  • I have a leaking wall...

    Jump

  • You might need to improve the waterproofing along the wall. Really the best way to be confident in a fix is bringing in a qualified engineer to find the source and recommend a solution, but that’s also the most expensive solution.

  • PCB prices could be the next to rise and that could affect almost all electronics

    Jump

  • Prices were already going up and supplies were already constrained because the AI demand was pulling so much of the capacity. Iran hitting the petrochemical plant is just adding on to an already bad situation.

  • 'They told me he was dead': Children born near army base learn truth about UK soldier dads

    Jump

  • Fascinating. On the one hand it’s great these kids in Kenya are getting answers. On the other, it feels kinda creepy that the lawyers can just take the results of a DNA test and compare it to Ancestry.com’s database of 30 million DNA samples and find either the father or a family member of the father.

  • Survivor’s lawsuit against Florida sheriff moves forward

    Jump

  • The sheriff’s attorneys filed a motion to dismiss the case, arguing that Taylor had waited too long to sue. They argued that Florida’s statute limits Taylor’s civil rights claims to seven years, and she filed her suit nine years after she was falsely arrested.

    However, Taylor’s lawyers presented a legal argument that—to their knowledge—hasn’t been used in this district court. The seven-year time limit functions as a “statute of repose,” preventing federal courts from applying it. Therefore, the court should consider the clock paused during the years she was a minor living with a guardian whose interests were working against hers. The team argued that under that interpretation, her deadline shifted to four years after she turned 18. Taylor filed within that window, the day before her 22nd birthday.

    District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle, a Trump appointee, agreed. She ruled that most of Taylor’s claims could go forward, including allegations that sheriff’s detectives had maliciously prosecuted her and violated her right to bodily safety.

    [Attorney Brenda] Harkavy said this provides an extended timeline for other survivors to file suits if they were abused as children and continued to live under the care of someone whose interests were averse to theirs.

    This case sounds horrific, but if it opens up more opportunities for child victims to sue their abusers after becoming adults that will be a major victory.

  • Microsoft Raises Prices for All Surface PCs, Making Them More Expensive Than Equivalent Macs

    Jump

  • Ultimate let you change languages, but cost more than Pro

  • What's the best piece of advice you were ever given?

    Jump

  • The exact wording isn’t coming to me, but there are a lot of decisions in life where one option is basically as good as another. Making your choice successful depends less on the decision itself and more on how much effort you put into it.

  • Engineer open-sources DIY radar system that's 95% cheaper than $250,000 commercial offerings, has 20 kilometer range — Moroccan engineer designs Aeris-10 radar, shares it on GitHub

    Jump

  • Twisters (the recent sequel starring Daisy Edgar-Jones, Glen Powell, and Anthony Ramos) has a new team trying to set up 3 phased array radars 120° from each other to catch an unprecedented surround view of a tornado. It was better than I expected.

  • Engineer open-sources DIY radar system that's 95% cheaper than $250,000 commercial offerings, has 20 kilometer range — Moroccan engineer designs Aeris-10 radar, shares it on GitHub

    Jump

  • The fact that Aeris-10 offers a true phased array system and ±45° elevation/azimuth adjustments are seemingly its differentiating factors. Prices for electronics are exceedingly floaty in these ship-shinking days, but a brief estimate pins the bill of materials at $5,000 for the 10N and $7,200 for the 10E.

    So for $21,600 I could attempt the goal of the main characters in Twisters.

  • Shoe company Allbirds pivots to AI compute in sign of a totally normal and healthy economy

    Jump

  • Yeah the rest of the examples besides the shoe company don’t seem like a big stretch

  • Shoe company Allbirds pivots to AI compute in sign of a totally normal and healthy economy

    Jump

  • Allbirds isn't the only company pivoting to compute in an effort to feed the hungry goblin called AI. Boom Supersonic is a startup trying to build the world's fastest airliner but has begun selling gas turbines to AI companies to power data centers. Many Bitcoin mining centers have pivoted to AI and it's worth remembering that NVIDIA's GPUs were once used primarily for PC gaming.

    It's 2026 and I'm finally watching The Golden Girls for the first time. I can't believe how well this show holds up.

    Jump

  • Some shows’ appeal changes as your life experience changes. I never got Seinfeld as a kid but spent a year in New York City and understood it then. I never really watched Cougartown but then watched it as a newlywed and thought it’s actually better than Scrubs.

  • Not having read the article, I wonder if building an elevated array of photovoltaic panels over the batteries would make sense by shading them from the sun, giving more passive help with heat? A simple roof would be cheaper but solar panels would mean the site is also producing electricity, not just storing it.
