@RL_Dane I've always struggled to understand the hardware side of used machines like this. I could use a new home computer, so what gen should I be looking for?
I am curious if the "announcment" feature Mastodon admins have access to is actually useful.
I suspect many people never see them. I think I've only ever seen it displayed in the "official" mastodon web UI. And never in any of the (many) apps I use.
Does anyone who uses #OpenTracks on #Android know where marker photos are stored? I took some pictures on a ride today, but I can't find the actual picture anywhere outside the app.
@joel@dm i only use newpipe on my phone. It's frustrating sometimes when it breaks, but I have to remember it's a small team fighting Google's antics and that maybe I don't need to be on YouTube at that moment anyways.
One of the delightful side benefits of being a teacher is learning all kinds of new stuff either from what your students bring or from researching questions your students ask.
@ai6yr I'm trying to scale up this year to sell with my brother's farm and this is my sticking point. I've got two apiaries right now and I'm feeling the equipment squeeze. Might just go for it.
@ai6yr I'm in SW Michigan and I'm already running out of space. We've had a great spring with plenty of rain, but not so much they can't harvest. I have caught at least 3 swarms already (not from my yard, either) and split most hives. I've got a couple that are waiting on mated queens and the brood chambers are filling with nectar, so I need to do something pretty soon.
@ai6yr This is unrelated, but how do you store unused equipment? Of my three swarms, all have been into my barn, clustering on plastic bins holding waxed frames. All my boxes are empty and have unwaxed, new frames. I need to figure out a new solution 😅
@ai6yr Yeah, I'm really surprised they went for the plastic totes. I didn't think they'd be able to get in, but maybe there's a gap somewhere that I didn't notice underneath the handle.
I cleaned out some beehives for a farmer who's original keeper just stopped showing up and it was a wax moth nightmare. Hoping to never have to deal with that again. The perk to storing outdoors is that our hard winters kill everything without taking up my freezer space.
I've noticed a big shift toward, "We should be teaching kids how to cite AI."
That's antithetical to citations. A citation points you to the original source. Citing AI is effectively erasing original sources in a misguided effort to "teach students how to responsibly use AI tools."
Responsible use is teaching people that AI tools are plagiarism machines. Period.
I have a branch that says it's up to date with the upstream (fork of a repo). I'm trying to contribute a patch, but my commit history in the PR has 26 commits from things that have already been merged rather than my changes from the current head.
Is there an acceptable way to clean up that history so my PR is clean?
Another apparatus question: anyone know what this is?
Two glass bulbs connected by a glass tube. Watery orange liquid inside.
**Edit: It's called a "pulse glass" or "Franklin's palm glass."
A liquid with a very low boiling point is sealed. Holding one bulb will boil the liquid and it will flow to the opposite side. Used to show vapor pressure, IMFs, etc. Very cool piece of old equipment.
Does anyone have a brand (or type) of decaffeinated coffee they would like to share? My wife and I like bold roasts and we're trying to cut down on our caffeine intake. We'd like to still drink a lot of coffee, but not feel jittery.
@joel From an "old(er) person", this is 100% normal.
This is your first career job, and it's a very different dynamic from working a part time or seasonal job. You're still learning the culture and the people who make up that culture.
I started in a new school last August and I felt the same things - not really sure how to connect with people or start to share a little about myself without feeling pushy. I've found they're just as interested in getting to know me as I am to know them.
Does anyone teach a new media studies class that goes through the entire discography and music video library of Rage Against the Machine as a curriculum?
People who make their own bread or soup: is it possible to do this without using a lot of salt but still have an acceptable taste? I really like both bread and soup but anything pre-made has huge amounts of salt in (2g for a tin of soup, 0.5-0.8g for every couple of slices of bread or a roll, so a serving of soup + bread is often >50% of the RDA for salt).
