I like @fartographer@lemmy.world’s better. 😊

We’ve been coddled all our lives. We as a country need to have to affect us personally to wake us up to it. And when we wake up, all hell will break loose; for that I’m sure.

Yeah that doesn’t mean anything. It’s common (and lazy) to make the one error message for both first and last name.

Chipotle Mexican Grill, which operates thousands of U.S.-based stores, faulted consumer weakness for disappointing sales…

There ya go. Blame the very people for something that’s not their fault that you depend on for your overpriced luxury foods, clothing, houses, and yachts.

~That sounds like a good strategy to win them back.~

Leprechaums

Aren’t those the cheap Temu versions of Leprechauns? I heard they arrive broken; if they arrive at all.

Back in… (counts on fingers)… early 90s… I used to take typewriter classes in Junior High, and we would do ascii art right before holiday breaks.

It also outlined how one instance in which Ms Zwerner allegedly told Ms Parker that the child was in a "violent mood" and had made threats against another child.

Ms Parker allegedly "had no response" and refused to "even look up" when concerns about the child were brought to her.

Ms Parker's lawyer argued that she could not have known what would happen, and that Ms Zwerner has exaggerated the extent of her injuries.

Could not have known? Despite being told the child was making threats to other students?

And exaggerated the extent of her injuries? She was fucking shot by a 6 yo. What’s to exaggerate?

Wasn’t this an episode of Dexter?

Hm. This is a great question.

I have always been a chatty guy, despite it sometimes causing me grief of one kind or another. While I don’t specifically have memories of conversations with my folks (when I was young), I no doubt had them.

That said, I’ve also always been a widely misunderstood person (at least to my mind); I never seemed to conform to people’s expectations (even today to a degree). I have developed severe trust issues because of this, especially among my ~~family~~ bloodline; as such, I have cut off all communication with everyone on my side of the family* — even if they never actually hurt me (sorry Egg!!).

* By this, I mean I do not talk to anyone older than me in my family (I am the youngest); I do however go to great lengths to talk to my children every day; even if it’s about nothing in particular. I also do not shy away from sharing stories of my childhood, or how they’ve affected me, as I firmly believe that they deserve the truth, and also should learn from my (and my family’s) mistakes. Suffice it to say, I do believe that my children are doing much better in life than I ever did when I was their age, so maybe it’s working.🤞

Beautiful! Thank you!

 

My 12 yo has recently gained an interest n learning to skateboard. I have a board already, but its trucks and wheels are rusting out. I would like to replace them with new ones, and I wanted to ask what would be good (economical) trucks and wheels to get?

The current trucks and wheels don’t have any branding information that I can see.

I have always gotten sore exactly two days after a workout. I just joined back to my gym, and had an intense workout on Monday. Today I would’ve made a penguin look like a prima ballerina with how stiff and sore I was/am. Thank deity for hot showers. I’m not looking forward to Friday. 😅

 
Why YSK?

Because a lot of older games require immediate response from the controller (think jumping over pits).

Each TV is different, and may or may not have a game mode. For the longest time, I thought my lag was because of my Raspberry PI (model 4, 4gb). Turns out that turning on the game mode/game optimizer was all I needed. I also added a link to a post that has suggestions for Retroarch changes that can decrease input lag. Relavant content from post:

  1. Set max swapchain to as low as possible, I think 1 and 2 run pretty similarly.
  2. Turn on hard gpu sync and set it to 0
  3. Set frame delay as high as you can go before you get stuttering. On the pi 1, I can go to about 8 with NES core and 4 with SNES. On Pi 3 you can probably go higher, but systems with higher graphics like N64 and PSX won't let you go as high before you run into problems.

And:

(when asked where the settings are) You need to access the retroarch rgui menu while you are in a game. You can do this by pressing X button and select at the same time. Once you get to the rgui menu, you want to click on settings, then video.

 

John Morales, the actor who played the crime-fighting cartoon character McGruff the Crime Dog, was sentenced to 16 years in prison stemming from a 2011 arrest in which police seized 1,000 marijuana plants, 27 weapons – including a grenade launcher – and 9,000 rounds of ammunition from his home.

 

Why do I get a sense that maybe the Breen could be related to the Ubese?

 

For anyone who doesn’t know, a clock movement is the mechanism that causes the hands of an analog clock to move around the clock face. The “with pendulum” part means that it also swings a weight back and forth to act as a fancy second hand:

Now, there exist clock movements that are “smart” and are network enabled to adjust the time automatically. I’m also okay with an atomic movement. The idea is to adjust the clock twice a year for DST. However, I am having a difficult time (no pun intended) finding a smart/atomic movement that also supports a decorative pendulum.

I was hoping to enlist y’all’s help to see if one exists and where I might find it.

Edit: add comments about atomic clock movements.

 

Surely the Founders can understand, right?

I’m watching S7E20 right now and the entire scene before the Defiant undocked from DS9 had that cinematic vibe you only get from a bonafide Hollywood movie.

 

And if that is too vague, here is some more context:

~I have a sneaking suspicion someone will still figure it out.~

 

I waited for deeper into the episode and cut the closed captioning in hopes of increasing the difficulty.
