is there a simple way to get thunderbird to fetch them from the moment I turn the pc on and give me notifications about it?
Sure. You can autostart Thunderbird and keep it open but I haven’t found a way, where Thunderbird closes/starts to the tray and for some odd reasons the developers seem to think that users do not need this functionality which makes the whole email client unusable for a large part of the potential user base.
I can get the clients to fetch the e-mail atm, the issue is what I wrote above,

No nation in the world is a mono-culture, and often times, people repeat statements they saw specific folk from other cultures make and assume they speak for their entire culture....
I feel like a lot of Americans get some odd sense about how shitty the rest of the world is, based on the self selection bias of those who immigrate here. That’s something I have noticed.
You’re saying gender is a social construct. People who are transgender say they are born with their gender. Being born with something is incompatible with it being a social construct. Since you don’t see a tension here, are you saying gender is a social construct for everyone except transgender folk? In other words, do you think transgender people are the only ones born with their gender? That seems like an odd view to me.
A laptop of that age should not have any trouble with the kinds of things you’re doing, so it’s probably more of a hardware issue than a software one, unless some rogue process is eating up your CPU. You probably don’t need a lightweight distro (unless you prefer to keep things extra-light) and if it’s a hardware issue installing one may not help. So, as others have said here, first check the running processes for anything odd, then repaste it and blow out the dust.
Right, and tungsten rods are dangerous because they don’t slow down and burn up in the atmosphere like most spacecraft do (like you said, spreading out that energy over time and space). As long as you can deorbit them accurately, they are devastating since they convert the entire orbital potential energy into surface kinetic energy all at once. (Oddly, orbital potential energy and surface kinetic energy are the same thing, just from different points of reference.)
So I’ve been hearing the buzz about Linux and gaming and how it’s finally fixed everything and is a perfect replacement for windows. My windows install has definitely accumulated some bloat, so blasting it and trying some Linux for a bit sounds like a solid plan....
I’ve had some weird issues with the Fedora file explorer not liking windows shares in the past. A few things to try: Down at the bottom left, click the “+ other locations”, and where it says “enter server address” I use: smb://perplex.local/mediabay/Perplex is the name of the computer with the share. Mediabay is the shared drive. If I don’t put in the .local, Nada. If I don’t put in the slash, again Nada. Then, it asks me to log in. I put in my username and password, and if I forget to change the domain in the popup from SAMBA to WORKGROUP, again I get nothing. Also, the WORKGROUP has to be in all caps.
Then I hit connect. Then, I can browse. Also, literally everything has to be in the correct case. smb://Perplex.local isn’t the same as smb://perplex.local.
Agreed, it’s a pain. However…! Linux has much choice. The file explorer in Fedora isn’t my favorite. (It’s called nautilus, by the way.) I prefer a file explorer called thunar.
Thunar, for some reason, buries accessing shares in the “Go” menu under “Open Location…”, but seems to work better than nautilus for mounting shares.
Once you have it mounted via Thunar, it just shows up on the list in nautilus as well, and once it’s mounted, I use VLC to play shares all the time with no trouble.
I could get into how to use mount points and stuff, but baby steps… It’s just different. Not ‘ass’, just odd. I’ve been Linux-ing for a few years now, and find myself back in Windows for school, and there’s all kinds of Windows bullshit that makes me want to scream, it’s just that it’s different bullshit than the Linux bullshit.
@actuallyautistic i keep seeing here hyperfixation on being "extremely organised" as a definitely autistic trait, while messy being assigned to adhd and i'm (adult diagnosed) living with a diagnosed in a childhood person and we're messy as hell, especially in combination while neither of us suspect adhd and it's just very annoying to have it as a given here, does anyone share this even?
EDIT: removed ocd organised as it keeps being misread, replaced it with hyperfixation
Well if you zoom out to a macro perspective, perhaps it’s similar a soup, it’s fluid, each ingredient has various properties that seem to contradict and change constantly, and variability of locus. Maybe just our perspective as a part of the soup?
My point is embrace your soup. Get to know what’s in your soup, try soup in different locations. Learn your soup, love your soup,experiment and experience the awe of soup. Just my odd perspective.
This is difficult to explain. I can’t figure out a rule of thumb for spending, the prices of things fluctuate so quickly it’s confusing. Here are some examples...
Dude, you are being way, way too hard on yourself. Here is why:
Your personality doesn’t fully develop until you’re about 26 or 27. This is because of development in your prefrontal cortex
The fitness thing can change relatively easily and yes, it will help you. Not only will it help you dating, but it’ll help your lifestyle in general and you’re overall health.
There are tons of people that are in the same boat as you within your cohort. I realize that of me feel like you’re dating opportunities are over now that you’ve graduated, but this is just a change in your lifestyle.
You are already workinfg on improving yourself which is going to improve your odds on finding someone that you connect with. Your volunteering, you’re doing other things. You are chasing own hobbies and living your life. This also helps
Anecdotally, I was in a very similar position at your age. Spend a pile of time working (300 hr months from June to December; 220ish the rest of the year). I still managed to find the right person and now I’m snuggling our youngest while typing this.
The journey of self improvement is thankless. It sucks. You feel like you’re getting nowhere and everyone is miles out ahead of you. They aren’t, and if they seem like it, it’s because they have made tradeoffs. Comparison ruins our self confidence. Try you best to avoid it. Let what you do on self improvement be because that’s what you want to improve upon because that’s how you envision the best version of yourself.
Self-improvement is also extremely slow. Same with the dating thing. I realize how painfully lonely it can be to be single, but developing a good group of friends will help. Further, you shouldn’t view a potential partner as something necessary to make you happy or complete. You need to be those things before you even think about getting into a relationship; otherwise you’re setting yourself up for disaster and placing unreasonable expectations on said partner.
