Is this a real place?
Seconding the outside, your drawings were great throughout.
Grocery bags are disposable plastic. In my state they cost a few cents each as of a couple of years ago. Reusable bags are common, but it's also common to forget them and need to buy disposable bags. Most people reuse them as e.g. trash bags for bathrooms.
Are achievements basically just variables like "beat_final_boss", and you expose them somehow to steam?
I've got a pretty sweet gig, all of us do at this company, and I think "rocking the boat" could only make my situation worse. We are only like a dozen people and there's only one person in each "department". We aren't being mistreated and we are privileged enough to be able to leave if we were.
That's pretty good!
As a schlub with chronic back problems, I recommend actually doing your physical therapy regularly! It only helps if you do it.
I work in a very small company in an IT type of field. I fully support unionization in general, but I don't think it's relevant to me at the moment. Do you disagree?
I love your privacy/security summary. Thank you for your honesty!
This looks like a handy tool.
Yeah the animation isn't great, but the stories! Also not great.
Are there star trek magazines from the time complaining about it?
Fascinating! It does look much more modern than the ISS, which makes sense.
Right, there are people and lawfirms that make all their money going around measuring doorway widths and bathroom counter heights and stuff, because the person who raises the complaint gets a reward.. Sort of like bounty hunters?
Usually this kind of stock photo is on a big series, and they are available to license for ads or whatever with tags, so they do a ton of slightly different versions. Here's a neat interview with a couple of photographers. https://www.vox.com/the-goods/2019/7/5/18716229/stock-photo-photographer-model-how
First off this is only relevant to Defense Intelligence; it doesn't cover deploying the 82nd airborne to shoot trump voters.
3.3 starts with "subject to paragraph 3.1" which describes the already-existing laws they are required to follow, such as Posse Comitatus. 3.3 also says anything that might potentially be lethal requires SecDef approval.
All of this is further restricted by DOD policy 5210.56 which has what seem to me are extremely sensible rules regarding use of force during investigative / law enforcement duties. https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/dodd/521056p.PDF?ver=PIvIb3eht0obgolnD0UCEw%3D%3D
This document is replacing the previous policy from 1982 under president Reagan which is very similar but with less detail. https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/dodm/524001r.pdf
None of this looks unusual or inflammatory to me. Would you rather the DOD NOT have written policies limiting the use of force?
The book is OK, not one of my favorites, but it's definitely got a lot of B5 in it. I found it in the used book store and had to buy it! Has anyone else read it?

I added more hard drives to my windows PC to dual boot as a test, then added another drive to actually play since I was enjoying Linux. My third OS isn't bootable any more. What have I done wrong?
Started off with Windows 10 on a SATA drive with an M.2 drive for more data.
Added a 2Gb NVME with Debian - this has become my daily driver. I haven't been to windows more than a few minutes a week.
Added another 250Gb SATA drive to test and play with another Debian install so I don't break my daily driver.
Tried today to boot into the test OS and It's just missing from GRUB? It doesn't show up as a bootable drive in my UEFI BIOS either, though the drive itself is seen.
From KDE Partition Manager in my daily driver Debian, the drives are:
/dev/nvme01 - the daily driver Debian
/dev/sda - the Windows OS drive
/dev/sdb - the windows M.2 drive
/dev/sdc - the test Debian drive (not booting)
I would appreciate help. While there's not much on that drive, I would like to continue my playing around.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Lathe Ladies, Mitre Mates, and Plywood Pals!
I've been tracking my kids' heights on a wall for several years but I'd like a prettier solution. Something I can screw on the wall and mark their heights on (maybe temporarily and then go back with a wood burner or something). Ideally, sometime that's two identical adjacent pieces that I can give them if I'm ever lucky enough to be a grandparent.
A straight 7' board with a cutout for the moulding and burnt or painted 6" increments is the simplest solution, but can y'all think of anything nicer? I would prefer to keep it on a semi visible wall instead of the laundry closet.
Thanks friends.
We're last minute people, maybe a week in advance without air travel, a month with. A family friend just invited us to join them on a vacation NOVEMBER 2025. That seems bonkers to me!
How far in advance do you plan a small trip like a road trip or visiting family, and how far in advance for a big trip like international travel, a cruise, or Disney?
Hiya,
My local library summer reading challenge has a few items with which I could use y'all's help.
Read a book with a musical theme.
Read a book outside your comfort zone (I read mostly novels, and mostly sci-fi).
Read a book by an author from a different cultural background. (I'm a white American and I've already read Three Body Problem)
Read a book suggested to you.
I would appreciate any suggestions!

Hello ladies (current and former) of Lemmy (current) - I'm curious how your experience of the male gaze has changed as you moved in and out of young-woman-hood.
How has your opinion of being seen changed through this process?
My parents raised me to always say "yes sir" and "no ma'am", and I automatically say it to service workers and just about anyone with whom I'm not close that I interact with. I noticed recently that I had misgendered a cashier when saying something like "no thank you, ma'am" based on their appearing AFAB, but on a future visit to the store they had added their pronouns (they) to their name tag. I would feel bad if their interaction with me was something they will remember when feeling down. This particular person has a fairly androgynous haircut/look and wears a store uniform, so there's no gender clue there.
I am thinking I need to just stop saying "sir" and "ma'am" altogether, but I like the politeness and I don't know how I would replace it in a gender-neutral way. Is there anything better than just dropping it entirely?
For background I'm a millennial and more than happy to use people's correct pronouns if I know them!
My D&De campaign wrapped up at level 20 after five years of regular play, and we are playing some one shots and stuff as a break before we decide what to do next. The D&D DM volunteered to GM again.
I think it's only fair that we players try to run some games to give the GM a break! I played in a FFG Edge of the Empire game for a few weeks many years ago with a different bunch, and had a great time. I bought the beginner box, which has four characters built, maps, an adventure, and the infernal dice. We will have five players, but one of our members played in my previous game so he can probably re-use his old char.
It's a fairly interactive system, requiring creativity from the players and GM to use the Advantages and Disadvantages in cinematic ways. I'm hopeful this bunch can do it. I didn't think any of them were particular Star Wars nerds, but I can keep Wookipedia open if I need background info on aliens or something.
Any tips for a new GM running through a beginner module, or on adapting this game for an extra player (might just NOT), or in running EotE in general?
Thanks in advance.

We Got This With Mark and Hal determines the best Monopoly token of all time - this is legally binding forever
I was listening to a back episode of the podcast We Got This with Mark and Hal while cooking yesterday, and Mark Gagliardi went off on a rant about Georgism. Fun coincidence to see this new community the next day.
I've circumnavigated the audiobooks with Patrick Tull quite happily, and only recently picked up the first book (and #8 FSotW) at the used book store because I want to represent my shipmates on my bookshelf. I'm a big reader generally, but hadn't read this series because I pretty much only buy my books at the used book store, and one can't control what one finds. It was a joy to visit the music room at Port Mahon again, and it occurs to me be to ask:
How do you prefer to follow our friends Aubrey and Maturin?
I'm not entirely sure if this game fits the theme of the sub; I just came across y'all accidentally.
This is an interesting android game that uses stereo sound to "display" a 2-d environment through which the player moves by swiping on their phone. There's nothing at all on the screen. As a sighted player, it's quite a challenge for me to focus on this method of interaction. I'd be curious what other gamers, sighted or otherwise, think of it.
