I mean, appropriately, that exact user name over at birdsite is suspended for violating Twitter rules.

I'mma guess he broke a rule. 😛

Aaaand apparently I can place multiple orders with different codes...

And they have "free local pickup" as an option, so I wouldn't even have to pay shipping.

Oh dear...

Do I want to bankrupt my local team? (Or risk my one already-placed order with things I actually want getting cancelled due to abusing the system?)

Checked a bunch of other numbers on the end, but $75 or 50% are the best.

Although there is a $20 with no minimum.....

In the graphic, I see another item "$25 credit on orders of $75 or more."

Increase my cart to $75, try "20WHEEL25" - oh, look, I now have $25 off.

Open main page on different browser to avoid cookies, spin, and get "50% off orders of $99 or more."

Increase to $99, "20WHEEL50" - yup, 50% off.

But the last "good result" wheel option is.... "$75 credit on orders of $100 or more."

Add $1.

"20WHEEL75"

Yep, $75 off.

So...... A local sports team is having an online holiday sale.

Go to the webpage, and it pops up a virtual "discount wheel". Enter your email address and spin. Sure, fine, whatever, you'll need an email for me to order anyway.

Spin, and see "10% off order of $50 or more." Okay, that's fine, I was probably going to spend about that.

But it's as a "coupon code to enter during checkout."

The code?

20WHEEL10.

Hrm...

Completely unrelated to anything about this site's founder, or conspiracy theory groups...

Just read the comment "I'm wary of Q, so I picked J."

😂

That’ll do, Mother Nature…

Sunset on the mountain.

Happy mountain dog.

Huh. It is cheaper to buy a Thunderbolt 3 -> PCI Express enclosure plus PCI Express 10Gbit Ethernet card than it is to buy a Thunderbolt 3 10Gbit Ethernet adapter.

By a lot.

A lot a lot. (Like $350 vs $1800.)

One annoyance about my wife working a much earlier shift than me while I work from home - if she does anything at all on her way home, she thinks I'll be off work by the time she gets home.

I happened to be coming out of the bathroom when she came in. "Can you set the table for dinner?"

"No, it's only 4:30, I get off work at 5. I'm not ready to eat dinner right now."

LOLOLOLOL.

Apparently Parler required that if you wanted a "verified" account, you had to send your Social Security Number and a copy of your Driver's License...

And now they've been hacked, in multiple different ways. (Exact nature of hack still uncertain - not sure if SSN+DL are included.)

It is impressive that the "translated Intel code" runs only BARELY slower, on a *MUCH* lower power CPU!

And the "native Intel CPU" export and the "translated Intel-to-ARM" export are identical in size. So the translated code is running absolutely the same code as on a real Intel CPU.

Time to open a ticket on why the ARM-native code isn't obeying the encoder settings and producing such a much larger file.

Yes, running the Intel code translated to ARM runs multiple times faster than running the native ARM code.

Obviously the x265 codec hasn't been optimized for ARM, and Apple's own "Intel to ARM translator" does a FAR better job optimizing than whatever compiler it was using.

Although, super strangely, even though the encoder settings were identical for the "native ARM" and "Rosetta translate" runs, the ARM-coded file is 3x larger.

Wut?
