When I was a medic for 15 years, I was paged out to 4 suicides, two self hanging, one OD, and one wrist slashing, (all male). Nor can I remember any reports of suicide by gun either. There were also good number of attempted OD's though. And this was in a rural community where almost every home had at least one gun and often more.

I don't think anyone could prove one way or another why guns didn't seem to be a choice for suicidal people in that community. I certainly don't know. But people who are not of sound mind often do strange things for inscrutable reasons.

You need to try a pair of suspenders with your shorts. Soooo fashionable, you will be a trend setter!

They can't because even they have no clue where those socks went. The inter-dimensional portal is very well hidden.

The US has such places along highways also.

I'm not much of a gamer, Gnome Mahjong is mostly good enough for me, but I have enjoyed Xonotic. It's a pretty fast play.

Meta gave Netflix and Spotify access to users private messages (arstechnica.com)

in 2018, Facebook told Vox that it doesn't use private messages for ad targeting. But a few months later, The New York Times, citing "hundreds of pages of Facebook documents," reported that Facebook "gave Netflix and Spotify the ability to read Facebook users’ private messages."...

bluewing ,

Meta didn't "give" anybody shit. They sold that access. Do you see the difference?

As always, users are the commodity.

bluewing ,

That fresh black pepper makes biscuits and sausage gravy killer!

I've home brewed a lot of English ales and I agree that those ales should be served warmer. If you don't, the cold mutes and kills the subtle and rich flavors.

Lagers are good, but a good British Ale is something to savory with good friends.

bluewing ,

Yeah, Prohibition killed all the beer we had and we did have good beer right up until then. And it's been a long road back. Those large US breweries are still far more interested in cheap ingredients made cheaply.

But you can find good craft beers scattered amongst the bad craft beers if you look. And home brewing is maybe more popular in the US than Europe, but I'm not sure of that.

bluewing ,

Irish whiskey? Triple pot stilled to strip out all the flavors? Dang near vodka for depth of flavor. (I jest - I do enjoy a good Irish whiskey myself).

Now bourbon is the drink of the gods. Rich deep complex flavors that fill your taste buds with joy. It's so good the Scots and even the Irish use our used bourbon barrels to impart those complex flavors and taste to their whiskys.

bluewing ,

It depends on where the bourbon gets made. Very generally, the temperatures cycles vary a lot more more than in Great Britain. So the bourbon "ages" faster than Scotch or Irish whiskys. So bourbons have to be younger and that can make them somewhat sharper in flavor. Plus the requirement of using new oak barrels also cuts the time spent in the barrel.

bluewing ,

Oddly, moonshine and bathtub "gin" became quite the impetus for the popularity of cocktails, at least in the US. Since the added flavors tended to hide the rotgut taste of the illicit booze. And the loss of beer breweries had the effect of giving rise to ice cream parlors and soda fountains since saloons had to close. Plus as Minnesotan, I feel the need to apologize for the Volstead Act, as it became known, since Andrew Volstead was a Minnesota House of Representative and Chairman of the House Judicial Committee and was pretty instrumental in getting prohibition enacted. Scandinavian Protestantism (tm) is not a good thing by in large.

Redditors Vent and Complain When People Mock Their "AI Art" (futurism.com)

Setting aside the usual arguments on the anti- and pro-AI art debate and the nature of creativity itself, perhaps the negative reaction that the Redditor encountered is part of a sea change in opinion among many people that think corporate AI platforms are exploitive and extractive in nature because their datasets rely on...

bluewing ,

It's always been that "there is little new under the sun." Whether it's math, science, or the arts, the "new" is all built on what went before. It's all just incremental and very often what was old is now new again.

AI might be good a copying, but the desire to create and destroy is a human drive. It will remain and find a way.

bluewing ,

Now, imagine being, let's say 50 years old, and losing your career. You previous job that you have been doing for 20 years is gone. And soon your home and possessions are too.

Do you have time to go back to school to learn a new skill and then start from the bottom again? And by the time you are done retraining, will anybody hire a 50 to 55 year old rookie when they can get a younger person for less money instead?

It's easy to say, "Just move and do something else" when you are 20. But the older you get it becomes very difficult to nearly impossible for a large number of people to do so. Not everyone can be retrained and there are few low skills jobs these days.

bluewing ,

Some do, some don't. And not all people can be retrained for a new and different job. That takes time, money, and aptitude, which is something not everyone has.

