Also the "force" sign in the background. Are the cats in OPs basement doing okay?

I always say no, but the cup marks against my face always betray me

To do: recite the alphabet backwards as fast as you can

To watch: birds

To listen: the rhythm of the street

That looks like a P21 "rotring" bearcup thruster using the TL86 downward lift variant first shown in Popular Mechanics in 1998 when the Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table.

Ah I see, that makes sense, cheers for this. I never knew that despite living there for many years. It really did seem like your vote counted directly towards both party and candidate - didn't realise MMP isn't under the umbrella of PR

(oh wow, no I was asking an honest question and ml was the instance first offered to me, jesus)

In Germany, I'm seeing lots of people vote tactfully to keep the AfD out which seems to be a new trend, so I'm not sure how robust PR is in the long run there. Still better than FPTP, of course.

You might need to bend a knee to explain how that answered my question

Dachshund is an English word that also shouldn’t exist.

Isn't this just cherry picking? Where's Germany

By using exclusionary discourse, assimilated from bougie fake activism

This is a totally normal, relatable sentence

He likes large butts, and he does not fib.

 

The US blocked high power graphics cards to specific countries, and then got all shaken up when their money moat was pole-vaulted by an embargo'd country wielding jank cards.

Why is this a big deal, exactly?

Who benefits if the US has the best AI, and who benefits if it's China?

Is this like the Space Race, where it's just an effort to spit on each other, but ultimately no one really loses, and cool shit gets made?

What does AI "supremacy" mean?

I'm glad at least one decent person made it through, but the other one, christ.

Also:

  • I DO NOT GIVE A SHIT THAT YOU WERE IN THE ARMY. It clearly didn't make you stronger.
  • I DO NOT GIVE A SHIT THAT YOU'RE (FAKING) WELSH. It was unnoticeable and had no effect.
  • I DO NOT GIVE A SHIT THAT YOU ARE A MOTHER/PRIEST. Anyone who uses that as a basis of trust is genuinely twisted in the head.
 

It's hard to characterize in a single sentence, so I'll just break it down into its constituent parts.

The Beep

When the laundry cycle finishes it does the following:

  • It beeps super loudly for 5 seconds
  • If you don't run to switch it off, it will wait 30 more seconds and then continue to beep super loudly for 5 seconds
  • If you switch it off whilst it's beeping, it will continue to finish its beeping
  • There is no volume setting nor any way to switch this off.

The Door

When it's finished. It does not release. That beeping sound from earlier to tell you to come get your laundry? No no no, that was just the "come and watch me drain" alarm.

  • Switching it off has no effect on the door release.
  • It releases whenever it wants. It could be 5 minutes, it could be 20.
  • When it does release, all you will get is a sound, so you better be around to hear it.
  • If you miss this sound, it will lock itself again 10-15 minutes later and rotate your clothes.
  • It will then repeat the release process.

HELP ME. HE-ELP ME.

 

I have the option to block users, but do I have a way of following or highlighting them in discussions?

I know that each user gets an RSS feed, but is there a way of using this within lemmy, similar to how I can click on "Subscribed" for communities?

The closest I have is this UBlockOrigin rule:

## e.g. highlight users: "tetris11" "kambusha" "Macniel"
## 
lemmy.ml##a[href*="tetris11"],a[href*="kambusha"],a[href*="Macniel"]:style(background-color: yellow !important; outline: 2px solid red !important;)

Which seems to work, but it's very cumbersome to write out rules like that

 
 

Alright, so how exactly was the Hellfish treasure buried, who setup the statue with the light, who kept the statue powered and tuned to the exact coordinates of the treasure, and - most importantly - who was sending the letters?

 

I have the following kernels installed:

  • linux-zen (Zen)
  • linux-rt (RealTime)
  • linux-hardened (Security Hardened)
  • linux-lts (Long Term Support)
  • linux-tr-lts (Realtime LTS)

When I boot up, I try the different kernels from time to time just to see if anything interesting happens. It never does.

My question: How do I actually physically notice the difference between these kernels? If I use RT, does Firefox spawn quicker (in my testing, no, not really)?

What are some use cases when I can really see the difference in these kernels?

 

For example, Marmite Crumpets don't exist. You cannot buy them at the supermarket. To be clear: you can buy crumpets, you can buy marmite, you can buy butter; but you have to assemble them at home.

If you walk into a breakfast cafe, they will happily serve you sausage / egg / bacon / french toast / bubble / squeak (whatever that is). But no marmite crumpets. If you ask them to make it, they will give you a very strange look. It's not typically offered. It's something you just have to make at home.

It is unbuyable. Any tourist who comes to the UK to try a Marmite crumpet would need to bring a toaster or an oven with them, or quickly befriend a brit and hope that they have all the ingredients at home.

It's not a secret. You just can't have it.

*munches into crumpet thoughtfully, and salivates at the juicy savory delight, whilst staring at you pityingly and condescendingly*

Anyway, what's something that I could never experience unless I made it myself in your local?

Dust. (lemmy.ml)
submitted 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

I really want to buy a printer (resin or filament), but I'm concerned about the health aspects concerning inhaling the dust.

Is it really safe to have a printer indoors? Should I rig up something on my balcony instead? What room do you have yours in?

How do you guys deal with the dust? Do enclosures work? Any complaints from family members?

You can run ELF binary apps directly from an SD card without restarting or flashing the ROM. There's an SDK for building these apps, but I haven't made an official release yet.
