We don’t need desert farms in California.
Imperial Valley uses 3.1M acre-feet of Colorado River to grow lettuce in 110°F sand.
Insane.

Shift winter veggies to Alabama greenhouses + humanoid robots:
- 1/10th the water
- 1/4 the land
- Robots pay for themselves in 6 months

@blind_via No matter how bad it is, it can't possibly be as bad as it was 20 years ago. This sort of thing could be entirely demoralizing back when.

@rfleury PulseAudio or PipeWire?

@BitcoinCoderBob Loctite superglue gel with the buttons does not do this. Also, those tiny little single use packs of several tubes are also nice. I used to hate this fact of life, also.

@thedawgspodcast He was never good. NEVER. Garbage time stat prodigy and nothing else.

@tafokints To me this game at the time had the perfect balance of difficulty and clues embedded within itself to complete the game without using a guide. I don't understand the sentiment that "most people used a guide". Most people I knew that had this game then did not need a guide.

@i2cjak Mesa boards are xylinx fpga devices. And can be reprogrammed via the common tools.

@i2cjak Okay I'll play along. It does not have *a task manager because there is more than one choice.

@iam_olatunde112 @PythonPr I mean reasonable answer for a dynamically typed language. Not for a statically typed language.

@i2cjak I think just building a shed/office, would have been easier than what I did today. Which is tear out a hot tub in the breeze way. The work wasn't hard, but I'll be picking out fiberglass from my skin for the next week or so.

@sierracatalina For some reason this reminded me of back in college when certain people would call someone foolish a tool. Like hey LLM, you're such a tool.

@HIROAKI_IIZUKA Odd I was feeling inspired by Aphex Twin this morning too.

[PurpleFraction @PurpleFraction]

@HIROAKI_IIZUKA Love that track.

@blind_via Holy cow, it's hard to believe that some places still don't have smart meters. I remember working on those like almost 15 years ago now.

@takeo_watanabe Love the ambient sounds. It takes me back to the days of listening to Autechre and early Aphex Twin in the 90's. Even better now with today's equipment. I need to get a sp404.

@i2cjak So that means a multidisciplinary Engineer who can do all three is what? An ego maniac? Lol.

@djshinga719 Nice setup! This is all I own apart from the MC-307 which is old and not shown.
