I used to watch a ton of hockey (TV and in person) but I have vision issues with the ads on TV too. My brain refuses to process it as “normal” and it interferes with watching the gameplay to the point where the ads just takeover the whole experience. Fuck those ads.

fuck, I havent read one of those in decades. good times

Astro Bot is amazing. Probably not worth the price of admission if it is the only one you care about, but nevertheless a great game.

What did the deadhead say to the other deadhead when the drugs ran out?

Thank you for writing this, it resonated with me, despite my never having been to Wales. One could replace the names and much of this would be spot-on analysis for Appalachia (a mountainous and largely rural region of the US, a few hours West from DC.) It seems we face many of the same challenges.

You didnt miss much. They were very forgettable.

Russia is running out of money and bodies to throw at this war. His populace is tired of it and finally starting to show cracks in support at the Duma.

Putin desperately needs Trump to hand him a win so he can claim a victory and quit while he has his most important war goals achieved (illegal annexation of Crimea, along with parts of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zhaporizhzhya.)

I am willing to bet he would accept the current front lines, if it comes down to that. Sure, he’d rather have the entire Donbas, but he hasnt managed that in 11 years, including 3 years of full-scale war. Now all he can do is make it more painful for the rest of Ukraine in the hopes they will capitulate. He must really not understand Ukrainians at all. They wont quit, as long as Europe is in Ukraine’s corner. Hence his renewed attempts to bait Europe.

Because he is at an impasse in Ukraine, I believe Putin wants to provoke a broader conflict in Europe, in part to serve Xi’s long-term needs. A Europe forced to send all their missiles and artillery shells to Ukraine isnt going to be helping to defend Taiwan.

Two kinds of cheese marbled together, which are different colors: colby is orange and monterrey jack is white. For reasons probably obscured by history, they are frequently combined.

“Per capita consumption of American-style natural cheeses such as cheddar, Colby and Jack cheeses rose from 11.7 pounds in 1995 to more than 15 pounds in 2017”

In this case cut into “cheese stick” and sold that way for convenient snacking.

lol, they even have feringhee.com

It looks like a pretty decent menu, not just the usual BIR type stuff most places have that all tastes basically the same (not that I usually mind.)

I would definitely eat there if I were in town. Being called a pejorative would be a small price to pay for delicious Indian cuisine.

LibraWolf and IronFox

Anyone with 2 functioning brain cells has known this for years.

Landlock is a Linux API that lets applications explicitly declare which resources they are allowed to access. Its philosophy is similar to OpenBSD’s unveil() and (less so) pledge(): programs can make a contract with the kernel stating, “I only need these files or resources — deny me everything else if I’m compromised.”

oh man I used to support a product that ran on bundled tomcat. Fuck. That. Shit.

The XDG Base Directory Specification is based on the following concepts:

There is a single base directory relative to which user-specific data files should be written. This directory is defined by the environment variable $XDG_DATA_HOME.

There is a single base directory relative to which user-specific configuration files should be written. This directory is defined by the environment variable $XDG_CONFIG_HOME.

There is a single base directory relative to which user-specific state data should be written. This directory is defined by the environment variable $XDG_STATE_HOME.

There is a single base directory relative to which user-specific executable files may be written.

There is a set of preference ordered base directories relative to which data files should be searched. This set of directories is defined by the environment variable $XDG_DATA_DIRS.

There is a set of preference ordered base directories relative to which configuration files should be searched. This set of directories is defined by the environment variable $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS.

There is a single base directory relative to which user-specific non-essential (cached) data should be written. This directory is defined by the environment variable $XDG_CACHE_HOME.

There is a single base directory relative to which user-specific runtime files and other file objects should be placed. This directory is defined by the environment variable $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR.

The respondents said that overall, China is outpacing Korea in price competitiveness, productivity and government support. They added that the U.S. has greater competitiveness over Korea in brand power, key personnel and core technologies.

Ive blocked them a ton of times myself. Summit (android client) lets me filter for username string.

I assume because ASCII has a much smaller character set than unicode. ASCII fits in 7 bits, vs 21 bits for unicode.

Not really. I’m survibing.

And also because “disk” is already too hard for most people. “Partition” would be way way too complicated a concept for most users.

and we fucking hate Reddit

Speak for yourself. I reserve hate for people who do me or my loved ones actual harm.

For me, Reddit is rather like an ex- who went another way in life, but I acknowledge we had some good times. I wouldnt date them again, but I might see them walk by (on a search result) and admire their butt …whilst being careful to avoid being drawn into the toxicity again.
