  • I can understand that you don’t have those in Canada, but there should be other options right? Maybe contact support?

    I think you’re on the verge of understanding the problem. You’re so close. Just trust that the guy you’re replying to isn’t an idiot and you’ll finally understand.

    Sure in the Netherlands you have options. But other places aren’t the Netherlands. Different countries have different options, but Visa, MasterCard, and PayPal work pretty much everywhere.

    Edit: Completely unrelated, I’m munching on some licorice Mentos I found in the Dutch section of my local grocery store here in West Michigan, and I just want to thank the entire population of the Netherlands for the wonderful things y’all have done with licorice. No one likes it here, so no one bothered. But the variety your country comes up with for this stuff, it’s fantastic.



  • Update: The psychiatrist who looked at her said she had too much weed -_- . I’m really disappointed in the doctor but she had finally slept and sounded more coherent then

    There might be something to that. Psychosis enhanced by weed is not unheard of. As I’ve read, weed has been shown in studies to bring out schizophrenic symptoms in people predisposed to it. Not that it causes it, just brings it out in some people.

    I say this as someone who loves weed and consumes it frequently. Just like any psychoactive chemical, it’s going to have different effects on different people. We all know alcohol causes psychosis all the fucking time but we just roll with it.




  • Maybe. I suspect it will be much better than last time.

    Processing power is much better now than in 2006. Back then it was about having some blurry transparency and lots of light beams and lens flares and shit, because it was easy to layer that over stuff. This is going to be more about refraction at the edges and clarity in the centers, with frosted looks as background when needed.

    I am hopeful, it looked mostly good in the WWDC video, with only a few examples of poor legibility that hopefully will be ironed out.

    I’m personally ready to move on from the flat look as long as it remains cleaner than Frutiger Aero. I miss having depth in my UI.

    I feel like it’s easier to tell English speakers to make an “eee” sound with their lips and then pronounce the vowel in question (ä, ö, ü) with the rest of their mouth (at least that’s how we do it when we sing in German, I know choral German doesn’t always line up with proper German pronunciation).



  • I don’t know if this will work on brambles, but for pesky root systems I’ve had luck with Bonide’s Stump and Vine killer. You cut near the base of one of them, then paint the exposed stem with this stuff. It absorbs into the root system and kills all of it. Works great on pokeweed.

    Edit: Turns out this is just a specific brand of triclopyr herbicide like MoonMelon mentioned. So here’s another recommendation for triclopyr!



  • From Dungeon Crawler Carl:

    I grumbled a bit about that three in intelligence. Yeah, I never did too great in math, but I never considered myself a slobbering idiot, either. I could fix most anything electrical after studying it for a bit. My friend Billy Maloney, now that guy was an idiot. Just last week we’d come out of a bar, and he’d peed right on a cop’s bicycle while the cop was giving someone else a ticket for drunk and disorderly. That guy deserved an intelligence of three, maybe two.

    . . .

    After I complained about my intelligence score to Mordecai, using the Billy example, he said, “Intelligence told you that bike belonged to a police officer. Wisdom told you not to urinate upon it.


  • Uh… didn’t this happen like 7 years ago when they stopped using intel chips?

    I think they were still releasing updates for the non-Apple Silicon Macs, which meant Hackintosh was still possible.

    Also why not just buy a pc to do this diy-adjacent bullshit? Not like you can’t get Mac equivalent (or better) hardware for literally the same price these days. It’s not 2004.

    That’s what a Hackintosh is though. It’s running Mac on non-Apple hardware.
