    https://www.thestar.com/entertainment/2017/12/19/silicon-valley-and-deadpool-co-star-tj-miller-accused-of-sexual-assault.html There as well. Interesting that both he and his wife deny it, and say this is a vindictive-ex type thing, as they all knew each other in college and all did a comedy...

    The Tech Random Crap Thread

    The first thing I did after my Dad helped me wire my new house was to test the ethernet we put in. I bought the cable, I knew it was correct, but there was always the possibility my crimping jobs were crap, or whatever. I was very happy that I can actually get the gigabit I'm paying for when I...

    The Tech Random Crap Thread

    This is "Geekier" than the average in the videos thread (and that's saying something considering our board here), so I'm putting it here: Follow-up super-duper-crash-course on Neural Networks: And having taken a course on Neural Networks back in University (it was an elective, and about...

    The Internet will never satisfy its lust for Net Neutrality and Bandwidth

    Maybe their regulator is actually enforcing competition instead of trying to regulate monopolies. There's a concept.

    Gas Bandit's Political Thread V: The Vampire Likes Bats

    Critically ill Indigenous rights activist to be assessed by liver specialist in Toronto Headline is deceiving. This is really about the 6-month waiting period if you've had alcohol prior to being eligible for transplant, as I quoted out of the article. Even in the USA or Canada, this smacks...

    The Internet will never satisfy its lust for Net Neutrality and Bandwidth

    Motherboard & VICE Are Building a Community Internet Network I wish them well. They have a lot of challenges to overcome, but I hope they are able to do so, even if just to promote GOOD behavior from the "big guys". Other than technical challenges (which I don't mean to minimize) their...

    Shopping for a new Android phone

    Gas, I have a Pixel, and you need to investigate USB-C chargers. They vary WILDLY with what they support for voltages and such. So you can find others that support Pixel's quick charge, but you need to go looking. A regular computer USB slot, while they definitely have the power in the "box"...

    Gas Bandit's Political Thread V: The Vampire Likes Bats

    Whatever you're de-serializing from has corruption and/or error. If you can 100% reproduce, see if your serialization function is borked, and/or serialize/deserialize are producing/expecting different things, and one is using a pointer that doesn't mean what it thinks it does.

    Whats for Dinner?

    I lament that sometimes the very best food is not accessible. By that I mean that the best cheesecake I've ever had (bar none) is in North Sydney, NS. Not worth 4 hours each way. And the best Risotto (by a WIDE margin) was on St. Pierre. At least I live in a decent-sized city that has some...

    Whats for Dinner?

    If you have cookie sheets, you'd be surprised what you can do in the oven. Roasting vegetables can really do the trick. If you have even ONE frying pan and/or pot, your number of possible meals skyrockets.

    Whats for Dinner?

    Buy a box of frozen fish, and some frozen fries, and some aluminum foil. Do it all in the oven (put the foil on BEFORE pre-heating, or make "trays" of foil if you want to put it in after, but pre-measure that while cold). Boom, fish & chips, no cleanup!