I could go on, but there’s enough there to encourage you
That’s an odd comparison. It’s more like “is there anyone in that family who isn’t like every other Trump?” They are all pieces of shit. No need to go outside their family to find worse examples.
I’d say watch both videos, Muta’s video is a little more in depth, but it is just odd to hold onto the money for so long. At least they aren’t spending it on nonsensical things, but if they get audited, that will be a big problem with how they filled out their taxes. I’m hoping for the best though, I do like Jirard and I can’t imagine how it is with your parent/family going through that
It’s more than odd, it’s deception. He has been talking to his donators as if the money has been going to charities for years. He has named specific charities that haven’t received a single dime from them.
I watched both of the videos, it sucks. I like him as a YouTuber, but it sounds like they are about to get in a lot of trouble even if the IRS doesn’t do an audit. Very odd they just say on the money, I’m sure they’ll be donating it within the next few weeks
Generically, security cameras are computers in a box that have a good camera, a surprising amount of processing power to deal with the video stream, and an evolving level of ability to do inference. Hikvision is/was effectively the leading networked security/surveillance camera manufacturer on the planet for the combination of price and quality, but it seems odd to blame the company for what is a sort of generic tool at this point - maybe a bad analogy, but it would be like blaming Google for Android devices being everywhere.
I’ve been thinking about something and want to check an assumption I have. I only hear directly from other people in the USA, and interract with the global community through memes. How are the gun regulations/laws different from yours in terms of strictness, and do you wish there was more or less where you live?...
Vietnam. I’ve never seen someone with a gun that wasn’t army, police, or at an Olympic event. Civilians can only own shotguns, and even then under a lot of restrictions. It’s quite uncommon but I’ve heard of companies with rubber plantations out in the middle of nowhere having one gun on site. I’ve only heard of it being used to kill the odd wild boar that accidentally wanders into the office building.
There are some illegal guns from time to time, but not that many. It’s something I’ve only seen on the news.
The current situation suits me just fine – at our population density, I’m not comfortable with gun ownership being widespread. When you put enough people in a small space, there’s always someone angry nearby, always someone celebrating, being born, dying. With everything happening everywhere all at once, adding guns to the mix would not be great, I think.
Also as one of very few immigrants to Vietnam, I am already seen as a target for thieves. People imagine I must be magically very wealthy or something – I’m not. I came here with nothing and built a company, to progress to maybe middle-class. I live in the slums quietly like a normal person.
I would be OK with the police or army running shooting ranges where you could rent a gun to practice target shooting. Maybe that already exists, for all I know. I haven’t really checked. There are archery ranges though, this is good enough for me :D
On the other hand – more or less all citizens are trained to service an assault rifle. The means disassembly, cleaning, maintenance. My wife was fastest in her university class. We just don’t own guns.
I'm glad that I could provide some understanding, I've been learning a lot myself. It was an interesting exercise to sum up the basis for my position in one post since there's a lot going on in this conflict, (I hit the character count limit.)
we can see from your sources Hamas barely won by a small margin.
Hamas and Fatah, a group with its own history of terrorism, combined got 86% of the vote. This combined with the survey linked above paint a clear picture of overwhelming approval of intifada.
Also, you claim instigation on the side of the Palestinians, when Israel was literally made from Palestinian land that the British government was in administration of. I fail to see how they instigated that.
They started off legally buying the land, Most of the early massacres under mandatory Palestine were instigated by Palestinian Arabs. Arab nationalism and xenophobia got the cycle of violence going in earnest, leading to militancy and reprisals and riots, causing the British to conclude that a one-state solution was not viable. Had they not, Israel and Palestine might have been one, a pluralistic state.
The British left, kicking the problem to the UN. Israel declared themselves a nation with the borders the UN created for them, then they immediately had war declared on them by Arab nations all around them on behalf of the Palestinians, who did not like the borders. Israel won against incredible odds, then annexed the lands of those who left. Descendants of Arab Palestinians who stayed are now Israeli citizens, ~20% of the population there.
I have a hard time seeing immigrating somewhere and legally buying the land as cause for violence or as an instigating cause for this long, violent conflict, nor can I fault Israel for annexing the lands of a those who declared war on them and lost.
But it just further proves the situation is a grey area where the only “good sides” are the civilians crushed in conflict.
Indeed. Sadly, in war, civilians usually suffer. At some point both sides are going to have to decide they like peace more than their ideal political goals.
Nah, dude. They’re fucking gay. Your friend’s beagle is horny, not gay. He doesn’t even know that you’re male or female most likely, because you’re not the same species.
But as your culture has thought you to fully embrace LGBT people/culture into your life, mine has told me to not.
Nope. Wrong again. Mine told me it’s wrong too. I just realized that’s stupid. There’s no right or wrong with any of it. Religion is stupid, because there’s thousands of mutually exclusive religions. The odds of you being right are next to zero. Same for beliefs on gender. None of them are probably “correct” (as far as something can be correct on that) so everyone should just be as accepting as possible to other beliefs and let people be happy. There’s nothing to be gained by being an asshole or restricting what other people are allowed to do.
Unless you can give me a reasoned argument why straight people are any more acceptable than others, you should stop trying to restrict what others can do. Straight people have pushed their rules on other people for far too long. (Nature is not an acceptable reason for the argument because, as I’ve pointed out, many animals are not straight naturally.)

This is odd for us but Ferrari has similar contracts.
People may remember how Deadmau5 had to give up on his “Purrari”. He was threatened with a lawsuit by Ferrari who was unhappy with his Nyan cat livery and colors. And this is not a one-off, Ferrari won’t let you paint it in non-Ferrari colors and I believe they have restrictions on who you resell it to.
Deadmau5 replaced the car with a Japanese sports car that was happy for the marketing opportunity.
