There is a trick to bypassing the Israeli defenses. Just make sure what you're doing will be giving the unhinged leader of the genocidal regime a casus belli to launch a war of conquest that they can sell as a defensive war, and suddenly you'll find you can do anything.

Just pull the plug at that point.

But it's an Apple keyboard.

It's not about being forced to do all that, it's about being forced to do all that so early in the morning in such a rush when most people would rather be sleeping. I hate mornings when I am at the office, but the WFH days are infinitely better because I get a lot more sleep and get to move at my own pace and do things at my convenience. I still have breakfast and brush my teeth, I just don't have to do everything in 30 minutes.

"and then and then and then Piper sat there and threw her leg up and started licking her own butt and threw up behind the bean bag"

That sounds fun honey, what else did you do?

It's the painting and detailing that can be quite expensive and time consuming. You obviously don't have to paint your minis, but that's the entire point for a lot of people.

You're looking way too deep into it. "Sleeping with someone" is such a common expression that nobody can possibly hope to obfuscate anything with it. Everybody knows they fucked. There will be no mistakes, no confusion. Besides, it's not unusual for different contexts to use different phrases and expressions for the same thing. The press using a "softer" language is not a uniquely American thing by a long shot and it's kinda weird to assume it would be.

Not an American either btw.

They are wholly independent from the protocol or interface. Ghosting is an electrical issue that is a result of keyboards being a bunch of switches arranged in a matrix. It makes the keyboard's controller register an extra keypress in certain conditions. Nothing to do with how the thing communicates with the host computer.

Key rollover issues can be related to ghosting. The limit for it is once again the keyboard's design at the circuit level, not its communication protocol.

Really they're both related to how cheaply built the keyboard is. That's the only thing.

I am partial to autopopile.

I recently finished Left Hand myself. Had me thinking about it for sometime afterwards. May or may not have subjected innocent listeners to a few unsolicited tirades about a society who never had a concept of gender.

I'm currently on The Dispossessed, continuing along the Hainish road. Le Guin is really something else.

The Fifth Element depicted a straight up utopia where gift wrapped Milla Jovoviches fall from the sky. I do not need any more than that.

Sorry Boss, can't come in. The half-eaten apple lodged into my exoskeleton has become infected.

 

Hello,

I've just recently unpacked my new Dell P3421W monitor. I was like 80% sure there would be no Linux support for the proprietary piece of software that manages the monitor's features, because that sorta stuff is hardly ever built for Linux for some fucked up reason, but I figured I could use my macbook (for which there actually is support) or the monitor's own nipple menu to do stuff. Turns out the macbook version does not work properly on Apple silicon, and the nipple menu doesn't have all the things.

I know it's a long shot, since google hasn't helped much, but would anyone here know if there's a way to go about it? Maybe there are existing tools?