There was a time when coal mines were being shut down - a good thing right?. And 1000's of miners were losing their jobs left and right and families were homeless and starving. Whole towns and cities were losing population as jobs were lost. The economic impact was felt up and down "Main Street".

There was a large cry that something must be done! An idea took hold that we should retrain all these coal miners for a new career. The Federal government even got involved with educational grants. The idea was to train people to code because well, the world needed a lot of coders, the pay was good, and the miners would have a better life - A win for all. And everyone in the rest of the world felt good about it and went back to their lives.

Turns out, coal miners don't really have a suitable and transferable skill set to learn coding. Nor is it very effective to teach a 50 year old how to code from scratch. And even if you were one of the lucky few to manage succeed at it, now AI threatens your livelihood.

The moral of the story is: Things change, the world changes. There are a lot fewer places large numbers of people can go to so they can start over. The skills barrier is a lot higher than it was when "cigarette girls" were a thing and that barrier just gets higher everyday. And frankly, not many cigarette girls were capable of learning the newest skills to get a different and hopefully better job. So now what do we do?

bluewing ,

All nice thoughts. And I agree with them.

But the "smart" people are always willing to tell others what to do - it's their job you know.

And I wouldn't hold your breath about "safety nets" anytime soon. Resources aren't unlimited and greed to prevent that net is eternal.

And government tends to not do broad social policy well. They are stuck with "one size fits all" solutions out of necessity. And the more granular those polices get, the more byzantine the rules get. Plus by the time there is wide social approval to do something, the moment has passed and the world is now worse off.

Shuttering whole industries quickly, (a generation or less time frame), is how you create a huge population of "angry refugees" without homes or jobs as they try to move to other places to try and not starve. This seldom works out well for anyone.

The tried and true methods humanity has historically used to solve social upheaval are:
Starvation and death where you are at.
Moving to new lands that have few to no one else living there.
War to eliminate surplus populations.

Since no one wants to starve where they are and there are currently no new lands to settle, my money at this moment is on War. It will, unfortunately, solve a lot of current issues caused by excess populations - at least for a while.

The issue become, Can I get to a rental place? Do they have something to rent to me suitable for my use? Will they even rent to me? How do I get the vehicle back to the rental place? Can I afford the high cash outlay right now?

It's not so easy to rent a car. There are lots of hoops to jump through.

    Sometimes having tinnitus can save you a lot of money. I can't hear shit, but I ain't paying $1000's for a stereo cable.

    how can something be so courageous and yet so true (slrpnk.net)

    Edit: Jesus Christ, people. If you buy a $150 Thinkpad made by slave labor instead of a $1,200 MacBook made by slave labor, you're still supporting a capitalist economy based on slave labor. We all do. We have no choice. The number of smug liberals in the comments saying "well I buy a cheap used laptop" or "well I buy coffee...

    bluewing ,

    Eh, never fear your principles being questioned even by "smug internet randos". Lest you become the smug internet rando yourself.

    Introspection is a never ending task.

    Another Minnesotan here, as of 5am it's currently 5F, (that's -15C for those living in Rio Linda or Boca Raton). We might hit 15F/-9C for a high today. But I also live north of Frostbite Falls too. So enjoy your warm cozy day!

    bluewing ,

    I'm fine with it too. Cold and snow isn't much of an issue for me. But I have had a mild heat stroke before so I'd rather be cold than hot.

    Having just checked the forecast, I see we are now looking at 10 to 25 inches of snow and high winds starting on Sunday and lasting through Monday. I could do without that....So I suppose I should pick up the tractor tire from the shop and get that mounted and check to make sure the emergency genset is working properly.

    bluewing ,

    And this is why I have an automatic emergency backup generator. No math required. Power goes out, gentset comes on. Power come back on, genset turns off.

    bluewing ,

    You do have some errors in your little rant. While firearms are easier to acquire in the US as a rule, there are still some restrictions and forms you need to fill out. Plus there can be a near byzantine set of laws that each state and even cites can pass to further restrictions on purchase and ownership. It might be the biggest issue about firearms ownership that there are few national laws for enforcement. It's mostly up to each state and city regulations and enforcement.

