If these idiots actually try it, we should stick their mirror where the sun don’t shine.

The right wing has been actively working to undermine our educational system since the early 80’s. A poorly educated populace, particularly one without critical thinking skills, is much easier to manipulate. After four decades of underfunding, restrictive policies, and anti-intellectual propaganda, those efforts are really paying off.

Newt Gingrich and his co-conspirators have been waging war against the people of this country since Reagan was elected. And they are now dangerously close to winning that war.

I’ve just been looking for something to replace One Note. The timing of this announcement worked out really well for me. :-)

Thanks!

Dell did some non-standard trickery to allow more than 100W charging through a USB C connector. If it’s one of those laptops it will only charge over 100W with a Dell USB charger.

My thought was than an inset, taken as a whole circle, could be referred to as a cylinder. Like you, I couldn’t really make sense of the description and was trying to interpret it. Based on the response above I was way off.

I think I understand now, but I’ve never seen a ring like that.

This comment and response elevated this discussion. I’m still laughing.

I think I understand. When you talk about cylinders on top of the ring you’re referring to what are basically stripes inset into the surface of the ring. Do I have that right?

It sounds like you’re looking for something similar to this, with more rounded edges: https://i.etsystatic.com/icm/a6e7f9/662727769/icm_fullxfull.662727769_1ui1u9fyb0hwgk0ogkws.jpg?version=0

I had that one custom made for me by a maker on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/titaniumknights?ref=profile_header

I don’t know whether they could make what you need, but it is a place to start.

Best of luck!

NWS is a great resource, but there are a startling number of other organizations that collect weather data.

I appreciate that. :-D

I appreciate the suggestion. I have thought about it, but part of what I wanted, like the original poster, was more localized information. NWS is great for overall data, but it doesn’t get down to precise locations.

Oh, yeah. Not only did they take it away from all Android users, they also killed the API that let other apps access it. I wrote an open-source tool that made Dark Sky data available to Wear OS watch faces. It worked beautifully for several years, until Apple killed it.

The worst of it is that was my second attempt. An earlier version of the same tool worked with Weather Underground data. Then IBM bought it, changed the API completely, and priced it so that only business could afford it.

I haven’t had the heart to try a third time.

Sorry, every once in a while I’m overcome with the need to whine about it.

And people often don’t appreciate that a Vornado doesn’t need to oscillate. The air stream they generate will get all the air in a room moving without tilting or turning.

Energy pricing in Texas is managed for the benefit of the utilities, not their customers. Some of the people on non-fixed plans who got charged insane amounts just went bankrupt.

Texas is a nearly perfect example of how the Republicans think everything should work.

My city plows the bike paths at the same time it plows the emergency routes. We’re in Wisconsin, but a startling number of people still commute by bike all year long.

We need a similar bill that would send anyone convicted of unlawful activity in the US Capital since January 5th of 2021 to Siberia.

Republican Legislators: We are strongly opposed to child labor.

Public: Finally.

Republican Legislators: So we are going to severely punish any children found doing it.

Public: Wait a minute…

I didn’t realize that "intellectual diversity’ meant giving equal time to politically motivated drivel that fails to pass even the laugh test for factual basis or intellectual rigor.

It’s a nice option. I normally want it at max, but I turn it down if I’m going to sleep with it on my wrist.

Some smart watches allow you to adjust the intensity of the vibration. (My Samsung Watch6 does.) See if your will let you experiment with that.
