887 thousands.

So, less than the Bronx (1.4M), but more than Staten Island (450k).

About the same as Indianapolis, IN, USA or Donetsk, Ukraine.

So, 1 medium city's worth.

Marchetti posits that although forms of urban planning and transport may change, and although some live in villages and others in cities, people gradually adjust their lives to their conditions (including location of their homes relative to their workplace) such that the average travel time stays approximately constant.

Yeah, that's a strange conclusion.

Boulevardier tonight, well... Cynar instead of vermouth because I didn't crack a new bottle since I only had La Quintinye Vermouth Royale and we're heading out for a vacation soon (and I really like that one). So black boulevardiers (like a "black" Manhattan)? Bitter italy (play on the little Italy)? Idunno what to call it.

You need wait only until the os starts loading. This should be well below 30sec.

And absolutely crush all of them while you're booting. You're not gonna hurt anything.

Fake it til you make it, amiright?

We need a new term for this level of willful ignorance.

Amazon OS? Is there such a thing?

Amazon Linux is definitely a thing, but not for desktop OS (I mean it's Linux, so I don't see why not, but ...)

And yeah, any number of keys are used to enter the bios or boot menu! Del, left shift, f12, f10, f2, etc.

Just keep trying them!

Oh, and sometimes tab will disable the little splash menu so you can see the boot prompts.

Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences.

Somehow in the same tweet. What a fucking numpty.

  • Military-industrial complex
  • War machine
  • Merchants of death

There are many names.

 

I don't really have anyone else to shout at about this, but it's an amazing way to host services in rootless containers entirely in user space using systemd (systemctl --user).

Got the uppers painted and installed.

Time to find some MDF for the face frame, drawer fronts, and shelves. Which reminds me, I need a router bit for the integrated drawer pulls she wants.

 

My first project is really coming together!

Built a set of drawers cabinets to my wife's specs for the closet. Still have uppers, face frame and overlay fronts to do, but the garage was too full to keep going.

4ft (122cm) tall bank of drawers with full extension soft close undermount slides. 88in.(222cm) wide.

Feel free to make fun of the 2x4 toe kick! Rest assured I've learned my lesson.

All cuts made with my portable DeWalt table saw after breaking down sheets with my Ryobi circular saw and a harbor freight clamp as an edge guide.

 

I applied some paste wax to the table saw and was pleasantly surprised that it made a difference.

I think I'll have to use this on the wood runners on the old dresser I have too.

In case you're concerned, it's just a little DeWalt contractor's table saw. No sawstop or powermatic here. That's for the cool guys on youtube.
