I had to get an Arduino IDE up and compiling on a Kubuntu 18.04 install. In order to not forget what I did, I made this little post. This is not super detailed but it should get the job done. Grad the 64-bit version of the Arduino IDE (or the 32-bit version if you absolutely […]

I’ve recently been looking at building instruments using a 3D printer.

I discovered Mitchell Heisman’s “Suicide Note” via a concise article on responses to the story.

I’ve been reading “Suicide Note” since I found the article, on and off. Mitchell might have benefitted from an editor, but there is no doubt the work is philosophically an opus par excellence.

Nihilism is not my thing - I do not agree with his core philosophy that life is entirely without meaning - but the way he gets there, and some of the ideas he presents are wonderful. There are things to take away from it all that will likely resonate with me for the rest of my life - as works by all good philosophers have.

To this day, Wikipedia have repressed information about him based on a subjective rules that don’t recognise that the guy’s work is actually worth reading. I expect in due course academics will start to cite him, and that situation will change.

Out there is a growing movement to recognise him. There have already been calls from some - perhaps over-excited - individuals for him to be award a Nobel Prize in literature posthumously. I wouldn’t go that far, but I would encourage those who can deal with it to consider his work.

The recent lawsuit involving the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and subsequent news coverage have sparked significant discussion within the Realtor community. I’d like to take this opportunity to share my perspective on the home buying and selling process, how Realtors are compensated, and the concept of ‘Uncompensated Effort.’ Realtors earn what is known as a ‘Success Fee.’ Essentially, we provide all our services for free until the transaction is closed and funded, at which point we receive a commission. Efforts that do not result in a closing are what I call ‘Uncompensated Effort.’ Every Realtor incurs this overhead, and it’s an integral part of a system that benefits consumers. Both buyers and sellers appreciate this system because it allows them to access services at no cost, even if they never purchase a home or their property doesn’t sell. For example, a buyer might contact an Austin Realtor based on ... Read more

The term “oriental rug” can be a source of some confusion to those unfamiliar with the subject. It literally means a rug manufactured in the Orient, and could legitimately be applied to any rug of oriental origin, regardless of its appearance or how it was made. In practice, however, the term is normally used only to describe hand-made rugs produced by traditional methods in the ancient weaving regions of Persia (Iran), Anatolia (Turkey), Afghanistan, the Caucasus, Baluchistan, Turkistan, China, India, Pakistan, the Balkans, and parts of North Africa. An oriental rugs, in order to be truly authentic within the generally accepted meaning of the term, must be either hand-knotted or hand-woven, originate from one of the traditional weaving regions and also follow certain ancestral patterns of composition and design.

Il semblerait donc bien qu'Intel refuse les demandes de RMA pour les processeurs 14900K qui sont touchés par des soucis d'instabilité et qui utilisaient de la pâte thermique en métal liquide. Cela fait écho à un problème de prise en charge d'un de nos lecteurs, mais cela semble être la même chose pour un autre utilisateur à Hong Kong. Intel a refusé la garantie du processeur car l'IHS de ce dernier avait été détérioré par la pâte thermique, rendant illisible les numéros de série du processeur. Dans les termes de garantie des bleus, il est bien mentionné qu'un processeur exploitant du Liquid Metal Thermal Interface Material ne sera pas pris en garantie. On peut donc penser que les bleus sont dans leur bon droit et c'est le cas. […]

Ever wondered how that glass of red wine or weekend beer binge affects your muscle gain or fat loss? You're not alone! In this episode, we're breaking down the complex relationship between alcohol and performance. No, this isn't an anti-alcohol rant, but a real talk about what alcohol does to your gains.

What to Expect:

• The Alcohol Question: From a casual drink with dinner to weekend partying, we're exploring how alcohol impacts your bodybuilding journey.
• The Complexity of Alcohol: It's not just about "to drink or not to drink." We're diving into the nuances of timing, quantity, and the real effects on your body.
• The Facts and Myths: No scientific jargon here, just straightforward insights into how alcohol affects protein synthesis, testosterone levels, dehydration, vitamins, and fat storage.

Highlights:

1. Protein Synthesis: Excessive drinking can hinder how your body absorbs and uses protein, slowing down your gains.
2. Testosterone Levels: Alcohol can lower testosterone and increase estrogen, not what you want when building muscle.
3. Dehydration: Alcohol can dehydrate you, affecting your strength and performance in the gym.
4. Vitamins and Minerals: Excessive drinking can deplete essential vitamins and minerals, impacting overall health.
5. Fat Storage: Alcohol's empty calories can lead to increased fat storage, especially if consumed excessively.

Personal Insights:

• Marc's Experience: I share my personal journey with alcohol, from daily red wine to cutting back, and how it affected my body.
• Real-Life Stories: Hear about a friend who dropped 20 pounds just by changing his drinking habits.

Conclusion:

Whether you're bulking, cutting, or just trying to stay fit, understanding how alcohol affects your performance is key. It's not about complete abstinence but finding the right balance for your goals. Track your diet, be mindful of your choices, and remember, moderation is key.
