How did you disconnect from the world for a year? Did you go to some very remote location?
He's a great manager, I'd imagine. He doesn't need to punish anyone for poor performance. He can just give them his signature look of disappointment, and they know.
Germans calling gloves "hand-shoes" will never not be funny to me. Similarly, they have so many literal names for things. Suicide is self-muder, airplane is fly-thing, gums are tooth-meat.
German's my second language, and just the other day I heard a new term while playing a game that was so literal I didn't need a dictionary. I wish I could remember what it was.
Yes, of course. I got married (for the first time) in my 30s.
This is the "Lagrangian standard model" - the mathematical formula explaining basically all physics as we know it.
When you DON'T assume spherical chickens in a vacuum, this is what you gotta calculate.
Die Tasche. Die Tasche? DIE TASCHE!
I have no idea. I got a few emails from my Internet provider, warning me to stop pirating. I haven't gotten any such emails since using Proton. I've never tried another service.
Torrents, mostly. Torrents and pretending to be from another country/state are the top uses for a VPN. I guess VPNs can also help with "dark web things," but I don't know enough about those to offer any advice.
But burning isn't how your body utilizes the calories. Some things burn just fine yet are entirely useless as a (human) food source, like wood. This complicates things.
For instance, we still don't know if our bodies can actually use ethanol (drinking alcohol) as a fuel source. Is that vodka shot adding to your daily calorie intake?
I use Proton VPN (lowest paid tier) to stream German television. Works great for me. I get the occasional stutter, but my Internet isn't the best. I also get that when viewing local content.
Thankfully, nvidia actually released open source drivers for their cards a couple years ago or so. Nvidia cards are much more compatible with Linux now than they used to be.
Proton is a Windows compatibility layer for games developed by Valve for Steam. It's based on Wine. Wine originally stood for WINdows Emulator, but it now stands for "Wine Is Not (an) Emulator," which I always found funny. Technically, it is translation layer for system calls, I think. It's very good these days!
But really, the only thing to know about Proton is that for any game in Steam, you can go into the "compatibility" preferences and enable Proton for that game. This can allow Windows games that Valve doesn't support to work in Linux. It's not perfect, however. ProtonDB (database) is a website full of user reviews of how well Proton works with games. They will tell you what tweaks they used to get games working!
I had a coworker who was a night auditor at a hotel. She had two jobs, but night auditor was her "main" job. She really liked it, and she said it was mostly very quiet. At her hotel, the night auditor also checked in guests who arrived at night. She said she only had a few a night, and she worked in a tourist town.
Hey, friend. I just wanted to let you know that I couldn't get New Vegas to run on my (up to date) Linux PC until I installed the custom Proton version called "Proton GE." The GE stands for Glorious Eggroll, which is the username of the developer. There's guides on how to install it on the GitHub's readme. I know it may sound complicated to someone new, but you can do it!
Here's a link to the read me: https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom?tab=readme-ov-file#manual
Scroll down to the "native" install instructions.
Of course, you can ignore this if New Vegas just works for you as it seems to for many others. My system is MX Linux, not Mint.
The best way to dual boot is to have separate hard drives for Windows and Linux. I'm not aware of some distros bring more windows friendly than others.
I dream every night. I even dream frequently while taking naps, sometimes as short as 15-20 minutes.
Many dreams I forget shortly upon waking. As in, I can't remember what it was about by the time I get out of bed. But, I do actually remember the dream for a few seconds, so I know it happened. The majority of my dreams I can recall for the rest of the morning or even day. If something noteworthy happened, I can remember the dream for days, weeks, or years. I really depends on how impactful/meaningful the dream was.
I have not used sleep journals or anything of that nature to help me remember dreams. I have always been like this. I also have had sleep paralysis and sporadic insomnia for about as long as I can remember - not severe or frequent enough to need treatment.
Oh, don't worry. They're ending support for old teams soon. You won't have a choice anymore.
Not only are new teams notification banners annoying, new teams no longer makes a noise for every single notification, like it used to. I rather have a ding than a banner, especially since I tend to use all of my screen space.
I could, but I have no aptitude for visual art. I'd sooner buy one of the vintage Linux boxes. And I may very well do that.
Can I make my own Linux install media? Yes. I do it all the time. Can I make my own software box with cool artwork and booklets and various other goodies? No.
Thank you. I see the DVDs and the USB sticks, but how can you tell which ones actually come as a box set? It's really the box I'm interested in.
Wie komisch! I actually know German, but they don't deliver to the USA. Thank you, though.
I've tried to find them to no avail. I'm guessing the box sets just aren't made anymore, but I figured it's worth asking in case there's some obscure one out there somewhere.
To clarify, I'm looking for a more recent Linux version. I know the older ones can be found on auction sites and the like.
I remember finding them on the Internet somewhere in the early 2000s. I remember that Kimi was one of them, so it would have to have been after the second movie (Rugrats in Paris). Anybody remember these things? I can't find any details about them online.
A dice tray or a set of dice is an obvious and universal choice. Anybody have any more ideas? Thanks in advance.
When I am making a post or a comment through jerboa, I am having a weird issue where if I backspace/delete, the text of the word I'm writing will combine with the word before it.
As an example, if I type
> The quick brown foz
And I backspace to fix the typo, I get this
> The quick brownfo
If I keep backspacing to fix the problem, it keeps combining words like this
>Thequickbrown
It's very annoying and sometimes I have to delete entire sentences and start over. Also, if I have a wall of text and click somewhere in the text to make an edit, sometimes it will keep typing where I was before. Also annoying.
Does anybody else have this issue? It could be a product of my keyboard, which is Open Board from F-Droid. But I usually only have issues like this when trying to type my information into websites that aren't designed for mobile. (Fennec, if it matters.)
I chose my instance 9 or so months ago purely because it was suggested by the Jerboa app at the time. In lieu of making numerous accounts to access communities that aren't federated with my instance, I was hoping to make a second account with a very "federated" instance. Any suggestions?
Despite being here for a while, I've mostly been a lurker til recently and haven't learned a lot. Thanks in advance.
