I thought it would be interesting to have a negative space golf course, where the entire thing is hard packed sand, except for the rough which is slightly looser sand, and instead of sand traps you have Grass traps, where it's just a small area with uncut 6-12" tall grass that you need to shoot out of.

Well, sure some things may look fine now, but when people.get that old it only takes one thing to throw them.off the rails.

Both Biden and Trump are at risk of the same thing because they are both old as fuck.

President is a 4 year job commitment.

When my grandpa was 86 he was perfectly healthy and gardening outdoors and doing living independently in his 2 storey house.

By the time he was 90 he was practically in a wheelchair and confined to one level of his house and unable to go outside to his backyard.

My grandma was at that point from 64-68

People over 55 should not be allowed to run for president.

I'm concerned about both Biden and Trump viability in office, as many people are..just because you complain about Biden doesn't mean you support Trump.

Yeah I'm Canadian, our system works fairly similarly. We vote liberal or conservative, but the leader can be different depending on the party vote.

Our Trudeau could still decide to not run for PM next election though if he decided not to run.

Your party can't tell you to lead the party if you weren't voted in as part of that party since you didn't run at all.

If only leaders could step down before the inevitable loss for the good of their voters and their party.... Cough Biden... Cough Trudeau... Cough

A replacement candidate wouldn't have been an issue if they held a primary, which didn't happen because Biden decided to go along and try and be president until he is 86

Everyone always disparages the cost of public transport but how much does it cost to maintain these highways every year? A few dozen/hundred billion dollars across the country?

Probably old enough the parent thinks they'll be fine on their own for a bit, but young enough to be a hassle to bring along on a "short" errand.

[-] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago

Thanks, I might do that. Didn't think it would be that easy.

Seems easier than Asus product support which is just a giant train of text-laden webpages bragging about themselves and nothing really helpful in getting support. Have to create an account just to contact live support online instead of calling...

Kind of want them to send me a new one though so it costs them something and their hostile website design fails to save them money lol

It's because Democrats don't worship Biden as some Jesus reborn patriot whereas Republicans worship a literally prideful, envious, slothly, wrathful, greedy, gluttonous, and lustful old man as some Jesus reborn candidate.

They are the cables that connect the PSU to the GPU, and it came with this messed up one and two proper ones, I am assuming that it's a manufacturing defect.

The manual is literally only 1.5 pages (in English at least, it's an actual book with seemingly every language known).

The 1.5 pages only point out the power input for the PSU supply, the on/off switch, and the special button for the fan. It doesn't even show the layout for the other side with all the plugs.

Can't say I'm terribly impressed with ROG right now.

Just bought a ROG STRIX 850w PSU and it came with this monstrosity of a cable that I've never seen before.

The two ends are entwined between eachother in a way that you can't un-entangle without popping an end piece off

Is this an actual real cable design or is it mis-manufactured? It offends my sensibilities.

Someone I lived with temporarily kept the processed parmesan cheese (the dusty stuff in a jar) in the cupboard instead of the fridge. It baffled me.

Hello,

I am looking for some advice to help me out at my job. Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask.

So, basically my boss is a complete technophobe and all of our data is stored across multiple excel files in drop box and I'm looking for a way to change that into a centralized database. I know my way around a computer but writing code is not something I have ever been able to grasp well.

The main issue with our situation is that our workers are all completely remote, and no I don't mean work from home in the suburbs from a home office. They use little laptops with no data connection and go out gathering data every day from a variety of locations, sometimes not even cell coverage.

We need up to 20 people entering data all day long and then updating a centralized database at the end of the day when they get back home and have internet connection. It will generally all be new entries, no one will need to be updating old entries.

It would be nice to have some sort of data entry form in drop box and a centralized database on our local server at head office which pulls the data at the end of each day. Field workers would also need access to certain data such as addresses, contact info, maps, photos, historical data, etc. but not all of it. For example the worker in City A only needs access to the historical data from records in and around City A, and workers in City B only need access to records involving City B.

Is there any recommended options for software which can achieve this? It needs to be relatively user friendly and simple as our workers are typically biology oriented summer students, not programmers.

What companies will you never give another dollar to?

What happened that put them on your blacklist?

Just trying to check "unread messages" despite no notifications indicating there are some, just to refresh the inbox and make sure there's nothing in limbo before notifications appear (not sure how the technicalities work).

If there are no new messages the app crashes. Can make it crash multiple times in a row. Works fine if there is a notification and unread messages present.

Hi, me and my cousins had a good thing going for a long time playing Catan but we are looking to shake things up. We have played Catan regularly for over s year, but find that it's getting a little stale. We are looking for a game that requires a lot of strategy, planning, teamwork but also betrayal and backstabbing, yet also not take half an hour to set up and dismantle.

In Catan we love that the board changes every game and therefore the strategy, but found that once we got to the castles and knights expansion there was one strategy that beat out all the rest which sort of deflated the fun (first person to get science bonus seemed to win 90% of the time).

Any other board games out there for beginners that don't take forever to set up and put away? Not huge into role playing, but never say never I guess.
