Also Last Week Tonight

The original photo on X was posted by a wolf conservation nonprofit, so not a pet exactly

Too late for me. It’s been fine so far, but I’m also not really using anything new.

Honestly I’d go with gate or fence post then, something like that

That’s why I said a portion of one, I’m fairly sure that’s the top six inches or so that got broken off. What’s the bottom look like?

EDIT: A comment or above saying gate post might also very well be right. Whatever specifically, my guess stands on it being some kind of post of some sort.

This looks like a portion of a plastic-covered concrete filled bollard, something like this.

It’s things like this that make me mad copyright was extended so long. It was originally set at 20 years to prevent this from happening and encourage people to make new art.

Virtual Machine Manager is what you’re looking for I think

I’m very much not an expert, but I’d imagine it’s similar to how AES-NI works: the task is CPU/GPU-intensive until specific instructions are designed to do whatever blackmagicfuckery level math is required, and once it’s in hardware it’s more both power efficient and faster.

That’s not either scale being intuitive or unintuitive, that’s your familiarity with one over the other.

I got curious so I did some research on the definitions and why everything is this way. It looks like they originally picked the coldest thing they had (brine, possibly inspired by the coldest weather), the freezing point of water, human body temperature, and the boiling point of water. It was supposed to be brine at 0, water freezing at 30, the human body at 90, and water boiling at 240. Fahrenheit then recalibrated his scale slightly to make his math (and thermometer design and production) easier, and also because he noticed water actually boiled at 212 by his newly modified scale.

Looking at it like that work the context of what they had at the time and what they were trying to do, it makes a lot of sense.

What? Mostly Why though. IDGAF about Where nor How in this specific case, I’m just so confused.

The soda machine is still $1. This both supports the operation and lures the unaware.

If you have the opportunity, vote-by-mail is genuinely awesome also. I qualify in my state because I’m chronically ill, and it’s one of the few silver linings. I get a ballot in the mail every time an election happens like clockwork, I have time to do my research and it’s significantly harder to forget.

Unfortunately for you, you just lost the game.

If this counts as good marketing I’d advise looking for another career

I’ve installed Arch a dozen times at least over the years on various machines.

First off, some advice. People will tell you to watch videos or read some specific guide, and by all means do so to get an overview of the process, but I’d highly recommend double-checking everything against the official install guide. It’s fairly terse but contains everything you need to do, and if you research the topics you don’t understand you’ll learn a lot quickly. This is best done in a virtual machine the first time unless you have a spare machine laying around.

Overall, it amounts to creating the install medium, booting it, any post boot configuration (including networking), partitioning and mounting your disk(s), writing some config files and installing the base packages and a bootloader, plus anything else you may need or want. I’m glossing over a lot of individual steps and “anything you may need or want” is essentially endless, but you get the point.

Overall it’s involved but not terribly difficult. Like I think others have said, fairly similar to building a desktop from parts. Gentoo is a step up, and installing Linux From Scratch another few steps above that.

Assuming this is actually representative of the difference, it was definitely a pair of centipedes.

I’m not surprised in the least that at a minimum it’s more complicated than the meme suggests, and now I’ve learned far more about centipedes than I ever wanted to. Thanks!

Ok now I’m curious about what the fuck the two centipedes I found in my basement that I thought were fucking were actually doing. They sure looked like they were fucking.

Have you tried factory resetting?

I have some and use it occasionally. I think I did 50/50 by weight and that wasn’t my favorite, taste wise, but I was going for fiber content primarily. I might have to try 15% and see how that goes, given what some people have said.