    Convicted felons are pretty much barred from firearms ownership across the US. The only real exceptions might be a billionaire who can buy anything. Or perhaps it's just easier to pay some else to shoot people for them.

    Everyone has to fill out a Form 4473 which is a universal federal background check against a data base to see if you can legally own a firearm. It is an electronic background check done at the time of sale and transfer. It can take a few minutes or a few hours to get done. And you can be disqualified for a simple misspelling or even if your name is similar to a some who is barred from purchase. Then it's up to you to get your name cleared. All and any firearms purchases through a dealer MUST have a Form 4472 attached. And the dealer must keep a record after the sale for a fairly long period of time. A good number of states have further restrictions and requirements on the purchase and ownership of firearms. Which require further state background checks and issuance of a special card to buy a firearm. And individual cities can impose further restrictions yet.

    Minors, under 18 years of age, (a few are 21), in the majority of states cannot legally buy a firearm. And are generally only allowed to handle or use a firearm with an adult present - some exceptions would be during a hunting season and only when hunting. But even then, there will be an adult somewhere around.

    Carrying a handgun publicly, with the exception of a very small number of states, is very controlled. Some states, like California or New York are quite restrictive to the point that pretty much only wealthy people can actually afford to pay for all the hoops you might need to jump through to get such a permit. A tiny number of states, like Texas allow for common carry laws without a permit, (often called Constitutional Carry). But the majority of states require that you have taken a special class and then go through more special background checks by local law enforcement to get the permit issued. And these permits require renewals every few years with more background checks every time.

    Again, I think the biggest issue is the lack of a uniform national set of laws and requirements for firearms purchase and ownership is what confuses everyone. States are considered to have most of the power to make many laws that the federal government can't over ride. Sometimes this is a good thing and sometimes not so good perhaps. But it's the system we have for better or worse.

    bluewing ,

    That's fine if you feel like that. And YOU should stay away from them and I fully support your desires and rights to do so. But others don't feel the same.

    While I wear the sackcloth and ashes of FreeCAD, it is a full 3D modeling suite and is perhaps more than you need.

    For something free and fairly simple in 3D modeling you could try TinkerCAD. This is a cloud based CAD that just runs in your browser and is often a gateway into more complex modeling for 3D printing. Many people find it all they need for the basic modeling they want for 3D printing. They do have some tutorials to get you started. I have taught it to 4th grade students using iPads for very simple 3D models they could 3D print.

    Another easy to access program is OnShape. This is another cloud based, run in a browser 3D CAD solution. While it is aimed for commercial paid usage, they do offer a restricted free hobby licence. This is a "real" 3D modeling program and the interface and tools reflect that. But they do offer free modeling tutorials and videos to learn with. And their help search is very extensive and written in plain language to follow. I have taught OnShape to high school students because it would easily run on their school issued education Chromebooks. The most difficult part was getting the kids to use a mouse - they are all about touch pads and screens these. And CAD software ain't made for that.

    As far as being "Intuitive" well, when you are learning ANY new thing, it's going to seem like that at first. You need need to learn how to think before you can do something with a new tool. And mastering CAD software means you need to learn how to think about design before you can worry too much about where the buttons are. And you learn how to think by doing and failing - often repeatedly. But if you pay attention to what you are doing and try to remember how things worked, you will start to learn how to think.

    So pick a piece of software that works on Linux. Do a bit of google and find some tutorials for your choice of CAD and then do the tutorials. Do them more than once! Do them until YOU are comfortable with the process. And then keep practicing. I have been using various CAD softwares for 30 years and I still need to practice. Otherwise I lose the skills.

    You can do this!

    I think Fedora has some issues. I just spent a couple of weeks with Fedora again after a few years of ignoring it. While it didn't refuse to boot for me, after the last update things that were working stopped working and no amount of google could fix them. So back to Linux Mint again.

    Fedora has never worked well for me since RedHat 5. It always has a failure at some point. Obviously, YMMV!

    bluewing ,

    I have a laptop that runs Win11. I have had no issues with it since I did the upgrade when it first came out and as far a Microsoft products go, it's OK. But with the addition of the AI, I know at some point it will piss me off and I will wipe it and chose a distro to take it's place.

