Sometimes I bulk out my shakshuka with another great pantry staple - lentils. And a little more involved for this thread but mujadara is another great dish that’s primarily pantry ingredients plus onions. But I almost always have onions on hand and they keep so I give them a pass

I use a big trackball mouse but I’ve been working off a MacBook for the last couple of months. I switched to a trackball because I was getting bad RSIs, but since I’ve had the MacBook I’ve only been bringing it out for CAD and sculpting work.

The track as is big enough that I can use larger gestures which helps prevent RSIs and it’s been fine for general programming and document use. The gestures are nice too

I saw you said in another comment that you recently already bought an ergo keyboard, but when you go to replace it check out some of the split ergos with integrated trackpads/trackballs that are starting to get more popular. I’m eventually going to switch over to a wireless split with a trackpad on both halves which seems like the best option.

Oh the live action movies? I actually haven’t seen those but I’m not surprised they cut a lot of that out.

Yeah there’s a good amount of sexual / rapey stuff in the anime and manga, specifically around Kishimoto. Also I’m not sure where the movies stop but the manga that goes past the anime gets really, really weird.

I still really like it a lot but you have to be willing to look past that stuff so I don’t recommend it often to people who aren’t already familiar with some anime. The movies look a lot more approachable though.

GANTZ is really good but I don’t think I’d recommend it as an early sci-fi anime watch. There’s a lot of weird sexual stuff in it that the others on your list don’t have that I think make them a better recommendation.

I also really like .hack//SIGN to throw my own in

I’m not super familiar with humidex, I was going to suggest taking a look at how your values fit into a psychometric chart but it’d probably be more trouble than it’s worth, especially if you just have a single window unit. Your humidity is just going to dump every time the unit kicks on to drop the temp anyways

An easy thing you could automate would be to include time schedules as well as better temp ranges. Most of your cycling is from 1800-0600 (is this chart time offset? I don’t get why so much of your external heat gain is overnight). So you could avoid some of that by precooling below your set temp beforehand. I was going to suggest doing this at night, which is also when power prices are usually lower, but again it looks like it gets hotter outside at night so I’m not sure.

Regardless, before these periods of heat gain run the ac in a continuous cycle a few degrees below your comfort zone, which will also dehumidify the air more, extending your comfort zone time during heat gain without cycling

Have you ever checked out OrangePi? I was considering them before picking up a jetson nano. It’s crazy to think that a rpi4b is going for the same price from resellers as a jetson with cuda and tenserflow support.

I went from about 3 hours of battery time on a high end windows laptop doing my design workload to about 10 hours with the m2 pro. I still don’t know if I’ll stick with it long term, and I still much prefer to work at my windows desktop, but having a fast, battery sipping browsing/streaming laptop that can turn into my main workhorse when I’m out and about has been great. Plus the Unix environment means I’m not spinning up arch vms when I’m programming anymore.

What ai stuff are you running on apple silicon where you’re seeing that much improvement? I’ve always been windows/linux but just recently switched over to a m2 MacBook Pro because I’m doing a lot of travel this year.

Lugging around my 5900hx/rtx3070 just became too much of a pain in the ass with like 3 working hours of battery life. I was able to transfer most of my development/design workflow over (and the one I couldn’t works fine in W11 parallels) but I thought most of my AI stuff would just have to live on my desktop rig.
