What? That couldn't be a landlord, there is actual color! If it was the same flat, white paint on every surface I'd believe it.

Good on ya, that's an awful lot of work. I did something similar years ago with 2,000 emails and it took forever.

The thing to do now is stay on top of the emails coming in and unsubscribe or block any that remain. If you can stem the flow you won't need to purge again.

Yeah, that's nice and all, but is that a glass of milk and fucking ketchup?

"Can you fucking not?"

Depends on the costume. One year I spent almost $200 on Wreck-it Ralph, but that was a pair of overalls and two shirts I can still wear. The next was like $1000+ on electronics and components for a LED wizard orb I spent a month making and like $20 in fabric for a robe. This year was probably $50 for fabric, cardboard, and tape for a terrible Ken The Butcher costume.

What you do is entirely up to you and your situation. Cheap materials make it cheaper, but the costume may only be single use. The orb was stupid expensive because I went fancy and made an object that would last, but that's hardly necessary.

I did a similar project with a raspberry pi pico w and a glitter lamp. I ended up destroying the surface mount LEDs trying to solder them in to the board and instead replaced them with my own. The stirring motor was good, and a button to control it from the outside was a nice addition. Put the whole thing together with ESP Home and it's fantastic. Also allowed me to switch from disposable batteries to a standard USB cable for power.

The issues get fixed, conversation happens, and there is content worth engaging in without feeling like an endless trap of doomscrolling.

Top ten answers on the board; we asked 100 users "How will Canva cover the costs of the software development if Affinity is free?"

I literally was working with a user who was trying to copy a missing file from a screenshot of an error. They navigated to the folder, verified the file wasn't there, opened a new tab to grab the file off a server, then started trying to use ChatGPT to extract the path from the screenshot to document it for later.

I instead just went back to the first tab and copied the path before he could think of how to word the prompt.

Every Minecraft update just makes me hum "Where's the modding API" again.

Crossing the street is a momentary delay, a few seconds while driver sits in a climate-controlled chair with optional music, but parking across a sidewalk hinders people for minutes, hours, or even days until it is removed. The road isn't wide enough to allow people to safely enter the street to go around the obstruction, and that says nothing about those who rely on sidewalls for free movement such as the elderly, injured, and disabled.

In short, blocking other people for longer than is reasonable makes you a dick.

When testing Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Cyber noticed a shockingly significant jump in FPS, with Linux generating ~32% more FPS compared to Windows. This trend follows at lower wattages, albeit with less noticeable differences, and the delta actually plateaus in Hogwarts Legacy to the point that both Bazzite and the Xbox FSE offer the same FPS at 13W. That being said, those frame rates are much more consistent on Linux, according to Cyber, who shows that the FPS graph on Windows fluctuates regularly, while staying mostly flat on Bazzite.

I find Blue Sky gained a lot of the artists that left Twitter. Many post freely, post commissioned works, or have a donation or subscription based platform to share work on. Discovery is ass, but many repost or comment on other artists so you can find a lot of similarly interesting creators that way.

Why do you need a receipt from eBay after 5 years? You got the shit, now pretend it never happened like any other shady deal.

There are 15 non-whitespace characters in "the numbers above".

This was a new game to me and I'm surprised I did as well as I did. History and geography are some of my worst subjects.
