10 IF NOTHING CHANGES:
20    NOTHING CHANGES
30 GOTO 10

Chlorine also is degraded by UV, which is why pools usually maintain some level of CYA which acts as a stabilizer to a certain degree. CYA is naturally present in granulated chlorine (dichlor) but not in liquid chlorine (bleach), which is why the “dichlor to bleach” method starts with dichlor for a while to built a reserve of CYA, before switching to bleach. Too much CYA decreases the effectiveness of chlorine, so keeping it around 30 ppm is optimal.

Writing this got me wondering what the fine folks at TroubleFreePool think about this whole debacle… https://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/lincoln-memorial-reflecting-pool.325291/

Some Canadian stoners in the mid 2000s still hadn’t managed to work out fractions smaller than 1/4, apparently. “I’m picking up a half quarter,” they’d say, to announce their procurement of an eighth ounce of cannabis.

You can pop out threads with a command click in Slack, but I don’t know if you can change that to the default behaviour.

In case anyone reading this didn’t know: direct sunlight can cause your VR headset lenses to act like a magnifying glass, burning your precious LCD in a moment, if the light hits it right.

Hopefully this is the time that appeasement really works.

WTF are the metal looking pipes sticking out of the lawn?

I’m pretty sure those are natural gas meters. Around here they’re usually tucked out of the way, against the house, often with a protective pole to prevent a car from crashing into it and causing an explosion.

Why?

That used to be what Microsoft (Internet Explorer) was famous for. I guess Chrome has lived long enough to be the villain, but Firefox is still the hero to me.

I mean… the official Reddit app was so bad that they had to charge for API access in order to get real market share.

M CPUs make me a believer in ARM and other non-x86 chips, but preferably RISC-V in the long term.

Keyboard is critical to me. I can work on a MacBook keyboard short term but something like a Glove80 or at least an Ergodox is critical for me in the long term.

Also OS X Unix is nix enough for me.

• Use it without OneDrive being bundled
• Use it without a Microsoft account
• Use it without ads
• Use it without Copilot

Yes, I know there are ways around each of these but the settings are all in different places, Microsoft keeps changing where the settings are, resetting to defaults on OS updates, and at least for trying to use it without a Microsoft account, actively closing loopholes for doing so.

Kitboga has some videos where he integrates Neal’s password game into a fake bank password reset UI, and gets the scammers to play the game. It’s one of the GOAT scambait videos.

I loved BB10. It had gesture-based navigation years ahead of its time, the Hub was the best notification system I’ve ever used, and it could run Android apps alongside BB10-native apps. It helped that I liked the form factor of the devices with physical keyboards, too.

Nowadays can choose between a large, glass rectangle, and an extra-large, glass rectangle in one of two flavours: Apple and Android. It’s no coincidence that Android has become more restrictive in terms of control over your own device, as the competition has dwindled and thinned.

I’d love to see the state of online banking if everyone were to manage their own ssh keys

Most people couldn’t figure out how to download a binary release from a GitHub repo, much less clone it, regardless of HTTP or SSH.
