I've seen people flying down roads on these with no gear; no real helmet, not even a bike helmet. These things have like 8" wheels and zero suspension. If you hit a pothole you're a meat crayon. I'm surprised no one does, but a kick bike with a hub motor and (at minimum platform-) suspension would be /way/ safer AND you could go faster. https://static.noauthority.social/media_attachments/files/117/135/043/850/759/774/original/5bf2cd3f18836435.png https://static.noauthority.social/media_attachments/files/117/135/049/281/670/745/original/cfc43525390cc4c2.png npub1hqyd2qg8e5j40n4tzg6sy77mcdgyn3jva7xz7wapm8hn63wxq0pqtls7lf Matt Hamilton @nprofile…d3qt Omnidirectional handhelds (non-HF) aren't going to broach a mountain range without a repeater, especially if you're both in a valley. I think this ultimately comes down to what repeaters you can use. Hopefully there is a repeater on a mountain somewhere you both have line of sight to. You'll have to search repeaterbook or w/e. You may luck out with a conveniently placed LoRA: https://meshmap.net/ https://meshcore.io/map If voice is required, look for DMR repeaters. npub1hqyd2qg8e5j40n4tzg6sy77mcdgyn3jva7xz7wapm8hn63wxq0pqtls7lf Matt Hamilton Database has been weird over the last couple of weeks, so I'm going to take the site down for hardware maintenance tonight.

I love it when a foreign country is integrated into my counter-unmanned defense systems, machine learning, autonomous systems, directed energy weapons, cyber defense, EWAR, biotechnology, bio-manufacturing, medical defense, and missile and air defense technologies. I love it when they fusion my data.

This has gone on too long. It’s time to invade Canada, kill all the Indians, then burn every tree in the country so they can no longer disturb my air with their incompetent forestry management. npub1hqyd2qg8e5j40n4tzg6sy77mcdgyn3jva7xz7wapm8hn63wxq0pqtls7lf Matt Hamilton Dreaming is the worst. “Yes, I’d like a torturous nonsensical Hell every night, possibly multiple times a night, for the rest of my life.” I’m going to start putting lead fishing weights in my coffee or something. npub1hqyd2qg8e5j40n4tzg6sy77mcdgyn3jva7xz7wapm8hn63wxq0pqtls7lf Matt Hamilton @nprofile…al6u @nprofile…lsen substantiate this claim (I’m ignorant) npub1hqyd2qg8e5j40n4tzg6sy77mcdgyn3jva7xz7wapm8hn63wxq0pqtls7lf Matt Hamilton In a real society we would throw these sacks off the cruise ship and disperse what little they haven’t deeded to the private equity owned retirement facility back to their family. Then we’d execute everyone remotely associated with the private equity firm.

We can either take away their ability to vote along with their driver’s licenses, or we can wait for them to die and kill a mini-van with a woman and three kids. Boomers are too brainwashed; they’re fucking cattle. npub1hqyd2qg8e5j40n4tzg6sy77mcdgyn3jva7xz7wapm8hn63wxq0pqtls7lf Matt Hamilton https://static.noauthority.social/media_attachments/files/116/777/246/131/901/106/original/e78c186e54370d5c.jpeg npub1hqyd2qg8e5j40n4tzg6sy77mcdgyn3jva7xz7wapm8hn63wxq0pqtls7lf Matt Hamilton I hate white trash, wearing your pajamas everywhere, either fat as fuck or sunken-cheeks meth face. These “people” are disgusting sub-humans and should be confined to a camp. Without them making us look bad I could do what I love most: drinking while driving. npub1hqyd2qg8e5j40n4tzg6sy77mcdgyn3jva7xz7wapm8hn63wxq0pqtls7lf Matt Hamilton Later this week I will be signing the biggest ceasefire with Iran yet. Sixty days, this one is sixty days. The fake news media said it couldn’t be done, they said a deal was impossible. They’re low IQ morons who have no idea what’s going on. I’ll be signing the deal, the best deal of all time with Iran. I have brought a big beautiful peace to the Middle East, the likes of which hasn’t been seen in 4,000 years. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. Thank you for your attention to this matter! npub1hqyd2qg8e5j40n4tzg6sy77mcdgyn3jva7xz7wapm8hn63wxq0pqtls7lf Matt Hamilton @nprofile…ypu3 if European countries and the UK are sufficiently degraded with serious internal strife (like lynching politicians in the street, not Retard Riots™️) as to not pose any military threat, then yeah it wouldn’t matter. But we’re still a long ways off from that and the threat of their intervention is the only practical reason the invaders cannot be sent back on boats. npub1hqyd2qg8e5j40n4tzg6sy77mcdgyn3jva7xz7wapm8hn63wxq0pqtls7lf Matt Hamilton I still mark this as the moment the Jews wrote off any threat Americans may have posed to their occupation and went full-bore. Maybe the high-water mark was actually the maskhole gimp retards in 2020, but if so, getting the dot to pray to Virishna at the RNC sealed the deal. People got all butt hurt when I mocked Pajeet Dhillon “nooooo, she’s on our side!” No, actually. The thrice married Indian is not on your side. You’re just retarded. https://jewishinsider.com/2026/06/harmeet-dillon-antisemitism-ucla-harvard-ajc-global-forum/ https://static.noauthority.social/media_attachments/files/116/735/302/253/742/621/original/8942d5a9d3225e56.mp4 npub1hqyd2qg8e5j40n4tzg6sy77mcdgyn3jva7xz7wapm8hn63wxq0pqtls7lf Matt Hamilton “ChatGPT: buy the new funko pop” https://apnews.com/article/visa-chatgpt-openai-shopping-mastercard-d769dec86344cb4977c98789e8ec492f npub1hqyd2qg8e5j40n4tzg6sy77mcdgyn3jva7xz7wapm8hn63wxq0pqtls7lf Matt Hamilton Funko pops, lego sets, or anime figurines.

