My step kid won’t eat PBJs, corn dogs, and thinks they like grilled cheese, but has yet to eat more than a few bites of restaurant grilled cheese. They love crab legs and lobster. My wallet is crying.

Yeah, I’m just warning people who aren’t going to click on the link and instead start mixing lye and borax and wiping the counter with it

Lye and oil makes soap, not lye and borax. The key in all these recipes is lye and oils, not lye and borax for anyone who isn’t going to click on the link and start mixing these chemicals. Lye can be real nasty if you don’t know how to handle it. It’s one of those chemicals where the safety precautions are there for a reason, not because it’s normal practice.

It’s pneumatic, not vacuum. Geez.

I believe it would have been winlink or amprnet. I think winlink really only does low bandwidth things like email and weather bulletins. Not sure about amprnet

Who gets to decide what’s moral or competent? We’ve been there, it doesn’t end up well. It’s better to have a good public education system.

Meanwhile in Albuquerque we’ve made buses free because the fare infrastructure costs more than to run the buses.

There’s also that pesky low r/w bitrate.

Because it isn’t a lawful order. License and registration are all that’s required for a traffic stop. If the officer had probable cause that a crime had been committed, then it would be a lawful order, but they didn’t. Therefore, his rights were violated.

You gave a snarky response implying that there aren’t ads on Ubuntu and they replied with confirmation from a developer that they’ll be forcing ads on ubuntu.

Are you still arguing that canonical isn’t serving ads on Ubuntu? Or are you just being an ass because you were proven wrong?

It was a homemade blank, using hot glue to “hold it all together”. I’m guessing the poor kid got a plug of hot glue in his shoulder.

I don’t keep a Swiss army knife set of distros anymore. I put tumbleweed on a USB. It’s rolling so I update it when I plug it in, then do what I need to do.

I used to have a USB with Ubuntu LTS and whatever the newest Ubuntu was. Then another would get something else that I needed/wanted. I always ended up wiping the drive and adding the newest release every single time. I was always out of date by the time I needed one of them for boot repair or something. This was also a time when persistence… Wasn’t very persistent. With tumbleweed I can install whatever I need and it’s there next time. I’m sure you can do the same with any other rolling release, but tumbleweed is in my opinion on par stability-wise with incremental distros. It’s my first grab whenever I need to check a PC. If I need another distro or boot USB, I can make it from this one with a second USB. I suppose the only thing I can’t do is make a bootable USB if the computer I’m on can’t access the Internet

As far as I know, it isn’t illegal to attain or have media for personal use. It is illegal to circumvent DRM and to distribute the media.

So, for example, it isn’t illegal to record a stream. But the hoops you’d have to jump through in order to do so would end up circumventing DRM or with incredibly poor quality.

Well, if they didn’t push trash with their algorithms, maybe people would finish more videos.

It’s pretty wild. I have recently been ripping my DVD/Blu-ray collection and encoding them from a clean rip to my server. Encoding at 480p is perfectly acceptable if you’re starting with a high enough bitrate source. You can tell it’s 480p, but its so much better than Netflix’s absolute trash streams that will give you “UHD” at bitrates lower than a DVD. 360p does leave something to be desired, but they’re still perfectly watchable.

There are certainly shows and movies that deserve higher definition, but I’ve found that unless they’re from the ground up meant to be purely visually masterpieces, it’s better to have lower resolution and a matching bitrate than to ruin the experience with artifacts.

Someone call Mark Mothersbaugh asap. 💩

Yes

I went through the report, and the raw data at the end shows the two samples coming back at “0.139” and “ND”

I used both tumbleweed and leap for a bit and they really are good. I’m actually using tumbleweed on a home server right now and it’s been a champ. But…

1. My biggest gripe is opensuse seems to use different package names than any of the other distros for basic packages. I had to install a package that used capitals in the package name, and coming from mostly debian based distros, that made me rationally angry when trying to find the package I needed. I think it was network-manager or something that’s usually installed by default and I wanted something familiar.

2. Online directions for setting something up usually has deb and/or fedora rpm directions, which is usually just some difference in package names and the equivalent install command, searching the base package will let you figure it out. I had very few issues following debian/Ubuntu directions and translating them for fedora. Opensuse is always non-existent so you always need to translate those directions for opensuse, which is usually like doing it for fedora until you run into point (1).

That’s only after taking away all the toys they pulled out instead of doing anything to get ready for the last 30 minutes.
