turn the cover inside-out. put your arms inside and grab the far corners. grab two corners of the duvet along with the cover corners, then pull everything back out through the opening, re-skinning the duvet

Achmed Jones posted:

the duvet cover is just a cover for the duvet. as far as i can tell, duvets are comforters that take covers. it goes over the sheet, and is not a replacement for it. for that reason it doesn't get dirty a lot unless you have big smelly long dogs that jump on the bed with you

Man it's gonna be waffleimages 2.0 for the forums when twitter finally kicks the bucket. I wonder if there's some sort of screenshot script that could be run that would convert tweets from an embed into something archivable for the forums.

exe cummings posted:

yeah a lambda running puppeteer could both scrape the forums and create screenshots from embeds. with an admin login it could even edit posts and replace the embed. is it worth the compute cost? probably not

i would bet that they are not doing it.

also, do you really think it's a good idea to go loving around directly in post tables? in the database comprised at least 50% of undocumented bitfields?

there needs to be a "directions from your dad" mode

"go for about two miles then turn left by the big tree"
"you know, the one next to the bench"
"on the corner where the key cutting place is"
"that key cutter used to be a motorbike shop"
"i nearly bought a bike from them in 1968 but didn't"
"ok it's half a mile, then turn left"
"guess the key cutter shut down"
"left now"
"...i meant right"

i got some brain drugs recently and it made things kinda marginally maybe better and then i forgot my pills at home when i was away for a weekend so i did a double dose for a few days the next week to make up for it and i'm gonna ask my doctor for a large prescription because the larger dose actually did something for me.

rotor posted:

its not adderal so i dont think thats so much of an issue.

wrt dosage the doc said it was a very low dose to start and if it didnt do anything to tell him so i dont think a couple days of double-steppin it is bad.

these are all general fraud cases against individual employees that happen to involve PHI. The first one involves an actual hipaa violation by the company (storing PHI in a google drive) for which there was no enforcement action. they just put a person in jail for accessing the unsecured data after termination without addressing the HIPAA violation

i appreciate this comeback a lot

eh, let's do a better apology: spent too much of my day arguing ethics with phd students (who were way more wrong than anyone here) and was in a bad mood. yospos being yospos do enjoy any brand of anti-technology you prefer.

personally not going to start liking woz, but as far as vibes go i was in the wrong.

the bicycle remains the fastest form of transport in a dense city up to a radius of 8km. i.e. if your destination is closer than 8km, it is comparable or faster to bike instead of taking public transport or driving a car. from my personal experience this theory holds both in tokyo and paris

nyc is preparing to spend almost $8 billion to build 1 mile of tunnels and 2.5 stations

I have no idea where all the money goes but a big part of it is probably that manhattan is already 100% developed. you can't build subway without tearing something down and that means you have to eminent domain some properties which is a huge protracted court battle with a rich guy, each time

the aging millennial sits in his corvette in the driveway, revving the engine. "daaaad time for dinner!" i'll be there in a minute son, i'm driving! "dad. you know you can't drive anymore. they took your license away 5 years ago" i know i know i'm not going anywhere, i just want to hear the VROOM

The solution for cars at least is to just play fake vroom sounds over the speakers inside the cabin

i recognize that my opinion here is an extreme one, but after watching enough episodes of "just rolled in", i don't think it should be legal for a layman to mess around with anything in the powertrain of their car. cosmetic is fine, if you want to plasti-dip everything pink go wild. but gently caress around with the safety critical components and then drive on public roads? hell no, you should either have to pay an exorbitant amount to have it done professionally AND then pass a government inspection... or if you want a faster car, you should just buy a faster car.
