Not gonna lie, he scared the bejeezus outta me. Like, I just happened to look before I would have sat down. Animal-enamas-and-even-vaguely-adjacent-experiences rank damn near the top of my NO THANK YOU list.

There’s a creek across the alley, but its also on the other side of a neighbor’s property. I was never concerned at where he came from or how, just surprised he made the trip unscathed.

My house has an OLD sewer connection. Gotta snake the tubs and sinks(and formerly the kitchen sink and washer connections) so often that I used a hole-saw to remove the cross-shaped bits that would normally hold a plug(and catch a bit of hair).

You’ll never guess what never comes out(any more) with our 50ft, 1/2-inch drain auger; Hair. Waxy stuff? Check. Black Goo? Check. Fricken YARN/threads from the washing machine on the other end of the house? Check. We’ve somehow got it down to where only the tubs need snaked regularly, but still, no hair any more.

I thought the whole house was sharing a 1.5-inch(okay, two inch) connection, then a few months back when there was flooding nearby, this bastard swam up our toilet:

Figure he needed at least a three inch pipe to get through without just getting stuck.

Best you can do is remove all funds from those accounts and have them lock them so they can’t recieve deposits or issue withdrawals. THAT, they can absolutely do.

Any data deletion will probably happen automatically or not at all, but there’s no incentive for them to retain any detailed transaction information beyond federal requirements, and yes, its seven or more years, depending on criterai like amounts and location.

Yeah … it wasn’t your site, it was my criteria and the ads changing just enough to be confused for results.

She’s an indisputable beaut, now that I get how it works.

Doesn’t work for me on Firefox mobile. Neither “mobile” site or Desktop versions. Hitting “Next/Enter” on my keyboard does nothing, there is no Submit button that I can see, and refreshing the page just resets all fields to defaults.

I don’t want an Intel with 4gb RAM and a 256GB spinning drive, and OS included? No dice, that’s what I’m offered. Without being able to filter results, its just another craigslist/amazon/newegg front-end … a less useful one.

EDIT: Turns out there are zero fanless non-Intel, 16+GB RAM, 1024+GB SSD/eMMC offerings with USB-C to list. Strange no-one is packaging an OrangePi 5 Plus like so, but I haven’t seen a fanless heat-sink sufficient to make that a good idea anyways.

I had tweaked some of the options, but without clearing either-or-both of those last two, especially “fan-less”, all I was getting was the five sponsored “results” the top, which changed just enough to make it seem like that’s all the results I could get.

I’ll my favorite songs by her, aka the only ones I can stand, are about enjoying/being okay being single.

This tracks. Give it a catchy beat and send it to the top of the charts.

Not meant to be profitable to viewers…

Secret Service needed to find out if he had any sponsors, accomplices, handlers, whatever.

In a sane world, they would merely be to prevent confusion at checkout, but there are legal issues/licenses involved for the stores, so no idea.

I’ve also never seen such a cordon encompass anything beyond liquor/alcohol though. Adult daipers and Pepto-Bismol or whatever would be one hell of a weird in-combination-with-liquor aisle. Might as well put the condoms, tampons, bullets and Bibles in there. Piss off everyone.

“Only while in use” counts when an app is allowed to run in the background as “in use”. Allow push notifications? That app is running in the background.

One would hope, but no, so long as the Super-Intendent gets his kick-backs, this is the shit that takes priority over all-else.

THAT is a fucking masterpiece.

I’ve decided I want one, just because NO ONE will question whatever mods I choose to make to it. The questions about why I bought it in the first place will never cease, but why make it as close to a DeLorean time machine as a fucking “truck” can look? Not a peep.

… having come up with the BTF thing just for this comment, I’ve realized: Backwards, its actually a good fit. Shame about what it would do to road visibility.

Joke’s on AI. It’s harder to stop us from outing ourselves.

Me too. Wish my wife would understand, when I’m being productive and … crotchety, its basically never because she’s done anything wrong, and forcing me to calm down is going to leave us all disappointed.

… and why would it? Again, I only set it up like so on the Raspberry Pi(2B iirc) due to hardware limitations.

Not that hard to stop wayland or xorg at the launch of a given application and restart it at that application’s exit. Of course, I only did it on the Raspberry Pi because the hardware lagged horribly running such apps with a gui/compositer/desktop the app wasn’t using in the background, but it wasn’t hard for me to get working, and its exactly how we did things with DOS apps and even some Windows games back in the WFWG 3.11 days.

Basically, there’s no technical reason the host operating system should have to be providing say X, KDE, Plasma, Gnome, Gk, Wayland, whatever, to a flatpack app that needs those things. Yes, the result is a larger flatpack, but that’s why flatpack’s do dependency consolidation.

Unless … Unless, you just really want to to run your games windowed with smooth window-resizing, minimization, maximization, etc.

The point of flatpack is supposed to be that it takes care of ALL dependencies. So you’re saying it doesn’t deliver on that promise?

Individual apps, particularly full-screen games, shouldn’t need “Wayland support”(quotes because what that means will vary between implimentations).

Now, if you have to install xorg on a system that doesn’t have it in order to play a game? Yeah that would suck, although games are on my personal shortlist of application categories that should always be run from a flat-pack/equivalent and/or containerized wherever possible.

Now I think about it, why don’t (anti-cheat)games just run their own VM’s and “calibrate” those versus any weird system variables? Seems like a better anti-cheat than hacking-my-kernel-to-make-sure-I’m-not-hacking-the-game…

I’m mostly so, sooo much worse in my dreams/nightmares. Dream me makes waking me look like a saint. A saint that has any idea at all what they are doing, and that’s a big ask vs waking me.
