You’re about to board an 18 hour flight. Where do you sit?
  • My order descending in preference: 3. Creed is crazy and fun to listen to as well as Kevin. Just have to keep an eye on my wallet and hope Creed doesn't smell too bad. The smell is the biggest risk I think. 9. Others hate Toby but he's alright honestly, albeit awkward. Basically what many of my friends have been. Just have to work about him being too awkward which isn't too bad. 5. Stanly is quiet while I usually am not. Only reason Stanley is below Toby is because Toby would be more open to talking. Regardless, minding my own business around stanly isn't bad. 4. This is the start of potentially bad seats. Angela may be quiet because she don't like Pam, or talk about God/cats to An annoying extent. Pam may try to talk or be quiet because she's worried about Angela's judginess. This may feel tense or even get arfumentative.

    1. Jim and Dwight are funny to watch when you can remove yourself from the situation, not while sitting with them. If I'm lucky, they will leave each other alone. If I'm not, Jim will annoy Dwight, and/or Dwight will be annoying as well.
    2. Andy and Gabe will be telling crazy stories, fighting with each other, and being dumb the whole home I bet. Very annoying.
    3. Kelly will not shut up. It will be pretty annoying. Ryan would maybe talk to me about investing or be elitist about some tech stuff. From 4 to here, these are all groups of people I would be annoyed with and would prefer not to sit with. Next though are the groups that are way worse
    4. Jan and Michael would be bickering and trying to bring Oscar and mimme into to join sides.maybe throwing stuff or intentional spilling of things . 6 Vance and Phylis seem like they would get way too touchy in a way that they don't care who sees. I think it's worse than dealing with Jan and Michael.
  • Biden Told Ally That He Is Weighing Whether to Continue in the Race
  • If He steps side and the next D loses, it would also be biden's fault for throwing away his encumbancy advantage.

    Remember, whoever gets chosen to replace Biden, even if it were Ronald Reagan, or mitt Romney, Trump and company will say they are even more liberal than Biden and will take away guns, force all women to get post 9 month abortions etc. And Maga, conservatives will believe it since there's no evidence to the contrary. With Biden, he hasn't fine those things these past 4 years. He's Only "done a bag job"

    I feel like Biden is in a difficult situation and voters are partially to blame for electing Biden in 2020 over another younger/healthier candidate (i voted Bernie who is old, but seems healthier than Biden in some ways).

  • What's stopping him?
  • For real. Biden could seemingly imprison some republicans from both chambers of Congress, and secure a majority in both chambers. From there have congress pass legislation making felons incapable of running for office, and also allowing for all actions a president does liable to prosecution.

  • PC sometimes won't turn on until I unplug it from the wall for a 30 seconds or so. Faulty PSU?
  • You can probably do a "paper clip" test to help you confirm its the PSU and nothing else. Basically removing the PSU and connecting a paperclip to specific pins on the PSU to act like an "ON" button.

    But based on the symptoms you've indicated, it does sound like a PSU problem. Nollij's idea of buying another PSU that would allow you to return it sounds like another good solution/test.

  • Airplane canopy opens mid-flight
  • Anybody with experience want to talk about how/why this happened? Seems like part of the problem was the small opening on the right side of the plane. But I imagine its should be designed to not break so easily considering the use case. In addition, I'm surprised the canopy would open instead of staying locked. Good thing this pilot didn't panic and was experienced enough to still safely land the plane.

  • Clear existing data
  • Not that I know of no. Maybe installing the game from source could do it. So you want the be able to unlock the badges and classes again? Out of curiosity, do you have all the badges unlocked?

  • 16 Nobel prize-winning economists see a Trump inflation bomb
  • I tried to look for something like this happening before and don't see anything. Maybe it's my bad searching skills, but this is definitely not great for Trump's plans. Not certain how convincing it is politically though.

  • Dr Disrespect fired by the game studio he co-founded: 'It is our duty to act with dignity on behalf of all individuals involved'
  • NVM found it. Damn doc is getting lamer the more you learn about him. https://www.ggrecon.com/articles/dr-disrespect-calls-out-bethesda-over-starfield-pronouns/ Basically, Starfield mentions your pronoun after character creation and mentions that you can change your pronoun if you like. Doc then looks up someone from Starfield or something looking for their pronouns in the company website. He then says "Its all starting to make sense" in such a way that shows his disapproval of that option being in the game.

