@Gribnit You wanna say that german nazis who managed to make it into the US then went on to become lawn fashists for HOAs or municipal administrations?
I'm not much of a spelling nazi, but I couldn't help noticing the way you've misspelled "fascist" twice.

Hey we invented all the most important parts of Naziism. You literally copied the concentration camps from us for instance. Damn upstarts.

either my truck battery has suddenly decided to die in the last two days or an unexpected power-drawing item has been attached.
Or your alternator is not charging it.
If you have a multimeter, jump start the truck and check that the battery is receiving 13 to 15v DC
It is. Well, was. New battery is working fine.

I've been doing a few push-ups when coming out of bed. It was terrible doing even just one, at first, but now it's becoming almost second nature doing 8 or 10 first thing in the morning.
I lift weight first thing in the morning.
The weight of my coffee mug
I lift my self doubts.

Are they more or less heavy than the doubts the rest of us have about you?

High Quality: you can rely on the fact that I will always spell it the same, 100% repeatable.

A battery for a normal car, or for a Tesla?
Yes.

@izzion Add 11 more hours to it, save all the daylight into batteries and then use it when it's dark during the... day?

@izzion Move to the west side of Malaysia - at their local time zone, sun rise is at 7 AM, sun set at 7 PM. All year round, just plus/minus some 30 minutes.

@izzion For me, it isn't. I found that over-consuming rendered it insufficiently effective.

Sounds like the delusional rantings of someone with too much blood in their caffeine delivery system

Yeah. I don't generally consume anything with caffeine in it after lunchtime now for the same reason.

Status: Someone was going to e-waste this DataMan 8500 wireless barcode scanner.
I assume it was because there was no battery in it.
Sadly, I could not locate the power adapter.
Luckily the base uses PoE!
Let's see if I can repair it....

Yeah. I don't generally consume anything with caffeine in it after lunchtime now for the same reason.
On workdays, I generally have one large mug of tea (≈ 1 cup of coffee) in the morning and one in the afternoon. On the weekends, I avoid it altogether, except Sundays that I volunteer at church; the role in which I volunteer requires a high degree of alertness, and I require 1.5x my workday intake.

Isn't it that difficult when you have to listen to the sermons?

@Tsaukpaetra but but that's not the same thing.
That presumes you're starting to reply and coming back later, surely?
What you want is almost a temporary bookmark; I personally do this in other toxic hellstews with a 'mark as unread' feature.

On a different device, presumably. Yes.

If all ya wanted was a bookmark...
But bookmarks (and not the internal "bookmark") are really kinda jank anyways. I keep forgetting they're a thing even though I have like 50 of them...
-
@Tsaukpaetra I don't mean bookmarks like that, because that's for coming back to something for reference later. I do mean something more ephemeral and with a distinct 'remind me later' vibe.

Status: Believe it or not, it’s actually possible to acquire a Rhamphorhynchus plush –
At least, it would be, if it were ever in stock. So three years ago, I punched in an email address to be notified if more materialised. No news…
Until this morning:
Yeah, that’s a hefty price tag, but I don’t care and there’s no time to consider. I need it.
My disappointment is immeasurable. Three years for nothing
And apparently it comes in adult and flapling sizes now. Well, back on the list I go…
-
Have you considered learning how to make plush toys yourself?
-
@Zerosquare
It’s worth considering,¹ but although I have some non-zero degree of competence in sewing with a needle or sewing machine, I have no clue or experience how to do anything else. How do you get nice colours? What gives the right shape and stability?Crucially, I don’t really want to invest the time and expense towards being able to do it well. Especially not amongst all the other side projects floating about that I can already tackle more confidently.
But maybe twenty years from now, I’ll finally be putting the finishing touches on one of my own, and on that day there’ll be another available for sale.
¹ Consideration is worth considering. Yes. I’ll consider the implications of this.
