Everything I like has more than 5 ingredients if you count seasonings. Might as well heat up soup.

In Seattle in the late 1800s this kind of thing literally happened sometimes when the tide came in. They called it a “sewer geyser”.

Mysagony: the Silant Killar

The term “dependency hell” reminds me of “DLL hell” Windows devs used to refer to. Something must have changed around 2000 because I remember an article announcing, “No more DLL hell.” but I don’t remember what the change was.

Small thing about filesystem dialogs. In file open/save dialogs some apps group directories at the top and others mix them in alphabetically with files. My preference is for them to be grouped, but being consistent either way would be nice.

Just click your heels together three times, Dorothy. You’ll find all the fascism you need right in your own backyard!

Yes, Mint Cinnamon. Weird combination of names tho, I don’t even want to think about combining those flavors.

I’m happy with Linux Mint so far (2 mos in)

They said my job could be done by a traffic cone, but a cone don’t look this good in a vest!

Well that’s just like, your opinion, man.

Yeah I’ll go along with that.

Neurodivergence has become the “My kid is gifted” for people who don’t have kids.

Silhouette sounds like an interesting method, although I’ve never tried to figure out how to test with and without rat in mouth. Probably would just have to try it in practice.

I think some guy did a HackaDay or Instructables about this a few years ago using Arduino. He got it to recognize his cat’s face to keep out other neighborhood cats. But to give the software enough time to recognize the face, the cat had to go through a 3-ft tunnel. Our cat door is built into the real door, so I can’t attach a tunnel to the outside. But our problem isn’t the wrong cats coming in. What I need is to detect if the cat has something in its mouth like a rat, which they love to bring in alive to play with and immediately lose so I have to root them out. Our cats are dumbasses.

Gmail is web-based, you can use it with Firefox. For that matter Linux doesn’t bind you to Firefox either, you can use Chrome and other browsers. I never used office 360 or Libre, I just use google docs.

Nailed it, this is the only reason I’ve used notepad for years. Speaking of which, now that I’m permanently on Linux I should lfind a command line way to do this - there has to be one, if not many.

This is the all-time most succinct encapsulation of libertarian thought - giving the government power by voting is tyranny, but random people getting it as a side-effect of money is Freedom.

No! What’s on Second!

I don’t know!

No, he’s on third!

Et tu, Brad?
