Blondihacks. Genuinely some of the best machining videos for a small hobbyist I have seen, I look forward to every weekly episode. My dream is one day to recreate a small fraction of her things.

Haha, it sure does look like that. But I think the one is just a lens flare, it goes above the hair. But looking that close definitely gave me toupee vibes

Maybe someone here can advise. I ran two of the available “checking” scripts to see if I have any packages installed. Both came up with 1 package I have installed. It is gtkimageview, which is on the list.

However, if I look through the pacman.log I see it was installed on 2024-10 and last upgraded 2025-01. It seems to me that suggests I installed it before this all started, so I’m probably not infected?

I latent agree with that for all of his books, except for the Dark Tower series. I actually think the Dark Tower series is pretty good. It’s very different from his other books though.

The cake version slaps hard. I love it

I really really hope this is the case. The thing that probably drives me nuts the most right now is rebooting and having to reorganize windows across two monitors and six desktops.

Spam. When it comes out of the can, it looks like a disgusting gelatinous blob. But when you cut it thin and pan fry it, it’s actually pretty tasty.Pretty much any canned meat. Ever seen a whole canned chicken? Although most canned meat doesn’t taste nearly as good as fresh. But there really isn’t a “fresh” spam. So I think it fits the question. https://c8.alamy.com/comp/CW0NEJ/luncheon-meat-on-plate-CW0NEJ.jpg

It’s been a while since I’ve used TrueCrypt because I switched over to Linux and used Luks. But I thought everyone had moved to Vera Crypt. Is that no longer the case? Just curious, Since I haven’t read much about that world for many years.

Mormons believe that their children are pre-selected in the pre-earth life, so the children chose to come to that family in their theology.

Any chance you’d be willing to share some of those configurations? Especially the wireguard one. For some reason I have the hardest time getting something working to connect to wire guard using tasker when I leave home.

The others I’d love to see and learn from also if you’d be willing to share. Thanks!

I’d be up to try Mysterium. Looks like it could be fun to sit and play with the family. Appreciate it either way. Happy holidays!

Wait, are lions part of the nativity? I don’t think I knew that

I haven’t looked extensively, but for the past ten minutes I’ve not been able to find any article. About 20 different news stories to say the same thing, but none of them actually link a peer reviewed published article.

I would like to know where you could reasonably buy a blue whale. That would be amazing.

Yeah, that’s good advice. I actually knew the book had something to do with that. But after the first chapter or two, I did go back and need to review some of that, as it’s been a while since I’ve taken a philosophy class. And I’m glad I did because some of the chapters I’ve read now I think made a bit more sense with that fresh on my mind.

I have been reading Anathema by Neal Stephenson. I’m about a fourth of the way through and it’s been great. I’ve read two or three of his other books which I’ve really enjoyed. Cryptonomicon became one of my favorite books. But so far this has been up there as something that may top that, it’s been pretty good so far. I hope it ends well.

Not exactly the same, but suggests probably it would not turn out well. https://thebrain.mcgill.ca/flash/capsules/histoire_bleu06.html

I’d love it you’d name a few. I like games you can get lost in for hours and always looking for others I may have missed.

My father went to high school with someone whose last name was Butts. His parents named him Harold and called him, and thus his friends called him, Harry. I always kind of thought it was a tall tale until my father showed me his high school yearbook one day And there was a picture of Harry Butts.

I always kind of wanted to meet this man and his wife and ask her if he lived up to his name.

I’ll enter for God of War, I watched a few YouTube videos of it with my son and it looked fun and a good story. Thanks for this idea, it’s fun. Good luck to everyone.

Something that made me happy this year: my son tested into advanced math placement at school and I still can’t get over how amazed I am with the poor genes I passed in to him. Couldn’t be more proud as it was something he wanted and of his own choosing spent extra time practicing math. Don’t know how I lucked out, but he’s pretty impressive to me
