Hmmmm.....I'd never thought of that.....but goddamnit you're right! Guess I'll be telling the wife we need to pump a few out!
Nah, what he means by "traditional family values" is the women folk stay indoors, keep the house, pump out kids til they're a dead shriveled husk, the men get to do whatever they want, sleep around whatever. And if they feel like the wife or kids are talking back they beat the everliving fuck out of em, and that's fine because the wife and kids shouldn't have been talking back to the man of the house....
He's not a hypocrite, he just doesn't mean the same thing you think he is with the words he's using.
My cat has a new obsession: sticking his head out of the cat flap, seeing that it's raining, staying still, coming back in, meowing at me like "Daaad, it's raining" and starting the cycle again.
My cat does this, except he goes all the way out, stands under the one leaky bit of the guttering 3 stories up, comes in soaked, yells until you dry him off and repeats. It's gotten to the point we just lock him in if it's raining. That way he yells about being imprisoned for a few minutes then goes and has a nap until the next meal time.
I'd say mince is the leading edge of processed, not got any additives, but it's certainly not just a cut of meat.
I'd like to get to a point where I am able to do just a little of what I fancy, but if there's snacks in the house I'll eat them. Honestly don't miss crisps or biscuits much, chocolate a bit. When I'm snacky I grab some nuts and home made craisins (raisins from cranberries) usually does the trick.
I've cut pretty much everything more processed than mince from my diet...with the exception of cheese and bacon. Goddamn I miss chocolate......
I got a phone call from my GP yesterday telling me that my cholesterol is up. I'll be trying to hit the gym more, I already eat fairly well, just gotta cut out the extra cheese and bacon 😢
Patently false! They produce money for shareholders, by providing a really shitty way to pay for food.
Yeah, bar progress is sus
They're quite dated now, but Neverwinter Nights 1&2 have a pretty robust multiplayer element.
Best description I could find is from this steam post reply by DrLoboto:
AFAIK, there are three different possibilities to play multiplayer:
- You and your friend play through the official campaign and/or and the first expansion Shadows of Undrentide, or a user-made adventure that specifically allows for multiplayer (not all of them do). The second expansion Hordes of the Underdark might be possible to play through in multiplayer, too, but I heard there are some issues. Of the DLC, I think only Pirates of the Sword Coast and Infinite Dungeons officially support multiplayer.
- You and your friend log onto a so called Persistant World (PW), which is like a mini MMO, an online world created and hosted by users which is usually accessible to everyone, so you might run into and interact with other players. Some of these are more action-oriented with pre-scripted quests, others are strictly roleplay, meaning you are meant to stay in character and not talk about meta stuff while playing. Sometimes administrators may take on the role of NPCs or monsters and entertain you.
- You and your friend either join another group or run your own game in which one of the users assumes the role of a dungeon master, taking control of NPCs and monsters and creating an adventure for the other player(s).
The more common options would be 1. and 2. In those case, you will both control your own character and you can form a party and fight together, but theoretically you can also split up whenever you want to (even while remaining in the same party) and explore on your own. In case 1. one of you will open an online game and host it for the other player to join (anyone who owns NWN can do this, you don't need anything else or any particular knowledge), in case 2. you will both join the server of the according PW team. Note that in case 1. the pre-written adventures will often assume that the NPCs are always talking to the same character as the hero of the story; it's not perfect but it works if you agree that one of you is the main character doing most of the talking for the main quests, or if you can live with the occasional confusion now and then. ;)
Full "It's my first day on linux" step-by-step guide. Everything from updating, setting themes, backups, installing nvidia drivers is in there. All relevant choices are meticulously explained.
Ok.... that's not what you said though? That's a usage guide, not a set up wizard. Sorry for being pedantic, but words mean things, and sometimes if you use the wrong words for things people can get confused by what you're trying to say.
It's the only distro I know with a fully featured setup wizard that holds your hand through the entire process.
Ubuntu, Fedora, Nobara(Fedora fork by GloriousEggroll of proton-ge), Garuda Arch, Pop!OS. Those are just the few I've personally fiddled with.
Highly recommend Garuda, Nobara and Pop!, in that order, for gaming.
Por qué no los dos?
Hope you're able to get something worked out, there's a lot of really beautiful bits of Canada. Have a great time, and be safe!
Could be, and that's what I thought. But I tried that for the 2nd batch, and it still needed an extra 10 mins.
I just don't get how it could have been so wrong. The oven instructions were 190°C for 18-25mins.
Got one that happened just now. Bought some frozen pickle chips from Costco. Cooking instructions for air fryer said 96°C for 7-10 minutes from frozen. Completely wrong. Had to do them at 195°C for 15 minutes for them to be even remotely edible.
