Once they get so crusty they can stand on their own. That’s about 8 hours in shoes, or a week next to the bed.

Seconding ThinkPad. Excellent linux support as well.

Clutch - Power Player has been stuck in my head since last night for reasons unbeknownst to me. Now it can be in yours.

I doubt these cameras can sustain that kind of uninterrupted use,

I had an old HTC phone that I used as a garage security camera for 2-3 years straight. It had to be restarted every couple months, but otherwise worked fine. Now you can get a $20 IP camera that surpasses it in every way tho.

Consent is one of the harder things to teach cats.

I leash/harness train mine. It’s nice to be able to mostly walk them around outside like dogs. Also I train them to ride on my shoulders for transportation. That way when they get too lazy to walk back to the house or I need to carry them around for any other reason I can just plop them on my shoulders and they will ride there, keeping my hands free. My neighbors probably think I’m crazy.

u/VegaLyrae’s suggestions are all excellent.

bout 10 years ago, the norm was to, from time to time, drain lithium batteries to minimum and so do a full cycle, this is something my father told me but I actually don’t know the reasoning.

Early rechargeable batteries such as nickel-cadmium and nickel-metal-hydride would develop “memory”. For example if you made a habit of always recharging the batteries once they hit 50%, the battery would think “I guess they don’t need the rest of the capacity, I’ll throw it in the trash” and you ended up with a battery with half it’s original capacity. So it became good practice to occasionally discharge them completely before recharging. Sort of a ‘use it or lose it’ scenario. Now lithium batteries do not have this issue but it took people a long time to break the habit.

I don’t think most people mind curated reposts at all. No one wants to see every reddit post copied over en masse. Well, I guess a some do, but they suck, as is covered in the post title.

That should be the installed price. There’s 100-200 in equipment and 1-2 hours shop time. Finding a competent shop is sometimes the tricky part tho.

Hell, I’d bet a local car audio shop would put you in a hidden ignition kill switch for less than $200. I installed thousands of them in the 90’s before immobilizers were semi-standard.

I don’t really know an affordable way to make it more secure

Basic car alarm goes a long way. Not only will it make a racket if they break in, but if it’s installed properly, it will also disable the ignition, making it take much longer to get started. Most joyriders and opportunistic thieves will move on. Decent alarm should be in the 200-300USD range and it may reduce your insurance by that much or more.

Nothing is going to protect it 100%, you’re just trying to make it harder to steal than the car across the street.

Duly noted.

I ate so much beef stroganoff yesterday that my sweat smells like it today. (seriously 😅)

Hopefully lemmy will roll out blocking by instance and that will solve a lot of people’s issues calling for defederation.

Honestly never heard of it.

What if they are in the middle east on vacation?

Well, an automotive engine creates a vacuum in it’s intake. We can use this vacuum to operate accessories like cruise control, door locks, or headlight shutters. We use rubber lines to pipe this vacuum around to the various accessories and sensors. With time these rubber lines start to degrade, crack, and leak, causing said accessories not to work and poor engine performance. An easy test is to rub your fingers along them, if it comes off on your skin, the lines need to be replaced. Reason the ladies get moist over fresh vacuum lines is because no one is getting laid if your hooptie won’t idle when you get to the make out spot.

If you haven’t tried it, Carlsburg Elephant is a seriously good pilsner that’s widely available.

Fun fact*: Carlsburg gave Niels Bohr a house with a tap straight from the brewery for winning the Nobel prize.

Edit: * maybe not a fact.
