Too bad it still can’t figure out how to do dead ass simple things the old assistant had no problem with, like setting a reminder or alarm

If it’s in a sealed plastic bag it doesn’t go stale until long after it would have molded on the counter. I refrigerate mine because I buy Costco sized sliced bread and it takes me 2 months to go through it. If you toast your bread, the staleness is unnoticeable

A lot of these things only need to be refrigerated to preserve flavor, not to stop spoilage. If you go through a bottle of ketchup in 3 months there is little benefit to refrigerating it, if it takes 3 years for you to finish it, it should probably stay in the fridge.

Some peanut butter brands require refrigeration to prevent mould. Others recommend it because it stops the oils from separating. Brands like Kraft don’t require any refrigeration at all

Refrigerating oil will stop it from going rancid, but I’ve only ever needed to do this with used deep frier oil

Honey is just a hell no in the fridge

Cargo van at home depot. It’s $30 to rent for the time it takes to make a round trip with stuff

Compared to a $20k hatchback, $60-80,000 SUVs are probably a lot more likely to:

1. Get regular maintenance at the dealership (and get upsold on long term maintenance things without clear immediate benefits), vs the twice a year Jiffy lube treatment
2. Get body work done if they are in a fender bender, vs just getting written off by insurance
3. Be driven by older, more experienced and safer drivers
4. Be stored in a garage, so the bottom of the car doesn’t rust out from road salt before they hit 200k miles

$0.30 + 1.8-2.6% (up to 3.5% if they take Amex)

Unlike the others, where the ethnic group preceded the country, to quote wikipedia, the name Pakistan “is composed of letters taken from the names of all our homelands, Indian and Asian, Panjab, Afghania, Kashmir, Sindh, and Baluchistan.”

There is a 50+ year history of people using it as an umbrella term to (offensively) refer to all the ethnic groups above, regardless of their actual ethnic roots, or even whether they were actually from Pakistan. It’s othering, similar to the word “oriental”, with an extra splash of explicit hatred (rather than just pure ignorance)

You can just point your domain at your local IP, e.g. 192.168.0.100

10 days without food hits differently when you are hiking through mountains 16 hours a day vs sitting on your couch

Right? it screams wayyyy pre-y2k but MySQL was only release in 95

will it become a relic of the past?

Probably

why YEAR in the first place, who would actually make use of it?

Accounting systems in the 90s that needed to squeeze out every drop of performance imaginable

I expect it won’t

The year datatype is a 1 byte integer, but the engine adds/subtracts 1900 to the value under the hood and has special handling for zero.

If you need to store more than 255 years range, you can use a 2 byte integer, which doesn’t need that special handling under the hood, because with 2 bytes you can store 65000+ years

Literally every library with any traction in any field is MIT licensed.

If the scientific python stack was GPL, then industry would have just kept paying for Matlab licenses

The nests (and many other thermostats) let you operate the fan independent from the AC.

I configured my fan to run 15 minutes every hour regardless of whether or not the AC/heat is running and it fixed all of my issues with the upstairs being way too hot.

Kettles are more efficient and thus faster at a given wattage.

The only reason a microwave would be faster is if you have low-wattage kettle or a 220v microwave, in which case it isn’t an apples to apples comparison

For every 1 person who knows how to use the windows command line, there are 50 people struggling because they didn’t embed their video into their PowerPoint, or worse, their USB stick only contains a shortcut to their actual .ppt file

Especially because a 15% tip is almost twice as good as it was 10 years ago due to rising food costs

tl;dr

We find that men who are more dissatisfied with the size of their penises are less likely to personally own guns across outcomes

Anyone who has seen his social media in the past 4 years was not surprised by this headline at all

There are like 10,000 different solutions, but I would just recommend using what’s built in to python

If you have multiple versions installed you should be able to call python3.12 to use 3.12, etc

Best practice is to use a different virtual environment for every project, which is basically a copy of an existing installed python version with its own packages folder. Calling pip with the system python installs it for the entire OS. Calling it with sudo puts the packages in a separate package directory reserved for the operating system and can create conflicts and break stuff (as far as I remember, this could have changed in recent versions)

Make a virtual environment with python3.13 -m venv venv the 2nd one is the directory name. Instead of calling the system python, call the executable at venv/bin/python3

If you do source venv/bin/activate it will temporarily replace all your bash commands to point to the executables in your venv instead of the system python install (for pip, etc). deactivate to revert. IDEs should detect the virtual environment in your project folder and automatically activate it