    Its not some crazy event, but it just adds another thing to a pile of things that show he's kind of a crappy person. Starfield had mentioned they didn't want to partner with him due to the previous twitch controversy, I feel his continued actions (getting pissy over this option, that he could completely ignore) really proves Starfield's decision was a good one.

    Is there a way switch all keyboard shortcuts from Ubuntu to be the same as MacOS?
  • I'm not the most experienced with Ubuntu, but the way that comes to mind is setting up shortcuts manually to try to match MacOS. It would be a bit tedious honestly. I'm hoping somebody comes along and knows of a library that already does that.

  • Death toll rises to 20 after gunmen attack Russia's Dagestan
  • Holy shit that's crazy. 45 15 police officers were killed too. I bring up this number in particular because usually, attacks like this, have people heavily armed against unarmed people. They usually get dispatched pretty quickly when they encounter any sort of armed resistance (police, or people with guns), but to see that they still were able to kill 45 police is crazy.

    Volaris website not working for others on linux?

    For a while now, I've been unable to actually view the Volaris website while using Ubuntu 22.04 (In a previous version I believe as well). I've tried Brave, Firefox, and Chrome with the same results so I don't believe its browser specific (as most people use one of those 3 web browsers), which leads me to believe its Linux specific (as I doubt Volaris' website has been broken like this for over 2 years now).

    The website seems to load some background images, but then it stops loading. I'm basically unable to interact with the website in any way. Sometimes I'll get a captcha to even access the website. The workaround that I have found was actually going into the inspector and refreshing. This make the website function again while the inspector is open.

    Any ideas or suggestions?

    www.kqed.org Impact of California Fast Food Worker Wage Increase Still Too Early to Gauge | KQED

    A month after most California fast food workers started earning at least $20 an hour, economists say it’s too early to determine industry impact. While some workers report improved quality of life, others see cuts in work hours and less income as employers adjust to more expensive payroll.

    Impact of California Fast Food Worker Wage Increase Still Too Early to Gauge | KQED

    I’m glad this was passed. Only worry I have is that the the corporations will have the money to take a hit in California. Keep the amount of money they siphon from CA high, translating to higher costs to the CA businesses and, despite the fact that more of their businesses will struggle, use that as evidence that this law should be repealed.

    Should I offer a more narrow salary expectation if the job listing already has a range?

    I'm doing interviews, and I wanted to get an idea of what other people are doing. Say a position offers a pay range between 50-65k. In my interview with HR (first interview), should I try to provide a more narrow range? for instance, " Based on my skills and experience, I'd expect a range between 56-60k" Or should I just tell them the range offered is good for me and let them actually provide an offer? This is of course assumes the entire range is acceptable to me. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    As the Drug Enforcement Administration takes steps to move marijuana from a Schedule I drug to Schedule III, we examine how California's cannabis industry could be affected.

    How The DEA's New Marijuana Classification Could Affect California's Cannabis Industry

    A bigger “tax break” (in the form of allowing these businesses to actually deduct expenses like other legitimate businesses) for these dispensaries should mean cheaper products, less struggling businesses and also less black market marijuana.

    Better Clarity on Hidden Rooms -ShatteredPD

    I feel like hidden rooms aren't very transparently shown in the game. Currently there are usually 2-3 hidden rooms in each area, with an additional hidden room for every floor that has "many secrets". This is all totally fine, except that its sort of hard to identify them, even as someone that's rather familiar with what they are. By identify, I don't mean to search for them, but to actually identify whether a room is a hidden room or not.

    My suggestion would be that all hidden rooms share some kind of identifier. some suggestions would be:

    • uniquely colored door that, even if burned, has a different color so you'll always know that was an entrance to a hidden room

    • Uniquely colored flooring

    • Uniquely colored walls

    • Indications in the logs when you step into an area or floor ("you have found 1 of 2 or 3 hidden rooms in this area" "There is one discovered hidden room on this floor")

    Hidden rooms can affect your rankings score so allows for easier ways to track that would be welcomed.

    What are your opinions?
