It's still better than WebEx because I don't have to log in to that piece of shit software to start a video call.

Cal III was fun it was just a bunch of multivariable differentials. Cal II though sucked thanks to all the integration processes.

So what are the spiders there for?

It really made me start wondering how we can see infrared, ultraviolet and even the x ray light spectrums, but we have yet to do so in the microwave spectrum. It'd be awesome to see the world through such lens. Imagine being able to see through walls with WiFi and cell towers illuminating everything.

Splinter Cell was particularly good. If only Ubisoft would release all other Splinter Cell titles in GOG.

Clearly you haven't had the joy of having 10 tabs on Firefox, a film playing on VLC, the torrent client running, and trying to open up a large Solidworks assembly file on a 16GB Windows 10 PC. It gets eaten up fairly quickly.

Be careful which ebike brands to trust. Avoid Rad Power Bikes. Even though the brand's American, its customer service and reliability's a complete joke. I had a lightly used Rad Runner who's battery died a little after a year of light use. Their warranty only covered up to a year and they said their only solution is to buy a new $600 battery that doesn't even come with a warranty itself.

The vacuum's a Matrix Shark and the mop's a Narwal something or other. Aside from them getting stuck in corners or entangled in wires once a week they work great! A little wire management and careful furniture placement lowered the chance of that happening again. One dog pretty much ignores it and the other eyes it with suspicion and wouldn't be in the same room it's running in but otherwise I haven't had any big issues yet.

A small vacuum and mop Roomba clone. Having two dogs leaving fur everywhere made vacuuming every day a necessary chore but now I only need to empty out their base every day and they take care of keeping the floors clean. I don't have them connected to my Wi-Fi though so hopefully that helps mitigate any hacking attempts.

If you do get an e bike later know that some brands are very bad with reliability and support so you can end up with a $2000 brick on wheels. Case in point: Rad Power Bikes, their batteries can die just a year after purchase even with good maintenance and their support will simply ignore you if you try to claim a warranty repair/replacement.

The Zacua only goes up 85kph. While it may be good for intra city driving it may not be ideal for much else, even in Mexico with somewhat lower max road speeds.

 

I decided to purchase store bought ice cream after years of just buying from places like Cold Stone. It seems to me most ice cream manufacturers have very soft ice cream now despite storing it in a freezer for a week straight. I could easily drop a spoon in the tub and watch it cut straight through to the bottom. The consistency is now kind of disgusting because it feels like I'm eating whipped cream instead of something that should be semi solid. So far I've tried Tillamook, Dryer's, and Target's in house brand and they all have that same mushy texture.

Before anyone suggests it's my freezer, I've kept it relatively uncluttered and everything else stays frozen just fine. I also make sure not to purchase those tubs of "Frozen Dairy Dessert". What happened? Is this some cost cutting measure or are customer's preferences really going to extremely soft textures?

 

I'm pretty sure they would. It's not like they'd like to see their seaside properties go underwater within their lifetimes.
