didn’t we all grow up needing to be secretive? is it because of the adage of how ‘everyone thinks women are hot’ so like even straight women would get turned on more by their own moaning?...
There's no common language name for the fat layer under the skin in English. The medical term is most often used which is subcutaneous fat.
Edit: Using "cutaneous" for skin is borrowing straight from Latin which is a little odd. Not because of the Latin, lots of medical and scientific terminology is Latin origin, but because almost every other time we talk about the skin we use the Greek term "dermis".
I’ve not been running it for very long, so I can’t comment in depth. But, installing packages is easy (guix install), updates are quite easy (guix pull && guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm) (but it is an unstable rolling distribution so sometimes updates need to be pushed along with --keep-going if they fail). I’m using EXWM so I can’t really comment on DEs but it has Plasma, Gnome, XFCE and a few others so it can be quite familiar.
A nice thing about updates is that you can very easily roll back to a previous point in GRUB. Whenever you run system reconfigure it puts a new point in that menu.
I haven’t used Flatpak so I can’t comment.
The only thing that might be annoying to some people is the kernel it uses by default. The mainline Linux kernel, which for some reason permits proprietary blobs, is not used. Linux-libre is used, which kicks them out. Which means if you don’t have hardware that has been fully freed, you’ll have problems.
I believe mainline Linux can be installed by changing some things in the system config and adding an extra repository, but it’ll build by source instead (since Guix is a build-from-sourve distribution with transparent binary substitution where they are available). And of course, then you’ll make the de-facto GNU system run proprietary software. Which is certainly an odd thing to do, but if your hardware requires blobs to run then you unfortunately don’t really have much of a choice.
Oh, and that’s another point. You configure pretty much everything in config.scm. Users, kernel arguments, etc.
You can also use the GNU Hurd kernel if you want, but unless you have very specific hardware it won’t work because of the lack of drivers so for most people right now that’s meaningless.
It’s not really a distribution friendly to new users, but I’d love to see it succeed. Maybe I’ll write a nice installer and package manager GUI for it in the future?
Don’t worry, lead isn’t that toxic. It takes a lot more exposure than the occasional handling to get heavy metal poisoning from it. But yes, odd to use lead as a weight (or put a weight in, perhaps it’s a heat-sink?) it’s fairly expensive. It could be a lead alloy which makes it more malleable, though a small peice of pure lead like that I’d expect to be easily bendable, but not compressable like clay.
Metal conducts heat more readily than water. Odd as it may sound, metal stuck into a hot beverage will burn your mouth/lips more readily than the liquid itself.
The 64-year-old businessman also told Real Sports that he has gone to rehab for addiction 15 times
I believe him when he says his hip surgery is the reason he failed the sobriety test. After 15 rehabs, he surely never operated a vehicle while intoxicated. That would defy all odds.
I am trying to get Outer Wilds running on my Debian machine, and the “running” itself was a breeze. It runs perfectly on Lutris. But somehow my controller doesn’t communicate with the game. I did check if it is being picked up at all, and using the jstest-gtk tool, I could see that every input is being registered. Same...
Sorry, I misunderstood. What controller are you using? It seems odd that only jstest is detecting it. I initially needed to use an enviroment variable for my Steel series Stratus duo, but I think that was a layout issue.
Did you see the viral videos of the former state deparment guy who served under five presidents up until and including Obama? He went apeshit on some random middle eastern street food vendor calling him all sorts names, saying 4000 Palestinian dead kids wasn’t enough, and claiming that he’d send his picture to Egyptian authorities so they could “take care of” his family with a big smile on his face.
No idea why he let the mask drop in public now, but there is no way that his extreme convictions weren’t known to his colleagues all these years. I’m actually starting to understand why both the democrats and the republicans seem so oddly in tune with each other on this subject. That guy wasn’t a one-off lunatic, he was just the only one dumb enough to get himself filmed and put on the internet. Every time we get more information from what is being said behind the scenes it really shows.
As I used the word "appears", I am postulating based on how the company is controlled, the non-profit entity, as well as certain statements that board members have made in the past such as Ilya Sutskever (now ex-board??), whose thoughts have likely been influenced by his mentor Geoffrey Hinton who is quoted on 60 Minutes saying the AI is about to be "more intelligent than us". Ilya is known for, beyond his scientific endeavors into AI and his position of Chief Scientist of OpenAI, some odd behavior on his commitment to AI safety though I'm sure his beliefs come from the right place.
There's a lot more to this, for each board member and Sam, but it makes me believe that a large wall was erected in information leading to a paranoid board.
The recovery of the ozone layer — which sits miles above the Earth and protects the planet from ultraviolet radiation — has been celebrated as one of the world’s greatest environmental achievements. But in a new study published Tuesday, some scientists claim it may not be recovering at all, and that the hole may even be...
