The dumbest part is when the JAG appoints Riker as the...plantiff/prosecutor? And threatens to summarily vote in the plantiff's favor if he refuses to serve in that capacity. "If you don't do anything, you win."

Typically they'll do a major revamp or a clean sheet design of a model, so the 2005 Hoyota Civrolla is a completely new car. The 2006 Civrolla will be available in a few different paint colors and 2 different wheel options. The 2007 model has a different grille so it looks even more like it's smiling while wearing a retainer. The 2008 model has a different washer bottle assembly and the battery tray is now molded plastic instead of stamped steel. The 2008 model is available with a 2.7 liter engine in addition to the 3.6. 2009 they eliminate the base model trim so now they all have power mirrors and cruise control. The 2010 models with CD players can now play mp3s off the CD. 2011 they only sell the 6-speed manual with the 2.7 liter engine, the V6 is only available with an automatic. 2012 they do a major style update, same chassis and running gear, different bodywork and the interior shares more components with the Elamry.

Other than a flip phone in 2005 that died a death I now have the skills to fix, I have never bought a new phone after only one year. I upgraded from an S4 to an S10. The time to flat out reject the yearly release cycle is over a decade old at this point.

My understanding is it's Home Depot but green and only in flyover states.

There's an entire genre of tiktok videos out there of women saying things like "So this guy I like asked me out, and I said no, and he was like okay bye and just walked away. What is with men not pursuing women anymore?"

Hmm what was that hashtag popular a few years ago? #nomeanskeepgoing?

"No means no" they said. Meanwhile in this very thread: "I'm actually in love with the guy that stalked me."

If you want no to mean no, you have to say different things when you mean something other than no. If you want to play hard to get, A) don't, you suck at it and B) maybe let him know that's the game you're playing so he'll actually try hard to get you instead of just taking a flat rejection at face value; ie don't just say "no" say "You'll have to try harder than that" or something that indicates you are open to further attention. What saying "no" when you actually mean "try harder" accomplishes is you filter out the guys who take no for an answer leaving your dating pool only filled with the men who don't really care that much about consent.

As for the "I turned him down becuase I wasn't interested in him, then we actually talked and turned out I actually like the guy" story...I guess maybe try actually talking to guys? Even if you don't cream your gusset at first sight?

Theaters have always been more fun to go to for a movie you actually care about.

I'm not convinced that's true. Clerks and Mall Rats both bombed at the box office but were huge on VHS. I don't know if I'd want to sit in a movie theater and watch Groundhog Day. I don't need "Ned! RYERSON!" bigger than god booming down at me from a 30 foot screen and a 90 gigawatt sound system. Some movies are designed to be watched on a couch with your legs pulled up beside you clutching a cup of hot tea. Or to be laughed at and riffed on with friends. Some movies work best when watched several times, maybe even while doing something else, just listening to the dialog as it plays on the living room television while you're doing the dishes, letting the dialog simmer long and low on your mind's back burner.

I find movies that rely on the spectacle of the big screen and powerful sound system just aren't that interesting. I mean, I saw Transformers in the theater and I haven't wanted to see a movie for its special effects since. "Spectacular" has become a synonym of "noisy" to me. And that's functionally all they make now.

A trailer or two for upcoming films is acceptable. When I used to be a fan of movies, I wanted to be informed of other movies that were potentially interesting to me. 20 years of Comics And Comics Alone have cured me of cinema, so.

To make toast, follow these simple instructions:

  1. partially unplug the power cable from the toaster and pinch its cheeks.

2 plug the cable part of the way in and apply two or three cocktail fork fulls of semen. Place a dish of butter nearby.

3, Plug the cable into the top of the toaster, plug a different cable into the bottom. Insert a slice of bread into one of the slots. Swap the butter for a small dish of ketchup.

