Cows only produce milk as a result of being pregnant.


And that's what The Other AI Industry is all about.

>We have all the equipment to design an A.I. Kit to fit your needs, so if one of the following options do not quite fit what you are looking for, just tell us what you want in your A.I. kit and we will build it for specific order.

Angus AI Certificates:

>Angus AI Certificates: Please read this important information!

>Make sure that you have your Angus Member Number available when ordering. All Angus certificate orders are prepaid and will be transferred electronically to your member account as soon as possible. We have over $10,000.00 worth of AI certificates on file at any one time, but may not have all that you need when you order. We will service your order as quickly as possible, but if we do not have all the certificates necessary to fill your order, it may take more time. A typical order for certificates that we have on file will show up in your account in approximately three working days from the day placed and confirmed. Since we do not profit from the sale of each certificate, we charge a small service fee for all certificate orders. Our clients find that it is easier to contact us to purchase AI certificates from one source as opposed to contacting various sources for AI certificates from multiple bulls. Our minimum service fee is $15.00 for the first certificate owner source and $5.00 for each additional owner source for each order placed. If you do not understand this policy, ask us to explain it again when you contact us.


We have those, too.


I love the ones that come with the little thing of the fake cheese to dip them in. 'merica!


WSL is fine for some purposes. It just never got better.

I just wiped my 4-year install on my work thinkpad for direct Linux after wrestling with WSL2 which broke in numerous ways in every update:

- WSLg is a pile of crap, and it feels like no development was done on it after it was initially released. It is so easy to crash the display server. It still does not resume from sleep reliably. Anything that quickly opens windows or does any sort of automation (like selenium/cypress tests) are prone to breakage.

- Networking works until it doesn't. Sometimes updates break DNS. Sometimes the bridged networking just fails.

The second problem here is why I finally threw in the towel. I could not get networking working reliably in the VM after a routine Windows update. Everything feels completely hacked together.


Huh, I haven't experienced those problems on my thinkpad - sleep/resume seems to work without issues. But admittedly I am just doing simple developer work, nothing fancy.


I only have to charge my kid's bounce every 2 days, 2.5 days usually. I do not turn on the "Live Tracking" very often but location updates, boundary fence notifications, voice/canned messages work great.


> What’s also drawing people’s attention is the size of the lot the home sits on: nearly 7,900 square feet.

Is that a big lot for that neighborhood? 0.18 acres?

Makes my 0.33 acre lot seem overly spacious.


A standard size lot around here is 6000 ft.²


Yup!

Much of Santa Clara Valley has "R1-8" zoning, which means "detached single family homes, 8 per acre."

43,560 / 8 = 5,445 sqft lots.

7,900 sqft is larger than average for many comparable neighborhoods.


I’m not sure why the downvotes. A tiny fraction of an acre is utterly ordinary or really fairly small in many suburbs and certainly exurbs in many/most areas of the country. Certainly where I live outside of Boston which is generally not considered a LCoL area.

Multiple acres are very normal in my town which is probably at least as close to Boston as Cupertino is to SF.

I understand various attractions of the Bay Area including all the area that is decidedly the ‘burbs but make no mistake that even tiny amounts of land is decidedly insane relative to the areas outside of most other cities including those reasonably considered as tech hubs.


Boston isn't comparable to SF — the median income is nearly 50% higher in SF. And Cupertino is one of the richest cities in the US.


It’s really difficult to compare city statistics. Boston includes some really pretty poor areas like Roxbury and Dorchester that don’t have a real counterpart except for very small areas of SF. The 80% high end of the median only differs by about 10%.

I agree that Boston is very different both because of industry diversity and fewer geographical constraints other than the ocean. But the fact remains that although there are some very expensive communities, many though not all on the ocean, an hour drive gets you to some pretty reasonable pricing—say $500K on multiple acres.


Firefox has its own profiles, which are separate from containers.

`about:profiles` shows you a window for creating and switching to a different one. I add that as a bookmark on the bookmarks toolbar of the two profiles I use

I believe there is a `-P` option to open a new window with a specific profile. I do not use it. I usually just open the browser and then go to the aforementioned bookmark and open the other profile.

I use different colorways to differentiate the windows between the two profiles.

There may be addons that alleviate a few of the pain-points with Firefox profiles. I have not tried to find any.


IMO containers are easier to use than profiles. The main issue is that history seems to be shared across containers, but being able to mix tabs from multiple containers in the same window is very practical. Though I guess it increases the risk of accidentally opening some website in the wrong container if this is one concern. (though there is a feature to make some website always open in a given container)


The main difference is that profiles allow for different extensions to be enabled. You effectively get completely different browsers. The price for that power is a bit of IT geekery - if used regularly, you'll need either a bookmark to about:profiles or a desktop shortcut pointing to Firefox.exe -P yourProfile.

I mostly use containers for everyday work, but when a site looks borked (which typically happens because of strict ad-blocking extensions doing their job), I temporarily switch to my "unprotected" profile that has no ad-blocking whatsoever.

(And also when I test new extensions I build, but that's a very niche use case.)


I like maintaining a work/clean profile and a personal one. It is very annoying to mix histories when something like screensharing happens are you do not want to advertise what sort of messageboards or forums you post on.


I use opengarage. https://opengarage.io/


Nice! Thanks for pointing their project out.


From looking at the Issues on GitHub, it seems that someone ported it to XCB:

https://github.com/rtyler/tinywm-ada/blob/master/tinywm-xcb....


Also, as the repo name suggests, the Xlib version is ported to Ada in there.


Yes, there's not a lot of variety in just eating potatoes. Maybe some people don't need variety.

People lose a lot of weight this way. Insulin sensitivity increases. Insulin-lowering medicines can be reduced or stopped. Bad cholesterol drops to the floor.

If you go beyond monomeals of potatoes and add in tasty vegetables (like you do in keto) and limit the fat you add to the meal, you will have all the benefits of the potato diet without the mind-numbing boredom.

Variety in the keto approach? There are only so many ways to dress up chicken/beef/pork and cheese.


In the last few days I've had blueberry greek yogurt overnight oats, almond/peanut butter shake, horseradish deviled eggs, cowboy chili, cauliflower mac & cheese, keto-friendly Jello, and a BBQ steak dinner with a monk fruit/allulose simple-syrup Gimlet cocktail.

Doesn't get much more varied than that for a 'diet'.


Potatoes have protein and fats. Enough protein and fats for fat-soluble vitamins and preventing dying of protein malnutrition. Potatoes are not just carbs.

No libido? I'd like to see the source of that claim.

The western world has become "addicted" to protein and the claims on how much is necessary and recommended are extremely exaggerated.


They have about 9x more carbs than fat.

If you are eating Yukon gold potatoes, and you ate 5 pounds of them, and according to my calculations you are looking at approximately 2100 kcal of which a little less than 1900 of those calories comes from carbohydrates.

We advise people not to go below 50 g of fat per day and according to the macros for Yukon Gold you wouldn’t even be getting a 10th of that amount.

Additionally, you’re only getting about 50 g of protein. We normally coach people to eat 1 g of protein per pound of lean muscle mass. So for 150 pound person that would be 150 g of protein per day or approximately 600 cal from protein.


> We normally coach people to eat 1 g of protein per pound of lean muscle mass. So for 150 pound person that would be 150 g of protein per day or approximately 600 cal from protein.

"Lean muscle mass" excludes the fat on the body, right? A 150lb person should have less than 150lb of lean muscle mass.

USDA recommends 54g using their calculator. Don't forget the 38 grams of fiber! :)


Sorry, I misspoke. 1 gram per pound of body weight. I was multitasking.
