Probably a naive question, but does the MN supreme court have any precedent cases where they punted on a "political" issue? This seems pretty clear-cut to me in favor of the GOP, and the rules-lawyering by the DFL seems to me as exactly the sort of behavior you should throw the book at, under the "win stupid prizes" principle.

Money is great, but I prefer the sax segment from Us And Them, around 5:20ish.

Does anyone have any advice on safely getting rid of a smallish, mostly-full canister of propane? Most of what I'm finding online assumes the canister is empty. Hazardous waste disposal in my city is handled in a different county, by appointment, bringing it to their facility and waiting in line, and the next day they have appointment slots open is December 7th. I want to get this out of my space as quickly as possible - at the very least I'd like to find a safe way to empty it. The only reason I even have it is that my old roommate brought it from our previous apartment and the canister wound up in a box of stuff in a bathroom closet when we moved.

Like the IBC spent the last three revisions updating the spacing of outlets on a kitchen island, but there's no standard place to mount an extinguisher.
Oof, that's annoying. Especially doesn't help that mine is mounted under the kitchen sink, which is a great way to rarely see or think about it.

Is your bathroom fan on a timer that runs for hours a day?
It is not, we just tend to run it a lot cause GF and I tend to nuke the bathroom. Plus the white noise helps me sleep, usually.
Having a washer and dryer in the house rather than a shed sounds like a lot of trouble. I'd never even thought about dealing with lint in an interior.
To be clear, the bathroom fan is on a different duct than our dryer - there was just so much dust buildup/clumping on the fan intake that it was basically the consistency of lint. Sorry if that was confusing. I've had a washer/dryer combo in every place I've lived in and never had much trouble beyond the dryer not drying effectively. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Had a fire in my apartment early yesterday morning - bathroom fan burned out and ignited a bunch of trapped lint. Saw it very quickly after it started, thanks flu making it hard to sleep. Didn't remember we had a fire extinguisher until girlfriend called 911. Extinguisher put it out quickly, thankfully the only flammable stuff that was touched was the bath mat and not the very full trash can. Burned my hand and foot, thankfully not too heavily. Girlfriend and cats are completely fine. Currently staying at a hotel, gonna crash with a local friend once we check out tomorrow.
If our management hadn't sent out an email the other week reminding us that it's almost time for the yearly fire extinguisher inspection, I might not have remembered we had one. As it is, I only made the association when GF said she'd call 911. There's a whole lot of little things that have lined up recently that by some factor have contributed to saving our lives. It is a miracle to me that the only casualties in this situation are my bath mat, a bunch of my stuff being covered in soot, and blisters on my hand and foot.
If anyone has any advice on how to de-soot linens and stuff, or anything else I should know about...just processing a near-miss like this. I'd appreciate it.
Double-check where your nearest fire extinguisher is. Make a mental note.

Brave (browser), DDG/Startpage (search engine). I've heard about Kagi but haven't actually tried it yet.
Also worth noting that Brave is a great mobile browser given how few adblocking solutions there are for mobile platforms.

So, Quokkit. Haven't put in any time on it this last week due to IRL responsibilities. The big thing that's currently annoying me: I'm currently storing the list of comment ids in a flat array, this makes navigating comment threads cumbersome because there's no concept of comment depth. Changing this to a tree would be more representative of thread structure and simplify future work on comment navigation and loading comments after the initial page load. Once that's dealt with, a nice-to-have for this week would be making the "Load more comments" button navigable so it can be activated with keybinds.
I was working on a click-to-select feature as a workaround for having to manually navigate through a thread, and that's still on the map, but I haven't nailed it down yet.
Undefined behavior isn't something you solve at runtime, it's literally implementation-defined behavior. Working in kernelspace is definitely not gonna give you the performance leeway to catch UB whoopsies. What should be catching it is a static analysis tool like Fortify, especially given Falcon is deployed on government hardware. If Crowdstrike doesn't have Fortify or a similar tool as part of their ops process, they've got security compliance issues.

Forum-specific keybinds like voting and replying and editing comments I guess. Why use RES over vimium?
I'd still be okay with this, comparatively speaking.