    I'm retired now, and I no longer really need the Fusion360 install that one customer requested I use for their designs nor do I play games
    beyond a little mahjongg and solitaire in the evenings if I feel the need.

    Windows is merely a tool and a means to an end. It's NOT the end in itself. Use the tool you want/need to and feel the best with and just get on with the job.......

    bluewing ,

    OnShape will restrict the number of active drawings you can work on at a time. It's a simple matter of turning them on and off. Worst part of OnShape is all your work is public, (they are very up front about this), and can't be hidden. But, you can make a single model as complex as you wish. It's always the latest and greatest version of OnShape every time you log in. And it simply works on any platform that can open a web browser. There is even an app for your phone. I don't really use it at home because I live in a very rural area and electricity can be kind of sketchy at times, let alone the internet. So it can be unreliable for me.

    Fusion360 is quite popular due to the perceived ease of use. To be fair there are a ton of very good tutorials for it and the documentation is top notch. Having used a few different CAD packages over 30 years, I'm not overly impressed by it - it's not better or worse than any other choice when you start really working it. I don't care for how much of the "good stuff" they have locked away unless you pay to play. But most hobby users won't notice that issue. They just want an .stl to 3D print - which Fusion is pretty slow to output. And because Fusion uses a half-arsed half local/half cloud solution, (Windows only need apply), and it updates on login it is slow to load, which I dislike. Plus if you do lose the internet, it severely cripples your work until you can log back in.

    SolidEdge offers a free hobby version and it worked pretty well when I messed with it for a couple of months. It had a SolidWorks feel to it for me. It's a local install and requires no internet to use. I thought the assembly was limited and not always super intuitive. But it's been a few years since I tried it.

    I just use FreeCAD now. I like the local install/run. And right now things are changing for the better with it. Lots of new features and more importantly improvements to the underlying code to make things more robust are coming in the development releases. And more and more excellent tutorials are being created and released. If you are willing to learn, FreeCAD offers a full 3D modeling experience.

    Overall, you can design rocket ships to the stars with any of the online CAD solutions, well maybe not TinkerCAD. But, like any other free version of commercial software, they will impose limits on us freeloaders. Try one and see if you like them and it suits your needs.

    bluewing ,

    Neither am I - hence FreeCAD.

    But a very large number of users simply don't care about avoiding cloud solutions or using Linux. And OnShape does offer some unique solutions to low powered computing/agnostic OS uses and for the more corporate minded needs, the ability of two users to be able to work on the same model at the same time and see each other's changes in real time. Which can lead to faster collaborations and iterations of a design. And as someone who has wasted weeks of my life emailing design changes back and forth, this would have been a very handy thing at times.

    You young whipper snappers and your fancy DOS terminals.....10,000 years ago I sat at a teletype terminal and tried to learn to program in BASIC. Oregon Trail and Missile Attack are a whole 'nother experience when done by printed media only.

    I can still hear the sound of the teletype clacking.....

    bluewing ,

    Ahhh, Lotus 1-2-3... I remember it well. But first I had to master AutoCAD Release 9 in DOS.

    I was so sure MicroSoft could NEVER replace Lotus Notes.

    But playing Oregon Trail was never the same again......

    Now, I agree with you that if you believe a home kitchen scale is telling the truth, you are a fool. But as an old toolmaker who dabbled in accuracy for a living, displayed digits does not equal accuracy nor even repeatability. And there can be a fair amount of interpretation involved in analog beam scales.

    I think it's just another PPS, (piss poor scale), scale that is neither accurate nor repeatable. And the packaging material weights are rarely included in listed weights. Since packaging can change at any time due to costs.

    bluewing ,

    Unless you were using a certified scale and checking it with certified check weights every time you used it, you were just guessing and hoping your dealer wasn't randomly or purposely off. And density of the material weighed matters also. Weed is far less dense than pasta so a discrepancy can be more noticeable since it takes a larger volume of weed to reach a particular weight than pasta does.

    Understand that a digital kitchen scale is made with the cheapest load sensors a manufacturer is willing to pay for. Nor do they come with any kind of traceable certification as to accuracy class. In fact you get no guarantee that your shiny new kitchen scale is fit for even that purpose - just that it turns on, lights up, and displays something when you place a load upon it.

