If the battery for your impact driver (not drill, BTW) isn’t shared with a bunch of other tools from the same brand, you’re doing it wrong.

Sampling bias from the fact that you’re reading posts written in English, not Mandarin.

(By the way, I’m actually not as concerned with Chinese companies collecting my data as I am with American companies doing it, precisely because China doesn’t have jurisdiction over me, while the US does. Similarly, I would expect Chinese people to be more afraid of Chinese data collection than they are of US data collection.)

This is why shaming the idiots who say things like “what’s the big deal, it’s just a field in a text file” is so important. They need to be made to understand that solidarity is required to resist the tyrants.

guess I need to look at bit for “how to stuff a huge graphics card into a mini box”.

(That’s only the latest in a whole series of videos of his on that topic.)

That’s typically one of the warrants. In addition to vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian volumes, other warrants include things like vehicle approach speed, sight distance, and crash statistics.

The city ultimately determined the intersection did not meet the required traffic volume for additional stop signs

For the record, this is 100% a lie. Every single warrant document (list of criteria) used by an engineer will have two magic words written at the bottom of the list:

“Engineering judgement.”

That means there is no such thing as a “required traffic volume” for a stop sign or any other kind of signal or marking. If the engineer, in his professional judgement, agrees that one is warranted, it’s warranted.

Engineers who hide behind things like warrants, pretending their hands are tied by them, are cowards and aren’t doing their jobs properly.

The city engineer who refused to approve the stop sign didn’t want to approve it because he cared more about drivers’ convenience than he did children’s safety, but was too chickenshit to tell it to the dad’s face.

Lots of unreasonable devs out there.

Can’t do that anymore with the new ones, AFAIK.

Ah, I just love how laws against anticompetitive business practices have basically been totally flushed down the toilet worldwide, don’t you?

It’s two penny-farthings welded together back-to-back. It’s a freakbike for doing stunt-riding, which is still way closer to stuff like mountain biking and bmx than it is to ‘normal’ utility or road cycling.

And yes, he also owns a couple of Bromptons and has made the very occasional video on urban cycling. But that doesn’t make him the best channel for it. I’m not throwing shade on the guy; I’m just saying it’s just not his focus.

(He also doesn’t cover stuff like, say, pro cycling or MAMIL-style road cycling. I hesitate to mention GCN 'cause I think I’d get flamed if I called them the “best” at anything, but they definitely cover those topics more than Seth does.)

Best mountain biking channel. There are others that are better for other types of biking (e.g. Shifter for utility cycling).

I started watching the video on Youtube, but almost immediately switched to an older video from the same guy that went into more detail on the metal-melting part.

TL;DR: normal sand casting, using a microwave to heat up the metal inside an insulated silicon carbide crucible.

It’s not, like, using the microwave to sinter a metal-powder 3D print or anything special like that.

I’ve both used CAD software professionally and worked on CAD software as a developer, and I also find FreeCAD weirdly frustrating. It’s not the crashes; it’s something about the workflow.

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears!

Problem solved

But…

Do you need a specific game mechanic for that? Surrender, being a type of talking, is a free action.

Admittedly I haven’t used Omada even though my gear supported it (before I flashed OpenWRT on it), but I don’t think it bears any resemblance to Ansible except in the most basic sense of being able to accomplish administrative tasks somehow.

What I was expecting was something that would provide a web dashboard showing all of my OpenWRT (and ideally, misc. other devices) at once, maybe with a nice diagram of the network topology and stuff like that.
