Funny, last night my wife and I were greeted by the shithole that is SEA, followed by a 45 minute wait for a shuttle to the car rental place. That airport is a joke.
(We’re exploring this part of the country, camping along the way and flying back home from Butte. If we were staying in Seattle we’d just use public transit/taxis)
Ollie went to the neighborhood dance
And he won the big door prize
It was a toilet brush, and he took it home,
And next week some of the guys
They said, "Ollie how’s that toilet brush?
“The one you won from the neighbors?”
Ollie said, "It works pretty good,
“But I prefer toilet paper”

Just stay away from nvidia on Linux and you are golden.
I’m sorry but this is the kind of condescending bullshit that pushes me away from Linux
I got a 3070TI for half off MSRP for open box in the middle of the crypto bubble, and I’m not buying another GPU until I absolutely have to.
You want more people to embrace Linux? Make it work on startup without jumping through a bunch of hoops, on the hardware we already own.
Your lived experience with Windows is yours, and I’m glad you have a system that works for you. I don’t have the time or mental energy to learn, not just a new OS, but also all of the bugs that go with it.
Look, I get it. I’m putting my apprentice in my old work van, and as I’m looking at the old heap I’m remembering all the little quirks it has that I’ve developed blind spots for. Blind spots they don’t have. Quirks that are actually problems. I know there are problems with windows that I ignore because I know how to work around them. I know the workarounds because I’ve been using Windows since 3.11. I didn’t have that experience with Linux, and neither does my wife. A woman who once nearly bricked our computer falling for an Indian call center scam.
When this rig bites the dust, I’ll probably build a Linux gaming box and just tell her to get used to the OS. For now, we’re using Windows
Also HP is shit and I’d gladly put any HP exec in the hospital if I met them
That would be me.
Tried Ubuntu 15 years ago, but couldn’t because Nvidia driver issues, and haven’t tried again
Look, dudes, I’m bootstrapping a small business while trying to manage ADHD. I can barely get two hours of admin work done in an eight hour day. I just need things to work. I’d love to walk away from Windows but I don’t have the mental bandwidth for that shit
And even if I did, my wife and I share a gaming computer/media center. There’s nothing like having her call me in the middle of a workday because my VPN is keeping her from logging into PBS so that she can watch Grantchester. Imagine the headaches if I installed a new OS.
Much like improving my physical fitness, I have the desire, but not the will
"I took out a grenade. He [his comrade] said, “Let’s do it.” We hugged each other, threw it on the ground and said some last warm words to each other. The comrade also has a leg wound.
It sounds like they were standing, dropped the grenade at their feet, and were hugging each other. The hug would possibly reduce some damage to center mass, and it sounds like both have injuries to the legs. If the grenade rolled away that would increase survivability. It also sounds like the interviewee took the brunt of the damage.
But don’t listen to me, the closest I’ve come to a grenade is a Chipotle burrito with bad arvo
Unless these are actual conscientious objectors. They won’t take a life, even if they die as a result. It’s a moral stand, and one I respect
So i know this is just a joke, but I imagine the simulation limits one’s options to those present in the room. If she wants to send someone more likely to survive, like Data, there would be a roadblock:
Something limits the options to those in the room. Georgi is the most qualified, and time is short
Yeah there’s no point in spending the money on R&D and manufacturing just togive info to an outside party. This is either preventative like you say, or they plan to offer a subscription service to local PD’s at a price
I mean, if you’re not passing in the left lane…
I kid, i kid, I’ve been on those residential two lane roads. The number of people that think highway guidelines apply on a residential road are mind-blowing. Like, I’m in this lane because I’m turning left in a mile and trying to merge a full-size work van with medium traffic congestion is a challenge already. I’m sorry I kept you from driving your Mazda like a Maserati
Neat! Thank you _
Hey what’s the difference between Shattered Pixel Dungeon and Pixel Dungeon ML?
This was really interesting. Thank you OP!
If you’re not in a position to watch the video, the tl;dw: is that plant xylem cell structure allows water to pass but is too small for bacteria to pass, creating not just a large particle filter but a bacterial filter as well. Note that viruses can also pass
There’s lots more, he talks about a study on this, has the water tested for e-coli, and talks about some of the conditions that optimize this filtration method, asking other things. Go watch it if you can

Things that grind my gears but I don’t comment on them because I don’t want to be viewed as a pedantic twat:

Cabinet doors in part reduce the amount of dust that winds up on the contents of the cabinets, as well as other aerosol particulates like grease from cooking. Think about what the top of your range hood looks like if you don’t clean it regularly.
Of course that isn’t a factor if you have a low dust environment and never cook in your kitchen
Regarding integration to a home network, well… I’m not up on residential stuff, so consider this a starting point
If you’re looking for a higher security keyway or a more durable lock, I’d go with a smart lock retrofit kit like August or Yale Approach. These will mount to an existing deadbolt inside the door and turn it into an electrified DB, but the outside remains unchanged. I will say Medeco has some interesting standalone deadbolt solutions, but they are geared for larger systems and commercial use.
On the hardware side, you can’t go wrong with a Schlage B250 with a Primus cylinder. Other options are the ASSA 7000 series, the Medeco Maxum, or the Mul-T-Lock Hercular. Add a reinforced strike plate, and, if your really worried, a door wrap for another layer of metal reinforcement on the door, and you’re sitting pretty. Now the bad guys will take over look at your Fort Knox door, shake their heads in despair, and break a window instead.
Kwikset Obsidian
No key, use a 9V battery on the exterior terminals if you get locked out because of a dead battery
User codes 4-8 digits in length
Smudge resistant touchscreen, sometimes annoying to activate
Discontinued, but you can find them on Amazon
Compatible with standard US deadbolt prep, no additional drilling required
Has an automatic relock option, locks itself after 30 seconds. Just didn’t forget, if you propped the door open for a minute, the bolt is extended. Don’t mindlessly slam the door
Because this doesn’t have a keyway, I have no problem recommending this Kwikset. Kwikset Smartkey has gotten better, but still has vulnerabilities that I didn’t like.
Barbie song, hands down
