*Doo doo doo doo doo… *

I’m not sure I know this use of the term ethic, but it sounds interesting. Care to define or illuminate?

Having the bios able to see the disk, but a live boot can’t, makes no real sense to me. If a partition was messed up I’d get that, but to not even see there is a disk to partition, doesn’t feel right. I know it’s probably a dumb question, but you didn’t happen to be messing around in BIOS settings or something right? Is it possible you changed some settings a while ago but haven’t rebooted in a while, and this issue was waiting for you this whole time?

If you don’t have any other slots on the mother board to try the disk in, you could buy an external adapter for whatever kind of disk you have, which would allow you to use this thing as a USB drive. That should at least allow the live boots to see it.

Also also, is it possible you have two disks, and grub is on one and your data is on the other? Again, kinda weird question, but it’s a kinda weird situation…

I’ve spent a lot of time with Open Source Programmers and other nerds, including in person, and I believe at least some of the issue is that some of them feel grooming and hygiene is purely aesthetic, bordering on “shallow”. Like the way many of us think about Looksmaxxing or cosmetic surgery.

Like, you spend a bunch of time and money doing your hair or washing your clothes? That time didn’t improve your card playing, it didn’t teach you anything new. Shouldn’t people be judged by what’s inside instead of what’s outside? Shouldn’t people be judged by their skill or merit rather than their looks?

And I intentionally wrote that last one to feel borderline, because I think a lot of people do feel that way, and do believe those things, but not to the same extent. Their boundary for “hygenic enough” requires clean. And maybe the folks I’m characterizing don’t know that it’s actively unpleasant to be around someone who smells bad? Or maybe they’re so steeped in it they don’t know how bad it is?

Tangentially, this is one of the reasons some fem people struggle in these spaces. Any amount of eye-shadow, nice shirt, or hair-style is deemed as “superfluous”, and so any person who spends their time and money on such things is regarded with suspicion. They’re an idiot who wastes their time on looks at best, not to be trusted making other decisions, or a charlatan trying to trick lesser men with their wiles at worst. Those are the only two choices, because there’s no other imaginable reason someone could do these things.

On March 27, 2018, Tenor was acquired by Google. The company has continued to operate as a standalone brand.

Huh, well if you couldn’t see a way to make money with it, maybe you shouldn’t have bought it…

For me Jellyfin’s strength is that it can keep track of my wife’s place in her shows independent from mine, and also that the metadata and watched state and progress is synced between phone, tablet, and TV.

This city is actually in Canada, and July 4th isn’t important here. July 1st is, though, but it seems they wanted to close out the week I guess and change policy on a Monday?

Alright, hear me out: You’re washing your strap-on in the kitchen sink, and it’s prominently drying on the counter when you get stuck trying to get something out of the dishwasher!

It’d be madness if no one took advantage of this opportunity!

Poopin’ that D!

It is imperative that the tree not be harmed.

He just lost more money than I ever have in my whole life put together! What a loser!!! 😛

Sometimes even worse, which is to collect a raft of data testing one hypothesis, and then realize it all came up empty, and so go looking for any data you can form a new hypothesis from that matches the data you already have.

Hmm, I think all of your examples were examples of the teachers during prep, which is interesting, but not what I would have called “in the classroom”. I got the sense the article was talking more about it being in the hands of students, but maybe I’m wrong about that?

“May be doing more harm than good” but, honest question, is there evidence it’s doing any good in schools? I know I’m probably not going to get a balanced opinion here, but is the bad outweighed by good, or is the bad outweighed by neutral at best?

I’ve been sad lately, watching the creaky old mice shuffling around my yard, so it’s nice that there’s something coming down the pipe to help them regain mobility.

No no, those are fife drums

Fair fair, very important. What’s also important is that we get our prostate checked, and/or get some mammograms done.

Vaguely, because having 2 or 4 models that are static and always look good is actually a lot easier to design and test than a body that can be lots of sizes and shapes. Like, it’s more work to make an outfit 4 times than 1 time, but it’s also kinda easy work. Whereas making an outfit that can be any size and shape and still looks right and natural and doesn’t clip through itself, etc is harder.

But not impossible, so I agree if your game is going to have sliders anyway, and those sliders are going to allow extreme adjustments and not just “length of torso, circumference of boobs”, probably you’re going to have to take a lot of that into account anyway.

Even still, though, having a “bunch” of sliders can sometimes still not be enough to get from one body type to another. Like, the fact that you can’t start with the male body in most of these games and adjust your way to the female one, or vice versa, means there are properties that would need to be made adjustable that currently aren’t, in order to actually get you smoothly from one to the other.

I’m pretty sure the DJs in my area record a bunch of inserts and bits ahead of time, those get edited and sliced up, and then put into the playlist at the correct positions. So I don’t think they’re sitting in the booth listening to the music live, and then talking in between, like they used to anymore. So that’s probably how they don’t get bored, they didn’t even hear the music last Friday when they laid down the week’s schedule.

Wow, I had no idea! I just looked through the list of World Cup balls, and they only used that design, like, twice. But what an impact! I assume they had to get fancy afterwards because every ball started to look like that, so now it looked almost boring. Wild!
