thurstylark,

Pro tip: configure a font that doesn’t show open circles for unused braille characters to have a higher priority than your current font to get better-looking graphs.

On my system, braille characters are provided by DejaVu Serif, and it was as easy as just installing the font.

thurstylark,

No, you’ve got it set up right. Many people will have graphs where each character rectangle has open circles for the unused braile dots in the character block.

Here’s an example.

thurstylark,

I’ve had issues with family link staying linked on a steam deck with zero hardware changes, so it could be unrelated to your hardware changes fwiw.

thurstylark,

Anything can be printed with enough heat.

thurstylark,

You see that ludicrous display last night??

thurstylark,

The W bar is extremely low for this particular individual…

thurstylark,

I’m definitely not discounting the fact that this one W point is a drop in the bucket in comparison to the flood of L points he’a got lol

Dude’s a grade-A dirtbag. Glad he’s nice to his doggo, but still a trash human.

“Genuine anteater,”

The pet man told my dad.

Turned out, it was an aunt eater,

And now my uncle’s mad!

thurstylark,

Had a similar moment, but refused to work on the basis of safety, and don’t regret it one bit. Installing speakers on poles for a rooftop bar 20 stories up, and we needed 6-foot ladders to reach the mount. Boss said do the thing, I said you can fuck all the way off until I’m in a harness. Boss didn’t want to wait for the harness that was already on its way, and did it himself.

He knew he’d be turbofucked if it took longer than his boss thought it would take because he didn’t think to bring a harness in the first place, and even more turbofucked if it came to light that he requested we work without it, so he just did it himself to save his own ass. It doesn’t matter if he survived, he was a stupid idiot for stepping one rung up on that ladder without a harness.

For reference, this is the same dude who said that driving 17 hours in a van to a job site was just the same as sitting on the couch at home, so we should feel lucky that we’re getting paid for it. He was not a smart man.

thurstylark,

Here ya go

Discussion and suggestions welcome :)

thurstylark,

My uncle missed Thanksgiving 2019 because he was in an Arkansas hospital for “untreatable viral pneumonia” and the various complications that came with it. Shit was fucking everywhere already by then.

thurstylark,

It’s a song by Bo Burnham from his Netflix special “Inside”, so it’s good enough for them to stream :P

thurstylark,

Those subtitles make it a little bit better at least…

thurstylark,

sed or awk might get you there, but something like jq which is meant for json might be a bit more ideal depending on your use-case.

18+ let's talk about sex, please (nsfw?)

Hey y’all. so today i finally got my vyvanse/elvanse and i’m gonna start tomorrow. I specifically asked my doctor about sexual side effects and she said that it’s well known to be relatively harmless in that regard. now I read the side effects and it says that erectile dysfunction and change of sex drive are “common: 1...

thurstylark,

Well, before talking about meds, remember that all bodies are unique, some side effects will affect people in different levels, TL;DR: YMMV, etc, etc…

I saw no negative sexual side effects on vyvanse. In fact, if there were any effects related to sex, it was that I could actually avoid distraction while there is an obviously important person to pay attention to.

thurstylark,

This isn’t about that specifically, but the gist of it is that they basically got a one-of-a kind prototype GPU water block from a boutique startup to review, and instead of reviewing it with the correct model GPU and sending it back as requested, they did their review on the wrong card, concluded it was crap, and then sold it at auction during their convention.

thurstylark,

Same here

thurstylark,

He’s also got to be some non-zero percentage of cream corn at this point, right?

thurstylark,

Hey, I live in Fucksville, and it’s actually a nice purty place!

We do still have Industrial Pollution Dr, tho…

Also worth mentioning: if you fuck up the door trying to get into it,

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FIX A GARAGE DOOR YOURSELF!

Light percussive maintenance to bend a panel back into shape is one thing, but never ever try to take one apart if you aren’t qualified. There are dangerous springs under tension that can and will kill you.

Get a professional

thurstylark,

As far as I’m concerned, not knowing the difference falls under the “not qualified” part of my earlier statement.

You happen to know what you’ve got, and what you’re doing? Go for it. More power to you.

Any shadow of doubt? Put the tools down, get someone who knows what they’re doing.

thurstylark,

readline vim mode would like to have a word…

thurstylark,

Yeah, KeePassXC + SyncThing all day every day. Can’t in good conscience trust someone else with my sensitive data, even if I encrypt it before it gets to their servers. My database is keys-to-the-kingdom level shit.
