Does it use embedded lyrics or insist on using the internet?
Secondarily, does it offer any of the more useful tagging controls and library management features?
I keep looking for a Linux native player that can get close to musicbee. Haven’t found one yet, they all lack major features like batch file renaming and organization.
Yeah, pretty welcoming community even for total non fans. That’s been most trek related places in my experience. There’s always jerks in any population, but even the trekker jerks are less jerky, if that makes sense.
It always makes me giggle when I run across people in Klingon dress and makeup, and they’re the most helpful, friendly people. I’ve run across those folks at renaissance festivals, comic cons, and at gas stations.
That sense of open arms is really strong here in particular :)
I mean, I’m a dad, immature, needlessly sexual, and laugh at almost everything here despite not being a true trekker or trekkie. Take from that what you will :)
Cooking breakfast? Probably not as hot as you’d think. I can fry up some eggs and a couple pieces of sausage and the handle doesn’t get hot enough to cause pain, much less injury. It’s hot, it isn’t comfortable, but it’s largely a matter of perception vs reality once you’re aware of what level of heat can cause burns.
Now, if I’m frying bacon in a big batch, I’m using something to protect my hand when I move the pan because it hurts, and prolonged contact can give a 1st degree burn in a few seconds, way less than the time it takes to drain grease or move the pan to the sink.
But truth? If your pan is hot enough to cause a 2nd degree burn, you’re either running too hot, or you aren’t using the range; you’re putting it in the oven. Anything over about 350 on a hob is too hot for practical use, and that includes searing meats. Yeah, you can go higher for something like a blue or rare steak, but you’d still be better off with a slightly lower temp and that with either a “reverse” sear, or finishing in the oven. You get more even cooking like that.
Meats where you need well done? You’ll end up with a tough exterior rather than that lovely Maillard browning and a tender interior. And anything other than meat will come out poorly over about 350 in a pan. Unless you like burnt exteriors and barely cooked interiors of things.
And at that temp range, you can easily pick up the handle for a second or two without insulation, as long as it hasn’t been in an oven so that the handle hasn’t had a chance to radiate any heat at all. You won’t want to stand there fucking around, it’ll be painful after a few seconds, but you won’t get injured, and it’s a level of pain that’s tolerable if necessary.
Which, it’s pretty obvious that this pan in the image wasn’t hot at all, but that’s a separate issue from the comment section debate about cast iron’s properties.
That was inevitable. It’s why I never use anything that can be compelled. Make the fuckers work for it in the event the government turns you into a criminal by passing a shitty law.
Could also be an urban vs suburban vs rural thing as well. Out here in the sticks, there’s less pressure into crime and violence because there’s less infrastructure for it via gangs, fences, and less access to weaponry without education in their use. That last isn’t as off as it seems, btw; when you get drummed in that guns are for hunting as their primary use, you tend to think of them as tools for that first, with other uses secondary. Knives aren’t much different because rural kids have often seen them used on game, so they don’t have that disconnect about exactly how dangerous they can be.
But we do have our share of crime, with teenagers included as both victims and perpetrators. It just tends to be more drug abuse, drunk stupidity, and non-weapon related violence for stupidity. Less armed robbery among the younger folks for sure, and I don’t think there’s been a car jacking in the entire county this year.
But, I actually factored that kind of thing into my opinion. I have family in cities, so I get news and second hand info from denser populations. I think you hit the nail on the head with your closing sentence. The kids that the system, that society doesn’t catch in safety end up sucked into the worst parts of human behavior because they can’t see a way out. They end up living with crime and violence, so they see it as a primary option for survival, and with a poor safety net, a better option.
I really only see it prominently in kids though. Not even a majority, but way more than I saw when I was a kid.
I genuinely believe that the current batch of kids born since 2k have a chance of making a better world. They’ve got their peculiarities, but I see way more empathy and expressions of wanting to be better.
Not that there aren’t assholes in that age group too, but they seem to be less severe and less catered to.
Homie needs to stfu and realize that he’s the middleman in a proxy war and stop saying stupid shit in public that could damage his ability to do his job.
Too far gone at this point. It sucks, but every drive has an end of life. After that point, no matter how many hoops you jump through, they’re read only until they quit entirely. I think that’s where you are now, so even if there’s something in the thread that works to get it back to being able to write to it, you should consider what you get on there as read only, and maybe that only is “only once”.
