Oh, dear. No, in most cases people seem to want the prettiest photos possible. Otherwise digital filters wouldn't be so popular.

Ooh, CRT monitor. And that's an odd resolution that it's suggesting. You could try driving it at 1280x1024 at 60Hz. If that doesn't work, try 800x600 at 60Hz, which is the traditional lowest SVGA resolution (picture may be slightly distorted if it really is a 5:4 monitor). If that doesn't work, try the traditional VGA resolution of 640x480 just to get something going. I'd recommend using X as Wayland has probably not been tested very much on hardware this old. And it almost certainly has no clue how to deal with a widescreen resolution or a resolution wider than its "Recommend mode".

(I was still using a 17" CRT with X at 1280x960 up to about five years ago. I had no issues ever.)

Cannabis has potential medical applications in areas like pain management. Tobacco has none that I'm aware of—its only legitimate use is in the ceremonies of some Indigenous peoples.

So, given that one is useful and the other useless, why do you want us to get rid of the useful one?

My guess is that the king has no more agency in this than Cless does. He's a prisoner, somehow.

Or else the person under the "king"'s mask is actually that girl.

I run into the occasional Gitlab-hosted project. Problem is, Gitlab's equally obnoxious in its own way.

People are always unhappy with their daily situation. They've now figured out that Trudeau can't magically fix everything that's wrong with Canada. Of course, Poilievre not only can't fix it but will make it worse, but there are a large number of people who are too dumb to figure that out until their noses have been rubbed in it for a while.

I actually own a D-cell-capable charger (also takes other sizes down to AAA). I guarantee you that it cost a lot more than this—$50 Canadian before the pandemic. So I can understand the attraction of hacking one of the cheaper chargers.

If you want to live in the US that badly, all you have to do is head south, y'know.

If it was Russia, maybe one of the Agat machines? Or an Iskra 1030?

Microsoft has prepackaged VMs that you can use for a short duration without (in my experience) triggering an update cycle. Of course, they're Windows 11 and need VirtualBox, which may not be ideal.

Sodium chloride is usual, because it's the cheapest option even if it isn't the most effective.

The auto-bed leveling on your 3D printer is nice, but it’s not a replacement for manually leveling the bed. Manually level the bed before every print, since taking off your last print from the bed has the tendency to make your bed not level. Then, after manual leveling, do an auto-bed leveling to remove the remaining tiny variations in the bed level

Depends on your printer, I think. Mine is quite happy being leveled only after nozzle changes, and the autolevel is Good Enough.