The odds that we have successfully stopped using ozone depleting things is very low, since there is likely still undiscovered chemistry at play, and we cannot truly monitor global participation in bans for chemicals we have actually confirmed are dangerous.
Fortunately, the mechanisms that make more ozone (lightning, for instance) are still ongoing, so if we identify the new culprits, we can still get ahead of this problem.
Which would be ideal, since losing both the ozone layer and getting a potentially weakened magnetic field simultaneously would make skin cancer rates jump way up, which would suck.

Microsoft exec says OpenAI employees can join with same compensation::Microsoft CTO Kevin Scott offered to match the compensation of OpenAI employees considering a departure from the company.
Call me crazy, but I think Altman provoked the OpenAI non-profit board deliberately so that they would fire him and thus be cut free without legal penalty of that board’s non-profit limitations – along with whatever other contractual obligations he owed OpenAI (if any) – and be able to go straight to Microsoft, followed by whoever wanted to come along with him.
No more binding contractual obligations, no more “non-profit” limitations, the sky is now the only limit to personal and professional profit, and Altman can work directly for OpenAI’s biggest investor. Meanwhile that investor also gets to swallow all the good parts of OpenAI whole, without much more investment than it has already made, certainly not the full selling price OpenAI would command on the free market if it were for sale.
Win/win/win all around for everyone – except the OpenAI non-profit board and its stated goals.
The entire thing seems so perfectly engineered, including Altman taking it to Twitter as soon as the board fired him, and playing the rest of it out in the public eye, with Microsoft becoming his employer less than 48 hours later, that it’s hard to see it as anything else.
Even Satya Nadella (Microsoft CEO) was chiming in on Twitter through the weekend and before Altman was “officially” hired, which is rather odd to me – unless he already had inside knowledge that Altman’s post-directorate legal position with OpenAI would not be threatened by it.
I expect more information will be coming out in the next few weeks that will clear it up one way or another, but today I don’t believe for two seconds that any of this was a surprise to either Altman or Microsoft.
I learned about this many years ago and the difference after I started using only SLS-free toothpaste was night and day. I used to get canker sores any time I would bite the inside of my cheek, hit my gums with the hard parts of my toothbrush, etc., and this completely stopped a while after I switched to SLS-free....
I worked in a job with build scripts. Developers would list what they wanted in a drop-down menu on a website, with very few “fill in the blanks.” This would create a template, which was sanity-checked.
One of the “fill in the blanks” was “home directory of user, if not default /home/username.” Some people filled it in, some didn’t. A lot of “users” might be apps with /home being “/opt/appname” “/var/www/html” or something. We checked to make sure that directory existed, if not, create, and set permissions. Easy peasy, all automated. Ran this lots of times.
Then one day, the script failed. Borked the whole box. Sometimes the VM was corrupt, so delete VM and try again. Usually worked. But this time, the build kept failing. The box went down. Wasn’t even bootable. This happened several times with this one build. So we mounted the borked drive under a new VM and checked out the logs. Just like the dessert stage of Willy Wonka chewing gum, it always failed at the last stage: making /home directories.
It would create them, then halt that it could not find bash. We looked for bash on the bad drive, and it was the usual /bin/bash shortcut to /usr/bin/bash and we were truly puzzled. I did a chroot to the drive and NOTHING worked. It just hung. That was the first clue.
The second was looking through the build script (in bash, which we didn’t write) and checking the steps. Looked it the logs. Always died at creating some user named sapadm, the user for the HANA database. Eventually, I checked the configure file, and noticed it was the only user with the odd home directory “/usr/sap.” Then it hit me: the permissions.
The script, thinking it was a home directory, did a chmod - R 755 for all directories and chmod - R 644 for all files! That meant, while creating home, it made everything under /usr not executable anymore! Holy shit, no wonder nothing worked! So we commented out that user in the config, ran the build again, and we were good! We created the sapadm by hand, and then later fixed the bug in the script.
SANITIZE YOUR DATA. Or you might turn Violet Beauregarde into a blueberry.
It is odd to observe. It’s like the idea of being right or wrong has zero nuance to these people and the only viewpoint is being 100% right about everything but then again, may be I’m wrong about that
The meaning of things tends to get lost over time. There’s no grid involved, just a hit-list of odd challenges for younger/inexperienced crew. Please enjoy this marshmelon.
despite the show emphatically saying that the simulations kept repeatedly failing.
Which I already said is odd because it means their computers aren’t any faster than today’s computers. If Disco was set in 2025, I could understand why they couldn’t simulate protein folding with enough accuracy. But this is set in the future where they can record every atom with such perfection (Heisenberg compensator) that every atom in a person’s DNA is routinely read, transported across thousands of miles and reconstructed perfectly.
The network required a living construct to engage with. I already said there would need to be a physical interface between the computer and the mycelial network.
You’re arguing in bad faith I had already addressed every point that you repeated. The only one ignoring what I wrote is you.
Don’t take Trek so seriously. It’s just a show. It’s ok to point out holes.
