"We're creating a story": Vance admits he's making up Haitian immigrant smears
  • With so many narratives they could have chosen:

    When a ton of immigrants come in it puts a strain on the social welfare system.

    When a ton of new immigrant children comes into a new school district it puts a large strain on the teachers.

    I mean there are things they could have chosen, but pets being eaten? Really? How exactly did they choose that?

    Put up random crazy things on a wall and throw darts?

    Does selling stuff you own affect your unemployment? (NYS)
  • As long as you don't sell to much at a time then no. Also the reality is they won't really know unless you tell them. Obviously if you are pulling in $50,000 a month that will probably show up.

    What is it like seeing ads on Youtube?
  • That’s odd. Haven’t seen that much of a problem. Not saying you aren’t having the problem.

    Although most videos I watch are about 4 minutes. The only exception would be critical role. Haven’t really noticed a big problem when they are doing their live stream.

    What is it like seeing ads on Youtube?
  • Exactly. It comes down to a person's patience. The videos I watch are things from HLC, habitual line crosser, this is part of how he makes his money. I watch a video and a commercial and he gets paid. I can work with that. Also Critical Role, same thing there. If I want the entertainment then in some way shape or form they need to be paid. Either I pay them directly or I watch an ad.

    Ads are usually skippable. Even if they aren't, I click on the computer screen then wait for a whole 8 seconds to watch what I want.

    Suggestions for best course of action to convince parents that cutting the cord is going to save them quite a bit of money and they can still watch all their programs?
  • The question I would have at this point is how much of a change was it? For example, all their channels right now are coming through service, so that means one remote and effectively one graphical interface.

    So under the new system with everything coming through one graphical interface? Or how many different systems would this entail? How many times would they have to change input? As a person gets older having to deal with multiple inputs, possibly even multiple remotes can be more headache than it is worth.

    I don’t know what the age of your parents are, but with my mom she’s over 70, she knows the sound systems makes TV shows and movies sound much better, but all the extra remotes and changing of inputs, etc. it’s too much for her.

    I don’t know what the age of your parents are, but with my mom she’s over 70, she knows the sound systems makes TV shows and movies sound much better, but all the extra remotes and changing of inputs, etc. she just it’s too much for her no idea of why this got duplicated

    again, I don’t know what the age of your parents are so I’m not sure if that would be a problem or not? But it is something I’m curious on is how many different interfaces/systems and remotes are they having to deal with when you put them over on the new system?

    Also, sometimes even without age people are just going, give me one system, integrated into one interface, give me one remote and just let me view the shows.

    Sorry if I sound like I’m arguing against you I do apologize if I sound that way. I’m just curious what your responses are , And if it turns out that it is a number of remotes, it might be something I think about.

  • This is the best option. Put the system in and go over a lot and show them that ALL of their shows they want are available. Then show what it costs. Pay for it yourself as a gift to them. Once they see the bill (if it's cheaper) and once they see ALL of their shows are available, that should convince them.

  • At this point with as many ways as questions have been answered and you still don't get it. I am going to classify you as a troll and just move on. Good luck out there

  • I think this would do it

    https://github.com/the-allanc/minty-color-titles

    It says to put it into the .config/gtk-3.0 folder

    But I can’t find a .config folder. I found an /etc/gtk-3.0 folder.

    Would that directory work?

    Is there a better way to change the title bar color?

    I have two internal hard drives in my pc, one has windows 11 and one is for extra storage.

    I hooked up an external USB drive to install Linux onto. During the install it says

    Device for boot loader installation

    And then it gives me a number of options

    /dev/nvme0n1 (this I think is what my windows 10 is at)

    /dev/nvme0n1p1

    /dev/nvme0n1p3

    /dev/nvme0n1p4

    /dev/sda ATA WDC WD10EZEX-00W (1.0 TB) Ii think this is the other internal drive

    /dev/sda2

    /dev/sdb WD easystore 2647 (1.0 TB)

    /dev/sdb1

    I think the easystore is my external drive. The problem is they are both 1T in size and both western digital.

    How do I know which is which?

    Just above where it says "device for boot loader installation" it shows

    !

    If I try to click on /dev/sdb I can't click on install now.

    On the basis that I should be trying to install in /dev/sdb what am I doing wrong to actually start the install process?

    Yeah I'm new to Linux. I need help to do it right and not nuke my windows install

    I know, I can create a live CD of Linux, I know I also can create a bootable Linux installation on a jump drive. I’m curious is can I actually do a full install of mint Linux on an external drive and actually run it that way. When I say run it I mean actually add packages remove packages, etc. i’m asking because I have a currently working Windows 10 computer. And until I really understand Linux especially how to properly install it. I prefer not to screw something up on a working system. I figured install it to an external Drive and then just tell the bios, don’t boot the windows drive just boot into the external Drive.

    Would this actually work?

    I know the ng means nanogram

    But I’m curious how would I say the above line of 2.1 ng/kg

    For context I got it from this paragraph

    a lethal dose of 1.3–2.1 ng/kg in humans

    Would it be

    2.1 nanogram per kilogram?

    Also if I wanted to write that as a decimal number how would i write that?

    Each of the companies that we have talked to for Hot air balloon rides have said you pay for it in advance, then if there is bad weather, you don’t get your money back. You just have to reschedule for another day. We have a friend who had to make many many many trips an hour and a half each way and each time on the way there, they would get a call to say sorry it’s too windy or some other item. It took a long time before they actually got there actual ride.

    So what I’m wondering is, is there any company out there that actually just gives a refund if you can’t take the ride because of inclement weather.? This is in the United States.

    In the United States it used to be on the first Wednesday of each month during the summer they would run a tornado alarm. Namely it was to test the alarm system, to make sure that everything was working.

    And we knew if it was Wednesday and the first Wednesday of the month I mean. And those alarms went off we knew not to worry too much about it.

    For some genius reason they decided to run them on different days, it’s pretty much just random at this point. Which is stupid because the only thing it does is makes everybody ignore the alarm.

    still don't have the eyes quite right, but getting closer to what I want.
