  • gray ball, about the size of a typical dodge-ball.

  • Featureless, sexless "humanoid"; like a "suggestion of a person" or a "fuzzy shadow".

  • Round table. Nondescript. Most similar to one of those tall, small round tables you find in pubs. But again, featureless.

  • Nothing happens when the human pushes it. The human can't push it because the human has no physical form.

I think it differs a bit from province to province in Canada, but where I'm at, you can either work 8.5 hours with a half hour lunch, or 9 hours with a 1 hour lunch. It's up to the employer. 15 minute breaks are paid, but not guaranteed (if it's busy). Lunch breaks are unpaid and mandatory.

Similar to you, but I can't remember if it was a potato.

Like others, ive had things go down the wrong pipe before; everyone has. But this time it was completely blocked; no air in or out.

I live alone, so it was the scariest moment of my life. By the time I was able to dislodge it enough to breath by slamming my diaphragm down against the edge of a counter enough times, my eyesight had already begun to go dark.

Thought for sure that that was it for me right there.

JT just needs to announce who's on the list and I'm willing to bet we'll see why exactly PP doesn't want a background check done on him.

Didn't say anything about auto-updating. Just can't be bleeding edge and use proprietary drivers, that's all. Other (AMD) use the open source drivers, so they don't have that issue. And that's great. But if you use the NVIDIA propietary drivers, you can't race ahead of them.

That doesn't make the drivers bad; they work perfectly fine; and have far far far better performance than AMD. There's just the trade-off that you can't be bleeding edge when using them.

You take the good you take the bad you take them both and there you have...the facts of life.

You're argument that drivers are bad because you can't fuck around with your system without them breaking is disingenuous. If you buy a brand new Wacom tablet, and it turns out that it's too new and the Kernel doesn't support it yet, or no one has written a patch to get it working, you don't claim that Wacom is a shit company. It's just a fact of life that you have to wait for either the kernel to update or for someone to get a patch working.

But when it comes to NVIDIA...holy shit... WORST, period, COMPANY, period, EVER!!!! And that's just hypocritical.

That, good sir, is a Swiss Army Knife.

This is a pocket knife.

This is a combat knife.

and this is a hunting knife.

Pierre Poppinfresh's name is likely top of that list.

If anyone would be able to tell the difference between a "combat" knife and a fucking "pocket knife", you would think it would be the y'all quaeda brigade of Trump supporters. But the fact that they'll buy this shit up in droves despite knowing damn well it's not what it's advertised as just points to how brainwashed these cultists are.

The point isn't to get Trump into the Whitehouse; it's to get Vance into the whitehouse.

Trump will legitimately kick the bucket within the next four years, guaranteed. And Vance will be the one to take his place. Vance will be the one who is suddenly an "incumbant" backed by the heritage foundation who is actually reasonably well spoken, able to debate, far smarter than Trump, and younger.

Vance wasn't "chosen" by Trump, he came as a part of the deal with the Heritage Foundation to get him elected.

Don't give your credit card details over the internet.

Nowadays people have them saved in their damn browser for convenience.

He doesn't give a shit. He firmly believes that the fix is in and regardless of what happens, he'll just win with slates of fake electors from trump states, or failing that, the court. He (and his people) don't honestly believe that the actual vote means shit.

And the sad reality is is that he's got a good shot at being absolutely right about that.

Just a super quick question about helping to update the map locations.

Between StreetComplete and Organic Maps, which is faster for submitting recommended changes to the OSM team in regards to things like business hours, etc...

I can't even imagine writing long form on a touch keyboard. But with a lot of people eschewing laptops/desktops for their mobile devices, it's really just a matter of time.

Just immediately reminded me of this gem from a while ago.

Does Jerboa's search function only work for communities or am I don't something wrong?

On the web, as well as other apps, a search brings up the choice between communities, users, comments and posts.

Haven't been able to make that work on Jerboa.
