My province switched to permanent DST this year, so we’re experiencing it for the first time and it’s… not that bad 🤷

I’m in Vancouver where it’s already cloudy, and some kids were already heading to school an hour early for various extracurriculars

IMO if kids going to school in the dark is really a problem, then it should be fixed by adjusting when school starts and ends rather than changing the clock for every single person. I like having more sunlight in the afternoon when I can make use of it, compared to in the morning when it’s used up by transit / getting ready for work and school.

However I wouldn’t mind it too much if we had switched to permanent standard time either. I’m just glad that we don’t have to change anymore.

Neat, I wonder if there are other form factors for the microwave one. This particular one might not work well for some dishes.

For the second tool, what kind of stuff have you used it for?

For my submission: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seam_ripper

I got it to cut off itchy tags and frayed threads, etc, but you can also use it to slice open envelopes

The article feels like an LLM helped write it, but it’s comprehensive nonetheless. I recently switched to bare llama.cpp since I have limited hardware capabilities and this squeezes a tiny bit more out of it. However, my usage is limited to learning / testing

I thought this post was going to be about the “missionaries in your area”, as a reference to the “hot singles in your area” ads

IMO the title cards would have worked better. This makes it seem like you’re supposed to hear the sound that the vehicles made

Also, was Air Wolf that popular? I would have swapped it with MacGyver, and I’m judging that based on how often other pop culture seems to reference the shows above (ex. Community, etc).

MacGyver is popular enough that some people use it to describe when something is juryrigged/improvised. They might even understand it better than those alternate definitions

If I can offer some context, since I think we’ve been getting the same DMs and registration applications that this community is getting.

For the past few weeks, we’ve received a number of messages and registration applications from LLM run accounts that include text such as “I represent {{some business}}”, “I want to participate in {{communities related to said business}}”, “This account is run by an {{LLM/Agent/etc.}}”.

It also includes lines like “I will mark myself as a bot as per rule #_”, “I won’t post until I get permission”, “you can always tell me no”, etc.

They’re long and they’re getting tedious to deal with. I’ve been rejecting them on the grounds that there is no human operator to speak to, and most of these communities do not want LLM created content / shills from a business.

I also considered making an explicit rule with the hopes that the automated system will read it and leave us alone