    Accuracy is a cruel and VERY expensive mistress to chase. And most people don't understand it anyway.

    I've been using Linux every chance I could since Red Hat 5/Mandrake 6 - available at your local Walmart for $20US for a boxed set CD. So I now have a Cheap, Cheerful, Chinese mini desktop box just to install Linux on since all my old laptops have slowly given up the ghost one by one. I've always been a distro hopper and I missed the exploration. I've been running LM with Cinnamon for the last year and really like the stability, but it's been a few years since I looked in on Fedora. And I'm getting the itch to switch again.

    I have one laptop left that is running Win11 that I needed for some specialty software and now since I'm retired, there is little to no reason to keep it that way anymore. I suppose I will need to choose a single distro for that one. Maybe Ubuntu or SuSe Tumbleweed?

    It's amazing just how easy choosing a distro and getting it up and running has become. From RTFM and spending a month trying to compile a driver get a Sound Blaster Gold sound card to work on a 486, (I still have PTSD from that dependency hell), to just 20 minutes from start to finish on a new install and everything works.

    bluewing ,

    Yeah, I stopped asking questions about any problems years ago because of the cli bros and god forbid you tried to help and didn't offer an "crowd approved" answer. It just wasn't worth the effort. I just switched to searching for an answer on my own. It makes me pretty bad at solving problems sometimes/often times when I do have an issue, but I still manage to muddle through well enough for my own personal amusement.

    Thankfully, unless you choose to walk a path of sackcloth and ashes, these days distros are pretty fool proof and don't need much cli effort anymore. And the older I get, the less I want to bother with anything exotic with any distro I want to use. I just want something that works.

    bluewing ,

    The only issue that has cropped up on my current release LM Cinnamon install, is I have added 2 extra storage devices added to a cheapie AWOW micro box. They are both easily recognized, (formatted Ext4), and are available through the file manager for use. One is an 250gb internal drive and the other is a MicroSD is a 128gb card in an external slot. And both show as extra storage and neither are available as bootable disks - only the usb ports allow that.

    What I have found is, on boot the main drive shows up on the desktop and the smaller microSD card automagically also shows up and is available for use from there. But the 250gb added internal drive has never shown up on the desktop on boot until I open the file manager and click on it. When I do that, it appears on the desktop but locks out the microSD card shortcut/icon on my desktop, (still accessible through the file manager).

    I'm not sure if this is an issue with LM or just how this Cheap, Cheerful, Chinese micro box has it's firmware set up. I lean towards the firmware in the box myself, if so it probably isn't fixable then. And honestly, this isn't really a showstopper problem and more of a quality of life issue that isn't all that difficult to work around - just use the file manage and it isn't a problem. But it would awesome if all three desktop shortcuts played nice together.

    bluewing ,

    Are you paying for a seat to use Fusion or just the freebie hobby licence? You can switch over to OnShape if you want something commercial. It's totally OS agnostic because it runs in a browser window. Otherwise you can don the sackcloth and ashes and switch to FreeCAD like I did, (it's not as hard to learn as it gets made out to be), and be free of controlling corporations.

    bluewing ,

    That is a price to pay for universal accessibility I guess. But I find it's not particularly onerous in practical application - I teach it to high school students because it will run on a simple school issued Chromebook. And since the majority of CAD users are 3D printing, most are only working on single part items anyway. Very few are trying to create multipart assemblies anyway. YMMV of course.

    I use FreeCAD because where I live, the internet connection can be iffy, (along with electric service and mail period), and I prefer the local install vs the half-arsed local/cloud install of Fusion or the total cloud base of OnShape for my personal use. YMMV for your needs of course.

    bluewing ,

    I use Brave on occasions and it's pretty good. But for some reason I just can't seem to make it my everyday driver.

    bluewing ,

    Which is odd because I do want the health stuff, but don't want the rest of that stuff that is useless to me. I don't need the texting, music, weather, or the phone stuff - my smart phone still needs to be in bluetooth range for it to work anyway.

    But I do value the ability to take a pulse, blood pressure, and count steps. It has increased my self-awareness and improved my health consciousness - small changes can make big differences. And for $40US, I found a decent watch that actually works pretty well.

    bluewing ,

    I bought a FITVII smartwatch from Amazon, (the price has gone up a bit since I ordered mine), after seeing a review of smart watches on a tech website. It was rated as their "Best Budget" -YMMV- smart watch.

