You’re asking them to think. That’s your first mistake.

Trump also wearing an Adidas jacket is a nice touch.

Can confirm. I use Debian on a laptop and it’s great.

I actually have done this in my auto Civic after daily driving my manual Prelude for a while. The good thing is I was only moving about 8 miles an hour when it happened, so it looked weird. Would be kind of cool to have the narrow brake pedal in the Civic lol

But yeah, I’ve been thinking about swapping the auto Civic for a manual Accord of the same vintage.

A fence post driver is so much better than a post hole digger. Just give her a whack whack whack until it’s set. Handling the wire, though…that’s a bitch, especially if it’s barbed. Erecting an electric fence was child’s play, though.

Speaking of abusive owner, I saw a Cybertruck in the wild for the first time today. Pictures and videos don’t do justice to how fucking atrocious those things are.

The fuckin square will have the tiniest bit of motorcycle in it. Like 6 microns worth of clutch lever or some shit. And it’s a total coin flip as to whether the captcha considers that image the motorcycle.

Fuck motorcycles.

Mint and Kubuntu are great for newbies. Ubuntu is also great, but the community hates Ubuntu these days so be ready to get replies criticizing Ubuntu or your choice to use it. It still makes a lot of shit really easy.

That, or cope.

I used Ubuntu for over 10 years. I loved it. But Canonical does have a lot of baggage. Plus, I wanted to go to the source. So that’s why I use Debian. I’d still advise a new user to go for Mint if they loved the Windows UI or Ubuntu if they hated it. If you use and love Mint, I don’t think anyone would criticize you for continuing to use it. If you use and love Ubuntu, I’d say Debian is a very easy next step.

This whole time, I thought their intentions were puree.

I’ll see myself out.

They probably would have left a trail of nuts and bolts behind them. We’d find them pretty quickly.

Pneumonia contracted from two self inflicted gunshots wounds to the back of the lungs. And to think they thought they could get away with it.

I’m late to this, but since you asked…

I do my personal budgets in Excel. There are repetitive tasks that could easily be automated. Mostly just duplicating the worksheet and clearing previous entries. Also, I don’t always remember to add the 45¢ surcharge for paying my water bill with an electronic check.

So I spent a whole weekend learning some surface level VBA and wrote a macro. It asks for a confirmation in case I accidentally fat finger my hot key. It duplicates the active worksheet. It wipes all of my previous budget entries. It asks about when I’m getting paid so it knows what order to put it in the workbook. It asks if there’s an upcoming water bill and, if I answer yes, asks how much, then tacks 45¢ onto that. It asks how much money was in the bank prior to being paid, then how much my wife and I got paid. It asks how much money I plan to spend on gas and groceries. It analyzes how much I have set aside for the mortgage. If there’s nothing and it’s after the 15th of the month, it does the whole thing. If there’s nothing and it’s before the 16th of the month, it sets aside half. If there’s anything there at all, it sets aside the remainder, regardless of today’s date. If the full amount is there, it does nothing. It looks at a section I have set aside for my savings account, totals it, writes the balance forward, and clears the previous entries. It reminds me to set aside money for my credit card payments.

Among other things. It took probably took 30 hours to figure it out and write it. But now, given that I use Excel a lot at work, it’s something I can take to the office.

Since getting my toes wet with VBA, I’ve also taken to some very basic bash scripting for things I want to automate on my computers.

I would hardly run the AC if the hottest it got in summertime in Oklahoma City was 90°F. But last year, we had several instances where it got up to 100 or 105. And the dew point was 70-75 degrees all summer. So your sweat hardly evaporates. I run my AC all day to keep it 80 degrees and swampy indoors.

I would love to redo my whole house’s HVAC system where one smallish central unit cools the kitchen and living room and each of the bedrooms have their own ductless mini split. This is one way to achieve zoning. There’s no reason to cool the entire house to 65 degrees if I’m about to be asleep in the bedroom for the next 8 hours. There’s no reason to try to keep the whole house cool when I’m about to spend my day in my home office. Just cool the room I’m in and leave the rest alone.

I could also do window units, but for some reason, my wife is vehemently opposed to them. Her parents just put window units in all their bedrooms and one in their living room. They don’t use the central unit anymore. They only cool the room they’re in right now, and their power bills went from $400 to $150 in summer. They paid for themselves in one season.

This makes me wonder how many Lemmy users have optical drives. I do.

Don’t forget the soothing splat once it hits the floor from two meters up.

My guy gets high up and projectile vomits to inflict maximum damage lol

I’m sure it’s a soothing place for him but damn, does it make a mess sometimes.

it’s just Cholula so it’s not actually spicy

My mother-in-law would beg to differ lol I’ve had salsa that tastes like dish water that she’s said is too spicy.

spicytuna62, 2 months ago

Lmao no but she takes her steak well done. Then dips that in ketchup. Bugs the shit out of me, but I like her a lot so I just let her “enjoy” her hockey puck however she likes it lol

My in-laws are very kind people, and I love them as much as I love my own parents. Her taste in food is just…questionable, sometimes.

I used to clean the stalls on the weekends for my uncle for some spending money when I was a kid. Great way to make a quick fifty bucks for a couple hours of work. The horses were all chill. They’d leave you alone and let you work. The one pony was a fucking piece of shit. You put him in a different stall or he’d get behind you and bite at your ass cheeks or your arms the whole time. Absolute rat bastard.

He also had a donkey that was the sweetest, neediest guy. He’d follow you along the fence begging for attention. Sometimes, I’d grab a few carrots just for him before heading over.

Perhaps the thing from that time that aged like the finest of wines was “LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE.” Cara was at least a solid decade ahead of her time.

I also grew up in SWOK and I can back up this statement. The whole place is pretty impoverished. Not quite like the southeast, but a lot of small towns that way are really struggling.

The funny thing about this is that they’re designing it to warn of the danger, but humans always have been and always will be curious about the danger. If being dangerous and scary was enough to keep humans away, then nobody would have ever messed with fire. One day, someone will try to dig this stuff up. Maybe they’ll have figured out a way to use it. Maybe not. But they will try because humans are much too smart and stupid for their own good.
