I’m surprisingly level-headed for being a walking knot of anxiety.
Ask me anything.
I also develop Tesseract UI for Lemmy/Sublinks

Good question, and I’m not sure of the actual, lexicographic answer.
All I can say is there’s typically an implicit negative connotation when using the form “those people” regardless of intent. Usually it’s used that way when stereotyping or otherwise making a blanket statement about a group, so even benign uses of the phrase tend to sound hostile.
My guess is that “those persons” sounds more specific.
In before “they’re just writing that off their own taxes” or “they’re already going to donate it and you’re just reimbursing them”.
Most of the ones near me just ask if you want to “round up” or make a static donation amount. I’m guessing the coupon book is nothing more than the coupons they’d send out in the weekly paper. Having received similar coupon books as “welcome aboard” gifts, most of those deals aren’t even all that good. Plus, they likely expire, so it puts a time rush on using them and draws in business.
“If everything’s above board that store really just acting like an agent,” said [Laurie Styron, Executive Director, CharityWatch]. “They’re really just taking your money and at some point in the future passing it on to the charity if they’re filing their taxes correctly. It actually doesn’t have any impact on that store’s taxes,” she said.
Not sure if this is the most environmentally-correct answer, but I’ve usually put old, beyond redemption glassware into a thick bag (like a dog food bag) and sealed it up. Those bags are usually thick enough that even if the glass breaks, it usually won’t break through.
Sealing the glass up in the same bags, I’ve also smashed them to pieces small enough that they’re no longer shards (depends on what i’m throwing away).
Glass is typically able to be cleaned in all but the worst cases, so I don’t throw it away often. Usually it’s when a glass or plate breaks and I don’t want to risk injury to the sanitation workers.
Yep. Mine didn’t have the ones on the radiators, just the wall controller. The only thing on the radiators was a valve which could adjust it a little bit but was mostly just on/off.
No, not from UK, but thought some of the credits would transfer since I’m kinda familiar with HVAC and have had a radiator setup lol.
Yeah, thanks. I saw your other posted and added an edit to mine. I was way off.
The house I lived in that had radiator heating used the wall-mounted thermostats to control the boiler. That’s totally different. Hope you get an answer.
Thermostat
If it is broken, they’re inexpensive and typically easy to replace. Usually it’s just one or two pairs of wires: one pair kicks your heat on when connected, the other turns your A/C on when connected. If you don’t have A/C (or have a dedicated thermostat for heat), then it’d probably only have one pair. Edit: Forgot, some have a dedicated pair for the fan. Mine doesn’t, so it slipped my mind.
They usually have a faceplate part that comes off (the part that you think you may have broken) and a mounted part that stays on the wall usually with two screws.
You might have better luck taking some pictures and posting the question to !homeimprovement@lemmy.world to get some more specific advice.
Edit #2: Just saw your new post in home improvement. I was way off lol. The last house I lived in that had radiator heating used a regular thermostat to control the boiler. The one you’re describing is totally different.
I forget the name of it, but back before I got old and started waking up consistently before the alarm went off, I had an alarm clock app that made you do math problems in order to shut it off or snooze it. They got progressively harder with each snooze, so you eventually had to actually wake up.
Can’t get you out of bed, but it can definitely force your brain to kick into gear which usually kept me from falling back asleep.
Yep. Plus, people spewing violent bullshit aren’t going to be deterred by a counter keyboard warrior. So I just let them shout their shit into the void (as far as I’m aware of it, anyway).
I’ve got enough stress IRL I don’t need that shit here.
I tend to block those users very, very quickly. At best, they’re “knee-jerk” types that react violently without thinking. At worst, they’re sociopaths. There’s a lot in between those, but either way, with them blocked, this place is way more chill.
TMobile is pretty open, but AT&T a lot less so (though still more permissive than Verizon).
Basically any capable phone will be accepted on TMob, but AT&T will refuse to allow “unsupported” devices even if they are compatible. They shut out my OnePlus 3 which was working perfectly fine with VoLTE and VoWiFi for being too old despite being on a recent Lineage build. So instead of getting a new device, I switched to T-Mobile lol.
Shhh… Don’t give them any ideas lol
That’s what I was thinking, but wasn’t sure enough to say beyond “give it a shot and see”.
There might be some savings to be had by enabling compression, though it would depend on what format the images are in to start with. If they’re already in a compressed format, it would probably just be a waste of CPU to try compressing them further at the filesystem level.
Not sure if a de-duplicating filesystem would help with that or not. Depends, I guess, on if there are similarities between the similar images at the block level.
Maybe try setting up a small, test ZFS pool, enabling de-dup, adding some similar images, and then checking the de-dupe rate? If that works, then you can plan a more permanent ZFS (or other filesystem that supports de-duplication) setup to hold your images.
My first instinct was to say yes, but then I remembered the bong sound isn’t really modulated in the song. So it’s more like a sound effect like police sirens.
Funny enough, I do consider a basketball a percussion instrument since it is bounced to a beat in some songs (I’m showing my 90s kid age here lol).
Thanks! Wish I had more time to work on it lately, but life has been getting in the way.
Like was said: money.
In addition, they need training data. Both conversations and raw material. Shoving “AI” into everything whether you want it or not gives them the real world conversational data to train on. If you feed it any documents, etc it’s also sucking that up for the raw data to train on.
Ultimately the best we can do is ignore it and refuse to use it or feed it garbage data so it chokes on its own excrement.
Yep, API limitation, so less a “won’t fix” and more of a “can’t fix right now”.
