Congratulations to UTC+6 and greater for making it to 2021! The rest of us will catch up sometime. My wife is putting together a charcuterie platter tonight, and we'll celebrate by fighting our cats to keep them from stealing too much spiced meat.

My wife put together a charcuterie plate, and we started watching Schitt's Creek (which I really hadn't heard about until last night). My wife fell asleep on the couch shortly after midnight, and I tried to go to bed around 1. The neighbors that my bedroom shares a wall with were blasting their subwoofer until 2:30 or so, so I did not fall asleep. At around 5, my wife woke up and started throwing up. I felt a little queezy, but I think I managed to avoid whatever made her sick (who knows how, we ate the same things last night). All in all it was a long night. Somewhat Heroic posted:
One of my cats practices this technique, and it's what caused us to upgrade to a king bed in the first place.

I've been messing with Stadia playing PUBG over the last few days. It works better than it has any right to, streaming the game directly to Chrome on my macbook. I'm also really enjoying PUBG

nm posted:Commuting is the loving worst. I think 15 minutes is the right length of commute. I lived a 5 minute walk from work for a year, and my work/life balance went all to hell. 5 minutes by bike is probably a little better because of the distance. Right now my commute would be ~20 minutes by bus, but I haven't commuted since March. I'll probably start bicycling to work on and off in the spring, depending on New York's covid numbers. Edit: Of course there's a slack outage on the first workday of 2021, right when I wanted to reference something that my manager told me on Dec 29th.

GnarlyCharlie4u posted:I wanna know if they're cut off from their instances entirely or if they just can't host the app. Like what about database and vm backups? Can they still exfiltrate those? From what it sounds like, their EC2 instances / routing / any other managed service are going to be shut off, but they can still exfiltrate S3 data.

luminalflux posted:I just can't fathom being married to someone who I don't share political views with, especially that extreme. Thankfully we don't really have much contact with them - just thanksgiving / xmas and that's easy to limit. I think it's healthy for spouses to disagree *a little*, but definitely there needs to be some common ground. shy boy from chess club posted:Finally got around to getting some leads for the 465 that kastein gave to me then cleaning up the front took me about 2 hours taking everything apart. It needs the pots to be cleaned next but that's for another day. That reminds me, I really need to get around to testing/giving away my oscilloscope.

KYOON GRIFFEY JR posted:maybe I'm old or a luddite or both but I can't figure out why I want smart bulbs. If the lights are off in the bedroom when my wife gets home, she will turn the light on her side of the bedroom on. That's kind of a pain to get to, since it's all the hell on the other side of the bed. So my smartbulb use case is 100% for turning the light on my side of the room on at sunset, automatically. Edit: I was playing with home-assistant over the last few weeks. I want to use that to drive my smartbulbs and a couple other things. Unfortunately the latest OS update made it so my raspberry pi doesn't try to get on the network any more, so I need to figure out what's up with that.

What do you talk about with a therapist? I've had two appointments with one, but I'm failing to see the point.

Olympic Mathlete posted:That looks like it sucked. How did you manage that? Too many motorcycle accidents in my 20s gave me arthritis in my left ankle (and most of the hardware in there). I had the ankle (just the tibiotalar joint) fused in late October, and I've been completely off of it since then. Finally got out of the cast and into a boot yesterday. I'm partial-weight-bearing now, and the plan is for me to work up to full-weight-bearing in a couple of weeks. Getting the cast off is great. It's so nice to be able to let my leg breathe. It's weird, trying to move that ankle is like an isometric exercise. I can feel the muscle trying, but the ankle doesn't move. I just walked up and down my apartment building's hallway with crutch support. Not bad, a little pain. I'll keep doing that to build up strength and stability.

Deeters posted:You had a Ulysses, right? I sorta remember that in the old CA crash test thread. Hah yeah, exactly. I crashed it in 2014. Insurance repaired it and I wound up selling it and dropping off the face of CA shortly thereafter. My wife and I agreed that while we lived in downtown Chicago, and later downtown New York, there's no point in riding a motorcycle since there's nowhere worth riding nearby anyhow.

Olympic Mathlete posted:poo poo, how have you been getting around then? One of the MTB guys I occasionally watch on the tube broke his ankle and got himself a little kneel on scooter to make moves on. Winter during a pandemic has been the best time to get ankle surgery. I literally haven't left my apartment except to go to doctor's appointments since the end of October, and I took a Lyft when I did. I'd been working from home since March, so I just changed my desk setup a little bit Yes, I went a little crazy but I'm good at being my own company. As far as I can tell, I'll probably transition back into shoes and start physical therapy by the end of February. From what I've read, you start walking normally-ish pretty quickly after your bones heal from this operation. I'll probably always have a limp, but no more than I did before and with less chronic pain.

Applebees Appetizer posted:How do you differentiate tho? It's to the point now that everything is questionable because it seems like all integrity has gone out the window, it's all about ratings and getting the story out first whether it's accurate or not. You pay attention. If a news source is mostly writing shock headlines to make you angry, they're not credible. That's 100% of what the New York Post (and the similarly named Washington Times) does. Not everybody agrees with this chart exactly, but in broad strokes it's pretty good at showing which news sources are worth paying attention to. Take it for what you will:  When you're reading a news story, look for facts. Look for sourced hard information. Then look for opinions, and language that's designed to color your opinion. You'll notice that some publications are better at sticking to the facts, some offer analysis, and some just completely hit you over the head with a folding chair telling you how you should feel.

I was shocked at how good the Binky paint job wound up looking. I bought a tiny quadcopter kit with a first-person-view camera from a friend of mine the other day. I couldn't actually find the quad for a while -- it turns out it packs up into the FPV goggles. Screwed with it for about an hour today. My cats hate it, but they're getting better at ignoring it. I only dropped it into spaghetti sauce once!   Chasing it around the apartment when I've crashed it in some unrecoverable situation is a pretty good excuse to use my bum leg while it recovers.
