An Onn brand electric kettle from the UK with a NEMA 6-20 plug replacing the UK plug.
@techconnectify.bsky.social I daily used this UK kettle in my US apartment for most of the 2000s without any problems. It was plugged into the 6-20 receptacle for the AC. The time savings for .5 liter isn't that big of a savings, but makes a big difference when doing 1.7 liters.
Line to get into a concert with a parking lot, mountains, and a few somewhat ominous clouds.

Maybe it hurts *because* someone nearby is allomancy?
IOS screen time limits don't block creating a hotspot. I can't set screen time limits on the school provided chromebook, but I can ban it from the wifi. I think you can guess what my kid figured out how to do.

One of my talented graduate students (@breunigsophie.bsky.social) is putting together an immune-psychiatric focused symposium submission for the Behavior Genetics Association 2025 meeting in Atlanta. She needs one more talk to fill the symposium; if interested send me a message!
Comcast Business is like a whole better class of ISP. They fix problems, and no usage limits or filtering. I had to switch to Residential a few months ago because my rate plan expired and the price was tripling. 2 other fiber providers in my area, but none (yet?) at my house.
I hate when Monday falls on a Thursday. At least tomorrow is Friday. I think.
Thunderbird will work with CU's Exchange (have OIT enable imap for you if it doesn't). Different annoyances than Apple Mail, so hard to say if it's better. Tbird calendar is bad, but can be ignored.
Was there fighting? Cleaning out my Dad's pantry would alternate between him saying "keep it" for decades expired cans, and "toss it" for for perfectly good things that could go to the food bank.
ATM0 because it's late and you're supposed to be in bed, not on a BBS
I really miss the 220V kettle I used in my condo on a NEMA 6-20 AC outlet. @techconnectify.bsky.social, would it be reasonable to modify a 220V kettle with a J3400 plug so I could use it in my house?
It might just be the photograph, but it seems too many candles are lit for the first night of Hannukah.
That is exactly the way to think of it. Do I have enough charging time to cover all my miles before the next opportunity to charge?
Same question for home and road trip charging, because enough charge versus full charge is an important distinction in both instances.
Had 24A for years and it was fine. Electrical work made adding a 60A charger a low cost upgrade, and going from a 6 hour typical charge to a 3 hour typical charge is a pointless luxury. My circumstances were unique (250A panel, running conduit anyway), but I would not recommend it in most cases.
The pits of Isengard might have a vibrant food scene, and Amazon probably has a show in development about it.
Now instead of spam silently going into my spam/junk folder, I get an email from quarantine telling me that I have a spam.

Licking mats are a thing? How do you get the dogs to lick them? My dog likes to lick carpet to shreds, and an alternative would be great. I don't think it's separation anxiety, as she does it right in front of me. Probably a flavor thing. I wonder if the mays come in cat pee or snow melt?
A medium sized dog that is beige with brown spots curled up and looking over its own back. It is sitting on a dark purple couch with a white blanket.
When the dishwasher beeps at the end of its cycle the dog runs to hide in the kid's room. This has happened three times today. Unloading the dishwasher isn't even one of the dog's chores.

Even better, change the handle to a DNS domain that you own.
Screenshot of the Xfinity app showing an ad, with the text (in bold) "New! Use WiFi signals to detect motion in your home at no extra cost." (Regular weight) "Start detecting motion in minutes without relying on motion sensors or cameras." There is a black and white cartoon picture of a person reflecting WiFi waves as they walk near an Xfinity router.
Xfinity is offering to use my home wifi to detect motion "at no extra cost." Maybe a fun toy if I can be guaranteed nobody else can access the data. I do not trust Comcast, regardless of what the TOS says. I don't use the router's wifi, so it won't even work. Hope Unifi doesn't go evil.
On the old Bluesky (like a month ago), when I followed 30 people, you and a few others were my entire feed. Now I follow 300 or so, and even @brendelbored.bsky.social is one of my quiet posters, just by the volume of other people. I need to trim, but who? They're all good follows.
Part of admining Debian is learning to fix it, but apt problems are *extremely* rare on stable. However upgrading oldstable->stable or on unstable, it does happen. Caveat: there's always enough rope to short yourself in the foot, definitely can break things (unknowingly) doing something stupid.
It was a factory tour from (I don't think on Bluesky yet) www.facebook.com/DenverAreaFa... & iamamaker.org
It prompted me to start emailing the MAL to see if they wanted DECStation monitor cables or Centronics style SCSI cables. After the first few they ghosted me, which was the correct response.
In my n=1 test I found this to be true. My home PM 2.5 and 10 numbers shot up when I put an ultrasonic humidifier in the same room as the sensor. A wicking filter humidifier does not increase the particle count.
If I stay up too late trying to resurrect a Palm Pilot, it's your fault.
Get a static IP, name it after you lab, get a firewall exception for port 443, get an SSL certificate, setup a webserver there, and promise not to store any personally identifiable information on it, and they won't be able to stop you! We don't have a subdomain, just a hostname.
It is good to see. I got a call about it Friday morning, asking how I validated @ibg.colorado.edu without DNS access (web based auth). I can't completely say both things are related, but I can say I was glad the call wasn't to yell at me for using colorado[.]edu on Bluesky without asking.
