Yeah technically you aren’t supposed to ride on the sidewalks here (USA) but there’s barely any safe infrastructure to do otherwise, and I’m sure as hell not going to ride on the street with the death machines honking all over the place, so the sidewalk it is until city infrastructure is less car-brained.

Thank you for providing a non lethal alternative method. I’m uncomfortable with how much death humans gleefully visit upon the insect kingdom when they don’t have to.

That has ketchup in it though, I’m not sure it’s quite in the sprit of the question, though it’s definitely astoundingly popular specifically in Utah.

I haven’t seen anyone mention nutritional yeast yet, but that’s become my go-to seasoning for almost everything; popcorn, pizza, scrambled eggs, bread, ramen, soft pretzels, and of course on fries. So damn good!

(Yes, I realize the name “nutritional yeast” sounds vaguely unpleasant and unappetizing, but I promise it’s incredible if you like savory flavors, and it can also be used as a cheese powder substitute in vegan recipes.)

all of the kids are progressive

I’m not so sure that’s entirely true, there are plenty of angry social regressives among the young too.

requires you to own the original Thief Gold

Happily, that’s no longer the case these days. TDM was originally a mod, but despite keeping the name, it’s now a standalone game using the open-sourced Doom 3 engine. The whole game is currently free without any purchases necessary!

Benedict Cumberbatch’s Sherlock is what I think of as an example of turning a good character into a Mary Sue. He’s always pulling things out of his ass that he’s inexplicably been planning all along, or surprise he’s incredible at some random thing that just happens to be crucial at the moment.

Every Sherlock is like that to an extent, but that version was the worst.

Looking through their comment history, they proclaim their honesty quite often, it’s pretty funny when you’re looking for it 😆

I’ve now tagged them so I’ll remember that they are very honest:

there will be meaningful change if Trump wins the election

True.

I can also guarantee that voting won’t be enough to prevent that. Hillary won the popular vote by nearly 3 million votes in 2016, and still lost the election. When the DNC is determined to lose an election through strategic incompetence, they’ll do it regardless of what we do at the ballot box.

Voting isn’t entirely pointless, and we should do it if we are able, but it isn’t the silver bullet that liberals always pretend it is when they’re haranguing leftists online.

Lots of info here about something to use that always has everything available.

Some great favorites of mine that I haven’t seen mentioned here yet:

• Extraordinary Attorney Woo is a Korean drama which follows Woo Young-woo, a female rookie attorney with autism, who is hired by a major law firm in Seoul.
• Lupin is a French series about Assane Diop, a man who is inspired by the adventures of master thief Arsène Lupin.
• Ragnarok is a Norwegian fantasy drama television series reimagining of Norse mythology. It takes place in the present-day fictional Norwegian town of Edda.
• Tribes of Europa is a German series set in 2074, 43 years after a mysterious global technological failure caused nations to slip into anomie and fracture into dystopian warring tribal microstates.

Both owned by Google, unfortunately, so not a surprise I guess.

The ability to pick a cloud-storage provider to use for automatic 3rd-party game sync. It sucks that I can’t play a non-steam game on my deck and then resume on my desktop or vice versa.

Admittedly it’s a bit of manual tech fiddling involved, but you can accomplish this by using network shares and some careful scripting. For example, I’ve got both my desktop and steamdeck with a launch script configured in Lutris on both. The script symlinks a network share path to the appropriate save game location for each game before running the game. Granted you have to figure out where each game wants it’s save to be stored, but that’s not too difficult once you get used to it.

Fiddly and nerdy for sure, and not for the non technical, but it’s pretty nice, I’ve found! Would be even better if there was some more automated solution though.

It was a revelation at some point in my young life when I realized that CEOs (and any other executive position) are not the highly trained and capable leaders with grand business acumen that I was led to believe they are. Literally anyone can be a CEO for a few dollars and their name on a business registration with the local government, no training or capability is required.

Horrifying in retrospect to realize how many people lionize executives simply for adopting a title.

Having to copy a line from a document titled “The Principles of Communism” just to sign up should’ve tipped you off that something was a bit weird.

Uh what? How is it weird to have a mild anti-bot task in a registration process? That’s pretty normal.

If you’re objecting to the content in the text, well that’s just silly. A communist instance referencing communist writings is not “weird”, that’d be entirely within the realm of reasonable expectation.

If you feel so threatened by the mere presence of communism in your bubble, maybe don’t try to join an instance by and for them? How dare the dastardly communists be so happy and welcoming to everyone!

I haven’t used it much myself, it could be too early in it’s development to be useful, just thought I’d mention it though!

It looks like tabs are supported, but they call them an OptionContainer.

It seems like one sacrifices a lot of customizability for simplicity of code with this toolkit, but that might be fine for some use-cases.

I’ve historically used PySide (the free-license version of Qt) but for simple stuff like you’re looking for, you might get some mileage out of the Toga GUI toolkit. It’s relatively new, but promising.

I’ve actually been pretty impressed with the whole suite of BeeWare stuff in my informal testing so far; it’s a nice little bundle of tools. (Specifically I’m interested most in their distribution approach; building Python apps for distribution is a giant fucking pain, but this group seems to have improved the experience significantly.)

What I’ve done in the past is to copy the URL of the unavailable video (if it’s still accessible via the playlist entry, sometimes it isn’t which is annoying) and feed it into the Wayback Machine in the hopes that it got archived at some point. The video stream isn’t usually available that way, but at least the page title sometimes is, and then I can search for other versions of it.

Just pointing out how ironic it is that your response to someone informing you that you are being manipulated by police propaganda is to… go find stats sourced from the police to argue that you feel justified agreeing with the police propaganda.

🤔

Still want to add a few bits of info to it, but I’m pretty happy with the dashboard for my kitchen display that sits on top of the fridge where I can see it from the living room as well:
