If your employer doesn’t offer a 401k or similar plan, the IRA limits are actually higher.

So I guess it’s only an arc and not a full circle, but I had no problem making this curved sanding block in FreeCAD.

I will admit that I am not totally aware of the value of the land of the West Bank vs Gaza. But from what I’ve been reading and watching these few months on the history of the conflict, it seems that at some point the PLO stopped being violent after the second Infatada and Hamas took over Gaza and pushed them out to the West Bank. And ever since then the West Bank has been slowly carved up more and more by Jewish settlements, effectively making the Palestinian land in the WB never able to be contiguous, and thus making it impossible for there to be a Palestinian state to be formed there.

So if the WB land is valuable to the Israelis, I cannot see how Gaza wouldn’t be even more valuable. As Gaza has access to the sea, and there’s all the recently found offshore gas fields that would fall into Gaza’s EEZ if it ever were to be recognized as the Palestinian state.

So I don’t get why they’d disengage and leave Gaza alone when it’s valuable land, but they will also for obvious reasons never stop the blockade of Gaza. As an outsider that leans to the left, it seems like Gaza is purposefully put into the state that it’s in, to keep a threat around, so the conservatives running Israel can stay in power.

Is that because Gaza is proving harder to annex and pacify than the WB?

When I built my latest Plex server, I chose to put ECC RAM into it. But it was a pain getting all the hardware, due to the silly rules AMD has for ECC support and iGPU support in its chips.

Part of me is intrigued to dig out my N7 and install LoS 20 on it. But I have to imagine that it is slooooooooooooow.

I’m pretty sure there’s revanced patches for that?

Yes, emulation is a thing but doesn’t quite beat the experience on the original hardware IMO

This is why I think the best solution is original hardware with flash carts. The correct experience but no clutter.

I grew up with cats and have spent the last two weeks back at my parent’s house with their current 2 cats.

Cats were fine growing up but now that I have had dogs, I’ve become the total opposite. I hate these damn cats scratching at my door when I try to sleep. I miss my beagle dearly and can’t wait to get back home.

I agree that mental math is useful, but in scenarios like that, times tables aren’t really useful since the tables are rotely memorized and rarely does a bill fall nicely into a times table.

Better to learn a technique like “move the decimal place left one position and double that number to get 20%”.

But realistically, with a phone in your pocket, it’s not much more effort to pull it out and use the calculator.

Does she understand the concept of multiplication though? That’s ultimately the important part.

Learning rote things like multiplication tables seems kinda silly in a world where Google can just do the math for you. But the important thing is to be able to recognize when multiplication is useful.

This is a great writeup, but if someone could elaborate on how a piece of content in the Lemmyverse gets into the Mastadon-verse, and how interaction on that piece of content in both -verses is handled across the verses, I would appreciate it.

From what I’ve seen, it sounds like since everything in the fediverse shares the ActivityPub APIs under the hood, it’s possible to share the same piece of content across verses. But I can’t wrap my head around how interactions with the content across -verses is possible.
