I work in I.T. and am interested in every sub-field. I also study English, Spanish, German, French, Koine Greek, Latin, Mandarin & Swahili. I’m interested in human culture.

I like Linux, but mainly use Windows because of work.

Do doggy boots count as shoes? Do socks count? Would a sheep with boots and a cigar be allowed?

It’s an emotional support animal, a programming rubber ducky, and it helps with workouts, since having to run after a sheep burns calories.

I remember the video from the next day and a lot of people were run over. All of the acts of that part of history get conflated in memory. That’s why it’s good to have video and good to have professional historians.

I don’t have a link right now. I literally remember seeing it on the television on the nightly news in the United States.

This isn’t even A.I., no matter what they call it. It’s OCR and an SQLite database. Honestly, they could have done it 25 years ago .

1024_Kibibytes ,

Ah, OK. Thank you! I hadn’t thought of that.

They used to think it was possible with left-handedness.

😲 Biting your child’s hand‽ I’ve never heard of that before.

I think they mean ecclesiastical deed poll.

I was in the 90% range. I tried to find the sun and couldn’t, although someone who was a few miles away said they saw part of it.

What kind of insect is that? I can’t think of anything with that many legs that eats cockroaches.

That was my question about this. It can store a lot of data, great! But will the media last 10 years or more? For real long term storage it needs to last decades.

Thank you! I’ll admit I hadn’t read the article.

I opened the link just to make sure. Yes, that is the entire “article”. There are 3 links below it to pay them.

Exactly! They know their book says “love your neighbor” and care for the widow, the orphan & the stranger, but they don’t even vaguely do anything like that.

I see your point, but tamales are traditionally wrapped in corn husks or banana leaves. The covering is also not baked or fried onto a tamale.

Thank you for explaining that. I was wondering what a post about a vape had to do with this community, especially since it is positive.

Sure, more dancing in the workplace would be nice, but on a desk seems like an OSHA violation. Also, you’d have to move the monitor, keyboard and mouse out of the way.

That is a “Free election betting site” now. It used to be a porn site in the early 2000s.

I’m copying my comment from an earlier thread on the same subject.

Tl:Dr If you want to be less hated, make a good product.

I was asked to set up an HP printer earlier this week. It was connected by a USB cable. It stopped printing after a few pages.

HP wants the end user to download their app to use the printer. The printer also has to be set up using an Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection. I’d already tried to connect it to Wi-Fi using the button on the printer, but it just said “Er” & blinked some other lights. The HP website specifically says that the printer cannot be used with just a USB cable.

I was confident I could have got it to connect to Wi-Fi and downloaded the app, but it was too much of a problem just to be able to print.

I had a Brother printer moved into its place. There haven’t been any other printing issues.

1024_Kibibytes ,

I’m not too surprised at having to use HP software to set it up. The one I was assigned to set up wanted an HP app that requires an account. I’m pretty sure it would also need to be continuously connected to the Internet in order to print. That is utterly ridiculous!

The hookers are likely to be more honest. A congress with Blackjack could be interesting. Okay, I’ll vote for that congress.

You’re correct. The tweet is from March 3rd 2021.

Reboot and see if it still happens. If it does, is it always the same characters that are missing?

A quick search for “Linux missing characters” says it could be the font that you’re using.

Some evangelical sects believe that one of the apostles was transported to heaven without dying, so they believe that that generation has technically not passed away.

What would cause a hard drive's, in an enclosure, filesystem to not mount in PopOs?

Originally posted in the linux community but wanted to expand my results a bit. Hopefully this isnt considered tech support since the problem is already solved and I just want information. (Copy & pasted) Still new to linux hope its ok to ask here. I decided to replace one of my backup drives for the first time in 5ish years...

1024_Kibibytes ,

If you could mount it with the mount command, the drive is likely physically fine. My guess would be that something in PopOS didn’t mount the filesystem correctly. I’m not sure how PopOS handles automatically mounting drives. If it were a drive that was always connected, you could tell PopOS to mount it on every boot by putting the correct line in /etc/fstab

Is there any christian religions that don't believe in space?

So I have a born again christian family member in their mid twenties who stated with complete confidence that there is a dome in the sky called the firmament and beyond it is where heaven is. She believes space doesn’t exist and rockets just blow up because the bible said so. She is not the brightest and normally I would let...

1024_Kibibytes ,

In 6,000 year creationism, some sects believe there was a physical firmament (basically a shell of ice around the earth), but that it fell during Noah’s flood.

American here. Is a bicycle anything like a motorcycle?

1024_Kibibytes ,

Hmmm, is that why so many Americans have hearing loss? 😮

Seriously, vehicles and machines are definitely a big part of why I do have hearing loss

Several soldiers on foot would be a LOT better for the hospital than a missile if that is really all they are looking for, although that doesn’t seem to fit with what they’ve done so far

1024_Kibibytes ,

Traveling within 10 feet of another vehicle where the speeds are measured as a percentage of the speed of sound (Mach) is definitely flying like a moron.

1024_Kibibytes ,

True, but that is well planned, both pilots probably meet before the flight, I think, and actually discuss the whole routine including the distance, because unexpected turbulence and a dozen other factors can throw the plan off, whereas fighter jet meets B-52 without any plan or possibly even contact, at 400+ knots is a bad idea.

I would try in the terminal (Ctrl+Alt+F3 or F1 or F2 depending on the distro), and then a live iso, then a live version of Windows or the Windows installer.

Arkansas lawmakers OK plan to audit purchase of $19,000 lectern for Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (apnews.com)

Arkansas lawmakers on Thursday voted to audit the purchase of a $19,000 lectern for Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, delving into an unusual controversy that’s prompted questions about the seemingly high cost of the item and claims that the governor’s office violated the state’s open-records law....

There do appear to be differences, the microphone holder, for instance, but, yeah, $19K is a stretch, even if it was made by a craftsman in Arkansas

Well, you need a router or access points instead of a cable box. And you can stream it over Wi-Fi. Yeah, you can stream it over Wi-Fi. That’s why this is vaguely better than regular cable TV.

They do look like they are all quite bored or at least barely interested and like he’s explaining something they know well, and therefore don’t need an explanation of.

The position is for a senior web engineer, so you either look at the company website and say “hmm” or you open a development app, write the HTML tag, maybe a head or css tag, then save the document.
