I still listen to it a lot. It's one of my favourite albums of all.

Slack flickers a lot for me, no idea why. I haven't updated macOS yet because I don't love the look of the new liquid glass stuff. I think this makes me 2 majors behind now...

Fairly common in houses with the space for them, but they often come in washer/dryer combos if you don't have the space. These are about as effective as using a hairdryer to dry your clothes and take about 3hrs after the initial wash.

The tumble dryer I had in the US could do a full load dry in about 25-30 mins. Maybe it was significantly more wasteful in terms of energy.

Ahh yes. Anything in the user section of the email, not the domain. This was not possible to do on protonmail.

Ahh yeah it was probably a protonmail limitation then. Or maybe needing to manually add to both proton and Thunderbird was the friction I remember.

It definitely does for me in both web and android. You can setup specific hardcoded aliases for routing purposes but I have a wildcard/catchall and I can put anything in the From when I compose or reply to an email.

Editable from field is also the only reason I was using it with protonmail. I can't remember if it was a protonmail limitation or a Thunderbird one that meant I had to pre-add any email addresses before I could send any messages from them though.

Now I'm on fastmail, the from address is an input box that I can put anything into.

I've been doing this as well! It's always 6pm-7pm for me which is when my Cosy tariff has the peak rate anyway, which I try to not use. So for no behaviour change I normally get 1-2hrs of free electricity on a Sunday morning! I got 15kWh for free this week by having the immersion, heat pump, washing machine and tumble dryer running. Not bad for 0 effort on my part.

Why does this site need JS at all? It appears to inject all of the other languages via client side JS. Why can't they all just be served from the server?

Yeah I was wondering this also. I had no idea they had some shared blob (or maybe they have source code access) that runs in all of their cars. Would love to read more about how this process works if anyone knows!

Wonder if they all get given a thumb drive at the start of the weekend with the latest patch. Release notes saying "library updates and bug fixes, now go drive 200mph around a track! Have fun!"

> The PS5 may be my last console.

I'm in agreement with this. I'll likely do some kind of Steam Machine or self-build version running SteamOS. Would lose some exclusives but I don't think they're worth losing my freedom. Paying the money for a computer that I can't actually use leaves a poor taste.

Ironically Larry David always seems to be at dinner parties in Curb. Maybe it's a wealthy person activity or maybe it's just comedy gold coming up with a new reason why he pisses off the host and gets kicked out again.

Same as UK farmers voting for Brexit whilst being beneficiaries of EU subsidies for farming.

Just curious... Would Asahi Linux allow me to run llama.cpp on my m1? I have a spare laptop with lots of memory, wondering whether performance could be improved by using Asahi over running models on macOS?
