3 months agoI’ve seen many suggestions to sue Canada. I’m really not sure what they imagine that would accomplish.

9·4 months agoMaybe? Only if the surface is sloped to the sides and otherwise perfectly flat. And this is a vast surface to have the resin set like that, if such a thing is even possible without some shaping and polishing after it cures.
That reminds me, let’s not talk about the water that would collect on top lol
Aesthetics of solids vs flowing liquids aside, resin just doesn’t hold up very well under constant UV light. I don’t want to know what it would cost just to tear it up, nevermind replace it when that happens. Unless there’s some super resin I dont know about.
Other considerations:
- a million particles would get trapped in the resin before it cures.
- resin heats as it cures which could do massive damage to the basin at such large volumes.
- that amount of resin would be a nightmare to mix/pour evenly and cure quality would be highly dependent on weather. You’d probably have to do it in layers, which just creates more opportunity for debris to get trapped inside.
- wear and tear. I bet you would have all sorts of people and wildlife walking around on it and scratching it up.
- stains from said people and wildlife.
- yellowing and clouding over time, which will make it not so reflective plus plastics in general are a bitch and a half to buff/polish
…honestly you’d be far better off filling it with polished concrete or stone. Just commit to the bit at that point. You can even dye it.
Fair enough. Mine is secondhand off ebay, far from “new computer” expensive, but I get having to make-do for things you don’t really need.
I recently installed mint myself! I have it set up to dual-boot with windows.
It’s been relatively pain-free and the OS itself is great! but I fucked up not partitioning enough space for my home directory (thinking I’d store most things on a separate drive or share with my windows partition until I was ready to fully jump to linux - this was very dumb of me). The fix has been annoying enough (my installation media won’t run anymore so I either have to fix the media or find a way to partition a drive while it is in use) that I have just defaulted to using Windows most of the time.
I also had some windows-mirrored drives that I just decided to split for the time being until I find a way to re-mirror them without accidentally torching my data, or I at least have it backed up somewhere first.
Techno-babble aside, the install itself is easy as long as you don’t try to do anything complicated like I did. If you do decide to dual-boot despite this warning, just make sure you partition ample space for all of your applications and data. Otherwise you should be just fine and tbh I wish I’d done it sooner (and better lol).
I just have a cheap media laptop for when my desktop is not an option.
No my friend this is very much a dumb tv I will never own a smart tv in my lifetime if I can help it
I inherited a 2000s-2010ish? era flat screen that was missing its remote, plus the built in power button was on its way out, but I happened upon a remote from the very same (possibly now defunct) brand in a thrift store in the same week the power button stopped working so uh I think this 36 inch 720p tv was destined to live out the rest of its days on my wall and who am I to deny fate
That’s a massive part of the problem I have with it
Roku has always been an absolute garbo user experience for me I can’t believe anyone does that shit willingly
Interesting, I somehow didn’t realize they were still poking around Ötzi’s remains. Thanks for the info!
I’m more responding to the concept of violating human remains to produce something for human consumption than this specific case which I am unfamiliar with.
Oh, well I guess that guy 8000 years ago really missed out on a golden opportunity for yummy treats. Thank goodness someone more civilized came along. Finders keepers!
We plundered a human burial site and violated the sacred traditions of an ancient culture so that we could make yummy treats out of the remains.
I suppose if there’s a time for me to finally submit to the cold, bleak, gluten free lifestyle dictated by my immune system, it would be now.
There’s no way this isn’t some kind of viral marketing campaign
Seconding this. Although, lucky me, I live in a state that just doubled the price to register my EV every year to an eye-watering $400 since we don’t pay gas taxes. The cost for ICE vehicles is $60.
rant
“The EVs are very heavy and have a big impact on our roads, so we need money from those owners and lessees to help.” - meanwhile my EV is 1000lb lighter than your average F-150. Which in terms of road damage, still does not compare to the issue of our weight limit for semis being more than double the federal limit (and to boot I’ve not once seen a weigh station that was actually open).
"We definitely need the revenue to fix the roads,” fuck the damn roads. We’ve been “fixing the damn roads” since they graced the face of the earth. Every political candidate basically makes it their entire personality to “fix the damn roads” and
ers go hog fucking wild for it. If it were up to me (or any of the neighborhoods that were demolished to make room for them) we would have never built the damn roads in the first place and invested all those trillions of dollars into rail.
eat fuck dumbass
