Yeah apparently it is a major part of employees’ jobs to know how to present good ideas to this fool in a way that he won’t shoot it down because he thinks he knows things.

I would amend that to “What specific problem that users have reported does implementing AI solve”.

Most airports have separate controllers for taxiway coordination and for runway and air coordination. Many larger airports separate tasks further, like having a separate approach controller. So, usually different people.

I know it’s a typo but I’m cracking up at

ethnically non-monogamous

The main point of the bill is to provide grants to organizations that provide resources for pregnant people. The bill specifically excludes organizations that offer abortion services from receiving those grants.

This is why “divide by half” and “divide in half” are two different things

Any positive number?

Ehhh |q| = √p but close enough

Jalapeños? Man would choke on anything spicier than flour

Why is the publication date June 2024?

Almost all of the OCA extensions are now installable with pip, just make sure you’re locking down versioning well.

Core Odoo pros: Odoo is great at what it does. It’s modular, and let’s you consolidate a lot of business software into one place where it can all talk to itself. Generally, this makes accounting teams very happy, since invoicing, inventory (esp GAAP), and expenses are all generated mostly automatically. The UI has really improved recently, and performance scales well. Odoo has some good functional tutorials on their website that guide you through using the features.

Core Odoo cons: If your business has some need outside of what Odoo expects you to use it for, good luck. Unless it’s a minor thing, you’re probably better off changing your SOPs to fit Odoo rather than trying to change Odoo to work for you. Of course, you don’t know whether it’s a minor thing unless you have someone with Odoo familiarity – but we’ll get to that.

Custom Odoo pros: Almost all of the business logic is written in Python with a fully extensible framework. It’s designed to be modified, and it’s pretty friendly. The docs aren’t great, but the community is. The Odoo Community Association (OCA) maintains a large library of OS extensions, divided by business area. Even if you don’t find what you need, it’s a great place to learn by example on creating custom modules. Simple UI changes are mainly handled by XML, which again is fairly easy to pick up by studying examples.

Custom Odoo cons: There’s a learning curve, as with anything. Something you thought should be a simple change might turn out to be a pit of vipers. If you’re trying to do web app changes, I will pray for you. Odoo has started to roll out OWL, a JS framework based on React and Node.js, but documentation on JS in Odoo is basically non-existent, and Odoo devs avoid JS like the plague.

If your company is looking to change, Odoo has implementation partners, who will tailor Odoo to your needs. Partner prices vary widely, and you get what you pay for. It really depends on your company’s size and budget. You still pay licensing, etc. through Odoo itself.

Avoid odoo.sh (Odoo’s SaaS option) at all costs, I have never seen it go well. Avoid Studio (allows UI changes without coding) at all costs, it turns into spaghetti every time.

What if, instead of a tattoo, everyone who voted just becomes that race?

The logistics would be tricky. Aside from the fact that race doesn’t exist, people within an ethnicity don’t all look the same. And would they still have the background of however they were originally born?

A lot of your hair care depends on if it’s curly or straight, oily or dry, thin or thick, etc.

For managing hair in your face, hair bands are good. If you’re not tying it back as tight as a gymnast or something, you’re probably not putting enough strain on it to cause balding. If you want better ways to hold it back, spiral hair ties like these are more gentle and tangle less than normal elastic ones. Long barrettes for the back of the head like this keep hair on the sides from falling into your face. They look especially good with curly hair, and if you’re worried about it looking too feminine (which you probably shouldn’t) you can get subtle black ones. Side braids are a really good way to control the sides, and make you look like a Viking. You would need to get good at French braiding or have someone do it for you.

For hair care, it really depends on what makes your hair happy. I have very curly hair that goes about halfway down my back. I wash it about once a week, more if it gets dirty. I start with a pre-wash scalp oil. I use a really gentle shampoo or none at all, then a really good conditioner or hair mask meant for curly hair. After showering, I use a de-frizz leave in conditioner, then a hair oil, then a pomade on the tips, all using the scrunch method. I never brush my hair when it’s dry, I carefully comb tangles out in the shower while the conditioner or mask sits. Brushing will destroy curls.

I highly recommend Jonathan Van Ness for care advice, and his products are excellent, but pretty pricey. Unfortunately, you get what you pay for, and it’s hard to find cheaper alternatives that work nearly as well.

Haven’t seen the dress and I don’t need to, 5 is the correct choice

Just wait until you find out how meerkats got their name

4 cups of cheese, almost 3 cups of soup, almost a cup of 7up, and somehow this yields 4.5 cups of sauce? It doesn’t mention reducing in the recipe even. What an atrocity.

The MRI is pretty likely fake too. Front facing MRIs are rare, and eyes don’t usually have that kind of contrast pattern

Markiplier mentioned fairly recently that he can’t release the trailer for his Iron Lung movie because of the strike. Before that, I hadn’t really considered a link between Hollywood and YouTubers. Kind of weird to think about.

When you have to run resistive heaters the electrical usage skyrockets and makes a heat pump system vastly more expensive to operate.

More expensive than a heat pump without a backup/additional electrical resistance heater. Not more expensive than an electrical resistance heater on its own.

That’s what’s so strange about this, in most cases a heat pump would be replacing a non-reversible AC and an electrical resistance heater or gas-fueled furnace. And in nearly every case, even with the need for a backup/additional resistance heater, you’re still saving money. And it’s not like any of this is new technology, it just took forever for it to become popular in the US.