Idk if you read through the comments...but the general consensus doesn't really line up as the gotcha you think it is.
Used to be able to get an open rail ticket, looks like that's not a thing anymore? I did find this, but I'm not awake enough to figure out how good a deal it is. Rail is definitely one of the more memorable ways to cross Canada. Can get a trip from Toronto to Vancouver for $1300+ with stops in Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Edmonton, Jasper and Kamloops. That's only a 5 day trip, so you'd have to figure something out for the other weeks.
When did the deck drop? It was the only serious contender until last year, year before maybe?
Year of the gaming handheld has been upon us for a few years now.
So, I have a rpi4b that's currently running a VPN for family abroad. I'm just finishing setting up Ubuntu server 24.04LTS(I have limited number of USB sticks, and the largest is only 8gb, so this choice was one of size, I can go into ones I had considered before) on an old laptop. For my small business I've also bought a domain for a work email, and eventually a website both are/will be hosted externally as I don't want to faff about with securing those aspects on my home network. The VPN though, that is currently pointing to no-ip dns service, and I want to migrate that to both the laptop and my own registered domain. What's best practices here? I do need the VPN to exit through to my network, so that my MiL can watch UK streaming from abroad(TV licence shenanigans).
So I posted a few weeks ago asking for opinions on the Surface Pro 4, trying to decide if I should pick one up and slap Linux on it. Opinions were.....mixed.
I got a decent deal on one, and that's partly why it's taken me so long to post an update. It was cheap because the previous buyer had returned it to the seller claiming that there were power issues. The seller said they hadn't encountered said issues in the hour or so of testing they did, and I call fucking bullshit! Once powered off or restarted it was taking up to 48hrs before it would grace me with booting up. And usable time ranged for 15mins to an hour before system lockup resulting in either a freeze until battery run out, or immediate system shutdown, and another 12-48hrs wait to power it up again. Obviously this is suboptimal.
Part of the issue, possibly unsurprisingly, was windows and the stripped down BIOS. After turning off secure boot, turning off the "battery saver" mode(restricts charging to 50% of total capacity) and scrubbing windows off the drive like a crusty booger...things have improved. I'm still unable to restart the device, restart powers down, but no power up. Wait times to power up again went from probably 36hrs average to 2hrs average, and if I just don't turn it off, the system is stable.
My time with Nobara on the surface has been really enjoyable, everything is just stock, I've not wanted to muck around too much and get attached in case I can't figure out the actual root cause of the power issues. As such, not really much else to report other than Nobara running well, and pretty much everything running as well or better than when windows was installed. Touch functionality works slightly differently in Nobara than Windows, but that's not really a bother for me.
If any of you greybeard wizards has any ideas on what might be happening with the power cycle issues I'd appreciate some suggestions. I think it may be a battery issue, but I'm waiting on a hot air station to be able to open it up and have a proper look at it's guts. Doesn't seem to have anything to do with temps, that was my first thought but that didn't pan out.
Just putting out feelers, anyone here run Linux on a surface pro 4 or 5? What distro did you use, and how did it go?
Edit: I've pulled the trigger on a Surface Pro 4. I'll make a new post in a week with my early impressions, which distro I've gone with, etc etc etc.
I've got OpenVPN running, and the NoIP DUC running, if I setup OpenVPN to use my current IP everything works well, can connect, and more importantly can access the Internet. If I configure it to use my DynDNS through NoIP then it allows my to connect, but I then have no access outside my local network. If I was just trying to access a server that would be fine, but obviously this is supposed to be a VPN.....
I've been making tunes for 20+ years, I'd like to post some somewhere for you people to probably not enjoy much as it's a bit shit.
Track I made a few months ago, and a picture to go with it by one of the AI generative programs.
** Jerboa Version ** 0.0.33 Describe the bug Buttons are missing below inbox rrplies To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: Go to inbox See error
Prior to 0.0.33 there were all the buttons below messages, vote arrows, show context, mark read and reply. Have they been hidden and I just don't know how to show them? Is this a bug? Am I dumb?
EDIT: Added my bug report as embedded post link.
EDIT²: Closing my bug report, solution is to long press on the username area of the message.
0.0.33 update log should mention this. It's a good feature, but frustrating if it's not mentioned in the documentation.
Edit³: I believe that the line in the changelog:
"Comment action bar improvements by @twizmwazin in #453" Refers to what is happening, I'm not entirely sure.
What's everyone reading? I'm on book 10 of the Wheel of Time, and Creatures of Light and Darkness by Alan Dean Foster
The title, also here's a picture of my cat to drive engagement.
