Disagree, drill drivers are cheap these days. Don't lock yourself into an expensive battery platform yet.

Don't get anything more than a Ryobi drill and see if you need a good one, once it breaks, then you can decide what color you will use for the next 20 years.

Get cheap tools. Buy everything at harbor freight. Don't splurge on anything that's not a safety hazard (get a quality ladder, but buy cheap screwdrivers)

If the tool breaks, buy a quality one to replace it.

Project Farm is your friend to find the cheap option, and the quality option.

Edit: Substitute Princess Auto for Harbor Freight, as you're in Canada.

This is the technology community. If you're not interested in reading about new and groundbreaking tech, maybe you should block this one, start a consumerism community, all about stuff you can buy.

The rest of us are quite happy reading about potential ideas and research that may or may not become something profitable.

There's a lot to be said for the late 90's. Post Cold War, but pre 9/11.

It's not perfect for everyone, especially if you're LGBT+, but it's got a lot going for it.

VERY specific people would have been better off born 20 years ago.

The vast majority of people would be better off today.

You can imagine in another 20 years that would be different, but almost everyone is better off today than they were 20 years ago, and they will be even better 20 years from now than today.

Specific groups may have a harder time in one time period or another, but society at large is getting better at the world scale over the long term. Hope still exists.

Claims none of its client's data was compromised.

 

Plex has notified some of its users on Thursday to urgently update their media servers due to a recently patched security vulnerability.

The company has yet to assign a CVE-ID to track the flaw and didn't provide additional details regarding the patch, only saying that it impacts Plex Media Server versions 1.41.7.x to 1.42.0.x.

But it creates others. In the US we vote for people, in proportional representing, you vote for parties.

You can argue that's better, but it's very different from what we have now.

It contracts your pupils to help make your vision slightly better at the expense of night vision. The drug lasts 10 hours, so it would probably impact night driving.

Not sure the trade offs are worth it, based on the fact that most people could just wear cheap drug store reading glasses.

I'm extremely skeptical, but I guess I'll wait until I see something that's not just a press release.

Valid kinks require consent. This was forcing your sexual depravity upon non-consenting people, probably including children.

This isn't a kink, it's abuse.

This is illegal now?

I had one with solar and one without, I think the solar is mostly useless.

It only takes a short time to charge it up with the USB charger (proprietary charger, FYI) so I don't think it really matters.
