This isn't mild. Please post to the correct community next time.

Because how is this uplifting? It's in the wrong community and should be actually be removed.

I can imagine this as a Norm MacDonald line.

Your choice as Valve here is to either delist or not be in Russia. It is easy for me, as someone not in Russia, to cheer Valve to fight the good fight. But, it would suck if I were in Russia and suddenly lost access to my games.

Three, actually. They never got around to making 1-3

 

Please, delete the bs political, actually infuriating posts, mods. If you need help, I'm willing to volunteer.

I'm pretty sure it is a joke, that the client always refers to everything as "Pan".

Why? Because he remembered some old movie and is curious about it?

 

The other day, I was listening to LL Cool J's Mama said knock you out, and I mentioned to my wife that there was an odd version I recalled from when I first heard it on the radio when it came out. The one radio station would play a version that included trumpet fanfare during the refrain, presumably because of the weird aversion to playing straight rap by some stations at the time. However, no matter how I search, I cannot find any reference to this version. Could this be something the station itself added? Does anyone have a clue about where I could find this? I don't think it is a better version, I just wanted to prove it existed, lol.

 

Looking at what's available, is there anything worth getting in this bundle or is this a easy skip? I have not heard of any of these games.

 

I decided to go with Linux mint for my laptop. After installing it alongside windows 10, it won't boot into either. If I reboot from my USB stick, it says that maybe it's too far away from the start of the drive to be detected. But I believe there is some intel /hp stuff that includes some kind of boot that might also be interfering. Does anyone have a good way forward from here?

I have an old laptop that I use as a Minecraft server as well as running RPG campaigns during game night. I'm getting tired of Windows 10 and I'm looking for a good replacement. I don't have a lot of experience with Linux lately, the last time I did anything with it was maybe 10 years or so ago and I used Ubuntu, which I've read here is maybe not a good choice any longer. Stats of laptop are below. Recommendations are appreciated, thanks.

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4800MQ CPU @ 2.70GHz 2.70 GHz Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.8 GB usable) Graphics Card NVIDIA Quadro K2100M (2 GB), Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600 (113 MB)

 

There is an "actually infuriating" community. Go use that for political and other terrible things happening in the world. That is not the purpose of the community. All of that is important but not the point of this community. Go post where it belongs and let me have a break from it here.

I think I'm up for actually being a mod here if help is desired. I've not done it before but am willing to help if needed.

 

Growing up, my dad would point at any boat he saw and said "Yadja boat!" As we grew older, it finally occurred to us to ask what that meant, and he said that "Yadja" meant "there goes", so we all had a good laugh that he was just saying "there goes the boat" for years.

Time passes and the Internet becomes commonplace. I cannot get a translation of "there goes" that looks anything like "Yadja" even accounting for not really speaking the language. Asking Dad, he doesn't know how it is spelled and, being born and raised in America, doesn't really speak/read Polish.

So, my questions: is there a word in Polish that sounds kinda like "yadja"? Does it mean "there goes"? Is it some sort of slang or is it completely made up by dear old dad?

Edit: thanks, all, jedzie it is! It might not be the word that he should have used, but at least we have the answer to what he was trying to say, lol.

 

Actually infuriating things are so far outside of the purpose of this community. When I want to read about the terrible things happening in the world, I go read about them. When I'm trying to take a break and refresh my mind, it is aggravating that I'm still forced to view these issues in my fun communities.

If we aren't going to outright forbid it, could we maybe at least enforce a tag, something like [RI] for really infuriating stuff so that it could be more easily filtered out?

 

I can't find the option, if there is one, to report posts that are breaking a communities rules for example.

 

I remember MoonMoon playing this a while back. You start in the darkness with a random weapon. Only the area around you is lit. You eventually encounter AI controlled opponents who also have random weapons. You can chop off each other's limbs.

 

I've used Freemind for a long time, but I'm wondering if there is a recommendation for a more modern version of this? Trying to install on my new PC, it claims me version of Java is old.

 

For almost the entire time I've been using Thunder, my default view has been by subscriptions. I'm not sure if something changed and this got deleted, or for new feature was added and didn't taken to account the subscriptions, but I'd like to set it back to that being my default view.
