Freeze leftovers. If food is too much, put 1-2 meals in a freezer-ready container, put it away. Eat it a few weeks/months later when you’re too lazy to cook.
Measure ingredient amounts. Usually, I don’t bother, but if I don’t want leftovers, it’s necessary.
I’m pretty sure lightsabers have different weirdness levels / connotations than dildos.
Interesting.
For me, Makerspace always made more sense. You go there to make something. Hacking, while not negative, always has the meaning of modifying existing things to me, which does not always apply.
I hack together an item = I merge several items into one. I hack an item = I modify an item.
Not a native speaker, so I’m unsure if that is the correct usage.
Is there a big difference between paid and free readers? It seems weird for them to only list readers with monthly cost (+a browser).
That is unrelated to normal straw usage, though. They can at any time declare that they need “medical straws”, define that only certified companies can provide them, and then demand hundreds of Dollars for them. I would not be surprised if this was already happening somewhere.
The solution I’ve sort-of found is to go to communities of Arch-based systems instead of Arch itself. The same solution should work in most cases*, and the communities are more newbie-friendly.
*Depends on how close to Arch the distro is in this aspect/subsystem. The Manjaro community is probably less likely to offer AUR based solutions, since the AUR can be unreliable/unsafe on Manjaro.
Someone made a website to compile them you might find, but here’s what I remember:
Putting the extraordinarily unstable test release of a package in their normal release. That package specifically included disclaimers that it was for testing only, not meant for any users, and it was very clearly not meant for general release to unsuspecting end-users.
Getting banned off the AUR (twice?) for DDOS-ing it due to their faulty code. As I recall, every machine queried the AUR for updates constantly, or something like that.
Breaking AUR dependencies because of holding back releases for a few weeks, which they regularly to improve safety. Basically, don’t use AUR on Manjaro.
no distro will make decisions that are even in the ballpark of insanity of those by big tech corps.
Manjaro dev team enters the room.
Achja, der Staat hat wohl wieder zu wenig zu tun. Ziemlich sicher, die Hauptbeschwerde der Asylsuchenden war auch, dass das ganze viel zu schnell geht.
Besser, wir durchsuchen noch einmal auf Amtswegen die Daten der potenziell Millionen von Menschen. Das wird die ganze Angelegenheit angenehm entschleunigen. Man muss ja auch mal Muße haben. Vielleicht kann dann auch noch ein jahrelanges Rechtsverfahren laufen, um festzustellen, ob die Rundumüberwachung vielleicht doch menschenunwürdig ist. Damit hätten alle wieder was zu tun.
Definitiv ein solider Plan, der nicht unnötig Geld kostet und nicht schiefgehen kann.
It’s a very difficult topic, and I don’t see any satisfying real-world solutions. Two big issues:
I don’t want a world, where corporations like Adobe or Microsoft hold sole control over legal “ethically trained” generative AI. However, that is where insistence on copyright for training sets, or insistence on censored “safe” LLMs would lead us.
There are dozens of questions like these, and I have found no satisfying answers to any of them. Yet the answers to some of them are required in order to produce reasonable solutions.
Lol, I complete misread part of your first post.
The repulsive Picard picture on the Enterprise D,
Looking at the catalogue, the first is “Picard ready room painting”, and I somehow mixed the two together. Complete reading comprehension failure on my part. All the other erroneous points in my post followed from that. Sorry!
That said, the whole thing still seems to be an issue of “your mileage may vary”. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen the image of Picard on some other official Star Trek stuff at well. (DVD Box art?) I wouldn’t describe it as “repulsive”.
Comparing https://www.lego.com/en-de/product/millennium-falcon-75257 and https://www.bluebrixx.com/en/star-trek/104184/Star-Trek-USS-Enterprise-NCC-1701-D-BlueBrixx-Pro :
The Star Trek looks like the original. I don’t think a bridge would make sense given the scale. If you look at the video, every single dot is a room: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IwxDO2Lrnk
I’d say there are plenty of details, and ~1.5 as many parts to represent as many features as possible on the model. It doesn’t have any play features, as far as I can tell, but I don’t think that was the goal either. Unlike the LEGO set, it’s a straight-up display model, and it works quite well for that, by my estimate. Again, this is just personal opinion. Everyone should judge for themselves what they like.
Edit: I misunderstood the sets the above post was referring to.
Definitely need some stickers, at least, for this.
the miniscule size
Lego Millenium Falcon
I’m about 80% sure you are being sarcastic at this point. Just to be sure:
The Star Trek ships should be bigger and cost more, or cheaper and cost less. Not the same amount for far, far less.
That’s, like, your opinion. Personally, I think €850 for a single set is a bit much. I’d rather have 5 smaller sets for that price. That said, Bluebrixx does plenty of ships that are “cheaper and cost less”, down to tiny sets for ~€10 each.
Personally, sitting in a seat with plenty of room and casually watching videos, browsing kbin, or eating some food is a strictly superior experience to the constant vigilance of city traffic while not being allowed to move from my place.
so I don’t know where those “angry car haters” come from
Having read those comments… probably because OP already dismissed the legitimacy of the community and therefore interpreted all comments in the worst light. Any hint at even the smallest passion for the subject becomes “angry haters”.
Same as the other commenter who dismissed anyone wanting to go without cars as “paupers”, because they cannot imagine there being legitimate reasons to avoid cars.
Okay?
If you want a more LEGO-like feel, you can probably replace the high quality printed blocks with some stickers.
In case someone doesn’t already know these 58 licensed Star Trek sets: https://www.bluebrixx.com/en/sets/star_trek?filter=parts&order=desc&limit=58
Just a warning, some vendors sell locked Pixel phones, apparently. I remember seeing a bunch of very dissatisfied posts when it was new.
It is also not recommended to use 2FA on PC to verify stuff on PC. (Personally, I still do that for some stuff due to laziness, though…)
Basically, hacking/stealing one device should not be enough to get your stuff. Smartphones are relatively often compared to PCs. As long as you still have a secure password you need to enter, I wouldn’t care too much, though.
You get default access to the Google Play Store. It’s just that the Play Store is demoted from being an irremovable system app with all permissions to being treated as a normal app. Depending on the app/feature you want you may need to add a permission manually, but everything should work.
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen several different clips where he repeats the same “I’m a moron” spiel.
While I have only watched what few clips came my way, I was under the impression that was the entire point of his podcast: Invite interesting* people, then validating them in discussion by agreeing to most of their takes regardless of how bizarre they are so that they freely speak of their topic.
*wherein “interesting” is usually something from the categories of fringe beliefs (often conspiracies), drugs, culturally influential people, or experts on whatever is a big topic for his viewership at the time.
Many of the experts are also those of the fringe belief kind.
Basically, if you take Rogan’s views significantly more seriously than the beliefs of your local meth head, you are doing it wrong.
