That sounds like an awesome gig for 99% of the time and an absolute bitch and a half the 1% of the time you’re needed.

Metaphysician here. The platonic ideal of gluten will induce the platonic ideal of diarrhea. Honestly I’m not going to call that a good trade, but that’s an exercise for the reader.

Naproxen is my number one go-to answer for any sort of minor aches and pains. Headache? Cured. Muscle pains? It doesn’t get rid of them, but it does make it a lot less noticeable. Hangover, stomach ache, stubbed toe, hurt feelings? Naproxen has you covered. Love that stuff.

It will, however, cause internal bleeding if you drink alcohol while on it. So maybe don’t do that. I don’t drink so I love the stuff.

Any further back than 2 or 300 years and you would definitely, 100% guaranteed be burned as a witch upon arrival.

The only reason I want Lemmy to grow is because I miss having niche video game communities with more than a dozen members :c

Discord is increasingly filling that role now, but there are a large number of reasons why I’m not really a fan of that as a replacement.

Mostly I just want to talk about the new Factorio expansion with everyone…

They’ve been mandatory on all new vehicles since 2018

Oh yes, I meant this particular variation. This seems like it would be popular with a wider audience.

I officially decree that this needs to become a viral meme, Lemmy let’s do what we’re good at and pound this horse into paste

It sounds by all accounts like he went over to Russia and just continued being the exact same man that he was back home. And the Russians of the time loved him.

I aspire to have principles that I stick to with the gusto that Cassius Clay exhibited. I didn’t even know about Clay’s Battalion but I believe it on sight because that sounds like exactly what he would do in that situation.

Somebody got smacked because they were told that this was a safe area to be in. Then they get hit, and are blamed for not being careful enough in the area they were told was safe to be in.

Cassius Marcellus Clay was the son of one of the wealthiest slave owners in America and grew up to be the single most influential and most dangerous abolitionist in American history. He had so many duels with slavers, and won so many of them, that he became statistically the most dangerous duelist to ever exist in North America.

When his cousin, Kentucky senator Henry Clay ran for president, Cassius wanted to come campaign for him down South. Henry vetoed this out of concerns that Cassius would come down south and duel so many slave owners to the death that it could be considered election interference.

The Fat Electrician has an excellent video on the life and times of Clay, I highly recommend it. And if you’re wondering, yes, Muhammad Ali was named after this Cassius Clay.

Pretty sure it does, actually. If I look up a route and my partner looks up the same route at the same time both from within our house, mine usually has about a 3-5 minute faster eta.

I do a lot of highway driving. It’ll frequently tell me “in X miles take the exit towards [whatever]” but it will refuse to tell me what exit number I’m looking for until I’m within a mile or two of it. This is frequently a problem when I have exits with A/B/C branches which is often. I don’t give a shit if I’m exiting towards I40, just tell me I’m exiting on 13B, and tell me that from the beginning.

It used to do this, it changed a couple years ago, and I’ve been pissed off about it every time I’ve had to drive somewhere since then.

It’ll also randomly change voices on me, it’ll flip flop constantly between the American accent and a thick British accent. No rhyme or reason to it either, it’ll be a different voice on the same turn on a different day. Drives me nuts.

Screensaver? I rigged up Wallpaper Engine just to make that my actual desktop background.

I’m a technically savvy but new to Linux user who installed Mint as my primary OS about a month ago. So far I’ve used Flatpaks and AppImages without any issue and haven’t come across snaps. Would you explain the differences and why I would care about one over another?

Dropping the demand for rentals is supposed to address this. But there is going to be a great big gap between “no one is renting” and “we can’t afford to keep this house that no one is renting” where the prices will skyrocket to try and make up costs, which kind of shoots this plan in the foot unless all the newly emancipated renters plan to pitch a tent for a couple years while the market settles.

What’s the easiest way to transfer files from windows to the deck? This seems like it should have been easy but I remember spending several frustrating hours setting up ssh only to have it frequently fail for reasons unknown, last time I tried this around when I first got my deck. Does a USB cable work if you plug it in directly? I don’t have a USB3>C data cable but I can probably get one.

Ohio as a state is a liminal space full of cornfields and a feeling of wasted potential. A disproportionate number of American astronauts come from Ohio, proving that the primary thing on the minds of Ohioans is getting as far away from Ohio as possible no matter the cost.

If something is Ohio it’s a place or a situation that you don’t want to be in. It’s a dead end with a feeling of vague discomfort.

Cyberpunk works great on Proton 7. I was playing it last night. It crashes on updated/experimental Proton but by forcing compatibility to Proton 7.0-6 I played for about 4 hours with no issues.

I’m starting to get the impression that most software older than me is defined more by what it isn’t than by what it is.
