“less often discussed is TikTok’s power to radically distort the world-picture that America’s young people encounter” LMAO they really do hate competition, don’t they?
All my windows snap like that, I don’t know what you’re talking about. Just go to System Settings, search for snap, go to Window Behavior, click on Movement tab at the top. You can configure your window snapping preferences here.
For me I would say “The Expanse” is a huge one. If there was ever a self made family, the crew of the Rocinante is one of the best. The amount of time they spend together and how they congeal into life long partners and friends in the face of some truly awful events is really inspiring to me.
I’ve posted about this last year. However, during this time they’ve managed to keep it up and have risen their salaries. The article is an interesting read that goes about their reasoning for paying everyone the same salary....
With all the hormones and whatnot inside. Dopamine, adrenaline, melatonin, whatever. Also, there’s this Hunter S. Thompson bit on the… pineal gland?...
I guess not because in my attempts to get this working I did put a script there. Does * expansion not work in these scripts? Mind sharing your script if you still have one? I have 3 tabs open to learn systemd when I have time, I did watch a video so far :)
hi, i was interested if perl is still relevant in this day and age. Perl has been on the decline for a very long time now. Perl 6 (now named 'raku) not being backwards compatible with perl 5 code made the already small perl community even smaller by splitting it in half. A good example is lisp with it’s thousands of different...
It seems like every shower has its own unique way of controlling water temperature and pressure. Of all the showers I’ve ever used, no two of which have ever been alike, I like my controls the least. Plus the faucet has started dripping lately....
This kind of shower controls are the best. I had this on my shower but right now my place is gutted for a remodel. I really want to get the same exact kind that you have. It’s super convenient because you set the temperature once and then adjust the pressure separately. You don’t have to constantly tune it to the right temperature with every shower.
Good morning everyone. I’ve got the age old question of what distro should I use. I got started with Ubuntu and eventually moved to Linux Mint Cinnamon. I’m pretty happy with using it as a daily driver, and it’s worked reasonably well with my NVIDIA graphics card. I enjoy a bit of the “it just works” I’ve experienced...
How long do you hold the smoke in your lungs? Does it change depending on what sort of mechanism for smoking you use? Do you believe in the old adage, “if you don’t cough, you don’t get off”? Tell me about your breathing habits when smoking.
I used to do this too and hold my breath for like 45 seconds per hit. I felt really stupid after reading that it’s absorbed instantly, I had been doing this for years lol
I smoke weed alot out of a bong but have been getting frustrated with how much I have to clean it. I also notice that I use a lot of my supply and was wondering how much weed the Volcano saves you? TIA!
Oh dude, this is my time to shine, please listen to my story. I bought my volcano about 18 years ago after watching this really stupid TV show that had a segment about the best way to get stoned. They said something like joints get you 25-35% of the THC, bongs are 55-65%, vaporizers are 85-95%. I said shit, I’m not giving up smoking weed any time soon so I might as well invest in my future. I bought it for like $450 at a sketchy open market in LA. I parked the Porsche I was driving behind a bunch of men in cowboy clothes drinking beer on their pickup truck in the middle of the day. Everyone was super nice and my car still had all 4 wheels when I returned.
The Volcano is fucking great. You can see how strong your dose is going to be, there’s no smoke, it cools down in the bag, it never irritates my throat, and when smoking with people everyone gets to hit fresh greens from the bag. The thing is built by the Germans so it’s a fucking tank, and not the kind that freeze up in the Russian winter. In the 18 years I’ve had it, the only thing that broke is the air switch that was easily and cheaply replaced and one screw rattled out and disappeared.
As for efficiency, I bought a large ziplock bag full of weed in February of 2018. After sharing a lot with friends, I finally ran out like 2 months ago. For those too stoned to do the math, my volcano made my bag of weed last for over 5 fucking years. I would easily make 1 bowl last about a week before packing a new one, smoking once every day.
I can’t recommend the Volcano enough. The only downside is that it’s not portable and you have to wait 6 minutes for it to heat up, but that’s never been an issue. I bought the Crafty from Storz & Bickel too and it’s really great for a portable device. Please take my advice. Save up the money and get yourself a Volcano, you won’t regret it!
Opening up a browser to look up commands to copy and paste is a lot easier than looking up registry fixes and mimicking screenshots into GUIs. I fix Windows for a living and the crazy shit I see daily blows my mind. It seems like in Windows I’m doing the same thing multiple times until it (hopefully) works but in Linux the problem is easier to identify and fix.
I can’t upvote you hard enough. I built a new machine in April when it was finally time to get off of Windows 7. I thought I’d try gaming on Linux since I heard it got so much better. Holy shit has it gotten better! In the last 5ish months I’ve only found one game I couldn’t get to run and it was a demo. Starcraft 2, the new System Shock, pretty much everything I throw at it has been great. There’s never been a better time to not have a Windows partition!
However, in a new message posted on their YouTube channel, Bloc says Take-Two has taken down the mod from the Nexus Mods website, and has also had the YouTube video removed. Bloc then chose to remove the mod from the GTA5Mods website to avoid any more issues....
If they took down your video, you can contest it if you’re sure you’re not breaking any rules or doing copyright infringement. I’m pretty sure showing someone’s software in a video isn’t copyright infringement.
I know this has probably been asked before but I am currently using Arch and wondering if my choice is the best for gaming. What are the thoughts from the community?

I remember reading the opposite back in the day, that this is why RMS dislikes the term “open source” and prefers “Free software” as more descriptive. Open source refers to software where you can read the source, but the license it’s under does not necessarily gaurantee freedom to the user.

I have a Pixel now, it’s pretty great. I used to manage Samsungs for work and I absolutely hated them. Samsung tries to replace as much Google stuff with their own crappy stuff. I’ve never touched a Motorola. I now manage iPhones for work so I see all the weird problems they can have too.
With all the current discussion about the threat that Instagram Threads has on the Fediverse and that article about how Google Embrace Extend Extinguished XMPP, I was left very confused, since that was the first time I’ve heard that Gchat supported XMPP or what XMPP actually is, and I’ve had my personal Gmail since beta (no,...
