It’s also the cheapest in Europe at just under €0.08 per kilowatt-hour — less than half the EU average.

I'd be so happy with the average. That would be less than half of what we pay.

I have to give a shout to starship.

I'm in the terminal all day, and with all the context switching from interruptions and meetings, having all the terminal context in my face really helps me settle back into the groove.

Sure there are dozens of other ways to do this, but a little config for a hundred different tools, all of which is customizable, makes it a pretty easy choice for me.

I'll give a second shout for tig. Ncurses git interface with vim-like navigation makes exploring, staging, stashing, etc. super easy and way faster than the CLI. Certainly not a replacement, but a magical enhancement.

I'll nominate an underdog: Alphaville.

Basically unknown, jerks you back and forth between genres, simultaneously art house and amateur, and the main character is named Lemmy Caution. Sure he's a government agent, but he's the good guy out to destroy the mind control computer on a distant planet by pitting daughter against father.

Edit: and I forgot to mention it's in French.

so promising in the early days.

About that... Some more news did a whole episode on his career showing that he's been an opportunistic grifter this whole time.

From the CNN article:

The speech is not a filibuster because Booker is not blocking legislation or a nomination. The Democratic senator’s speech will keep the Senate floor open – and floor staff working as well US Capitol police members detailed to the chamber – for as long as he continues speaking, but lawmakers had concluded voting on Monday before he began his remarks.

So purely performative. Not a filibuster.

I mean if it's a first step and others follow, then good. But why not filibuster a nomination you disapprove? (I have no clue if filibuster applies to a cloture vote. These fucking stooges and their silly made up rules of decorum...)

Got the uppers painted and installed.

Time to find some MDF for the face frame, drawer fronts, and shelves. Which reminds me, I need a router bit for the integrated drawer pulls she wants.

I had a dream 15+ years ago where I walked onto a school bus holding a 5ft long tube of fudge striped cookies over my shoulder and Peter Jennings looked up and said "Nice strip of cookies." I was so confused, I woke up and laughed.

My first project is really coming together!

Built a set of drawers cabinets to my wife's specs for the closet. Still have uppers, face frame and overlay fronts to do, but the garage was too full to keep going.

4ft (122cm) tall bank of drawers with full extension soft close undermount slides. 88in.(222cm) wide.

Feel free to make fun of the 2x4 toe kick! Rest assured I've learned my lesson.

All cuts made with my portable DeWalt table saw after breaking down sheets with my Ryobi circular saw and a harbor freight clamp as an edge guide.

Exactly.

We cannot afford to fall victim to the Nirvana fallacy.

We must work within the system to change the system or we risk being excluded entirely.

This just in: scientists disprove validity of thought experiment; philosophers remain concerned that they've missed the point.

[-] Botzo@lemmy.world 71 points 10 months ago

Absolutely.

Sidenote: I keep seeing "xitter" being used, is it safe to assume it's pronounced "shitter"?
