Just retired a digital ocean droplet with 8 years of uptime. Found relics of so many past projects and people while archiving it. It was a surprisingly melancholy experience.

@i2cjak I’ve been slowly noodling on a preamp for cryogenic transport measurements. 1nA/sqrt(Hz) class. BPI Sp1004 as a sort of reference. Is this something you might review for your channel?

@michaelcurzi Cut it out with the cheesy jokes

@MorlockP @freestatepty What’s happening at 6pm if the interview is 7pm?

@michaelcurzi Do you eat eggs?

@michaelcurzi This is too real. It’s a constant battle against entropy and wherever it is socks go when they leave our domain.

I should buy some more socks…

@michaelcurzi Cover is super Aladdin we have at home vibes.

@SebAaltonen Does the theme include a boss/goal/planned obstacles? Or is more the setting?

@michaelcurzi I feel like this wouldn’t be that hard depending on how well the rest of the gathering resists the urge.

But if everyone did this and had to uber home that would be a comedic setup.

@michaelcurzi Ah the tradition of drilling a hole with a cordless drill in a 2x4 (actually 1.5x3.5) and filling it with a lit candle. Really connects you with the past.

At least they are all the same color temp.

@AskYatharth This could be a @michaelcurzi post. Particularly the photo

@MorlockP What are those organs next to the knives, are they what I think they are?

@michaelcurzi Bread? Imagine fish or raw steak. A bloody cheese knife

@MechanicalDao @shlevy I think this is very possible. But salience is increasing in my bubble, so I have some hope it can be addressed.

An interesting thing is when bail reform was happening I was/am very much pro. The process can certainly be the punishment when your life is disrupted by jail time. However, I don't know how that turned into repeat violent offenders being released with no or very low bail. Perhaps some equity/social justice got mixed in and pushed too far.

It seems this is underdamped and now we need a correction back the other way. Not necessarily a failure of the process (though all the extra victims might disagree).

To me it looks like these non-flashy elected officials (DAs, judges) have a substantial amount of leeway in enforcement and sentencing. A small and efficient amount of election money went a long way here towards getting lenient people in these positions.

So there is the electoral solution in simply electing people to these positions that tighten up.

NC is doing something with Iryna's law (probably just theatre) that will make these officials responsible in some way for the actions of "improperly released" individuals. If this worked it would be less democratic and so less resistant to elections. I hope the electoral approach would work as it's less permanent.

@MechanicalDao @shlevy An interesting point here, i think the old 🇺🇸 answer here is more libertarian old west self-defense. That might work in some states but not all. Basically your pillar people.

[carbonash @CarbonAsh]

My impression is that the problem isn't the arrests. It's the catch and release (either immediately due to bail, or after shorter-than-optimal times for repeat offenders). This is a relatively new problem related to DA enforcement. This is also a bit of a narrative so it's possible I've been incepted here, but I feel pretty confident.

Lets get the long tail of people with 10+ arrests off the street.
