I gotta stop recycling all those bottles!

Re "a drink": That's maybe a little dangerous advice.

A standard daiquiri is going to be 2 full shots of rum, plus about ¾oz lime and simple, add some muddled strawberry to make strawberry. Just as a 7.5% IPA has much more alcohol than a 4.2% Guinness/Miller Lite.

IIRC, that puts a daiquiri at 2 "regular" 5% beers, or a bit more than 2 "domestic" lite beers. And that's assuming nobody used an overproof rum.

For a lightweight, that's a drink to sip slowly.

The faster you drink, the more and longer it affects you.

Further evidence that the only thing the Elon has is money. Not an original thought in there.

That makes Trump the actor on third-hand thoughts.

Such power.

I understand what you're getting at, but I feel like that's doing a disservice to plasma. They absolutely can (software!) display what they want, but it would require a paradigm shift.

I've struggled with this sort of thing for many years. Multiple audio devices (switching between speakers/headphones/headset), complex input/output schemas (e.g. audio passthrough for a console mixed with the podcast on my PC, or from the endurance race on a Chromecast (obligatory "🖕 peacock") mixed with the game I'm playing on the PC), echo cancellation between various sources and the selected output, etc.

Audio management is complex, but I think OP is getting at one of the weaker points in "year of the Linux desktop" adoption.

I'm managing only because I've spent so much time figuring things out over nearly 20yrs of Linux use. My setup is currently a combination of plasma (I think the app is just "volume"), qpwgraph, and individual app settings.

If you have a disposal, run that while you're heating the water too. A full/clogged disposal will cause backups or slow drainage which puts more strain on the pump.

Oh no, what if it's actually a rom-com: will they, won't they.

I'm five drinks in and this is still what jumped out.

I take it a step further with distrobox to provide the tooling (like the preferred version of poetry and other cli tools). That ensures people can jump in with the right versions of tools easily, and changes to tooling can be disseminated with a commit (and container build).

But I agree. Get started and solve these problems when they are problems.

Just finished watching the 24hrs of Daytona where they use that infield track layout this week. It's free on YouTube from IMSA!

3 classes of cars fighting for places through traffic for 24hrs. It's absolutely wild, and the commentators are definitely fighting fatigue with sometimes extremely random sidetracks too.

Oopie doop.

Today, yeah, I'll push my rep to vote for her in 2026. Goodness knows he won't be...

 

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.
