Some kind of trefoil. Maybe bird’s foot?

Bo7a ,

And motorcycles!

Shameless plug for the triumph bobber forum and triumphrat if you are into those bikes.

Bo7a ,

Ducati.ms will be your best friend.

Yeah, I’m a little bit too much into motorcycle forums…

Bo7a ,

This photo makes me angry. Why is the syrup not spilling over the edges of the pancake? One slice of bacon? And what is that yellow stuff? A hummingbird egg?

Looks tasty. And the portion probably makes much more sense than the monstrosity I make when we do brinner.

Yes. More often than you think. If you can tell a 1/2 inch wrench from a pair of pliers you are already ahead of some applicants.

Bo7a ,

Do you know the meme with the knucklehead on the left at the bottom of the bell-curve, the smashed brain moron at the top, and the sage at the right?

With this comment you are very close to coming off as the smashed brain moron at the top of the curve.

Everyone has preferences, but your preferences do not map to you being superior in any way. And just as importantly - you are also a beginner to some people. It would serve you well to remember that.

Bo7a ,

Fair enough.

Lol. Dig it!

Go home, red deer. You’re drunk. Again.

I’m seeing a lot of “ai” generated trash in the paper now :(

Bo7a ,

Okay, I’ll bite. In your view- How does taking money away from public school to fund more religious schools help students?

Bo7a ,

Ok. So the same question - How does a private school getting public school funds help the students of the public schools?

Bo7a ,

And since they are private why should they be getting tax dollars?

Bo7a ,

Public schools are where an educated population comes from.

I tried to be nice and polite to get at what you were thinking but it is very obvious that you were not thinking at all and possibly are not capable of doing so.

Goodbye

Bo7a ,

Those are primarily ppl larping as canucks, and the same stupid 20% of the population that believes their bullshit as any other country. Like the morons wearing maga hats at a clownvoy rally.

If you go into a thread with real Canadians in it, you will most likely not see anybody having a problem with foreign workers or immigration.

Galen Weston can fucking die though… We all agree on that.

Bo7a ,

Folk makes you feel things. Mostly rage at the capital holding class, but that’s a thing you can should feel.

This is a powerful lyric from the song masters of war by bob dylan.

It is a song about how the Rich and powerful use and abuse normal people as Grist for the war mill or in this case Grist for the oil mill.

How the fuck is this being downvoted?

Bo7a ,

I personally don’t see how. But this is probably the correct answer. Cheers.

Where do the rural homeless near you live?

This seems to be something people don’t always give second thought to. When people talk about the homeless, the first things thought about are images of people on busy city streets in rusty clothes waiting around near allies. In there, the answer is quite static, because it can be I guess. But if that’s the case, change the...

Bo7a ,

The periphery of small towns covered in makeshift tents and shanty style campers would disagree with your statement.

These encampments used to be for seasonal workers passing through. But more and more become year-round all the time.

You are certainly correct about the bulk of homeless making their way towards the cities, but there are a growing number of those who don’t.

Hey me. Nice to see me out in the wild.

I chucked most of my computer stuff, but kept a laptop for work, and a somewhat aging desktop to game on rainy nights, and moved to a piece of forest far from others.

When we first got out here there wasn’t even enough space to park our truck. I cleared enough Forest to park our travel trailer and live in while we built a tiny 12 ftx30 ft house.

Now I spend my mornings feeding birds and doing minimal tending on a very wild (by design) garden.

Strongly suggest others who can do so to give it a try.

Especially people who are in any type of job where systems, thinking and infrastructure was part of your daily thought process.

Life out here is very hard at first as we set up the infrastructure but everyday it gets a little bit easier and eventually the workload should be smaller here than it is at a normal job. That’s when I’ll quit my normal job.

Bo7a ,

There is still some nice, decently priced, forest land in Canada if you are OK with no services and 4 months of wet snow!

-Source: Living in the forest for the last few years. Mainly off-grid, but with a net connection to keep my job.

Bo7a ,

Everything you say is misconstrued through some lens over which you have no control.

example:

Me: Hey do you want to go for a walk when you are done what you are working on?

Them: Why are you always so critical of how long things take?

Me: What. The. Fuck?

Bo7a ,

If there is a bird in your flue you should not light the fire until you clean it out.

Is there a gadget or something that helps find, kill or repel mosquitoes?

I read there were genetically modified mosquitoes that only bred males. Is that commercially available? What about that laser that zapped roaches, has it been improved to zap mosquitoes too? Maybe there is a guide somewhere on how to build a DIY Anti Mosquitoes Air Defense System?

Bo7a ,

Just be careful where you use it. The active chemical is VERY dangerous to aquatic and amphibian life, and can cause serious problems in cats. Dogs don’t seem to be impacted though.

Bo7a ,

Learn to fucking spell before you start denigrating other people’s intelligence.

Yes, I am being condescending. And in case that is too big of a word for you - It means I am talking down to you.

Bo7a ,

Might makes right is the dumbest position, bar none.

