Front-loaders usually restrict you from opening the door before they’re drained, or else some idiot would flood their apartment.

You wouldn’t be able to lift the door without the spring acting as a counterweight. It’s usually a big roller just above the doorway on the inside (right near where the track curves in) with cables that run down to the bottom door panel.

So yeah, huge spring under constant tension.

EDIT: oh you said “sploof” so I glanced over it. Seems the term “spoof” (as in to fake) has been telephone’d by stoners over the last 20 years because I’ve never heard “sploof” in my life. Sounds like some Rick & Morty shit.

Original post: Build a spoof, homie.

Take a plastic coke bottle, poke holes in the bottom about 1/8” across, in each of the feet

Stuff that bitch fulla dryer sheets

Blow your hits through it

Now it smells like you used fabreeze for bong water but at least it’s not blatant

Yeah, parler, gab, and voat…

This. I love the science SpaceX is doing. I love the EV momentum Tesla created (even if their own products are proving to be less than stellar, no pun intended).

Musk is a huge tool though.

If “Xitter” is pronounced “shitter” then I can finally get behind the rebrand

The real heros are the creators who blog their scripts and link them in the description of the video 🥹you da real mvp

If the Dino game isn’t in Chromium then it belongs to Google and is absolutely protected by their copyright.

Not even journalists understand IP law these days. They’re like “the patent was filed so that competing products could be DMCA’d” 🤦‍♂️

Hey, I don’t have any information about Indonesia specifically; all I’m saying is that if you ask someone if the country they live in is fascist, you’ll get one of three “no”s:

1. They’ll say no, because it isn’t.
2. They’ll say no, because it is but they like it, and they know what a bad connotation the word has.
3. They’ll say no, because it is and they don’t like it, but they know what a ban connotation the word has and they don’t want to be locked up for it.

k8s have a steep learning curve comparatively. With Docker you just install the Docker package and it’s off to the races. With k8s you need to know basically how Docker works, know how the layers it adds on top work, and define everything using YAML config files to get things up and running. The networking is complicated (but flexible), the storage isn’t straightforward (it’s designed to work with large-scale solutions like S3 or Ceph, so setting it up even for local “folder” storage requires more moving parts). Even bootstrapping a new installation requires many steps to install all the pieces you need.

Don’t get me wrong it’s awesome, but if you don’t already know it, it doesn’t have many advantages for small installations over Docker which is very much “run docker-compose on this file you downloaded and the thing you want sets itself up”.

While there are tools like Helm or Portainer to assist you, you still have to understand it to make it work.

Can’t the newer ones take off and land as well?

The defendant is liable as a perpetrator because it makes its DNS resolver available to Internet users and, through this, it refers to the canna.to service with the infringing download offers relating to the music album in dispute,” the Court wrote.

Scary, since this could essentially establish a precedent that anyone who hosts DNS must concede to these types of demands. That includes Google, Meta, Verizon, CloudFlare, and every ISP on the planet. As well as the root servers.

Fuck that noise.

“Ask all the people in the country who would never say that out loud about their country as they’re under duress as saying that about their country will get them killed in their country”

Yeah, good plan

In a vacuum that’s true, but auto makers seem to want to move away from stuff like Apple CarPlay to their own OEM systems, usually of questionable quality and, I assume, much easier to add subscriptions to.

Hence enshitification.

• The PRQL compiler is written in Rust
• We talk about “orthogonal language features” a lot

LOL spot on tho

YT algorithm favors videos that are at least 10 minutes (they fit more ads in) so those get recommended more. As a result, runtimes get padded with fluff so you get recommended to more viewers.

Let’s put it this way: if you stepped into a teleporter, the last think you’d ever experience is being disassembled. Doesn’t matter if it hurts or whatever. It just goes black. You die. You, YOU, will never see the other side. You won’t be the one to come out; it’s a clone of you.

Even if it is the very same atoms, the very same dendrites and synapses, reassembled perfectly.

Your clone will think it’s you and it will go “oh wow, it DOES work”. It’ll know your mother. It’ll bang your wife. It has your degree in Computer Science or whatever. And it even has all your experiences up to and including the moment the teleporter turned on.

But it’s not you. You blinked out of existence, your experience ended. You ended the self, and a new self was born at the other end, endowed with everything that encapsulated you previously.

Nah, I’m good.

That’s not what quantum entanglement means, but either way, you die when you step into the teleporter. Some clone that thinks it’s you on the other side lives out the rest of your days. There aren’t two ways about this.

If they could make a portal that bent space time so that origin and destination were “next to” each other, I’d consider it.

Anything that has to take me apart and put me back together is just creating a copy of me, my consciousness would not be continuous no matter what illusion we put the clone under.

So no, fuck teleportation.
