Since we all went remote, my job has been holding different virtual events we can join like a book club, cooking club, and some other stuff I can’t remember but this makes me wish we held a tabletop game now! I’m picturing how it would go based on this, but safe for work lol

I’m surprised his body was intact as much as it was. Too many cartoons/TV for me, apparently.

I rewinded a few times because I wasn’t totally sure what I saw. Everybody’s body language says it all.

Crazy to think we’re at a point where we can think about remastering VR titles. This game came out in 2017. It’s nearly 10 years old…

Maybe because it’s very colorful. It is one of more colorful shows I can think of, of cartoons, especially ones made for adult audiences.

I was curious as well and found this article online about ancient locks and keys https://imperiumromanum.pl/en/article/keys-and-locks-in-ancient-rome/amp/

Every new change they make just makes it worse than before.

Also when will they fix the bug that causes Teams to auto close?? Getting realllllyyyyyy fucking tired of not getting messages to find that the damned thing closed itself. This has been happening since March.

If you don’t like fighting enemies of a higher level than you, you’re better off holding off on that quest and focusing on other quests or doing side quests like the bounty missions and gaining more XP to get closer to that level 30. It’s going to be a while to get up to that point, but you can do like the other person recommended and adjust your difficulty if it’s not already adjusted.

Light spoilers, but the Freestar Rangers quest lines leads into a massive battle at the end and has a lot of challenging enemies, or maybe they’re not so much challenging as much as it’s a giant horde you need to deal with. You’re going to likely want to level up some more so you won’t have too many issues on that last part.

There is also some strategy to be had here. Stock up on a lot of resources, both ammo and health fortifying and healing resources, to help give you the best shot. Also consider what companion you take with you and what gear they have. Find the best suited for battles and best gear to share with them.

Kia dealership promised me one for my 2023 Niro Hybrid when I bought it brand new. The saleswoman helping me get accustomed to it after signing the papers helped me download the app and then showed me the feature. A few days later, that feature mysteriously vanished and I was now being told my specific trim wasn’t supported for it.

I just had this thought today lol. Either that or loading some malware onto the phone that executes on USB connection.

There are or were some mods of communities/admins of instances (not sure which they were, probably admins can only see that) who have taken action against users who downvote in their communities. I’ve seen both situations of mods taking action on users who downvote every post in a community and also against users who downvote once in their community. Say that to say, some mods/admins will take action over downvotes.

I’ve never had one so asking others, is there any way a dry cleaner would take it and clean it?

 

It’s been quite the journey in finally getting to see one.

All my life, I had never heard an owl “who” until a few years ago and it was so cool. Better than I could have ever imagined. I love all types of birds. We have a lot of hawks in my area that I love seeing often along with the other birds everyone is quite familiar with. Seeing them glide above and hearing their screeches is such an awesome experience.

Back in school, we did dissect owl droppings and even glued the skeletons to form a complete rodent skeleton on a piece of paper.

I have found owl droppings here too.

Then there was one time when we to let the dogs out and they were making a ton of noise. In the trees, I could see a big brown bird with a huge wingspan silently move from one branch to another to get deeper in the darkness of the small forest. I searched everywhere in there for what I knew was an owl but couldn’t find it anywhere. I had never seen such a massive wingspan or not hear a single thing. Not even a grip of tree branches or rustle in the leaves.

Then yesterday I let the dogs out again and they ran into the dried up pond and I saw a massive wingspan yet again go from the dried bed of the pond to a group of trees above. There, I finally laid eyes on this amazing creature. I had never seen anything quite like it before. It stared right back at me with very faint but bold yellow eyes. It turned its head to see the dogs who were making a ton of noise to my side then back to me. I could tell it was quite scared of us and so I backed away to give it some space.

As we backed up, I saw bones and a rabbit’s foot with its fur still intact. Looks like we had disturbed a meal, or the ending of the meal. I got some pictures, but they were quite blurry and far off.

Then today, as we went down again, I saw it perched on top of an old metal fence, very low to the ground. I tried to quietly get the dog to come back but he couldn’t hear me. The owl saw him and flew off into the trees above. Here is where I saw it more closer and I could see more details so clear.

This picture does my experience justice. (Not a shill, but I got this with the Adobe Indigo app I just downloaded today and it greatly helped me take a much clearer picture that was far away.)

I’m so in awe of this nocturnal bird. I didn’t want to scare it anymore than we already have so I’m going to try to be more gentle in the future as much as we can. I feel lucky to caught it as the sun is going down and as it is beginning its own day.

There’s a massive nest in one of the trees and I’m thinking that might be its home. May even be a mother or planning to settle here with some new owls of its own? I’m hoping so. We have a bad rodent problem here and these owls are so beautiful and graceful. Would be a welcome exchange, in my opinion.

