Agreed, I am teaching my second son to read.
I am having the same conversations as when I taught my first to read.
“ok, this word is a ‘sight word’ because it doesn’t make the sounds you expect. It says won, but it looks like it says on-e”
Well it is nice to have a sign to tell me where to go. Weird that it is in the OB ward though.
It can happen, but statistically adult man vs adult woman is not a fair fight.
I knew a guy at university; started going out with this smoking hot girl. She was a regional champ in jujitsu; it didn’t last long, turns out she was a violent piece of shit. Beat him up twice, he left after the second one. She had major anger management issues.
But you turn that story around a little, similar situation, girl has same anger management issues, but without the training etc, she is unlikely to be a threat to any adult guy.
Search on DDG, maybe “Candling”
Candling : The process of illuminating an egg with a bright light to examine its contents.
That last line…deep breath…
I tried that and it works perfectly.
But it is kind of a crappy work around for a basic function.
Paste into stuff, no extra file created
Ctrl copies it to the clipboard…
Timer doesn’t work with an area, but works well for the whole screen
Thanks for the replies, on my work computer (Win 10) screenshot “just works” to capture an area with no change to the screen.
For years the built-in tools for print screen on Liunx was far superior to Windows, but this seems backwards now.
Linux: hey dude, you should probably restart…I mean it’s been months.
Windows: so imma just gonna nuke your work, ok cool.
To be fair I haven’t had a Nvidia card in about 4 years.
So things could have changed, but over the preceding 15 odd years, no other thing caused me more issues than Nvidia drivers. But I put up with it, that is what you had to do to get good graphics.
The AMD GPU I have now, has been great, no issues at all. I had chipset issues mainly on the new laptop.
Yep, really new hardware is still an issue.
My new Zenbook (AMD CPU/GPU) had pretty major issues until the chip family was around a year old.
Previous to this laptop, I always got older hardware when it went on sale (usually from Dell), chip sets and CPU’s that have had a while to “mature” I never had any issues with. Except of course with Nvidia drivers, those are always shit.
If you stick with older hardware, you very likely wouldn’t ever experience hardware issues.
I’ve been running various distributions at my primary OS since around 2006. Hardware support these days is amazing.
Single phase only
I used Ubuntu for years, but the forcing of snap really killed it for me.
Ubuntu used to be synonymous with stability and compatibility. It was always a little bloated and slower than a bunch of others. But that was the price for stability…
It is probably still stable but compatibility has taken a back seat. This is what really annoyed me enough to switch.
I’m on Mint now, it is really nice. Flatpak is much better than Snap, my only real issue is the MASSIVE size of flatpak downloads.
For a Windows user, Linux Mint is a nice alternative, similar interface and very stable.
Especially if you are mostly using browser based tools.
What is wrong with living in New Zealand an earthquake zone?
I hate that they were taken out. I rode on the as a kid regularly, it was always a little adventure when the driver had to reset the runners
It is a combination of this and the power of propaganda.
When you can control the information that people consume, you can have a huge influence over what they think.
If you can influence the thoughts of a big portion of the populous, you can create control structures. You use these control structures to move people into their emotional decision making more often. The more often you can keep people in their emotional decision mode, the easier you can control what they do.
The thing is, the easiest way to keep people in their emotional thought mode, is to pull the fear and anger levers. Keep people afraid and angry, and you can steer society.
The other problem with this is, the people who see through this kind of thing are not the majority.
The people who can see through the techniques, are not always the traditionally “smart”; but higher intelligence is certainly an advantage.
