Wish the platform owners didn’t make enough money shearing sheep that they can use it to fuck it up for the rest of us.

Actually, it was a hackernews link originally.

But for some interest-based subs, I still stick my nose in a hoover up knowledge without contributing back. Considering I janitored about 30 niche subs before the appageddon, I think they’re net negative since I left roughly about when you did. I was probably replaced by a bot, so maybe they’re happier.

Well, we can’t make that. Too bad. Sounded useful.

They got railroaded by Bibi. It was blatantly obvious.

God bless the rains down in Africa…

If Churchill stored their garbage to keep it from bears, that was a recent thing. I remember driving out to the dump to watch the bears the couple times I was there years ago.

Seems like Philip finally pissed enough people off to tube the distro. I watched this same thing with Mandriva and another distro happen. It’s probably not going to end well.

I liked Manjaro and still have it running on some machines, but I can’t say I’m inclined to install it for a while now.

Honestly, that doesn’t look too bad. I’d say the plywood is filling in an area of concrete that was removed before. The smooth mortar stuff is self-leveling compound, the gray stuff is concrete. Is there any movement in the floor, and if you’re planning on putting down tile, then movement is the enemy. In which case, I’d say tear the concrete out and rebuild the rest of the floor with plywood, screwed to the joists that are presumably inspected and reinforced if needed. You’ll wreck a lot of stuff tearing that out, be warned.

If you don’t have time or money to do that, this could be used as is with some repair of the holes. Those cracks aren’t really a show stopper, and depending on the flooring you plan to use, you might not need to do anything about them. The concrete debris in the walls annoys the shit out of me, though. And I’d fix whatever you’ve got going on over by the toilet, that looks grim.

TY for your service.

Watch Will Prowse’s videos on the Lightning he owned. He was not a fan, and I think he ended up getting a replacement that was just as bad, and he finally unloaded it. And Prowse is a rabid EV-solar guy, but he doesn’t put up with shit. Can’t say I’d be in a hurry to buy one and I really want an EV pickup.

You know you want it, sweetie.

They’re so vague you end up in a long legal battle even in what looks like cut-and-dry situations. I don’t disagree with letting the courts determine culpability when it’s unclear, but some of the fights people have had clearing themselves of very obvious self-defence of themselves and their family are egregious.

Police just reflexively charge people because they don’t want to have to take responsibility to think. Do you charge a woman for stabbing someone that tries to rape them? She’s already been through that trauma, now she gets to spend the next two years in court.

That said, this is probably a Conservative MP and you have to know the legislation is probably daft in the other direction.

As for motivation to tackle that sort of thing, my Grandpa would say “Starting the job is half the job”. It’s kinda stuck with me so the only thing I think about is just grabbing something to start with.

You know by the time you’re done you’re going to have every tool you own on the ground beside you, so you might as well just grab something vaguely related and begin walking. You can make the rest up as you go.

Every time I get involved in something like that, I think of the Malcolm in the Middle episode where Hal starts to fix a light bulb and by the time he’s done he has the car apart because everything breaks along the way. Lois walks in and he comes unglued when she asks about the light bulb.

I have to fix the tools I use to fix the tools that fix the thing.

My hand-strained, teat-to-table beef milk? That cost $60/gallon.

Employing roofers is it’s own punishment.

Closest thing to streaming is Kodi + Umbrella + Premiumize (or other debrid). Search for Movies or Shows in Umbrella and stream immediately, once it scrapes and you pick a source/resolution.

I’d visit Grandpa long before I visited you.

Yah, if I didn’t raise them, I wouldn’t be enjoying steak very often. I just about fell down when I saw the price in the store. We’re doing well on price for live shipped cattle these days, but I can see why we had a lot of “family” looking for butchered halves this year. But not a lot of people want to chew off $3500 for a full half in one purchase.

Can’t spare the RAM for more pixels.
