“Here’s a recorder.”

-My step kid’s music teacher on the last day of school

Similarly, if you go back even further into console and PC gaming history you can find some game that use what, looking back, would be considered terrible control layout and/or gameplay mechanics.

You can just say resident evil.

Just get some of these

My stepkid had one of these exact ones. He pulled it out and the outside sleeve detached.

The internals on these are incredibly unsafe. There’s a very high chance you can rip it out, and the tines will remain plugged in, with nothing to grab onto to remove them. The tines themselves are only pinched internally by a weak little bit of metal to connect to the rest of it, not even soldered.

I’ve been forced to start calling these wall dongles by my fiancé, I made sure that in order to accept this terminology that wall warts with the cord attached are now dingle-dongles, and the ones with a cord before the electronics are dangle-dongles.

My neighbor is named Karen. She’s absolutely a Karen, but she’s my Karen.

She’s actually pretty nice and takes care of her neighbors, but she is all up in the neighborhood’s business sometimes.

Bob Vylan and Kneecap seem to be pulling their weight.

I had my partner put in the addresses of my *arr stack into their phone and showed them how to add things they wanted. They never close any tabs so all I need to say is what weird-ass unrelated name handles whatever media they want and I’m done.

All of my old phones work fine as the last time they were updated. My 10 year old Sony xperia z3c would be fine except for security updates and it’s only 3g, and the storage on it is quite measly. I still use it everyday for playing music, though.

Most of the speed issues are google bloat. Play services are absolute hogs, and anything that needs them will not work on this phone, but everything that doesn’t is perfectly fine. So I’m basically stuck with f-droid apps. Which is fine, because it’s a glorified iPod at this point

Same, I bought something years ago that amounted to something like $15.05, I had a $20 and some change so I tossed in an extra dime so I wouldn’t have to fill my wallet with singles and have a bunch of change in my pocket. Nope, cashier looked at me like I was stupid and handed me back my worst nightmare because they had to make up being short a quarter in dimes and nickels.

I was on a grand jury and yeah, it’s basically prosecutor/cop saying “they did crime” and as a member of the jury it’s your job to decide “is maybe possibly a crime did” so really you have zero information as to what happened, just a “trust me bro”. So the fact that this got shut down AT ALL is screaming Incompetent prosecutor, very competent prosecutor who knows its horseshit, thinnest case to ever be cased, or (incredibly unlikely) a grand jury who knows their shit.

Nursing in the early 2000s, CS in 2010s. I’m guessing whatever University of Phoenix is pushing, stay the fuck away from.

They also completely missed the point of the two additional cuts method and made the lowest cut about where the highest cut should be.

It’s pretty damn easy to get a technician license, there are many organizations that will do the test for free if the $35 fee is too much to spend on a lark. It allows you to push that button and there’s lots of cool digital stuff you can do as well. Equipment can get pretty pricey, though. As true as it is that every ham has a baofeng handheld (or several) they tend to really suck to learn how to use and it very well could hamper your enjoyment of the hobby if you want to transmit. Listening is fine on them, so if that’s all you want to do it’ll be fine.

If you do want to talk, I would actually recommend starting with GMRS, especially if you have family members you might want to talk to that wouldn’t want to get their own ham license. You buy a license instead of testing, and the equipment is basically just locked down ham radios and if your handy, you can use the right old commercial equipment and reprogram them for GMRS use. The community is a bit more newbie friendly since your license extends to your household as well and kids are more common, and a large portion of the community are hams as well.

I don’t do any development, but my stepkid is starting to get into it, so I set up a forgejo container on my server. I had zero issues setting it up and now I’m planning on using it for my own purposes.

Wait, did they mess with lilo and stitch?

Check out the makemkv forums on drive advice. The gui makemkv should work as well, not so much anything relying on the command line tools (arm ripper, etc).

Handbrake is encoding software that works pretty well and can encode straight from disc.

VLC can also do it.

I have personally started dd’ing to iso then encoding the main feature from that for my server, and saving the iso separately just in case I really want to play those dumb dvd extra features and fbi warnings.

Ripping can be a pain, there’s all kinds of encryption hoops to jump through, and I have come across a few dvds that I just couldn’t rip no matter what I tried.

That’s called “doing management’s job”

Because 1 apple isn’t equal to 1 banana.

There was plenty of time for a proper primary, biden should have done like he said he would, and not run for a second term and made it clear from the get-go he wasn’t going for a second. There should have been primaries regardless. There’s no damn reason to not have primaries even if you can still run a second term.
