Nice. And anyway, no shade whatsoever to libraries, they deserve every penny they get. Absolutely fair to pay for replacements in my book.

If items are one month overdue, we will bill you for the replacement cost.

I mean... I get it, but that sound like a fee to me.

Was für coole Kostümideen ey! Hexe als Clown verkleidet - geil. Ich war Cowgirl (lange bevor ich wusste was "sexy" heißt), Piratenkapitänin, Walküre, solche Dinge. Lauter Kriegerinnen. Und das beste waren immer die Gadgets, und Pistolen waren die besten Gadgets, weil viele bewegliche Teile und eindrucksvolle Effekte. Mit dem Plastikring im Bild konnte man nachladen, ein paar Mal schießen, und dann roch alles nach Schwarzpulver, metallisch und rußig, und nach verschmortem Plastik. Absolut ikonischer Geruch, hab ich direkt wieder in der Nase.

Vielleicht bist du nicht zu weiblich sozialisiert um das zu kennen, sondern zu pazifistisch? ;)

Nie als Cowgirl zur Fasnet?

Das abgebildete Produkt heißt ja aber auch gar nicht Milk. Sondern Notmlk.

Yeah, the native functions works for most apps, but not discord unfortunately. But thanks alot for looking around! Will try your solution when I get back home tonight.

I'm using mint with cinnamon.

I did try to look for a solution online, found other annoyed users with the same problem and no solution, and kinda gave up tbh.

Maybe I do have to switch at least the DE in order to solve this, but at the end of the day it's really just a small annoyance.

The problem is that discord forces itself in front of every other window I currently use on the main monitor, twice, while it starts and auto updates. Manually dragging it away once it's open is the smaller annoyance compared to the distraction of having to switch back to my other application two times in a row. And I guess the only solution would be for it to start on the secondary monitor in the first place, so it could go and take center stage where it doesn't annoy and distract me.

Sounds really useful. I guess there's no equivalent on mint though? Tried to search for one just now, but then again I'm still a noob and could be looking for the wrong thing.

Still, not the first time I've heard about the superiority of KDE plasma. Thanks for sharing.

I can't for the life of me get discord to start on my secondary monitor.

But eh, you get used to it.

I’m not sure what you’re looking for here.

I'm trying to show you that your case isn't convincing.

If your book could logically prove something, or at least argue convincingly (logically!) in favor of it, maybe it would in fact be interesting. Then you could repeat the arguments here (and elsewhere, and scientists would be doing just that) and we'd actually have some kind of discussion with something to gain for both of us. Anecdotes are, scientifically speaking, basically worthless. At best they're used to create hypotheses, never to test them or to prove something. And even a great sum of them simply aren't science.

And I'm sorry to say but this very much reminds me of conspiracy theories, e.g. flat earth theory, were science is really clear about something while a few laypeople on youtube think to themselves "I bet all those researchers just didn't think of this, which to me on the other hand is completely obvious".

Your claim is absolutely extraordinary. You would have to present an absolutely powerful, convincing logical argument in order to even begin to support it. "Someone claimed it happened to them" simply isn't that, no matter how well it's written.

Out of curiosity I just checked if I could find it. I couldn't, which isn't surprising - a book isn't a scientific publication, so sources are rarely of great interest.

But in general: It would take hours, maybe days of work to cross reference the sources of a whole book with what the author claims they prove. Obviously I won't do that. How many papers from the bibliography have you read? If you own the book, at least you should have easy access to it's sources.
