Kinda like the instant coffee my grandma uses. For some reason it has no nutritional information on it at all. Not even caffeine content.

Where does instant coffee fall in this paradigm?

Gender inequality isn’t solved via paperwork. If anything that would make pay equity even harder to achieve.

The movie Trick 'r Treat, scaring the neighborhood kids, and blowing out all the jack o lanterns at 12:01.

And leave out a bowl of milk and a tray of candies for the demons/fairies overnight.

Haha. It’s always a vibe. Saw a little kid dressed as the warden from Minecraft and I pretended to have the darkness effect and gave him a wad of mini crunch bars. I think he was super happy to get recognized!

And they aren’t hard and fast rules. Just a sliding scale. And after being on candy duty for the last 15 years, you kinda just internalize it.

Plus, Halloween is all about the rules. Say trick or treat. Don’t blow out your pumpkin before midnight so the demons don’t get ya. Always check your candy.

There are rules for my parents house. I give out the candy there and we go through like 30 pounds of it in a night.

Not Saying Trick or Treat? No Candy. (EDIT: If they don’t say it, I always ask them “What do you say?” Which is funny too. Sometimes they go through “Thank you” “Happy Halloween” then finally get to “Trick or Treat.” Then they do get their appropriate amount of candy.)

Saying Trick or Treat with no costume? One candy, low tier.

Trick or Treat with Costume? 2 pieces, probably some chocolate.

Trick or Treat with High Effort or Very Unique costume I haven’t seen 10 of all night? 3-4 pieces def some chocolate and a ring pop.

Within that, older siblings escorting younger? Extra piece + glow stick.

Family Costume Set? Extra piece and my mom takes a picture of them.

I scare the shit out of you when I rip the door open? Extra piece?

I scare you and you cry? Extra chocolate.

Babies? Mom deserves an extra piece.

Apparently the client I was using didn’t render codeblock markdown. Thanks for the pointer. Found a better client.

Requires ffmpeg and imagemagick

#!/bin/bash

if [ $# -lt 1 ]; then
    echo "Usage: $0 <input_video>"

if [ ! -f "$input_video" ]; then
    echo "Error: Input video file not found."

# Get video duration in seconds (floating-point)
duration=$(ffprobe -v error -show_entries format=duration -of default=noprint_wrappers=1:nokey=1 "$input_video")

# Check if the duration was successfully extracted

    echo "Error: Could not retrieve video duration."
    exit 1

# Calculate fps as 20 frames divided by the duration

# Create a directory to store frames

# Clean up temporary files (delete frames directory)
rm -r frames

Neat!

If you want blazing fast on an old machine, I always keep a flash drive with some good old slitaz. Can’t beat that all in ram configuration on the slitaz minimal windowed version. But that’s not really the question here. If the cinnamon variant is slow, xfce.

Coming from someone who nuked their grandmas computer and installed ChromeOS Flex on it since she can’t screw that up too badly and just needs a Facebook/search machine.

Tho, now I am wishing for a ChromeOS Flex version that is just Firefox since adblock will be dying on chrome with manifest v3.

I was suggesting mint for cinnamon since it would be relatively familiar to anyone using windows, at least in form. Decently managed software store.

Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Zorin OS Lite, Peppermint OS.

Shoulda built it in Julia.

But are the thigh high socks provided or must I purchase them separately?
