Spiracle

Cities which had someone blow a horn to wake everyone up would also have watchmen walking the city at night. Presumably, they would wake the next person up when their shift ended so that someone is awake at all times.

Perhaps this ASRM-ish reading of java class exceptions might calm you down? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCCTCVBFt6E

Here’s a dramatic reading of some of miku’s posts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDqik-Y27Uc
The same text as from the OP is the first one in the video.

If the community is so large that your post is immediately buried, it’s large enough for a subcommunity.

However, most communities on the threadiverse are not that large. In that case, fragmenting the tiny communities even more just hides your post from the users who might be interested but are not subscribed to a niche subcommunity of a small community.

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen several different clips where he repeats the same “I’m a moron” spiel.

While I have only watched what few clips came my way, I was under the impression that was the entire point of his podcast: Invite interesting* people, then validating them in discussion by agreeing to most of their takes regardless of how bizarre they are so that they freely speak of their topic.

*wherein “interesting” is usually something from the categories of fringe beliefs (often conspiracies), drugs, culturally influential people, or experts on whatever is a big topic for his viewership at the time.

Many of the experts are also those of the fringe belief kind.

Basically, if you take Rogan’s views significantly more seriously than the beliefs of your local meth head, you are doing it wrong.

1. Freeze leftovers. If food is too much, put 1-2 meals in a freezer-ready container, put it away. Eat it a few weeks/months later when you’re too lazy to cook.

2. Measure ingredient amounts. Usually, I don’t bother, but if I don’t want leftovers, it’s necessary.

Interesting.

For me, Makerspace always made more sense. You go there to make something. Hacking, while not negative, always has the meaning of modifying existing things to me, which does not always apply.

I hack together an item = I merge several items into one. I hack an item = I modify an item.
Not a native speaker, so I’m unsure if that is the correct usage.

Is there a big difference between paid and free readers? It seems weird for them to only list readers with monthly cost (+a browser).

That is unrelated to normal straw usage, though. They can at any time declare that they need “medical straws”, define that only certified companies can provide them, and then demand hundreds of Dollars for them. I would not be surprised if this was already happening somewhere.

Someone made a website to compile them you might find, but here’s what I remember:

• Putting the extraordinarily unstable test release of a package in their normal release. That package specifically included disclaimers that it was for testing only, not meant for any users, and it was very clearly not meant for general release to unsuspecting end-users.

• Getting banned off the AUR (twice?) for DDOS-ing it due to their faulty code. As I recall, every machine queried the AUR for updates constantly, or something like that.

• Breaking AUR dependencies because of holding back releases for a few weeks, which they regularly to improve safety. Basically, don’t use AUR on Manjaro.

no distro will make decisions that are even in the ballpark of insanity of those by big tech corps.

Manjaro dev team enters the room.

Children are easy to carry and often easily accessible. Sadly, it is often as simple as driving close to one in a car, then pulling them inside.

Actually, that can work for adults as well, according to some vids and news stories I’ve seen. Many crimes are incredibly easy. Just like the death toll and environmental/monetary/health cost of cars, it’s just not mainstream knowledge.

And that doesn’t include all the other causes. Runaways are missing, and often intentionally trying to stay missing. Parents taking children and leaving the country without telling anyone can make them all be “missing”. Bureaucratic issues can mean that a simple move leaves children “missing” in one official register or another. Some people or families are simply not “in the system”, living off-the-grid.

Yay, more heat. Looking forward to my skin melting off soon.

With how cyclical heat seems to be, probably the hottest year until ~4 years from now.

Just long enough for sceptics to dismiss it again, because any day without high heat means climate change is fake.

Personally, sitting in a seat with plenty of room and casually watching videos, browsing kbin, or eating some food is a strictly superior experience to the constant vigilance of city traffic while not being allowed to move from my place.

so I don’t know where those “angry car haters” come from

Having read those comments… probably because OP already dismissed the legitimacy of the community and therefore interpreted all comments in the worst light. Any hint at even the smallest passion for the subject becomes “angry haters”.

Same as the other commenter who dismissed anyone wanting to go without cars as “paupers”, because they cannot imagine there being legitimate reasons to avoid cars.

Just a warning, some vendors sell locked Pixel phones, apparently. I remember seeing a bunch of very dissatisfied posts when it was new.

It is also not recommended to use 2FA on PC to verify stuff on PC. (Personally, I still do that for some stuff due to laziness, though…)

Basically, hacking/stealing one device should not be enough to get your stuff. Smartphones are relatively often compared to PCs. As long as you still have a secure password you need to enter, I wouldn’t care too much, though.

Sadly, not that easy, since “income” no longer accounts for the huge wealth gap. Until stocks and assets are counted and taxed appropriately, the top 0.1% will remain just as wealthy.

It might work on parts of the 1% to 0.1%, though.

You get default access to the Google Play Store. It’s just that the Play Store is demoted from being an irremovable system app with all permissions to being treated as a normal app. Depending on the app/feature you want you may need to add a permission manually, but everything should work.
