Minecraft is an absolute trash game but a wonderful creative canvas.

Nix is not place that you want to go just for the hell of it.

If you want to be able to store your entire operating system config in a repo, and spread it to a bunch of other boxes, and have the ability to rollback to any point in your install history, it's the bee's knees.

But to do that, you need to rely on there massive community repository of apps understand their language, and be ready to fight with most uncommon packages that you might want. You can't just install or upgrade apps anymore. Upgrading channels to get app updates as much less likely to go smoothly.

Overall for me, NixOS is a net positive but it's not by that much. If I were going to go from scratch again I'd probably just go back to Debian. But, sunk cost fallacy I'm in it now and I need a good reason to get out of it.

FFS you're just cherry picking your way through anything anyone says.

Argue anyone's whole comment in context or just go be a fanboy. You don't really mind if you don't like it but you're retorts are weak.

The first three statements in my post support the fourth. Just because you don't like my conclusion doesn't make it unreasonable.

From the light details in the article, here's what's not in question: He came on to his nanny. He came on to his fan. Two separate unrelated people. They are both half his age. They both have unsubstantiated but like stories.

Now any of three things could be lies or deceptions or something else. That's why if he has something to say he deserves to be heard.

We don't have any form of denial from his side. No claims of I don't know these people or you don't have all the facts. No statements of collusion. I would assume his lawyer said don't say anything. Well this is fine and does not make him guilty it also doesn't give us even the slightest indication that any of this is a fabrication.

The next problem is when I say it's reasonable that is my subjective opinion. If you know him and have a long personal knowledge of his history maybe you have a different opinion than me.

Based on the information that's brought forward substantiated and unsubstantiated I'm saying that this is a reasonable and likely direction that this will head. That is unless they settle out of court and what you won't hear about it again.

I tried slackwear in '94. Getting it running was no big deal, but I had zero experience and documentation / help guides were thin. Installing applications or getting peripherals to work was prohibitively difficult without having a pretty decent amount of knowledge about it.

My high school had a rather large dose/novell Network but there was no internet yet. BBS's were a thing and you could get a lot of installers and information from them. But they were all running in dos for the most part

My college had a VAX, it was more or less there just to get email and power a metric ass load of terminals in the library for research purposes. They really tried to keep you out of the CLI, everything was menued. I figured out that you could go for it to a South African University about seven times in a row and it would explode and give you a telnet session, but even then I wasn't really working with an OS shell. The school had a computer lab. It was all Windows 3 and Novell, No internet for the longest time.

My ISP had options to dial up into a terminal session. My home dial up line was awful. Trying to FTP over PPP was a fool's errand. I started getting used to connecting to my ISP and FTPing files down to their local node on with their T1 and then switching over to z modem to download the files to my house with the ability to auto restart on failure.

I didn't try to run a Linux based OS again until Gnome came out.

I've been Linux in the desktop for years. You really don't have any choice other than to be a little bit flexible.

More times than not it turns out to be a plugin that screws over the site. Here's my general path:

Won't load in Firefox? Disable privacy badger and ublock origin

Still won't load? Try it in a private window with no extensions loaded

Still won't load? Move over to brave.

Still won't work? Disable Shields

Still won't work? Straight to a vanilla copy of edge, (a vanilla copy of Vivaldi would also be reasonable)

Just last night I ran into a problem with my ADP work portal. Things worked fine for ages, All of a sudden my password wouldn't work. I went into private mode My password now works but loading the actual page netted me a blank page

I opened it up in brave and it just worked outright.

Two separate unrelated people.

Both in their twenties

Invites them into second/third base consensual relations and then it turns into rough sex.

I think that it's an absolutely reasonable assumption that he is into younger women and doesn't stop after he gets the green light.

But the article is light on details, and he at least deserves to have his say in court over it.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

They're only allowed to have 7.62 cm, so from a legal standpoint it's almost twice the legal limit.

If the law doesn't make sense you don't challenge it by breaking it.

The police don't carry guns there so yeah they're concerned.

Running around twirling a clearly illegal item in public is pretty good logical grounds for police intervention. If the law says 3 in when do you actually stop them is it 4, 10, 12? If he was just transporting it from one house to another they might have let it go. But he's walking around fidgeting twirling it in the open. I suspect he was performing twirls and dagger tricks. So the general public is probably also a little concerned. If he's walking around his neighborhood twirling it around all the time it might even been a neighbor that called the police on it.

The fine is reasonable, getting locked up for 4 months is probably a bit much.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

True, I'd still give them partial credit for the dumb statement.

Law says you can't carry a knife bigger than 3 in. He carries a knife twice that size.

Does he carry concealed in his pocket?

No, He's walking around carrying it openly pretending he's a blade master, oh sorry that's he claims it's a fidget toy.

4 months in jail seems a bit excessive, but when the law says don't carry a weapon and you carry a weapon...

Maybe we could find a 50 yo with Bernie's values and he could be on their cabinet. Idgaf about vibes, but maybe we could put someone in that's not on deaths door?

No choice. If only one side is violent, the other side will lose. It's a slippery slope, but play even or lose.

Ghost apples are made from a pretty interesting phenomenon whereby frozen weather coats an apple in ice. When the apple inside rots and falls out, the icy shell is left behind and you get an ice apple.

Veritasium is the king of almost clickbait, but he really gives out some crazy details.

Starting around 2:11 They explain RSA and get into the meat.

When quantum computers do all that crazy parallel math, apparently you only get one of the answers, and it's random :) But due to some sketchy repeating, any one of the answers is enough to make RSA vulnerable with just a little math.

Breaking up the flat agricultural areas of Argentina's Pampas is a guitar formed entirely out of trees. Stretching for 2/3 of a mile (1km), the multi-colored instrument was created by one Argentine farmer to memorialize his wife. Crushed by the loss of his love, a few years later Pedro Martin Ureta (owner) began working on designing a guitar in his field that could be seen from above by airplane. He settled on the design because his late wife loved the instrument and he wanted to memorialize her on his land.

Looks like a copy and paste job.

The Green Cathedral or De Groene Kathedraal located near Almere in the Netherlands, is an artistic planting of Lombardy poplars (Populus nigra italica) that mimics the size and shape of the Cathedral of Notre-Dame, Reims, France. The Green Cathedral is 150 m (490 ft) long and 75 m (246 ft) wide, and the mature poplar trees are about 30 m (98 ft) tall.

The planting itself is kinda ok, but taking the time to till out the same size in the forest next door is crazy

Aparently, I've conflated Level with Plumb, the walls cannot be parallel and plumb. Due to the curve, the center of gravity for the walls would require them to angle in slightly together or not be plumb.

I never considered how animals at zoos might respond to service animals. Does anyone know if they have any particular guidelines for service animals that differ from other places?

/u/luistp 8 mo. ago · edited 8 mo. ago

I don't know what are you talking about, those painted dogs have only friendly and lovely intentions.

Edit: obviously I was being sarcastic, some folks/children need that you put always the damn "/s"...

I've been to the Oregon Zoo and basically they break it down into three areas.

No problem being at this exhibit.

You can walk by these exhibits but don't linger.

You may not go into this area. (Things like the petting zoo, like no shit I don't want to put my service dog around goats. Or something like, you can check out the big cats but please avoid the panthers .. they hate dogs.)
