So so true. A perfect example is anything on any page of man other than 1 may as well not exist.

I had no idea my insurance is so much. But it is a lot. If I think about it I'll get angry.

You can take defensive driving courses to lower it though.

I've cut out all Trumpers after Jan 6 2021 basically except for maybe my wife's parents. I'm afraid to ask them. All of us have a spoken agreement to not bring up politics because we all have to see each other and don't want to fight. A major caveat to that is that we see them as little as we can though.

Because head rests are not meant to be pillows. They're meant to cushion your head in a wreck and prevent injury from whiplash. I don't know the specifics but that's the gist. They're for safety, not comfort.

Though the one in the image looks particularly wrong lol.

Contact the police and FBI once you are safe. You may very well save lives.

How can they say that when Truth Social is a fork of Mastodon lol

My home church growing up was right leaning and as much as I hate them, I still feel like if I was in OP's shoes it would still be a good bet. To be fair they were more center right than far right but still.

Get off the grid with this one weird trick

[–] JackbyDev 9 points 4 days ago

let's go with your position

This was never a debate, I was just saying that I feel like disguising bombs as everyday, civilian objects is bad. The comment where I even posted that I literally began with "idk dude" to make it clear I wasn't trying to engage in debate about this topic. The only reason I even replied again was because land mines were mentioned in the context of "did you forget" when literally above in this comment chain land mines were already mentioned.

The use of mines as an indiscriminate weapon are already frowned upon,

Did you forget that every "responsible" western power also has an arsenal of anti-personnel and anti-vehicle mines which are specifically meant to be hidden and disguised?

No, I didn't forget. Someone even mentioned them in this same comment chain.

Use plain text email (useplaintext.email)
submitted 3 months ago by JackbyDev to c/programming
 

I've been seeing comments about mailing lists. They usually want plaint text emails like these.

 

Someone mentioned they don't know how to use email with git. I remembered this cool website.

 

I have no idea how to title this post. Oh well.

A few years back I worked somewhere that had a large breach. Many practices changed in the wake of it. Developers actually had admin access prior to the change which was very nice. In an effort to restrict access but also let folks do their jobs they deployed some tool that would start all programs that "needed" admin access as an admin. This included cmd for the devs. So every time I opened cmd I had to be careful not to break something since there was no way to launch it without admin access after that change.

Sun Clock (sunclock.net)

(I did not make this project.)

I love this website. It helps me visualize time with regards to the sun very well. If I could get my FitBit to display this as a clock face I definitely would. It's such a beautifully simple site.

I'm sharing it in honor of the solstice today. It's (roughly) solar noon on the east coast. I think I found this site on Reddit prior to the Lemmy Exodus, so I'd like to share it here for everyone to enjoy. Happy solstice. Happy summer (or winter for our friends in the southern hemisphere).

Also, based on the community info panel I believe this is on topic here, but if there is a better community for "cool site I found" let me know. β€οΈβ˜€οΈ

 

I feel like a case can really make or break a build. Or at least your enjoyment of it. My specs are below, but I sort of picked a case at random. I'm looking for suggestions.

My current build has served me since 2010 and it's time to upgrade the CPU, Motherboard, and case. Everything that can be replaced easily has been and it's really showing it's age. I mention this because it's likely the case I pick will be used for the next ten years of my life!

Stuff I care about

  • Ease of opening for cleaning/assembling. Part of why I don't clean my current on as much as I should is how annoying it is to open.
  • Ease of moving. I'm more interested in handles than weight, but I still don't want something stupidly heavy.
  • Size. I'd prefer something a little too big rather than something a little too small. I don't necessarily want a full tower though. As long as I can get in easily and there is some extra room for the next GPU I'll inevitably buy in the next 10 years I'm good.

Stuff I don't care about

  • Water cooling. I have zero interest in getting custom water cooling. Too much effort for me.
  • Looks. I don't really want some crazy RBG thing, but I also don't specifically need some super minimalist thing either.
  • Price. So, obviously I don't want to waste money, but if I need to splurge a little I'm willing to. Within reason.

I don't get a very detailed error message but it fails and tells me to try reinserting it. I've tried a few times. It fails at different percentages sometimes. Any thoughts or ways to get a more detailed error message? I have Mac and Linux too.

 

I failed the strength check despite being a paladin and using inspiration. I never saw him again even after getting through nearly all of act 2. I've asked this before, maybe even in this community, but no one gave a concrete answer, likely because the game was still new.

 

I used to be confused why "mi nombre es" and "me llamo" seemed to both mean "my name is". I read that "me llamo" really means "I am called" but I guess culturally they use "me llamo" in the same way we use "my name is" even though "mi nombre es" is a more literal translation.

I'm asking because there are a lot of phrases I'm learning that I know how to use but am still confused. If I knew the actual literal translation I would feel more comfortable. Things like "my brother likes basketball" being "A mi hermano le gusta el baloncesto" are confusing. The use of el doesn't confuse me, that's just how it is and I can see past it, we just don't say "I like the basketball" in English. But what is the point of "a" at the start? To? To what? To my brother? I sort of understand le. I'm not sure when to use it, I'm developing an intuitive understanding of when to use me/te/le/nos as opposed to yo/tΓΊ/Γ©l/ella/nosotros but it's still tricky.

So I'm wondering where I can find actually literal translations of these phrases. So many sites seem to use the phrase to mean "translation" (or maybe I'm misunderstanding the term literal translation but I'd think it is as one to one as possible).

 

This thread is frustrating. Everyone seems more interested in nitpicking the specifics of what OP is saying and are ignoring that a forum sends you your password (not an automatically generated one) in an email on registration.
