Instructions unclear. Sees hole, unzips...

That wasn't the question though. They asked..

"What's going on by the Burger King?"

From what I can tell, it's a hooker on crack blowing some dude dressed as the King, while fighting off a family of raccoons..

Oh that's an easy one.

If olive oil is made out of olives, then baby tanks are made out of uteruses, obviously.

I don't even have half an idea what all foods do or don't contain gluten, but I am still almost equally inclined to call out people just plain out being nasty, especially in a public space where they're about to exchange paper cash.

Like shit, I totally respect paper cash, but FFS, try to make sure your hands are clean when handling or exchanging money. And definitely don't be literally eating food with your bare hands right at the register before even paying for it.

Our park is mostly a water park for kids at the front, with a couple pavilions, and a boat ramp and senior citizen center in the back. So yes, it's not an official dog park, but unofficial its accepted as one by pretty much everyone.

We keep him on the leash when there's lots of people or other dogs around, but on days when the park is practically empty, we let him roam free and burn his calories.

He was abandoned for like 5 months out at the park before we decided to adopt him, so most regular park visitors already know him. Police officers approve, they even helped us adopt him.

He's a medium size dog, and mostly chill, just sometimes playful. He's never hurt anyone.

Of course that's not true for all dogs though, hence why we're very careful regarding what sort of days we might let him roam around off the leash.

Even though the woman proved to be a Karen, the cashiers working the store that day totally understood why I was upset. If only they had or enacted a policy of don't consume any products in the store...

As far as the dog on the leash thing, we're about 99% in favor of that, only exception being when we take our dog out to our city park, where we adopted him from as abandoned.

Brownie knows every inch of the park and I feel it would be wrong to not let him roam free occasionally when there's not many people or other animals around. Those sort of days are few and far between though, so 99% of the time he's on the leash.

It means sex on the beach is allowed, but only if one of you is about to drown. Everyone knows this.

My response might be sligtly convoluted, but I'll try to keep it simple. It relates to allergies.

For me, I am extremely allergic to oysters, and largely also allergic to shellfish. I'm so badly allergic to oysters that I cannot be in the same room as someone else eating them, the smell alone makes me gag, my eyes water, and makes my bronchial tubes swell where I can't even breathe.

I however am luckily not allergic to peanuts. Regardless, I totally understand how potentially deadly a peanut allergy can be to those with the allergy, and if I'm in a public place around strangers, I tend to assume that anyone around me might have a peanut allergy.

Last year, I was in line at a gas station, and the woman in front of me waiting to pay had bought boiled peanuts. And she was fucking shelling and eating the peanuts while waiting in line, the bitch couldn't even wait to pay for them, with cash, and exit the store first.

I called her out on it, and even pretended that I did have a peanut allergy, and what she was doing was not only nasty, but also a danger to others handling her peanut juice covered money.

She proved to be a Karen and not give a fuck, but I did speak my mind, on behalf of people that could possibly fucking die over her nastiness and carelessness.

A surgeon is just someone that stabs you back to life, so why not knock some sense into people's heads, that's gotta be healthy right? Right?

Please mark NSFW, this is turning our cat on..

 

They really probably weren't supposed to install those outdoors...

 

I'm not sure what I think about the white on white background though, I might one day open it up and use a black marker to color in the Roman Numerals for better contrast.

Sorry for potato quality, Lemmy kept timing out so I had to reduce photo quality to knock the image size down.

 

Let the votes fall where they may, upvote if you like AI, downvote if you don't..

 

I've been testing this OS for a bit, but I'm having trouble where drives are shutting down prematurely, as if the power management is too aggressive when it comes to external USB drives.

My USB hard drive will shut down on whatever timer Linux is using, despite my VirtualBox machine actively using it via Shared Folders. I have to use the Linux host and Caja to wake the drive back up. Like what the hell?

My USB DVD drive will spin up stupid fast to buffer a lot of DVD video, then Linux spins the drive down and turns it off. Then the next time it needs data, the drive has to spin up stupid high speed again, causing the video to freeze frequently while the drive spins back up, way too fast no less for the task. Why not a simple consistent speed and keep the drive running while watching a movie? VLC if that matters, on the host Linux.

Is this a power management configuration issue? Are these somehow the same issue, or are they two separate issues?

What should I do to resolve/reconfigure?

 

I heard you folks like cassette players around here..

Yes I put it in the trash at least.

 

I can't find that episode, the camera burned up, did anyone else get footage from a different angle?

 

Similar to how the term 'digital' has shifted from doing numeric calculations and storage to how it's used today, referring to content you purchase and stream or download from the internet.

Terminology changes over time, and I'm not sure that I like some of the changes. 🤷

 

Hypothetical/sarcasm of course. I'll start...

'Please do not flush your fetuses until after 10pm. Thank you, Management'

 

I've got a whole bucket full of old hard drives, CDs and DVDs, and I'm starting the process of backing up as much as still works to a 4TB drive.

It's gonna be a long journey and lots of files, many prone to being duplicates from some of the drives.

What sorts of software do you Linux users recommend?

I'm on Linux Mint MATE, if that matters much.

Edit: One of the programs I'm accustomed to from my Windows days is FolderMatch, which is a step above simple duplicate file scanning, it scans for duplicate or semi-duplicate folders as well and breaks down individual file differences when comparing two folders.

I see I've already gotten some responses, and I thank everyone in advance. I'm on a road trip right now, I'll be checking you folks recommend software later this evening or as soon as I can anyways.