4 Swap the ketchup for a jar of duck sauce, fondle the bread.

  1. Swap the jar of duck sauce for a scalpel and the tweezers from a swiss army knife. Tell the bread "Ah c'mon you."

2 Unplug the toaster completely, get a Pez dispenser, and turn the bread...sideways?

  1. Plug the toaster back in, get a different dish of butter, pinch the bread.

  2. Scrape the bread with a fork on a worried tray near a concerned butter knife.

Serve on a plate with losenges, coffee, whippets and coffee.

Lemmy aggressively wants to correct my numbering scheme. Could we just scrap markup formatting entirely on this platform? It fucks up more than it helps.

There are socialized individuals that can be handled by their trainers, but yeah they're not house cats, they haven't spent thousands of years adapting to humans, and they will casually maul you.

Why say "enshittificate" when "enshittify" will do?

 

Walnut and maple., it's an inch and a quarter thick, 12 1/2 inches wide and about 17 inches long. While it is an end grain cutting board I actually built it with kneading dough in mind, I don't intend to cut on this one, not for awhile anyway. Built it this weekend and baked some bread with it today. Which is why my mixer is covered in flour. I'm really happy with this one.

I picture them as an all girl hard rock band with a sound similar to Veruca Salt.

It's the name of a grammatical quirk where unrelated parts of a sentence can be mistaken as a noun phrase. Comes from a headline "Violinist Linked To JAL Crash Blossoms."

 

I'll go first: r/kitty. One of the hundred grillion cat subs back on Reddit, the culture in this one was you posted a cat picture, and the only word allowed in the title or in any comments or replies was "Kitty."

Someone is using that subreddit for covert communications, I just know it. Either on the level of "if u/PM_me_your_nostrils posts an orange cat, we attack at dawn!" or there's some steganography going on with the pictures, but that subreddit was too stupid to be as active as it was.

 

Replacing a broken set of blinds in my house and apparently no one sells the old standard kind where you pull the cord to raise them, I guess because kids and/or pets could tangle in the cord? Bit of an education in miniblinds today.

Greetings buildapc!

I built my current rig during the parts drought during the pandemic or whatever, I scraped together whatever I could find and then stopped keeping up with PC parts for a few years. Looking to build a new rig, PCPartPicker attached, just looking for some double checking for any details I missed.

Use case: Linux and Linux only. It's gonna run some FreeCAD and some LibreOffice and a lot of Firefox and a lot of Satisfactory. I'm trying to build it in time for Satisfactory's launch on September 10, I've heard tell of a Ryzen 7600X3D coming imminently that I don't want to wait for.

I have a Gigabyte M34WQ monitor (1440p ultrawide 144Hz FreeSync) that I'd like to take full advantage of in Unreal engine games like Satisfactory, the upcoming Subnautica 3 and such.

My budget is $1500, I can exceed that but for every $100 over I'm going to read you a vogon poem.

This is to be my first desktop AMD GPU. My current rig (Ryzen 3600/GTX-1080) is Nvidia, it was all I could get my hands on, and the 1080 predates a lot of the whiz bang acronyms like DLSS RTX OMG LOL, I have no idea how well any of that from AMD or Nvidia works in Linux, I don't particularly care about raytracing. Word on the street is AMD is less of a pain in the head to deal with on Linux and Wayland stands a chance of running, so...

thoughts/suggestions/donations?

Update: Sub in a 7700X CPU and a 7900GRE GPU and...IT'S ALIVE:

Everything but the case arrived so I decided to go ahead and test bench it.

 

Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society, I present to you The Tale Of The Cedar Planter Box.

Solid cedar, mortise and tenon joinery, with a nice bead detail on the slats. Garden hose sold separately, pine straw not included.

 

For tweens!

 

I use BackInTime (which is basically a front end for rsync) for backups, and I run one every night at 1 AM. This is on Linux Mint Cinnamon. If the computer is locked/the monitors have gone to sleep (computer isn't suspended), when the backup begins the monitors turn on, and will then stay on all night. I don't want to waste the power or wear out my backlights.

How can I stop it from turning the monitors on, or how can I get it to turn them back off?

I posted this one to [email protected] too, as I do most of my furniture projects, but I'm particularly proud of how this one came out. Solid white oak with genuine mortise-and-tenon joinery.