No. Stop. npub1hqyd2qg8e5j40n4tzg6sy77mcdgyn3jva7xz7wapm8hn63wxq0pqtls7lf Matt Hamilton @nprofile…mmsf > acting like you’re homeless At these prices you won’t be acting long!

As I suspected, the extra fittings on the sled make it much more difficult to move. For the first “production” unit (which will get paint and I’ll actually measure stuff instead of eyeballing it), I may weld the bottom six joints to the sled. That, or be lazy and use two EMT runs at the bottom and bolt the top one to the bottom using bolts inside the tube. I’ll cross that bridge when I get there. I’ll strap wire to the bottom after dinner. https://static.noauthority.social/media_attachments/files/116/710/871/695/498/680/original/c5024ab48856dcd5.jpeg https://static.noauthority.social/media_attachments/files/116/710/873/066/326/232/original/9d8b0d1bced2994a.jpeg npub1hqyd2qg8e5j40n4tzg6sy77mcdgyn3jva7xz7wapm8hn63wxq0pqtls7lf Matt Hamilton Given it a bit more thought, and the other problem with the bends vs 90 deg. fittings is breaking strength under load. The back (the part not pictured) will have one, maybe two vertical supports which should help, but having those bends means it would take a lot less load (snow) to push them to the critical point where the metal creases and then snaps. If I lived somewhere down South, using bends like this would probably be fine. npub1hqyd2qg8e5j40n4tzg6sy77mcdgyn3jva7xz7wapm8hn63wxq0pqtls7lf Matt Hamilton I love my wife. npub1hqyd2qg8e5j40n4tzg6sy77mcdgyn3jva7xz7wapm8hn63wxq0pqtls7lf Matt Hamilton EMT rails attached and bent. Roof is mostly finished. Will caulk between the panels at the end. I’ll bend identical conduits for the “sleds” so there are no fittings on the ground inhibiting dragging it. The (small) vertical struts will vary in length to give me the appropriate winter angle. I will use T fittings to add horizontal members to create a box. Once they’re on I’ll use steel cable and turnbuckles to make it rigid, followed by welded wire screen attached using steel cable ties. https://static.noauthority.social/media_attachments/files/116/681/784/323/355/272/original/471f2fb62b388ea2.jpeg npub1hqyd2qg8e5j40n4tzg6sy77mcdgyn3jva7xz7wapm8hn63wxq0pqtls7lf Matt Hamilton It's advised to allow the mayonnaise to rest *at room temperature* for ~72 hours before refrigerating: https://cooking.stackexchange.com/a/33331 We'll pasteurize our eggs by sous vide-ing them at 139F for 70m. We'll also add a tbsp of sauerkraut brine to the recipe to encourage fermentation. Infusing the oil with rosemary / garlic may also help to keep it from going rancid. None of this will compete with the shelf life of soyoil product #57323, but it should help. Will follow up in a month or so. npub1hqyd2qg8e5j40n4tzg6sy77mcdgyn3jva7xz7wapm8hn63wxq0pqtls7lf Matt Hamilton Weird ask, but does anyone know where I can get an immersion blender with a narrow head / bell / blade (without modifying a larger one or creating one from "scratch")? npub1hqyd2qg8e5j40n4tzg6sy77mcdgyn3jva7xz7wapm8hn63wxq0pqtls7lf Matt Hamilton @nprofile…z99d @nprofile…e7kf @nprofile…6449 @nprofile…hngw @nprofile…y4j2 > Quake Boomer Halo npub1hqyd2qg8e5j40n4tzg6sy77mcdgyn3jva7xz7wapm8hn63wxq0pqtls7lf Matt Hamilton @nprofile…z99d @nprofile…6449 @nprofile…e7kf @nprofile…hngw @nprofile…y4j2 As the gen Z on the thread (who is unable to determine age visually), I mark "boomer" as anyone with fully grayed hair. npub1hqyd2qg8e5j40n4tzg6sy77mcdgyn3jva7xz7wapm8hn63wxq0pqtls7lf Matt Hamilton I’m pretty sure the sunglasses truck serial Twitter MAGAt coaler is more first-wave Gen X, but maybe I just suck at estimating age. https://static.noauthority.social/media_attachments/files/116/646/509/402/470/007/original/3917c3407f4b05d4.mp4 npub1hqyd2qg8e5j40n4tzg6sy77mcdgyn3jva7xz7wapm8hn63wxq0pqtls7lf Matt Hamilton @nprofile…cjlg @nprofile…z99d I'm a fan of the spy museum npub1hqyd2qg8e5j40n4tzg6sy77mcdgyn3jva7xz7wapm8hn63wxq0pqtls7lf Matt Hamilton @nprofile…xuwe I've thought about this many times, glad I'm not the only one.

