Fauxreigner@beehaw.orgto Do It Yourself@beehaw.org•What do you recommend as a solution to harden paper?3·1 year agoDepending on your use case, if you want something stiffer you could brush each sheet with slow curing epoxy resin, then layer and press it to create some DIY micarta (yes, micarta technically uses phenolic resin, but epoxy should work fine for most uses).

Here is why we are asking for your email address to read 404 Media2·1 year agoYou can also do this in Gmail natively by using a plus sign instead of the hyphen. E.g. [email protected] will deliver, as the plus and everything between it and the @ are ignored. This may work on other platforms too.
Or, as mentioned in another comment, you can do this easily with a domain you own. Although you may get the occasional call from a merchant validating that [email protected] is an actual order.

Fauxreigner@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•The march towards an all-EV future hit a major roadblock. What went wrong?9·1 year agoI think there’s massive untapped demand for things like mini city cars and kei trucks.
Not just that, but even the more middle ground small cars. I’d love to have an EV truck sized the way they were in the 80’s/90’s (which was more or less comparable to a midsize sedan, just taller). The push to bigger and bigger wheelbases to take advantage of loopholes in the efficiency standards really doesn’t need to be reflected in EVs, but it’s what all the major automakers are doing.
Fauxreigner@beehaw.orgto U.S. News@beehaw.org•US Supreme Court announces formal ethics code for justices4·2 years agoMore to the point, there are some perfectly suitable rules that every other federal judge is bound to, we don’t need a new set of rules at all.
Fauxreigner@beehaw.orgto U.S. News@beehaw.org•US Supreme Court announces formal ethics code for justices13·2 years agoFrom the opening page
The Court has long had the equivalent of common law ethics rules, that is, a body of rules derived from a variety of sources, including statutory provisions, the code that applies to other members of the federal judiciary, ethics advisory opinions issued by the Judicial Conference Committee on Codes of Conduct, and historic practice. The absence of a Code, however, has led in recent years to the misunderstanding that the Justices of this Court, unlike all other jurists in this country, regard themselves as unrestricted by any ethics rules. To dispel this misunderstanding, we are issuing this Code, which largely represents a codification of principles that we have long regarded as governing our conduct.
So…
- Why, if you think the code that applies to all other federal judges is good, did you not simply adopt it?
- So the problem is that people think the justices consider them not bound by ethics rules because they don’t have a formal code, not the behaviors of certain justices that have come to light in recent years, got it.

You are correct that they can just route through authorized boards or spoof that they are one.

Fauxreigner@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•US agency sues Tesla as Black workers report “swastikas, threats, and nooses”26·2 years agoNah, these accusations of racism from a company owned by an Apartheid era South African emerald mine heir are too racist.
Unless you’re willing to put in some kind of response that basically says “I’m not going to respond to that” (and that’s a sure way to break immersion) this is effectively impossible to do well, because the writer has to anticipate every possible thing a player could say and craft a response to it. If you don’t, you’ll end up finding a “nearest fit” that is not at all what the player was trying to say, and the reaction is going to be nonsensical from the player’s perspective
LA Noire is a great example of this, although from the side of the player character: the dialogue was written with the “Doubt” option as “Press” (as in, put pressure on the other party). As a result, a suspect can say something, the player selects “Doubt”, and Phelps goes nuts making wild accusations instead of pointing out an inconsistency.
Except worse, because in this case, the player says something like “Why didn’t you say something to your boss about feeling sick?” and the game interpreted it as “Accuse them of trying to sabotage the business.”
