Thank you.

Brian Higgins had an unbelievably good 2023.

Would you care to list them so the conversation can be more complete?

No, the boomers with all their magic environment poisoning synthetic fabrics with antiwrinkle coatings did. The next seven generations will have microplastics in every part of their body, but I haven’t touched an iron in a while.

Sorry, I must have skimmed too quickly and missed that.

Look for an expiration date. Radionucleotide style detectors end up failing with false positives when they reach end of life. You might need to have all the old ones replaced.

Maybe lemmy is too popular for the hipsters.

The majority of people occupying the same bed will have congruent driver/passenger sides. Distant strangers don’t need to know which side you are referring to. Couples from different regions could adopt the local convention.

You could just leave a line attached to the raft and a pole on shore.

Maybe if it supported driving 3+ displays for use as a workstation docking station. If it was on the order of $150-$300 it would be price competitive with thunderbolt docking stations.

That was arguably a separate faction, although the fellowship did do their best to inspire them to acts of war.

My wife got repeated infections and had a lot of pain from the copper iud.

If you go looking for testimonials you’ll find numerous people who had bad experiences with it.

Also, they really should offer anesthetic or at least a powerful painkiller for the insertion and removal procedures. Doctors act like it’s no big deal, but it’s very painful.

4 pump impeller failures in 5 years. 1 time a mask strap got past the strainer. I’ll take the blame on that, but the other 3 were just long hair and bad design/materials choices.

And the algorithm AI does magic to make our product more awesome than the competitor.

Yeah, the lack of formal definition of what is and is not considered ai definitely muddies the waters when talking about applications and capabilities.

4 times in the last 5 years.

There’s a combination of flaws. The strainer basket doesn’t do a very good job keeping debris out of the impeller. There’s little separation between the steainer and the impeller. So long hairs that are partially caught in the strainer can still wrap around the impeller.

The pump itself has a terrible impeller design. The impeller is nylon and is press fit onto a 1/8 brass rod that just has a flat ground on it, no knurling or splines. The nylon cracks easily and ends up free spinning.

They use the same pump in loads of washer models. So yes, there’s a very large user base, but that’s a lot of people with part failures. The pump is garbage and lg should not be using it.

I’m constantly replacing the drain pump in my LG washer. When a replacement part has thousands of reviews on amazon, you know the brand has to know their parts are crap and either doesn’t care or wanted it that way. They’re on my never buy list now.

Ai is already being incorporated into chip design tools like synopsys. TechTechPotato has an interesting interview with Aart de Geus that is relevant.

Ai is far off from making high level design improvements, but it can greatly reduce the workload on trace and route and other design steps.

The terrible state of online play ruined everything nintendo for me.

It definitely has aspects that could be considered magic, but I wouldn’t necessarily compare them to the Force.

I vaguely remember that being a thing for early commercial 8k projectors, but I don’t know anything about the implementation.

So you just need 3 4090’s with 1 displayport each to the monitor and a whole new version of sli.
