  • Yes, the output is continuous as it runs and if it crashes it just stops putting out data. The cool thing is you can capture the error codes and back end details so you can often gain an insight to what is failing and why. It may have something like a device not being ready or a library failing to load, but because the range of possible errors is so large the developers may not have a GUI way of showing them. I would recommend taking each of the last few lines one at a time and searching them in your favourite search engine with ardour at the front, like “ardour ERR: glibc not found” or something like that. If someone has the same issue they may have found a solution that works for you.





  • Yoghurt with berries can be a good option if the berries are soft, so stewing strawberries and pears can work well.

    Gnocchi can be slightly overcooked and can be dimply pressed against the roof of the mouth, no chewing needed.

    Protein shakes are awesome, add a little heavy cream and they are filling and tasty.

    Congee (essentially thick rice soup) is great, it has very soft meat with no chewing needed and lots of flavour and texture depending on what you add.

    Lots of French desserts are good like Crème Brulé, along with things like custard, mousse, and even sticky date pudding. The chewing is optional, the tongue is more than strong enough for these, and adding something like cream can help them smooth out and soften a bit.

    Egg in various forms including egg drop soup, boiled egg mashed in a cup with butter, and added raw to rice while the rice is very hot can make for some easy but delicious options.




  • OK so I can definitely see why it would seem pointless or really narrow, but I think this would have actually been very helpful for me and people like me. I have dyspraxia, a coordination disability. Mine is specifically graphomotor, meaning the exact types of movements involved in writing. My handwriting was absolutely terrible, causing pain in my hands (I also had incomplete hand dominance, so yay, both hands sucked equally), inability to express in a written form, and difficulty with tasks like painting, drawing, sewing, and cooking. Over the years the most helpful things were gaining strength and switching to printing only, no running writing at all.

    If this tool could help with increasing the feedback from my hands to my brain and also push my fingers through the shapes of letters I think I would have had some benefit. I think people who have had a stroke may also potentially benefit, though obviously it would need thorough testing.


  • Do you have an interest in the time of her childhood? Perhaps learning about her experience of how the world has changed? Most people find thinking and talking about the world they remember to be enjoyable and she may have interesting and unique perspectives on things. This can lead to learning about bigotry though, so be cautious, but learning about how the world has changed from her perspective could be very interesting.

    The 1960s were a time of massive cultural change and technological advancement, and the 70s were also really cool from a change perspective. Learning how she did things like washing clothes, buying food, learning about something she was interested in, and so on can be really fun.

    Once you have spent a little time chatting and maybe having a tea or coffee it can be a regular little social thing you do, and doing the snow shoveling is much easier to accept from someone you know than from a stranger. It would also make it feel safer knowing who you are rather than just some random younger guy.





  • I disagree. The current setup is like having the real estate have a key and you have a swipe card. The swipe card let’s you into parts of the house but you don’t have access to the basement or electrical box. If you wanted access to those you could ask but the real estate basically says no unless they really messed up, and even then they send a tradesperson to do the work and give them the key. If that tradespersons loses the key or gives it to someone else the real estate shrugs and says “What do you want us to do about it? Security is hard.”

    They also have a contract for all the furniture, most of which is bolted down, so you can’t even rearrange your house, let alone install a hand rail in the bathroom for your disabled brother who needs support getting in and out. You also can’t install anything on the walls like a TV or a picture frame, and attempting to do so would lead to the possibility of piercing a pipe or cutting a wire in the wall because you don’t have schematics.

    You can’t put a different OS on, you can’t modify the one you have, and breaking any of the protections on software is a violation of the DMCA, so you are a renter. You rent the device, they control the features, they decide what parts are available to the public (usually none), they decide when it will be end of life, and they make it very technically difficult to repair anything by using parts pairing. If they sold the device as a subscription with hardware upgrades included, repairs included, ongoing support included, then maybe locking it down would be OK, but otherwise no, it is unreasonable and I don’t think we really own our devices in a meaningful sense.

    This is simply incorrect. Implementing a lock on a bootloader is not dissimilar to a lock on your house. A person breaking in doesn’t care that they are breaking the law, they just need to find the how of breaking in. If I as a consumer want to enter my house or give a copy of my key to someone else as a backup I should be able to do so. If I want to leave my door unlocked I should have that right however foolhardy it is. And when it comes to locking the bootloader of a computer most people won’t notice it in general use but that isn’t the point. It is about the edge cases, the end of life for the device, the lack of security updates.


  • To clarify, the charges brought in the Florida district could have been brought in another venue, but the crime was the documents being withheld in Florida, so that is the correct venue. It could have gotten way through the process and been appealed due to incorrect venue and we would have been back at the start.

    That said, I think getting Cannon removed would have been more likely to bear fruit. She had clear evidence of bias and would have been way past the threshold of appearance of impropriety, so getting her removed would have been a fairly likely path to success. Unfortunately the supreme court was so flooded by idealogues that it would have been appealed and they would have either held it up or overturned it and gotten her back on, or just dismissed the case in some other way.

    What was needed was a much more aggressive approach from both Biden and Garland. Biden to change the number of supreme court justices and to direct his justice department to deeply investigate all of the justices on the court. Garland to open said investigations, push for intelligence agency support, and lots of speaking indictments to get information in front of voters.



  • If already cold a fridge should use very little power on an ongoing basis. The peak draw should still be high if it is running the compressor, but the peak may only be for a few seconds or even less. So an 800W fridge may peak at that full draw for just long enough to start the compressor then drop down to something similar to what you said you had for the rest of the cycle. If it were empty and warm to start I would expect a higher load for a while, but again, the big draw is starting the motor,kicking off the compression cycle, so 150W is reasonable to me.

    One thing to consider is having a reason to live. Find something you care about or are interested in an leverage that interest.

    Think of it like a car. Making explosions doesn’t actually do anything for us in terms of getting somewhere, so we have to make a complex machine to turn that force into motion. I have an interest in electronics, so making electronic things to, for example, weigh my washing basket to tell me when to put on a load will turn some of that interest into activity.

    As for nobody getting it, my partner does. They are my rock and they need me, so double win there. When I am having overwhelm they don’t judge or condemn, they actually understand and help me find my calm and get things sorted. It took a lot of luck to find my partner and years of working together to be functional but now we are like an engine and a gearbox. They help me convert my efforts into useful stuff. They also help me know when to take a break and rest. Maybe something similar can exist for you?
