I'm putting my face in the hole and being like "the whole world is about me. Also Japan is just red earth.

I'm switching between Blasphemous (stuck on the final boss) and Rivals of Aether 2. Either I've gotten worse at rivals or the player base has gotten better. I used to hang around the gold/platinum rank border and now I'm struggling to stay in the middle of gold.

or enough precision to hit something irreplaceable.

Haven't they been doing that? I can't remember where I heard it. But I heard they were mostly targeting storage tanks until they talked to a petrochemical engineer. They told Ukraine that there's some critical bit that Russia can't manufacture and they've been targeting those as much as possible since.

Her husband is the guy that was paying sex workers to bimboify him btw. Not kink shaming, I just feel it's relevant.

Outer Wilds taught me that it's actually quite easy to fly into the sun.

Other companies. We like to think that companies need end consumers to have at least some money to buy their stuff but that's not true. Theoretically, an economy could self-sustain entirely with businesses and no end consumers.

I mean, we were also talking about girls

under the Military Code and under general law, no military officer can obey an order that is not legal. Basically, it completely prevents Trump from issuing a legal order to invade Greenland.

Nothing is stopping him from issuing an illegal order and his generals would be in more hot water by disobeying it than obeying it.

Any military is purpose built to remove individual autonomy. The ones who rise to the top are the ones who most believe in the chain of command. The idea that one of our generals (who have been purged during Trump's second term) would disobey an order is laughable to me. Maybe every modern president has used the military in a way that is illegal according to US law, a treaty, or both.

I worked there during the pandemic. Summer 2019 to summer 2021. I never heard about any reforms but a lot was happening around then and I'm sure I missed a lot.

One thing that did change during the pandemic was that my company went optionally remote. Working from home was even more unheard of in Japan than in the US before the pandemic so that was crazy. And they even reduced the number of desks in the office so they couldn't have all the workers in at the same time. A lot of US companies have since rolled back those policies. No idea if my old company stuck with it.

I know them from frequent guest spots in Dropout comedy shows. Very funny person with big energy.

 

A while ago I decided to get an extra m.2 drive and put Linux Mint on it to try and switch off Windows. I unplugged the original drive, plugged in the new one, put Mint on it, then put the old drive back in. This has allowed me to dual-boot. However, Ive since fully committed to the Linux drive and haven't used the Windows drive in a long time. How do I put Linux on both drives?

I would like to fully encrypt both drives since I dont think I did that when I installed Mint. I would also rather have the original drive as the main drive again because I think it's in a faster slot for the motherboard. Is there a way to make this change without a fresh install? I could probably backup most of my important data to a flash drive but I'd rather not. (I'm fully ok with losing everything on the Windows drive though).

 

I'm a tournament organizer for a local Smash tournament. We normally host our brackets on start.gg. However, the site is pretty unreliable. Occasionally, we've had to run the bracket on challonge.com instead. Recently, the venue wifi was having issues and we almost had to run it on our phones which wouldve been brutal. Every alternative I can find is either web-based or is commercial software for big E-sports events. I just need software on my laptop (I'm running Linux Mint, the other TO uses a MacBook) that can generate a double-elinination bracket based on a seeded list of entrants. After that, it should be able to track the bracket progress over the course of the event. This seems like a pretty simple concept but I haven't been able to find anything.

 

I recently switched my desktop to Linux mint. Overall it seems to work well for me. The one exception is that my password manager, Keepass, won't work. I currently use Gdrive to sync the database between devices. It works very well for this purpose. Is there another way I can sync this file as seemlessly as Gdrive? It would to work for an Android phone and Mint PC.

 

This channel normally posts board meetings and short progress updates on specific sections of the project in a pretty dry way. This is the first time I've seen them lean into a more engaging method of getting the word out.

 

I find it disgusting that they feel the need to appeal to their importance for economic activity. Safety should be a worthy enough goal to maintain such a lightweight organization. Trump says he wants to bring industry back to America. With moves like this, it's clear the actual intent is to keep workers subservient and expendable.

 

I want to make the switch but I want to test run first before fully committing. My PC has an M.2 SSD. I was thinking I could buy another one, swap them out and put Linux on that. In an emergency, I can swap the SSD back. Does this seem like a viable/sensible path toward Linux? I don't really have too many files on my PC that I care about. I don't want to dual boot. I did that on a laptop back in the day and it was annoying.

 

Dan Gelbart is a rich Canadian guy who made his millions building machines for other companies. Now he has a money-is-no-object shop to mess around in. I particularly like the video going over his lathe/grinder combo that he designed and built. The spindles and ways are on air bearings and it's incredibly precise. Also check out his video on flexures where he shows off a simple water jet part that allows 25x resolution for you measurements or positioning.

 

Game starts at 4:05. He entirely relies on game audio to play the game. Street Fighter 6 has good accessibility options that he uses to help understand the game state.

 

On the Beehaw local page, it's filled with posts from the Socialism community. On my subscriptions page, it's filled with posts from a 196 community. I'm glad Lemmy is getting communities that are gaining traction, but I don't want my feeds dominated by a few communities. I'm not sure if this is a Lemmy issue, a Beehaw issue, or a Thunder issue. Anybody have any ideas?

 

Pictured is mainly the shoe unit and backing plate for a CNC internal grinding machine. The quill sans wheel is on the right. The single point dresser is mounted to the shoe unit. This is a picture taken before re-fitting this grinder to grind taper inner ring bores. This grinder wasn't meant for that so I took a picture for reference while we discussed what modifications were needed.
