Idiocy always seeks legitimacy

Here's the pattern as practiced by POTUS47, PP, Putin and Smith: describe all of your shortcomings and failures but pin it on the opposite side and you're golden as nobody can blame you back in that same sh#t. Or so the thinking goes

looks eerily familiar: recent tariff war drama with asking price sliding from 150% down to 25% . Ask for the moon in hopes to get a pebble. They are counting on US "folding" and US just might... except US is losing grip on Europe so end result will be unlikely what kremlin wants. They have stirred up this sh#t and they will have to live with it. It'll be an impossible sell for Baltics to leave NATO nor should they ever consider it.

LA PD chief stated that they will not report to ICE and that they will only uphold the law. So at least publicly they took a more neutral position

Goebels style propaganda: add a bit of narrative to otherwise true story. Take a look at today's russia it works

that is assuming Carney understands remote, which I'm not certain of.

entire piece sounded like "sponsored by Liberal Party of Canada"... RTO mandate is idiotic as issue of "under-performance" is largely a management issue and not an employee issue. In other words it's a free admission that management is clueless and has no idea how to harness remote to it's full potential.

they will be integrating it on service side if I read it correctly so the choice of client would be non-important

I'm confused: why do we have an issue of AI bots crawling internet practically DOS'ing sites? Even if there's a feed of synthesized data it is apparent that contents of internet sites plays role too. So backfeeding AI slop to AI sounds real to me.

in response to all "it's just practical" posts: politics is not about practical (esp. in PP's case) but about optics and gestures. Politician who wants to project integrity and confidence would make it known that they will not be using the place that doesn't belong to them until such time that it becomes OK again. There needs not to be a "move" even, but the gesture of not utilizing residence could go a long way. Alternative is a projection of entitlement and arrogance.

Consider this: if you're working for corporation and reside in corporation-sponsored residence, you'd be expected to vacate the place within rather short timeframe despite the fact that you've supplied your resume to HR for position that just opened. And considering that PP views are very corporate I see disconnect with rhetoric.

his "philanthropy" was harmful as well - grants prohibited research institutions from sharing results etc. investments into "harmful" ventures... don't be fooled he is Vector from Despicable me... with rich daddy, useless gimmicks and anything of value stolen or extorted from competitors and "partners"

 

Fedora 40 running on Dell laptop with KDE spin has done it twice on separate occasions: after rebooting for updates it just hangs after applying them. Is this something known? I've looked on google but could find only similar queries in other places with no answers or "just hard reset it" answers. I've been running Fedora for over a decade now and haven't seen such behaviour until recent releases. Some config drift? something else?

 

Pi Cap has everything I need for my project in terms of function, however their howto page has 2022 update stating that Bullseye does not work with it and one needs to use Buster. I would appreciate any pointers.

 

Is there an abridged version (1-2 pages) of main game math mechanics for v3.5 or v5?

Does anyone else experience "avalanche" of app crashes on each thunderbolt dock unplug with Fedora 41 KDE edition?

I have file an issue and linked some of the crash reports already ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2329570 ) but I am curious whether it's something specific to my setup or a general problem?

Youtube bumps me out (self.libretube)
 

I haven't looked at youtube content for a while, however lately I can't watch any videos using libretube. Something about "prove you're not a bot" which I assume is a consequence of google's crusade against add-ons and 3rd party tools. Is there a way around it or are we done with YT?

Window sills material (self.woodworking)
submitted 1 year ago by droopy4096 to c/woodworking
 

I'm trying to make my own window sills in our new house. We have windows rather deep so depth is around 9in and wide - 42/60in. I'm looking at read oak vs douglas fir. Red oak is mainly available in sub 8in cuts. The only one I found in 9in is 3/4 thick. Would that be sufficient to support plant pots or potentially human sitting on them? However Fir I can get in various sizes so I was looking at 1in thick.

Which one would be more practical? Oak at 3/4 or Fir at 1in?

My reading was that fir is sufficiently softer so plant pots may leave imprints etc. or am I wrong there?

 

I've tried several clients now, and unlike Reddit clients I cannot locate any of the posts/comments I've upvoted in the past? Is that a bug/feature of the platform?

 

I just found out that sometime in the last month or so while doing regular updates Wine got bumped to 8.12... (likely from 8.0) and my games have gone haywire: Neverwinter Nights and Diablo2 would kind of start but then halt. Switching to desktop and back unblocks games for the next few seconds and then things repeat.

I've downgraded wine to 7.12 and things are working back.

Question: should I have done some migration step for 8.12 to work properly or is it even a known issue?

I am using PlayOnLinux for Diablo2 with System Wine and Vanilla System wine for NWN.
