They used to years ago, but the one they supply is ancient and doesn’t really work anymore.

I have to use acrobat for some work stuff (it is the only pdf reader I can find that lets you do highlights, add notes, and use custom stamps. I’ve tried a ton of open source options and they are all surprisingly missing some subset of those features). I use playonlinux and there is an older acrobat version from there that works. I can look to see what my desktop shortcut is later.

… time passes …

Yep, mine works as you are wanting. It’s acrobat dc and it’s from a 2016 version. It’s fairly stable to run, but will freeze out if the blue every now and then. So save often.

The exec piece is:

/playonlinux —run “Adobe Acrobat Reader DC” %F

Maybe this can lead you down a path that works. There is a web version of some adobe tools but I found them to be pretty bad when I tried them.

The US shifted from agriculture to a manufacturing economy during then industrial revolution. Then as manufacturing moved globally, US shifted to information economy. I think the big question is: what’s next? Because the answer seems to be not much, and aiming to keep the status quo going is going to really harm US economy.

It’s pretty regularly this cheap, but worth it. Fun game!

In a thread like this a long time ago someone recommended Nail’d Steam page

It’s typically 0.99 and just a silly, fun racer. It’s fun to kill some time on.

The killer app for steam deck for me was emulators. I played through some Zelda games (windwaker, OOT via ship of Harkinian). And some Pokémon. What’s nice is for emulators the battery life feels near infinite, and you can hit the power button for instant sleep. Makes picking up games on down time really easy.

Last recommendation is outer wilds. Played great on the deck and the controls are good.

That’s basically how I make my pot of black beans. I just add in some epazote if I have it and cumin. The main trick I’ve been using lately is 1 lb beans to 7 cu water, and then after the pressure cook, I quick release and set it to simmer (sauté setting) for 5 minutes to cook down a bit. I add in olive oil and the salt at the end (after the release, before the simmer).

Steam deck is insane for emulation. I ran wind walker at higher res and full screen and it was great. The best part is the instant sleep button to just pause things down at any point.

Op wants a steam deck.

What’s sad is that you’re not wrong, but the quality of university writing has degraded so much that just writing something mostly coherent is fairly good. It’s in some ways a breath of fresh air from the monotonous tone of LLMs that we get for every assignment.

Also, I think it’s just a short article reflection and not a paper. The rubric made it seem like it was a short assignment.

This brought back intense flashbacks of floating through bramble!

What was your ratio roughly? I’ve found you need less peanut butter than you think and more jelly than you think. When it’s right it’s usually a nice mix of sweet and salty. However it’s of course not for everyone!

So ground on any implemented circuit is not constant and will have some variation physically where you probe. The schematic abstraction assumes every node is connected with zero ohm, zero length connections but this is of course not the case.

I think what this is showing is that the ground node for this device is noisy and will fluctuate as it is trying to deal with the current spikes. It’s probably relative to the expected ground.

I’ve not ever seen this drawn like this before, but have read about the phenomenon in a few different texts.

 

When I drink traditional, Rosamonte Especial is my favorite brand, but I don’t think its complex flavor carries well to cocido preparation. Curious what brands people would recommend?

My method for cocido:

  • 15 g yerba into a ceramic pot
  • 550g hot water [varies, but I’ve tried 175 up to 190 going into the kettle, without too much difference]
  • Sit for 7 minutes
  • Strain and pour.

I started doing this as a way to extend a bag of yerba, and ended up enjoying it more than I expected. I tried La Merced monte y campo, and it seemed to work fairly well in this tea/cocido method. What else may work good?

 

Happy cake day for this community! May your matching networks be forever well tuned!
