The bar for losing your job as a congress person or any public servant for corruption should be way lower than the bar for being sent to prison.

There’s “knowing how” and there’s having your mobile constantly within arms reach.

Also, her obvious corruption. Her and her husband make waaaaaaaay above average on the stock market due to her insider knowledge. But I’m sure that never affects her policy positions.

Don’t forget his “lawsuit” against Media Matters.

The fact you assumed this was ideologically motivated is insane. Do you have any critical thinking skills?

As a manual car enjoyer, my brain does all these tasks automatically without the need for conscious attention.

There are very few Linux viruses. With its low market share, it’s not a juicy target, or at least not desktop users.

I don’t think it’s a given and the dev has a proven track record.

…buuuuuutttt they did move to a much smaller userbase so I wonder how many ads he will need for sustainability.

Republican primary suicide.

Imperial is definitely worse, but the number of teaspoons or tablespoons to a cup (48 and 16) is useless information. Do you measure out 50 grams one gram at a time? Do you regularly use the fact that a kilometer is 100,000 cm?

The most common way to sense velocity is to have two switches at different levels and calculate the delta to see how fast it moves between them. This does require precision, though.

I’m a pianist, and pianists are often very particular about how musical keyboards feel. There doesn’t appear to be a very large DIY community around it. Getting a digital keyboard to feel good has a lot of elements. It seems that it’s very expensive to design and manufacture a music keyboard, let alone to do it modularly as the keyboard community has. I would expect it to require a lot of compromises that I wouldn’t be willing to deal with except as a hobby project.

Synths, on the other hand, have a HUGE DIY community and that sometimes extends to making keyboards. But for me, it rarely seems worth it to fabricate a keyboard when a MIDI controller with MIDI cables or MIDI over USB can be had as cheaply as $50 or to have a really well done one for under $150.

I’d be more interested in modding an existing keyboard than I would creating my own from scratch.

I found this list of links related to diy instrument and synth making in case you’re interested. https://sdiy.info/wiki/Online_resources

This is such a niche topic that you should probably seek out a traditional forum. Also, check out Look Mum No Computer for some inspiration.

Lamarckian evolution mixed with racism, wow. I’m not surprised.

Current user of Niagara here, it’s just a unique option. You have favorites on a scrollable list (one app per line) and then you can scroll down an alphabetical list of all apps by letter on the side. Plus the optional subscription is $5 a year, which is actually reasonable in my opinion.

St Louis actually has a music scene so I go to see live music, especially festivals nearby or 1/2 states away. Regular bands, opera, symphony, jazz, musicals, etc. Kansas City is nearby enough that I can pop over if I’m excited for a big act. Chicago is a train ride away.

Tabletop rpgs or video games. I’m moving away from crunchy games like D&D towards narrative focused stuff. MoTW, Dungeon World, Wanderhome, one-page RPGs.

I’m a weird coffee person so I have a booklet where I rate coffees and I brew at home.

Cooking is a hobby of mine that I quite enjoy, especially when I invite friends over to help.
