Reading direction should be inverted: we should read pages bottom to top
  • It's top down for same reason things are generally left to righ. In the days of ink and paper, you'd end up with a smeared mess - ask a lefty what a pain in the ass that is.

    Less of an issue nowadays of course. Still the very idea is a bit nails on a chalkboard to me, but I'm old and wondering if it's a generational thing. Maybe you feel like this since many interfaces push text entry to the bottom?

  • Republicans reject Rep. Jim Jordan for House speaker on the first ballot
  • Bullshit. Why try to cover for their inability to govern? It's gonna suck, but if these people keep getting elected it will continue to suck for a long time. I'm all for a schism splitting off the radical right.

    It's their house, and it's going to be a shitshow, but people voted for this. Maybe it'll make the party implode, or at least a few reconsider it next time out of embarrassment.

  • Any downsides to keeping a printer in high humidity?
  • I work in automation. We had one site in Florida that despite AC pumping all the time, had humidity issues. Electonics seemed to handle it ok, but paper was another story. This site would have to print information packs to get packaged up with the product, and it was a nightmare with the collating and folding automation, it just never wanted to work properly. The printers themselves would jam and have more issues than they should as well.

  • Cable storage idea
  • These go on sale at Michael's all the time. I like using these for electronic components, very handy to keep little parts organized. Think they're a little tight for most cables, I like plastic shoe boxes for those.

  • Rivian CEO issues strong statement about people who purchase gas-powered cars: ‘Sort of like building a horse barn in 1910’
  • Synthetic fuels would be great for all the existing stuff, but not sure where you're getting EV sales are down in Europe.

    New plug-in car registrations:

    Total: 311,897 (up 42% year-over-year) and 25% share

  • What is something really stupid you purchased that turned out far better than expected?
  • Similarly, a nice fog free shower mirror for me. My wife would get so mad about stray hairs (it's easy to miss some when it goes everywhere) Got a waterproof trimmer and started doing it in the shower - cleanup is super easy now!
