Progenitor of the Weird Knife Wednesday feature column. Is “column” the right word? Anyway, apparently I also coined the Very Specific Object nomenclature now sporadically used in the 3D printing community. Yeah, that was me. This must be how Cory Doctorow feels all the time these days.
You can absolutely configure Windows to open folders – and all other shortcuts – with a single click, and IIRC one of the knocks against Windows ME was that this was the default option. And it was godawful, along with the “click” noise it made on navigation. (I think it was WinME. I’ve probably suppressed the memory, and rightly so.)
But the long and short of it is if you want consistency between your UI’s in that regard you can indeed have it.
To any angle you want.
Assembly is just machine code in a dress.
I’m not attributing anything to anything, I am just stating an established fact as to why public bathroom stalls are designed that way. If you want to stick motives on people, find their original designers.
I can:
But also:
Behold my mixture of skills, and tremble.
This is absolutely by design, and it is so users can be provided the absolute minimum of Privacy-ishtm, but also explicitly so that management can easily verify if a stall is occupied in case any poors/junkies are camping out in there.
It’s also so that public bathroom facilities can be spray-down, and you can wedge a brush in the gaps easily without there being crevices for mold/mildew and other… substances… to remain in.
I know it’s not funny, but helicopter ejection seats work by (typically explosively!) jettisoning the rotors prior to the launch of the seat.
At Mach 19, however, you would have probably roughly a 1 in 12 not to take one of the rotors right to the dome on the way out. Do you feel lucky, pilot?
It’s both simultaneously anyway, because Blade Runner’s entire jam is that it’s ambiguous whether Deckard (and even moreso McCoy) really is a replicant after all. As you have observed the true canonical answer has waffled over time with various cuts and recuts of the movie, although I believe Ridley Scott stated that the original intention was for him to have been a rep all along. And book Deckard is explicitly human.
Anyway, the replicants as depicted in all incarnations are clearly biological constructs and not mechanical, so while they’re certainly artificial the notion of whether or not they’re “robots” to begin with is highly debatable. Nexus-6, at least, has truly human intelligence to the extent that the built in 4 year expiry timer is required lest they emotionally mature enough to gain just a little bit too much free will for their designers’ liking. This is also why the Voight-Kampff test is necessary versus just waving a metal detector at them or X-raying them or whatever.

I’ve never actually successfully made anything shiny with that type of “chrome” spray paint. But they can give it a shot.
You’re right that most car badges are plastic anyway, covered with a thin veneer of that flaky chrome effect stuff. I have no idea if it’s actually chrome or just some kind of shiny plastic, a hot-dip process, some kind of PVD or sputtering, or what.
This is one of those jobs that seems tailor made for 3D printing.
You may not find the font you need exactly, but you can probably doodle something up that’ll be close enough to get the point across, especially if you can get a good scan or image of the letters you have got, and copy them (and their style).
3D print your parts (in ASA/ABS or a fairly heat resistant material is probably a good idea) and use copper electroplating spray on it and then nickel plate the shit out of it to make it silver and shiny. Nickel plating is easy to do at home (unlike chrome plating) and pretty tough to screw up.
Just a black screen when I tried it.
You can’t even boot with two 32x units installed, at least based on previous experience the last time I tried. So alas, this 256x assembly won’t work.
Locale, and pedantry.
It’s even worse than that. Not only is it a solved problem, but Tesla had it solved (or closer to solved, anyway) and then intentionally regressed on the technology as a cost cutting measure. All the while making a limp-wristed attempt to spin the removal of key sensor hardware – first the radar and later the ultrasonic proximity sensors – as a “safety” initiative.
There isn’t a shovel anywhere in the world big enough for that pile of bullshit.
This is basically ubiquitous on many public lands, specifically here in the US. The term is “carry in, carry out.” Bins accumulate trash (obviously) which in turn is an attractant for rodents, bears, raccoons, etc. which causes its own problems. Wild animals should not be artificially fed by human trash. Trash can also be blown out of cans, or scattered by animals. Overall, especially for low traffic environments, the best plan is to have people take all their trash out with them.
TL;DR: Pack out your trash.
Mostly not finding the entire stack of towels either soaked through with water, toppled over into the sink, or scattered all over the floor the next time someone uses the bathroom.
And, you know, not making our business look completely janky and unprofessional since clients can also use this restroom.
Ha-ha, your box of counterfeits is small…
It’s explicitly against Amazon’s ToS to incentivize reviews, or write/modify reviews in exchange for any kind of compensation. This includes the typical business card included in the box with the product pleading for 5 stars and promising “free gifts” or store credits. When I still used Amazon, any time I got one of those it was the only thing I mentioned in my review.
I don’t know if anyone actually meaningfully enforces this, but quite a few things I’ve reviewed in such a way seemed to disappear from the site more quickly than usual.
I know the headline is satire, but we all know this is exactly the same kind of half-brained report we’d get from someone who already knows damn well what the problem is and who caused it (i.e., themselves) but think they can weasel out of responsibility by pretending to play dumb.
Don’t tell me any useful information like there’s literally water pouring out of it (becauseyoufloodedthesecondfloorbathroomyoumoron). “Oh, there’s just ‘something’ wrong with it. I don’t understand all that technical mumbo-jumbo, maybe you could just come look?”