Bo7a ,

Gabber/Gak. Man I haven’t thought about these bands forever!

The shizit was my favorite band for a long time. And rotterdam terror corps.

Bo7a ,

Fair enough. I do call even single hip-hop artists ‘bands’ in normal speech as well. Possibly just a linguistic quirk on my part.

Bo7a ,

Nah. I’m 46 and have never liked them.

You can appreciate and respect that somebody did something innovative while still not liking that innovative thing.

Bo7a ,

I grok what you are saying. I just don’t feel that way. To me, music is too subjective to expect anyone to like anything, even if I think it is the bee’s knees.

Maybe it helps that I have always had fairly ‘out there’ musical tastes so I am never shocked when someone doesn’t like something that I do.

Is it a bad idea to introduce a new kitten to a house where there is already an older cat?

In recent days we have been giving home to a black kitten less than a month old yet to be named, the thing is that we already have a cat at home. My cat “Rubia” has been with us for 13 years now, beyond having lost her eyesight due to age, she is very healthy. But since the new kitty arrived I have seen her very stressed....

Bo7a , (edited )

I know a single data point is pretty worthless. But here is our most recent experience.

When we suddenly lost one of our 5 year old brother cats, the one who was still with us got lethargic and very obviously wasn’t himself. We waited about 2 months then brought two rescue kittens home about a week apart, and did a fairly relaxed intro for each before bringing in the next.

He hissed at both of them for the first 5 minutes when physical contact was allowed but otherwise he left them alone for a few days each.

Within a week they were sleeping together. Now they can often all three be found in a big furpile licking each other and he is back to his playful self. We considered not getting another friend for him. But we are so very happy we did.

Cat Tax: Batman (The older brother) is on the bottom left, Eddie Vedder Allen Poe is the one sitting up, and Skeeter can be seen squinting on the right as she always does when she is in her happy place.

Bo7a ,

Thanks. I won’t tell them or it’ll just go to their head.

Bo7a ,

I read about a lot of this police savagery stuff with disgust. But your comment is the first to make me actually break out sobbing. Well written.

That poor, poor, kid.

Bo7a ,

What. The. Fuck.

End of this fucking experiment,our species is god damned garbage.

Caldera linux 1.2.

Those days were magical.

I had just started my university days and I had two young kids who wanted to watch cartoons but we couldn’t afford cable. I ended up scrounging parts from the garbage bins in and behind the computer lab to scrape together a workable desktop.

If I recall correctly it was 333 MHz. Originally installed Windows 98 SE on it. But media would stutter no matter what I did, even if all other processes were killed.

A monk friend of mine (my university was geographically attached to a Benedictine monastery) asked me if I had tried Linux as it should be easier on the system resources and still allow me to play most media.

The rest, as they say, is history.

Bo7a , (edited )

Whoa! thanks for sharing your experience. Your work was definitely appreciated. 25 years later, mainly due to that silly need to play pirated cartoons for the kiddos, and a CD rom I pulled out of the trash - I am a sysadmin who wears an architect title, and I have built some amazing systems. Maybe if Caldera hadn’t been what it was I wouldn’t have been interested enough to make it work, and to realize a love for unixlike systems. So yeah. Thanks :)

Bo7a ,

I finally gave up the hate and embraced the poeterring-ing a few years ago. Can confirm I de-aged by 15 years as a result.

Bo7a ,

I technically drowned when I was 12 and being an idiot ‘riding’ waterfalls. I got sucked into a big crack in a rock and when my friends finally got me out I was clinically dead, and all of my fingernails were ripped in half from trying to claw my way out. All I can remember is abject fear, and then the burning as my lungs gave up.

I would rather die by almost any other means.

Bo7a ,

My friends and I all took water rescue courses in cub scouts so they knew how to do mouth to mouth and clear water from lungs. One friend ran for help and the rest pulled me out and two did the mouth to mouth.

The EMTs who ahowed up after I was pulled out said they figured I was ‘gone’ for a minute or so. I don’t really remember the exact details but it was something about the color of my skin that could tell them how long I was without oxygen.

[SOLVED] Games not running

I have a problem with Borderlands 2 and Portal. If I run native version game crashes soon after launching. If I run Windows version with Proton game doeasn’t launch at all. I tried solutions from ProtonDB but none of them worked. I’m new to Linux gaming so I’m not sure what to do....

Bo7a ,

My usual ‘shot in the dark’ when someone mentions windows versions: Is the game data on a shared NTFS partition? If so, move it to a native linux FS like ext4 and try again.

Bo7a ,

Still worth a shot to mention.

Proton just doesn’t seem to like any data on an NTFS partition, but the error message is ugly and buried so I mentioned it in all of these types of posts.

Bo7a ,

Shot in the dark - Is there any chance the game data is on a shared NTFS partition? The start > blackscreen > dead pattern often happens if you happen to be accessing the game data from an NTFS partition, but that part of the error message is super deep and not really obvious.

Bo7a ,

repeating false info doesn’t help.