If your task is identified by another player, they get your card (a point). All tasks involve the player coaxing another player into doing something.

I've said consistently that my generation (Millennial/Gen Z cuspers) was the last generation that would understand technology. Every generation post-iPhone is unable to understand technology because they've never had to. I still remember having to futz with the Windows drivers to get a CD ROM burner driver to work properly. Gen Z has never had that experience. They've never taken a computer apart, let alone assembled one. npub1hqyd2qg8e5j40n4tzg6sy77mcdgyn3jva7xz7wapm8hn63wxq0pqtls7lf Matt Hamilton Progress pic.

Shallow table will go the length of the couch, side and back. Low stools along the shallow table behind the couch. Wall art + 2 low seats to the left, rug, low coffee table, poufs to the right.

Since then I've rearanged the furniture in our living room, added some plants, purchased a few small accent pieces, and as a result our living room is already way more cozy than it was, and this isn't even my final form.

Inference speed is quite good, ~90 tok/sec. It does self context-expansion ("thinking"), visual input (which I haven't tested yet), and fits in less than 20GB VRAM. I don't think speculative decoding works (yet?) to speed up inference, but I'm not sure how much impact that would ultimately have given that it's an MoE model and inference is only performed on a subset anyway. npub1hqyd2qg8e5j40n4tzg6sy77mcdgyn3jva7xz7wapm8hn63wxq0pqtls7lf Matt Hamilton This mayo is okay. Not terrible, not great. Like some commenters here, my wife said the immersion blender + jar method is what she's seen, so I got her one and she made some. We need to work on ingredients/taste, but the method is sound. The method I'd tried before was the old fashioned way: using a mixer and adding ingredients very slowly trying not to let it separate. That way sucks. Immersion blender is the way to go. npub1hqyd2qg8e5j40n4tzg6sy77mcdgyn3jva7xz7wapm8hn63wxq0pqtls7lf Matt Hamilton Someone help my retard ass out. These springs require that the inside diameter of the spring be free of obstructions so that it can compress the inner wraps of coil, right? In other words, a dowel attached to the inside of the spring must have a smaller outer diameter than the inner diameter of the spring, right? Or does the middle not compress? What would happen if the center dowel was on bearings (it spun)? Would low-friction material attached to the entire length of the spring still work? https://static.noauthority.social/media_attachments/files/116/522/354/288/897/503/original/93cdfdb3f343f03f.png npub1hqyd2qg8e5j40n4tzg6sy77mcdgyn3jva7xz7wapm8hn63wxq0pqtls7lf Matt Hamilton Mmm… Dinner.

It currently has shitty single-wall corrugated pipe that plugged with a combination of shingle gravel, roots, and leaves. I tried clearing it. No way). Corrugated is terrible. PVC is great but can't be used here because it eventually cracks after a decade of freeze-thaw + heaving, then you get roots. I don't need to drive vehicles over these lines so I'm going to use (solid) triplewall + silicone tape.

A 100Ah 12V battery would power these lights for one non-Winter night but provide no overhead in the event of cloudy days. I went with a self-heating (worry-free Winter) Vatrer 300Ah 12V LiFePO4, a Victron 100/20 MPPT, and a 200W panel. The MPPT has a "street light" mode so no additional on/off timer is required.
