clockwork_octopus , to nostupidquestions in Do you agree with my unpopular opinion about height in rapier fencing?

I’ll admit I completely missed your parentheses and thought you were talking about the builders of fences, and I was a little confused for a second.

I know nothing about either kinds of fencing, but what you say sounds right

When your children start ordering packages, don’t open them and you’ll never have to worry about this.

Buddahriffic ,

I dunno, opening the package to see that it’s a dildo might give some peace of mind that they won’t be using the produce.

Now I’m wondering what would be an appropriate age to have that awkward “It’s ok if you want to play, it’s just much safer and more sanitary to use toys meant for the purpose rather than improvising with anything that is the right shape” conversation.

ameancow ,

The best story I ever heard about this was a single dad who had to take his teenage daughter to the doctor because she got an infection from inserting a toothbrush handle or something else that wasn’t sanitary, and instead of giving her ANY kind of scolding or negative judgement, he was very loving and helped her laugh it off, and then he just left on her pillow a $100 gift card to Adam & Eve or some other large, commercial, adult site that lets you buy gift cards.

I don’t think it’s appropriate to even suggest an age here, but I think as a parent you will know when it’s time to have the talk/leave the card.

@sanguinepar@lemmy.world avatar

I know nothing about fencing, but I’m 6’6" and I agree with the general point that people overstress the benefits of height and undersell (or underestimate) the disadvantages. That could be in sport, or life generally tbh.

MerchantsOfMisery , to linux in How was your experience using Linux in college?

Big waste of time. Spent too much time troubleshooting to get it working on my laptop before I just said "fuck it" and installed Windows. There was way too much software compatibility issues and I was spending more time troubleshooting than I was studying. I’m sure Linux can work for some students but for me and the field I majored in, Linux is no bueno.

Phlimy , to asklemmy in What are your favorite open-source games?

Teeworlds/DDNet. It has a very simple movement mechanic that is difficult but so satisfying to master, and the skill cap on community maps is crazy

Breakfast at 7, lunch at 12, dinner at 5. This is how I learned the number of vertebrae in A&P.

7 Cervical, 12 thoracic, and 5 lumbar.

flambonkscious ,

That’s awesome

tiredofsametab ,

Yeah, Doc, I'm not sure what's wrong with me, but it seems like I have an early breakfast or a late dinner...

Toes , to technology in Asking for Laptop Recommendation – Offline GPU

Whatever laptop you do choose, make sure it has a fully featured USBC port. So you have the option to use an eGPU.

pixely ,

That’s a ThunderBolt port :)

Toes ,

Thanks to the people responsible for the USB standards, this is a popular misconception.

For example there can be PCIe Tunneling support in USB.

pixely ,

Thanks for the correction. I was definitely out of date, what I said was only true during the USB 3 era.

So this is an optional part of the USB 4 spec, but from what I can tell this is required for PCs shipping with Windows 11 and USB 4 ports. Yes, this seems like more manufactured confusion courtesy of USB IF.

Toes ,

Yeah the standards are a real mess. Even the cables can’t be trusted.

I hope when they do USB 5 all features are mandatory and all the cables are forced to qualify.

There is no way to see in that picture that all tubes have the same volume in them. This could be massively unbalanced.

kolorafa , to asklemmy in What are your favorite open-source games?

Gauguin - Sudoku-like game for Android (on F-Droid)

The instructions are not clear at first so it’s better to start the game a new with lower difficulty.

MedicPigBabySaver , to science_memes in PSA: Libraries

Yes

@jay@mbin.zerojay.com avatar

I thought it was NOT shutting down and is instead turning into 100% a news site only?

nullpotential OP ,
@nullpotential@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Functionally speaking the distinction is negligible. Users won’t be able to download patches from the site, and new patch submissions won’t be accepted.

jay ,
@jay@mbin.zerojay.com avatar

People also used RHDN as a news source to find out about new hacks and translation releases, and it was the best resource for doing that. And it sounds like it still will be going forward, so... I disagree with you on that.

RacoonVegetable , to memes in Private Capital vs Central Planning

Are you really saying that Elon is the reason America doesn’t have high speed rail?

https://reddthat.com/pictrs/image/3246935b-f2df-47f8-8958-a71fdfacf26b.jpeg

LemmyHead ,

Sounds ridiculous to me. If politicians didn’t decide on the rail system because of elon, it’s still a problem caused by the politicians

yogthos OP ,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

I’d say Elon is a symptom of an underlying problem which is relying on private capital to provide infrastructure.

keepcarrot ,

He’s a reason, but not a total one by any stretch

bountygiver ,

he is indeed a part of a problem. Car manufacturers have been quite responsible for dismantling America’s public transportation infrastructure.

antihumanitarian , to linuxmemes in I don't think I'll continue using Arch, btw

I have LTS and zen kernels installed in addition to the default Arch one, that should prevent this yes?

FQQD OP ,

I’m not sure - I had zen and the default kernel and both were inaccessible
