Tell your girlfriend to get a queer manicure next time.
That's really interesting. I wonder how voting works (or doesn't) for US researchers in remote parts of the world, like McMurdo station?
Estrogen, yes. Trans guys are fucked if we've got to order testosterone off the internet.
The elites don’t want you to know this but the geese at the park are free you can take them home I have 458 geese
I like the idea of being able to take physical notes, in multiple different colors, and making it digitally searchable without the hassle and waste of digitally scanning physical notes. When I was a full time student, I really wanted something like this.
But the price and actual capabilities? No thanks.
I had a friend who got in trouble with the FBI this way.
The insane pricing creating a miserable push to do all the things is basically the entire Disney experience for families. I used to work in one of the parks, and people were exhausted and burnt out trying to do everything, and my advice to people visiting the parks was always "don't try to do everything, try to pick some of it and enjoy what you do".
Maybe look into Bazzite, it's a gaming focused distro that's pretty beginner friendly.
I was in class when the debate happened, and too much Trump is exhausting - I'm watching the Daily Show recap right now. Something I've noticed is that somebody actually did Trump's makeup correctly for the debate, he didn't look like an Oompa Loompa for once.
If you're in a bigger city, maybe see if you can get work with IATSE doing stagehand stuff?
Ooh, a choco taco is way better than a sticker!
(Sadly, the Choco Taco was discontinued a couple years ago.)
Abolish the corn welfare system. 95% of corn is not grown for human consumption. Let's grow more of our own food.
Uh... I am not opposed to this, as a vegetarian, but... uh... the logical conclusion of this policy would be extremely unpopular. The corn that's not for human consumption is used in industrial and manufactured products (and ethanol, which is something we actually should get rid of, it just doesn't make sense as a product) and in livestock feed lots. If you stop subsidizing corn, meat gets more expensive.
I'm just glad it's not Tubgirl.
They might have been asking about methane production, that's a big topic for cattle because it's a very potent greenhouse gas and having a lot of cattle produces a lot of methane - and it's a byproduct of how their digestive systems work and all ruminants, sheep included, have that problem to some degree.
I wasn't able to find a definitive answer, but per animal sheep aren't as bad, but it's due to their smaller size and if western countries kept eating the same amount of meat but ate more sheep (due to it being cheaper from the demand for sheep condoms, lol) instead of beef I'm not sure it would be better. (Replacing chicken with sheep would definitely be worse though.)
Honestly, I'm just impressed the owner realized he was useless, and apologized. The franchise owner I worked for was an unpleasant, angry individual who would have just yelled at his overworked and underpaid employees for not keeping up with the lunch rush.
Fun fact: Mr. Spock actually had three ears:
A left ear, a right ear, and a final front ear.
Walz paused his campaign speech in Wisconsin on Wednesday after a crowd member appeared to be impacted by the heat.
I blame rtxn@lemmy.world's comment for giving me this idea.
Lynn Conway, who died Sunday at 85, was a leader in the development of personal computers and microprocessor technology, and a symbol for generations of transgender individuals.
I have mixed feelings on the pronoun use, but having read some of her autobiographical writing I don't think she would have taken much issue with it. This piece is more focused on her work in computer engineering, so I felt it was appropriate to post here.
The MN Department of Revenue just announced the application won't be available today, BMTN hasn't updated their article as of the time I'm posting this. I've been hitting F5 for almost three hours, I'm going to go take a nap.
I have an HP Stream 11 that I want to use for word processing and some light web browsing - I'm a writer and it's a lightweight laptop to bring to the library or coffee shop to write on. Right now it's got Windows and it's unusable due to lack of hard drive space for updates. Someone had luck with Xubuntu, but it's been a few years and it seems like Xubuntu is no longer trying to be a lightweight distro for use cases like this.
My experience with Linux is very limited - I played around with Peppermint Linux a bit back when it was a Lubuntu fork and I used Ubuntu on the lab computers in college. I can follow instructions to make a live boot and I can do an apt-get (so something Debian-based might be best for compatibility and familiarity) but I mostly have no idea what I'm doing, lol. I used to do DOS gaming as a kid so having to do the occasional thing via command line isn't going to scare me off but I'm not going to pretend to have knowledge I don't. I'm probably going to go with Mint on my gaming laptop next year but I suspect it's not the best choice for my blue bezeled potato (although I might try it anyway).
Be prepared to restart your day.
With the release of Red Viper, a fully stereoscopic Virtual Boy emulator for the Nintendo 3DS, the community has once again proven that Fans Do What Nintendont. The creation of GitHub user skyfloogle, Red Viper finally brings the Virtual Boy's tiny library to the system where it always belonged, per
I have a modded 3ds LL, and I don't speak Japanese. I relied heavily on Google translate to get it modded but at this point I don't have many problems that locale emulation won't fix. But I am playing the US version of Animal Crossing New Leaf, and in order to play online with other people it's asking me to agree to a user agreement that I just can't find in my system settings, and if one does exist it might not set the correct flags for the US version of the game. I'd like to see the online stuff before they shut down the servers, and the AC community is trying to organize something on there in a week or two. I'm guessing region changing will let me just approve the user agreement, and it looks like for me there wouldn't be any downside because I have no intention of unmodding, and I have no purchases on the eShop nor a Japanese NNID (would making one help with this issue?) but I figured I'd try asking if someone else might have a different solution? Having it in Japanese is just kinda neat, despite the occasional headache requiring Google translate.
I'm trying to buy a used Japanese New 3DS LL (I hate how Nintendo named that thing) with an IPS top screen, and there's one listing where the price is what I'm willing to pay, the screens are pristine with no yellowing and I'm fine with the condition of the back plates, but there's a small crack in the console just below the upper screen. I do not have the experience to replace the whole shell, is this something I could use a bit of glue or epoxy and be fine or would this become a huge problem?
