I spent two hours figuring this one out (matt@hiro) ~$ python >>> 0<0.1 True >>> from decimal import Decimal >>> Decimal(0) < 0.1 False Okay, so Decimal is a fixed-precision class which is more precise than standard float, yadda yadda. Okay, cool. So, let’s just convert both: >>> Decimal(0) < Decimal(0.1) Traceback (most recent call [...]

And the protagonist’s girlfriend is yelling at him for having been a changed man and how a week ago he wouldn’t have even picked up a gun. Are there really people out there so… repressed?

So, it turns out that I was wrong about my RI taxes. Apparently, this is designed for people who aren’t RI residents, but work in RI. It wasn’t clear from the RI instructions, but the H&R Block software explained it a little better – the only money that RI lays claim to is the money [...]

All the simulation stuff is taken care of in [...]

So, I was listening to this episode of Gun Nuts: The next generation, and they had this guy on from Mantis Knives. They look good, and seem very affordable. I ordered a B-4 Buzzard, because the Buck X-Tract isn’t really working for me. The blade is good (albeit a little large), the pliers aren’t as [...]

So, a friend of mine gave a financial planner/insurance benefits guy our info, which is fine. We met with him, not interested, upstanding guy, no issues. The flip side to this is that (for some reason), my mind went to dark places. * What if he was casing the house? * What if he was [...]

Proof: iRobot (the Roomba folks) develop a hamster-guided vacuum. They also make robots for the US military. So, just as there is a vacuum cleaner for the civilian market and one with an M249 on it (I presume) for the military, there must be a military correlation to the civilian hamster ball version. However, hamsters [...]