    A word of warning - it took over 3 months to receive the watch even though it was listed as in stock with 10pcs available. In truth I forgot about it until it showed up in the mail.....

    bluewing ,

    What happens if you aren't at home? How much extra planning is needed to check possible hotels along a long distance route to see if they offer overnight chargers? And knowing the lack of commercial charge points outside of metro areas, or even in metro areas that might not even be working when you get there, what do you do then? People don't just never travel long distances. And traveling by plane, train, or bus is not always an option.

    And yes, I know about the charging programs, I would love to buy an EV, but the sad hard facts are they will not work for me. Even a Hybrid is kind of iffy. And I will probably be well dead before they will be viable choices for where I live.

    bluewing ,

    Just go to your local auto parts store and ask for one. They will hook you up.

    bluewing ,

    I try very hard to not need to make those types of trips. But I have often have a need to several times of the year whether I like it or not. But this fall I made two 1000 mile round trips to go pheasant hunting with my one Son in Law's family and friends. It was a kind of bucket list thing. More often, I need to make 300 mile round trips to see a medical specialist every 3 months. And it's below freezing here 6+ months a year where I live.

    The nearest airport that I could fly from is an easy 50 miles away. But, transporting 2 dogs, a shotgun, cooler, and a 5 gallon buck of wild rice as gifts plus clothes wasn't going to work. There is no bus or train service to be had either. And I'm pretty sure Hertz wouldn't be real happy about dirty, wet, and muddy dogs being transported, (and yes, I own travel kennels), in their rentals nor would they be very impressed by the variety of grasses, weeds and mud hanging from the underside of the car either.

    The point of the story is, lots of people make these kinds of trips to go camping and hiking, boating, fishing, skiing, hunting, or Christmas trips to Grandma's house loaded with food and gifts. And the places they are going to are often pretty much barren of support for EVs. And renting a car to get there and back would be prohibitively expensive. And people do these types of travel regularly.

    I hope more and more people switch to EVs. They DO make a lot of sense in a metropolitan area. Personally, I think electric bikes would even better for most urbaine urbanites. But not everyone lives in such places. And there is a noticeable number of people who can't afford to buy an EV either - even if they wanted to.

    I really, really wanted to buy a Chevy Bolt because I thought it would work for me. But, my one Daughter, (who has a PhD in engineering and is a research engineer doing long term studies on HVac systems and EV charging in real world installations), talked me out of it because of lack of infrastructure support. local conditions, the logistics, and total costs of ownership, (it still costs money to not use an asset also). Even buying a Hybrid really doesn't make a lot of sense where I live since it would be simply running the ICE engine 95%+ of the time anyway. And again, the total cost of ownership is pretty break even at best. Sadly, it's going to take decades longer to get EVs affordably usable for everyone. (That does NOT mean we should to stop all development and traveling that path).

    TL:DR - There is a non-zero number of people for whom EVs just don't work out, whether from lack of access to them, non-existent infrastructure, or lack of financial ability to even afford ownership or use case. And it seems a very large number of EV enthusiasts I have interacted with simply ignore those issues when making the flat statement "EVs good. ICE bad" and imply that "No one should ever need to own an ICE powered car". Which is just as poor of logic as those who keep saying EVs are stupid and should go away. So go buy your EV if you can. Or at least buy an electric bike if you can't. But for me, they just don't work yet.

    bluewing ,

    There is a noticeable non-zero number of people who fall into that category. And you cannot simply handwave them away or the fact that for many the cost of purchase an EV simply isn't possible yet or the infrastructure isn't there to support such a purchase.

    And YOU willfully choose to ignore those people and situations. You are no better than the clowns that state "EVs are stupid".

    bluewing ,

    I've been told there are addon charge controllers available for such situations. But as I said, it's stupidly expensive.

    bluewing ,

    So, you are fine doubling the cost of ownership for those people can't use EVs all the time for everything? Nor did I say that my, and a noticeable number of other people, want to hold society back on EVs. Only that's it NOT the clear cut solution for everyone 90% of the time. But you would seem to want to "force a square peg into the round hole solution".