 

wtf I actually like being put on hold if this is the music I get

 

This is the kind of shit that makes me embrace piracy more and more.

Years ago, we bought this software that specializes in something we do at work. Super specialized software but met all of our needs. Expensive at $600 per license, but it was supposed to be for “life”. So we figured it was worth it.

Until we upgraded to Windows 11 this year because Windows 10 won’t be supported after October this year.

We upgraded the computers (yes, we bought multiple licenses of this, some even as late as last year, so only got a few uses) and didn’t think twice about it. But after upgrading, this software now shows as unlicensed.

No worries, we kept our licensing information in an event like this. Oh, it doesn’t recognize it. Oh, their specialized number changed too! Wtf alright, well I’ll just reach out to their support for help.

Their support is super slow and not just because they’re on the other side of the world. I have to usually reach out to “sales” to get someone to actually help me. Days later, they respond saying that we need to pay for a “reissuance” of the license because the OS changed.

Huh…?

It just upgraded! It’s still the same computer we installed it to. Wtf dude. How is this fair?

This is like your car’s transmission going out while still under warranty and the manufacturer denying a warranty replacement because the tires and color of the car changed. Yes, the VIN we gave the car is still the same, even the license plate is the same…but yeah, we won’t honor this without you paying us because it’s fundamentally a new car now!

Go fuck yourself. Truly.

This is not a new computer. This is the same computer. This is a new update that we didn’t necessarily want but we have no choice in the matter. You can verify that your software has been installed here since the day we activated with your license.

No pirated version exists for this nor would we use it since we’d get in trouble for it. But man, this is the kind of crap that deserves a pirated copy because this is absurd. I can understand being paid for your hard work and trying to avoid people skirting around paying you for each computer they install to, but this is overdoing it. You’re now being greedy and double dipping. No other software we use has this problem. And $600 is a bit much when you do this kind of crap. Even if you are only charging partial for “reissuance”.

 

Must be dying from a lot of people leaving. Who doesn’t know about Reddit nowadays??

 

Couldn’t sleep and went for a drive. 711 guy locked the door and posted a sign that he was taking a break just as I was walking up to the door so I turned around to leave and began leaving the parking lot. I look off to the side and see this weird looking cat but it’s not sitting like a cat.

Pulled up beside it and shouted out of my car “hey what are you up to?” The raccoon just looked up at me and I took this pic lol.

Truthfully, this was my first time seeing a raccoon (alive). I only ever see roadkill or glimpses of them scurrying off at night. So this was kind of cool for me.

 

It’s imitation lobster I bought for salad but thought I’d try this today because I wanted a sandwich and wanted some “lobster” too.

The lettuce is fresh from my backyard. Best thing I did this year was buy this 6 pack of lettuce plants for like $5 and have been using it ever since for sandwiches and salads.

Also added avocado and Roma tomato. And then added mayonnaise and siracha mayonnaise for the spread. You can see some of the siracha mayo on the lobster on the side.

Very delicious and definitely recommend.

 

Sorry if this is not the right community to ask this, but I just wondered this today.

Users often think of Linux as being more complicated to use than something like Windows or macOS, but I’m sure there are plenty of things made easier in Linux than the other two more common consumer OSes.

What are some that come to mind for you?

 

I got a new AIO cooler and needed to also move to a bigger desktop case.

So I moved all of my internal components from one case to the other and also removed the old AIO and installed the new one. Besides that, I might have damaged my PSU in the process so I had to replace that too. It wouldn’t turn on anymore so I just replaced it this morning.

I tried booting into Windows and it went to a BSOD saying cache_manager was the problem.

I tried to get a recovery in there and Windows tried to automatically repair drives but kept coming up on this same error.

I created a KDE Neon live USB and booted into that. Zero issues. I then manually formatted my Windows OS disk in KDE and also removed the Windows bootloader. Basically trying to start from a scratch system with no Microsoft any.

Still getting the BSOD, even with the Windows 11 USB installer I created from their creation tool. I am able to get to that purple screen in the installer and see a cursor to move around with my mouse. That’s the part in the Windows installer where you tell it what edition and which drive you want to choose. But after a few moments, it errors out to a BSOD.

Now I’ve actually went ahead and installed KDE Neon to my system. I use it on my laptop, but I need Windows on this computer for work (it’s my personal computer I game with but also use for remoting in for work).

I’m going to try redoing my USB as a new Windows 11 installer and see if that goes through, but wondering if there’s anything else I can do for this? Anything else to try?

 

I say “recently” in a relative way, more so countries that have split in the last century. Places like North and South Korea, Taiwan and China, former USSR states, etc.

Has enough time passed that these countries separated have major changes in their languages yet?

 

This shit grinds my gears so fucking hard.
