Fellow pool owner who has always drawn the line at “only pros do the pvc cutting”. I’d love to hear more.

Presumably Fable 5 won't be made available on GovCloud Bedrock, right now it's not [1]. However what I'm not seeing discussed anywhere are government agencies that are on commercia…

I have multiple login.gov accounts. They don’t let you change your primary email, so if you’re using corporate account and switch jobs the normal thing is to create new accounts. I…

Giving it the first full listen now. Loving it so far. Such an evolution of sound, but still clearly BoC. It will take its place amongst all the other BoC greats. Pretty emotional …

We drank plenty of Schlitz malt liquor 40s in the late 90s. They were pretty gross..

Big issue that also seems to unfortunately be more and more common is variations in sizing within the same brand and article of clothing! Different batches with minor variations of…

Our public school system here in Maryland got hit, ransom screen.

Appears to have recovered, as has bleep.com. Their bandcamp page never failed though. Just wait if they post audio previews! Although I think I'd rather wait until May 29 to hear i…

Because if you’re a vscode user up until a couple days ago you could hammer Opus 4.6 all day every day and pay nowhere close to the Claude Max plan. Many people exploited this and …

Similarly, laptop purist for the past 25 years. I so much prefer the focus of one thing on my screen at a time, and toggling between apps without having to shift eyes on a large mo…

I see everyone talking about Hyperion, so I will play up The Terror as one of my favorites. The TV series did NOT do it justice.

I like the layout of this site. However I feel it should be stated more prominently that the primary source of data are online news articles.

I only use YouTube with my watch history set to off. So there is no feed, and I only see updates from channels I actually subscribed to. If I want to see some random crap I go sear…

This generation will never experience the joy of flipping on network tv on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, seeing Shawshank on, sitting down and just watching it, even though you’v…

I feel like a lot of the pro-spider replies have never accidentally disturbed or stepped on a momma wolf spider carrying her babies on back and witnessed the pure terror that ensue…

I view this largely as a symptom of the widescale “success” of the bloated J2EE app servers in the early 2000s to mid 2010s. Your Java version and dependencies were locked in and u…

I'm going to guess the person suffers from vertigo, as have I to a small degree - particularly on the metro escalator in Rosslyn, VA (across the river from DC). The sensation occur…

Got it, thanks for replying. Sorry this happened and glad she’s ok.

As a pool owner (3 feet in the shallow end and eight feet in the deep end) and parent of a three year old plus older kids that grew up with the pool — I can not fathom allowing a f…

Most of US government runs significant workloads on AWS now and that’s only increasing. They’ve cornered govt cloud infrastructure (with Azure, GCP, etc. very far behind) so not su…

It blows my mind how many people still publicly post venmo payments, so this doesn’t surprise me actually.

In high school physics I procrastinated until the night before our egg drop competition to finally address what I was going to do. I got a medium/large size plastic tupperware cont…

Very interested and will reach out, thanks!

Proud to say that in the early-mid 2000s I was a consultant dev at NSF and worked on the research proposal submission and eval website called Fastlane. They’ve since moved the func…

This is DHS, not DOD.
