I used to do “one one-thousand, two one-thousand, etc”

But then found it was better to so l switch it to “one-thousand one, one-thousand two, etc” because then the count matches the time closer. In the first, when you say the count, you are actually one second earlier. Eg, “two” marks the end of the first second and the start of the second one. But saying the number after (one-thousand, steamboat, mississippi, or whatever) means you can just say the number you last said for an accurate second count.

Woah, why am I getting such a clear sense of deja-vu from this comment?

Plumbing issues? When I had one of those at my last place, it just had an attachment for the tap to get the water and another hose that drained into the sink. My current under the counter dishwasher is the exact same setup, it just taps into the inlet and drain under the sink instead of over it. The only physical change to the pluming was replacing the tap nozzle, which I put back without issue when I moved out (might have even given them a new screen when I did so).

I bet early adopters will just end up with a robot that mostly just lives downstairs, occasionally making it to the top, but usually failing on at least one stair before it gets to the top and loudly clattering to the bottom before going to sleep for an exponentially increasing time (so that people can use the stairs between attempts).

So what? I’m tired of shit aimed at the lowest common denominator and won’t comment as if I need to appeal to or be understood by those who can’t be bothered to learn a bit about things that play a major role in society.

They are tired of hearing about linux? Well I’m tired of hearing about whining about windows, plus I blame their inattention for enablong the enshitification in the first place because windows would be much better if more people were willing to look at alternative options. A lot of shit would be better if that were the case.

Though usually I don’t bother engaging at all and only really engage when there’s pushback saying it’s hard (I found it less effort overall than installing windows and getting it to a state where I don’t hate interacting with it so much), or these kind of arguments that imply because it’s not as accessible a lot of people, it shouldn’t be brought up or something?

Yeah, “just use Linux” is equivalent to “I’m tired of hearing about windows shit” and a bit more polite than, “HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA”.

Fyi, it wouldn’t necessarily be better with a binary if you are missing dependencies, since it might have dynamically linked libraries (I’d say it probably does but tbh I’m not sure whether dynamic or static linked libraries are more common with Linux programs shared on the internet as my experience there is more with building them for work stuff rather than downloading and installing).

Times like this are an argument for why it’s OK to occasionally reinvent the wheel.

I think it was mainly a design decision about wanting the game to get harder as you progressed instead of easier. Which I have mixed feelings about because divide and conquer where it starts hard but gets eaaier as you clean up can be very satisfying, but factory games can scale in ways that would make it more trivially boring.

Don’t the trees already help by absorbing some amount of pollution? If tree is gone, it stops absorbing, thus pollution rises.

Well I’m counter suing because when I got served with your lawsuit, it gave me the nastiest papercut!

There’s a lot of space between “just let them carry on with whatever” and “beat them like I expected to be”. Not to mention, “getting my ass beat by my parents” might not mean literally getting beat, but can be a metaphor for any kind of discipline (though I can see how it can fall into the uncanny valley since there were and are parents that would literally beat asses).

Yeah, part of it is to teach that they won’t get their way by annoying you into giving in. Helps in my case that I can be a stubborn fuck, too. It means I have to choose my battles because I don’t want to back myself into a situation where I make a choice, realize it’s not the best one, but feel like I have to stand my ground to combat whining. Luckily we’re past the point of tantrums and she’s old enough that I can explain my reasoning in cases where I say one thing at first but then later change my mind.

But there’s two other parts imo. One is teaching them the right way to express what they want (as well as when stating what they want might be rude or out of line, like if it’s in response to getting a gift that isn’t their top choice). And the other is being open and honest about the why. I only use “because I said so” or some equivalent to deal with the endless chain of "why?"s (though I’ve found deflecting it back at her is also effective, like “why do you think it is?”).

I can’t understand how such an obviously stupid approach to rasing kids even got off the ground to the point of general awareness. Any intelligent adult should be able to see how learning to take a “no” is an essential part of growing up. Same with dealing with negative emotions in general, which I understand the whole “never say no” thing is trying to avoid.

My daughter was taught how to take a no at a young age. It was a bit rough the first few times, but she quickly learned to take them in stride.

The water tasted like damp basement! Oddly enough, it was a kinda pleasant flavour.

There are seizures, but I think those are more akin to BSOD than updates. Though I bet epilepsy would be more fun if you woke up with new skills and capabilities after each seizure.

Hell, forget motorbikes, even bicycles would make it hard to justify horse costs. And I bet they are superior for range and speed (average, at least, not so sure about max, and obviously it requires a rider in good enough shape, but I think you’ll get there if you ride regularly, assuming no disabilities).

From what I recall horses require: * Training on how to ride a horse

Picturing you riding a horse that is riding another horse. Extended range upgrade?

Though on a serious note, there’s also the horse itself and its training (to be ridden and not freak out about things, training it to ride another horse or series of horses optional).

It was kinda funny, when I installed fedora a few months ago, the wired ethernet port wasn’t working at first (needed an update, probably because my mobo was pretty new) but the wifi worked right away. Not sure what I would have done if neither of them worked tbh.

Is there a good way to do this when you use a lot of terminal tabs and aren’t sure which tab you used for the command you’re looking for?
