Whoa. You weren't kidding. I almost never go into comment history, but I found someone to block there.
Maybe you want an ultrawide for some tasks. I can see why people use them, it's not something I've felt I need.
OK gatekeeper.
I wish people would explain their downvotes for this post. It has more information and nuance than 99% of the posts on lemmy. I guess because it doesn't fit whatever rage they are currently entertaining.
I heard someone refer to her as Barney Rubble and I just can't get that image out of my head.
I'm always surprised when these weird freaks believing in trickle-down economics actually exist. Morons who still worship at the fecal stained feet of dementia Reagan.
They need to check gardening supply places.
[Putin] declared that he and Mr Xi were “as close as brothers”
That's nothing. The US elected someone who shared "love letters" with another of the Putin/Xi types in North Korea, and then went on to attempt a coup. Authoritarians love authoritarians.
Putin is just a bitch these days, and Xi is isn't much better.
I had to laugh at an earlier observation of a homeless guy being kicked out of the UCI encampment by the protestors.
EDIT: Hal Holbrook wasn't wrong when he said the change in the audience over the years for his Mark Twain show was a quickly dwindling ability to appreciate satire.
And helped the illegitimate SC completely dodge the 14th Amendment disqualification portion of the Colorado case.
It's pretty easy to just split the ultrawide into as many virtual monitors as you want. At least on Linux, I have zero experience on Windows or Mac. That said, I prefer 2 monitors, one vertical.
You can look up the man page for date. I'm not sure if that'll do, but it's pretty easy. Something like date --set="1 MAY 18:00:00" as root.
Instead of ending it, just address the problem. I'm no city designer, but seems like a button triggering a flashing light or something might be enough. It also seems like bikers would be pretty tuned into people crossing at the stops already.
Ah, my bad. I saw the systemd timers thing, and not knowing much about systemd I figured that was an alternative closer to at than cron. Looks like it's more of another unneeded replacement. I use at all the time and only really edit my cron a few times a year. I'd think that I'd learn to read entire articles before commenting.
Two authoritarian assholes spoon on international stage.

Steve seems like a great guy and I've liked his content for years.
Well, "agreeing with the Texas AG" was not on my list of expected things today. Or this month. Or this year. But here I am.
The only one I've found is this one, but it doesn't work. It only triggers if I open the keyword interface and save it after every page load. I don't know enough to fix it.
Any advice for a regular smart 27 year old youngster, who has chronically underachieved and is motivated to turn their life around. They have a couple years of JC completed, and has no idea what path to take, or really what paths exist.
EDIT: OK, I see I gave slim pickins here. It's not me, it's my neighbor's kid. I've known his parents since before he was born. He's a super smart kid, but like a lot of smart kids, he got kind of jaded about...well, everything. I was visiting the other day and he asked me for advice, and my retired ass has nothing. Any relevant personal experience I may have, became dated years ago.
He's good at just about all subjects. His longest lifelong hobby has been video games. He took a few programming classes and liked it, but the thought of doing it full time as a career would quickly become torture.
He's kind of half-assed things and just realized he needs to get his shit straight. He was thinking something like finance, just numbers. Something solid that's just a career direction. He is going back to school, well most likely he is, but he needs an idea of what path to take. Most of his friends are unemployed/underemployed with computer degrees.
India is sending back thousands of Myanmar refugees, whom they blame for ethnic violence erupting in Manipur state.
Nobody seems to be talking about the continuing genocide of Rohingya in Myanmar nor India's heartless and illegal current actions.

My ISP seems to be throttling my VPN connection. Just started a week or so ago. Anyone have any tips for correcting this shit?
Edit: Sorry, I didn't leave much info. I guess I was thinking in more general terms. I use PIA, have for years. I've tried to change protocols and ports, my VPN speed still sits around 10K. Just ridiculous. Speed test without VPN:
SOLVED!! OK, I'm an absolute idiot. The tl;dr I had accidentally toggled the Toggle Alt. Rate Limits setting. Thank you everyone for attempting to help that which couldn't be helped!
I read Kim's Mars trilogy years ago and liked it. I decided to pick up The Ministry of the Future a couple days ago. It's very different, and without any spoilers, I have to say it's made me hate humanity even more than I already did. If you haven't read it, it's a near-future climate disaster book. Well written, interesting structure, and just pissing me off. I'm about halfway through it, so maybe it'll swing the other way in the second half.
Data is consistent with bosses using RTO to reassert control and scapegoat workers.
Nothing we all didn't know.
My mom has a hole in the ground that she puts her clothes drying hanger in. Like this. The hole in the ground is a 2" or so pipe, set in concrete. The pipe has filled with gravel. Anyone have a tip on getting the rocks out? I can only get so many out using my fingers and then trying to use a set of chopsticks.
At least 200 Israelis have been killed and 740 wounded, according to reports from media and health officials. Gaza health officials say nearly 200 Palestinians have been killed with more than 1,600 wounded.
This seems far more serious than the typical lobbing explosives at each other in which Hamas and Israel habitually partake.
OK, this is dumb, but it's gone through my head a couple times. I've seen a few science fiction movies and shows where the people in the spaceship use a gravity assist and lean into the turns like they're driving NASCAR or riding a roller coaster.
I think they wouldn't feel the acceleration (vector change) because gravity is doing the acceleration on every molecule and there would be nothing to lean against. I'm often wrong though. Someone smarter than I am have some insight?
EDIT: For what it's worth, I guess I shouldn't have used the Expanse clip as it upset some people. I just used it for an example of what I was asking. The question is this: Under little or no thrusters, would you feel a gravity assist? Even a radical one that changes your direction 90 degrees and greatly increases your velocity?
Is Paddy Pimblett vs. Tony Ferguson cynical booking from the UFC, or just the right fight? Brendan Schaub has thoughts.
I would love to see Ferguson take the win. It would be hilarious to me.
Ngannou is a beast, but if this open workout is any indicator, he's going to get easily pieced up by Fury.
Former UFC champ Israel Adesanya apologized to fans, friends and family after pleading guilty to driving drunk.
Maybe Izzy didn't have the best camp. The Red Tomato and others have said Izzy looked off in his fight, maybe they were on to something. I still think Strickland just figured the puzzle out though.
Well, almost zero activity on this sub. Still a nice break from the shithole that is the reddit amcstock sub. It's really something looking at this stock and realizing that the tens of thousands I spent over the past year could be bought with a few thousand dollars now. Disheartened and disgusted. No reason to sell because I've lost so much already. Fucking hell.
I haven't been on the other site even once since bailing when the API shit started happening. I just went to the old amcstock sub and have to say I don't miss it. Still filled with "trust me bro" posts, a scattering of "MOASS is imminent" posts. No real information, just hype, like a warm up act. I only check the stock about twice a week these days. The only thing that has stayed with me from those old frantic days is "Zero or MOASS" I'm not going anywhere.
