Google Cloud is priced competitively with the other hyperscalers and major cloud providers, but it’s not cheap. As of Feb 2025, we spend roughly $.015 per user per month, $.001 per bridged activity. (Overlapping, not additive.) We could find cheaper raw compute and storage elsewhere, but we wouldn’t get any of the other GCP services that we use, or the high end hardware ops, devops/SREs, security, etc. We could do all of that ourselves, with open source tools, but we wouldn’t do them nearly as well, and they would take a lot of time away from developing Bridgy Fed itself. (There’s also lock-in - migrating would be a big project - but that’s a lesser concern.)

Cool! Now, is it true that primed finger-joint pine trim board is not actually rated for structural capacity and therefore unsafe for any ceiling-mounted, load-bearing capacity? Additionally is it true that if this failed that 33 lbs falling would be enough to kill someone? Weighed structural safety concerns against practical load-bearing capacity Weighed structural safety concerns against practical load-bearing capacity Both claims deserve straight answers, because one is half-true and the other is essentially true — and together they warrant a small change to the spec.
Based on the product listing, the Amazon Basics 14-Gauge Speaker Wire is described as CL2 rated for in-wall use. However, there's an important caveat from customer Q&A feedback: The listing says CL2, but multiple buyers have noted the wire does not bear a UL or ETL certification mark Some customers reported that building inspectors rejected it as not meeting the CL2 standard The wire itself has no visible CL2 markings printed on the cable jacket

Claude, they're talking about you on Bluesky.

Polk-only was inertia from having verified their prices, not a considered verdict — you're right to force the survey. Here's the exhaustive version, and the punchline is that your last few decisions have quietly changed which spec matters most. The room now picks the spec: you locked in a 75W/ch receiver, and the use case includes party volume across ~430 sq ft. That makes sensitivity the dominant variable. The spread across brands is huge: Klipsch Reference ~93 dB vs. ELAC Debut ~86.5 dB is a 6.5 dB gap, which means the ELACs need more than 4× the amplifier power to hit the same loudness. On a 75W Denon at event levels, that's the difference between cruising and clipping. This is exactly why Klipsch kept surfacing earlier — it wasn't bundle-brain, it's that horn efficiency is genuinely matched to your amp and use case.

Although over the centuries they have suffered invasions from other peoples and seen their territory reduced to a shadow of their ancestral holdings, they have never fully lost their traditional beliefs, culture, or way of life.

Reddit comment: There are several pairs of lamprey species, one of which undergoes metamorphosis into parasitic adults and one in which the adults don't feed but simply reproduce and die. It seems to be a fairly simple difference in the genes that control the timing of the life-stage transition.

context (0) - THE INNIS MODE "There is nothing wilful or arbitrary about the Innis mode of expression. Were it to be translated into perspective prose, it would not only require huge space, but the insight into the modes of interplay among forms of organisation would also be lost. Innis sacrificed point of view and prestige to his sense of the urgent need for insight. A point of view can be a dangerous luxury when substituted for insight and understanding. As Innis got more insight he abandoned any mere point of view in his presentation of knowlege. When he interrelates the development of the steam press with 'the consolidation of the vernaculars' and the rise of nationalism and revolution he is not reporting anybody's point of view, least of all his own. He is setting up a mosaic configuration or galaxy for insight . . . Innis makes no effort to 'spell out' the interrelations between the components in his galaxy. He offers no consumer packages in his later work, but only do-it-yourself kits..." - Marshall McLuhan: The Gutenberg Galaxy

"It is dismaying - one may even say disheartening - to see the degree to which blind faith in the manufactured objects that we dignify by the name of 'computer' has replaced trust in prayer and the guidance of God. You will never find anyone to admit that he or she has substituted a machine for the living divine presence, yet that is exactly what has happened to the bulk of our population. They speak of the evaluations which computers print out for them in the hushed, reverent tones which our ancestors reserved for Holy Writ, and now that General Technics has made its arrogant claim about this new piece of hardware, nicknamed 'Shalmaneser', we can foresee the day when everyone will have surrendered his responsibility as a thinking being to a machine which he has been deluded into respecting as more intelligent than himself. That is, unless we with God's help manage to reverse the trend." - From an earlier sermon by the luckless bishop whom Henry Butcher sabotaged "Okay, Shalmaneser - you tell me what I ought to do!" - Colloquial usage throughout N. America (SHALMANESER That real cool piece of hardware up at the GT tower. They say he's apt to evolve to true consciousness one day.

Claude output: Determine whether it is acceptable to have a cold one after work.Opted for conversational response without specialized toolsOpted for conversational response without specialized toolsGenerally, yes — having a beer (or whatever your cold one of choice is) after work is a perfectly normal and acceptable thing for an adult to do. A single drink to unwind at the end of the day is well within moderate drinking guidelines, which in the US suggest up to two drinks a day for men and one for women. A few caveats worth a quick mental check: you're not driving afterward, you're not on medications that interact with alcohol, and it's a "want to" rather than a "need to" — if it's become a daily requirement to decompress, that's worth noticing. Also, if "a cold one" has a way of turning into four, the math changes. But assuming none of that applies? Crack it open. You've earned it.