I’ve noticed YouTube specifically has become more addictive, I never used to be one to sit and scroll for long durations before but I often catch myself spending way too long on shorts now...
Oddly enough, there’s specific content only available through shorts that I would love to see (Scott Manley in particular does fantastic shorts), however I never see them because the shorts player invariably kills any enjoyment I may have be having at the time.
No matter what content exists on shorts, I will go out of my way to disable shorts altogether. If I could block the URL I would.
When will be your “this is the last fucking time I’m voting for the ‘lesser of two evils’, then I don’t care after that, let this country burn to the ground”? For me, this is basically it. This is last election I’m going for that " lesser of two evils" bullshit. After that I’m done. It’s just pointless. Let’s...
I’m glad you at least made it against such steep odds. For me, it’s just idle wishing-- I’ve got like three disabilities that automatically strike me off the lists of just about every country where I could actually put my skillset and training to use, and not enough money to offset those disabilities. At this point, I’m just rolling along until I either neck myself, or I get shot twice in the back of my head by some settler pig and they file it as a self-frag on my death certificate. Only living out of spite for the world I was born into, really.
Bayer’s Monsanto was ordered to pay more than $1.5 billion Friday over claims its patented weed-killer, Roundup, was linked to users’ cancer, Bloomberg reported....
You accused me of being the exact same as those mentioned in my original comment. You deflected this, despite (1) I make no money. (2) I don’t operate out of some sub. (3) I have literally no horse in this race. And you have zero evidence of any 3 of these actions – which makes your callous accusation odd, and certainly not a story from your past as was my case – and for which others openly corrorborated experiencing for themselves. So “Point out” my priorities all you want, strangely. I don’t particularly take high stock in vacuuous moral judgements from strangers if I’m being honest. I wouldn’t expect that from you either. This brings you no closer to proving I’m a shill equivalent to those whom I and others in this thread experienced.
You may or may not believe what I said, but you either have to accept that within the domain of discourse or you don’t. If you don’t, then we literally have nothing to discuss. You don’t believe me, and that’s fine. But relative to my domain where this is my reality, you couldn’t be further from the truth. Considering your counter-points hinge on taking my story at face-value, you kind of fork yourself.
Moreover there is a clear difference between sharing a personal story and seeing if others relate versus someone who literally goes directly from that to, "I am going to defend X. Here’s my case: " that is also tangential to the original subject-line. Both of these reasons are why they were down-voted and why this isn’t some case of “brigading” as you try to equate it to. Being down-voted isn’t what I really consider “piling on,” much less moving the goalpost from literal “brigading.” Forget the fact that the outcome of this court case in of itself goes counter to their own position they half-heartedly defend.
To be upset that this user was down-voted because they provided an unsubstantiated argument consisting of telling people to drink shit and that “lube” is probably safe just isn’t a compelling argument and in my view is worthless. Again, take it or leave it.
Furthermore I think it’s a little amusing that for the person whom you defend, no sources = okay. For me, no sources = “bad! Shill!” Are you not seeing the double-standard, here? For my original comment you refer to it as an, “empty position,” but they provided… a “weak position” – and yet, you come to their defense and not mine when I already proved the two comments couldn’t be more different? You’re upset that the user is down-voted after mounting a couple-sentence unsourced argument about a considerably complex topic that would take literally thousands upon thousands of words and countless references to legitimately unpack? I mean, Really…?
It’s not my job to coddle others and guide them to the process of sourcing. So if you hide behind the fact that this isn’t “formal” debate, then why do you act like down-votes on a public forum is some atrocity and proof of shilling on its own? Again, a double-standard.
Second Lesson: Don’t seek to “win” the argument out of egoism, but mutually pursue truth, cooperatively.
I freely admit I’m not perfect at this, but it’s all too common. I’ve already been able to admit when I was wrong. I first cast their comment aside as a non-argument, but after review from your response I agreed it was. A poor one, but an argument nonetheless. To your credit you seemed to admit that their argument was poor and unsubstantiated, too.
In my view you seem heavily-fixed on accusing me of hypocrisy. Looking at it from your perspective I guess I could see that on the surface. To me it’s completely different because I’m not linking this thread to bury this user; I’m not using keyword searches; I’m not even brigading the user with gish-gallop of my own as I discussed in my story. I did quite literally nothing I referenced in my original comment.
You are trying very very hard to equate my story with their defense of a position, and therein lies a massive disconnect in your accusation of hypocrisy. This to me is the root of a lot of our differences.
Finally, while you were writing this yesterday, the other user and I pretty much squared our differences, ended on fairly good terms, and they openly agree that it “probably” causes cancer within context of farmers with chronic use.
Third Lesson: End an argument that lives past its usefulness, ideally on the best terms possible.
I don’t see more coming out of this discussion that bears fruit. I’ll oblige you with the last word and go from there. Have a nice day.
