at work. It makes me immensely happy to see people using it, and then setting their status to the emoji for the Pokémon. 😊
