A lesbian couple was brutally beaten by group of men in Halifax. Police still haven't filed charges
  • I work with middle eastern guys who are like this, they hide this side of themselves when I'm around (white guy) but it comes out when my female coworkers are alone. It's common enough that I've heard about it from multiple people. But when I'm around they're great and I consider them good work friends.

  • To those of you who drink tea: What brand of tea do you drink?
  • I like their double bergamot earl grey

  • what's your favorite hydration drink? bonus points if it's a drink mix
  • I made it last night, used half molasses half maple syrup. But the recipe I tried used lemon and I didn't like the resulting flavour. Also the ginger we had wasn't as fresh as I would have liked. I'll try it again using a more traditional recipe.

  • Grab the rom for whichever Texas Instruments calculator you like best and use one of the various TI8X emulators:

    Just google for the rom file you want. I just tried the TI92+ found here:

    Weird calculator, but one of the more common TI models should look just as nice

  • Any advice for a long-time Linux user, first-time Linux *desktop* user?
  • Yes yes, vim good, nano bad. And rather than have discourse on the matter I'll call you all fascists and claim you support genocide. Definitely an adult thing to do, good job you.

  • Katherine Knight: An Australian woman who, in 2000, murdered, skinned, dismembered and cooked her husband, and attempted to feed him to his adult sons
  • He told his coworkers and neighbor that if they didn't see him tomorrow he'd been murdered. So when he didn't show up for work they sent someone to check on him, the neighbour and the employee knocked on his window, then approached the front door and found blood so they called the police. The table had been set, for the kids. They never saw it.

  • Nothing, there is nothing wrong with nano. There are what I will call vim purists who think using anything but vim is sacrilege. I've been using nano, and it's predecessor Pico forever and while I can use vim if I need to, I don't hate myself enough to do so.

  • Stock Buybacks
  • He was first and foremost an actor, so it makes sense.

  • Mozilla Firefox Adds AI-Powered RTX Video
  • Nvidia, wayland issues aside is still the superior card 9/10 times. This isn't a gimmick to get people to buy Nvidia, most of us will buy it anyway. During my last purchase as I pondered over whether I should get an amd and move over to wayland or an Nvidia card that would allow me to locally generate images of whatever I wanted. It was a pretty easy decision, I'll stick to X11 and Nvidia until the end. Stuff like this is just a bonus

  • Not sure if antique or prehistoric
  • Interesting fact, this baby was everywhere because it came with 3D Studio Max. It was included as a demo model alongside a cartoony ogre and a velociraptor.

    The animation was also included to demo their Character Studio animation and motion capture capabilities.

  • Wayland usage has overtaken X11
  • Dunno, I used to run 3 monitors until I got an ultra wide, now I'm down to 2. Never had any issues getting the displays to work in either. It was mostly graphical glitches and screen tearing that drove me back to X11.

  • Wayland usage has overtaken X11
  • He's only the second person I've seen to claim working dual monitor on wayland with Nvidia. All my attempts have lasted 5 mins max before something drove me back to X11.

  • Here is what 6 decommissioned servers looks like. My Jellyfin will be very happy
  • eWaste. We have a contract to give an outside company all our stuff. We degauss and shred hard drives and everything else does in a big bin that they pickup every month.

  • Say the truth, Arrowhead!
  • They were the WF-500's. I have a high end pair of Bose earbuds for music, but for audiobooks at work I just wanted something decent. What really got me to return them is I couldn't use them single ear and have controls. Bought some Monster brand Chinese earbuds for dirt cheap, it's my third pair from this brand and for the most part I get a good 18 months out of them before they have connection issues or the battery doesn't last.

  • Say the truth, Arrowhead!
  • I bought Sony Bluetooth earbuds recently, out of the box they wouldn't connect. You have to download an app, and agree to their EULA which is essentially "Were gonna steal data about everything you listen to" before you can connect to them via Bluetooth. Returned them the same day. Fuck Sony.

  • MO2 works amazing with proton, even with an excessive amount of mods
  • Found this last week, makes running external programs much easier.

  • Can’t stand it when they do that
  • I used to know where every single thing I wanted in Walmart was. In and out very fast. Then they put up signs saying they're remodeling and they moved entire sections, then moved those same sections to completely different parts of the store within a few months, then they put everything behind locked cabinets so I have to wait around for an associate to unlock a cabinet everytime I need shaving cream. Who the fuck is stealing shaving cream. Now I shop on the app and do pickup because who the fuck has time for that shit

  • Ripping Podcasts

    So lately I've been seeing shorts on YT about a D&D podcast that looks mildly interesting and I'm running out of good webnovels to listen to with TTS at work. So I thought I would give podcasts a shot...

    They have instream ads... And it's the same damn ad on repeat Not the same ad, that was a Conan podcast I listened to in the past, but still it's like 4 ads in a row. Is there a tool to download these podcasts and strip their ads? I just read that there's a way to download them via rss so that's what I'm going to try now. But manual ad removal might get tedious over a hundred episodes.

    I can't imagine with all the nerd centric podcasts that we wouldn't have automated a way to extract ads by this point.

    Edit: At this point, trying a number of things. yt-dlp seems to be the best way to do it. If the podcast is available on YouTube someone most likely has already submitted SponsorBlock segments for it. You can then use yt-dlp to download the episode or the whole playlist using this command: ```

    yt-dlp --sponsorblock-remove all --ignore-errors --format bestaudio --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 --audio-quality 192K --output "%(title)s.%(ext)s" --yes-playlist 'PLAYLIST URL'

    ``` You can even run it directly in Termux on your Android phone and skip sponsors on the go.
