I called 911 a few years ago and they had a police officer call me back when he got to my neighborhood. I had to do this a few times as the incident repeated a few days later. Each time the officer called me his number was hidden.
That’s the only time I’ve ever had a call from a hidden number that was not a scam, but I would be hesitant to block them all
That also makes it illegal to nuke hurricanes
It’s not a dad joke unless it’s apparent
Also an old fart, also love XFCE
I am a longtime fan of Debian Stable, for exactly that reason. I installed the XFCE version using the custom installer about 8 years ago and have had very few issues.
Initially my GPU wasn’t well supported so I had to use the installer from Nvidia, forcing me to manually reinstall the driver after every kernel update. That issue has been fixed in recent years so now I can just use the driver from the Debian repos.
I installed the unattended-updates package about 2 years ago and it has been smooth sailing since
To my untrained eye it looks like raspberry. Raspberry plants propagate through underground runners, which just look like any random stick
I have some bad news for you - any random idiot with a driver’s license and a two-ton death machine already puts your ass at risk, all the time. We call it “traffic” because we’ve just gotten used to it
Everyone I know who has had a skunk spray was due to one of two causes:
1). They ran it over with their car or 2). Their dog attacked it
In general skunks are very reticent to actually spray. I’ve never known anyone to get it from just walking by. I knew someone who blocked a skunk with their shoe from running in the house, because they mistook it for their cat.
From what I understand, they have poor eyesight and hearing, so in my experience they usually don’t even notice you. They are a wild animal though so the important thing would be to not surprise them. I think if you make noise, keep your distance, and never corner one you should be fine.
I’ve seen some commenters say they messaged her but got no reply
“Three economy” really means “rich people’s money” and the filthy rich have been doing just fine
I find that people often say this when what “it is” is something too ugly to name. “It is what it is” is true, but sometimes what “it is” is that the speaker is a racist defending another racist
What a world we have created where “we won’t have to work anymore” means “we’re all doomed”
We could be creating a new utopia, but we know the people in power will hoard every scrap
I came to the comments to mention that exact experience. There must be historical reasons that SCP uses -P and SSH uses -p but I certainly didn’t expect it since they’re both from the same package (openssh)
Shelled and unshelled both also mean unshelled and shelled, respectively
The banana is one of the earliest cultivated plants. It is specifically cultivated, by humans, precisely to be the best fruit possible.
Bananas rule, and we can thank their creator: 10,000 years of human ingenuity
Oh, baseball! That makes much more sense.
For some reason I had assumed it came from tabletop gaming, where your model’s base much touch another player’s base in order to whisper to them
I’m losing friends for loosing dogs on useless losers’ loose use of lose and loose
I was just thinking about this earlier. Technically, helicopter comes from helico, meaning circular, and pter, meaning wing. So quadcopter should logically be “quadpter”
I love Gaslands. I usually lose, but I spend the whole game grinning (and occasionally making tire squealing sounds with my mouth)
But it can only target humanoids
