It’s bad for sure, but better than said resources being used to kill Ukrainians

There used (1970s maybe) to be a brand called Camp in the UK which I think was a blend of coffee and chicory as a liquid that you added hot water to. Awful stuff as I remember it. It may still be sold there for all I know.

Famine! Pestilence! Locusts for sure!

What an idiot.

Thanks. I have hplip installed on my Pi (version 3.21.2) and my printer is listed as being supported on the hplip support page. That page says Support Level is "Full" and Connectivity is "USB, Network". So it seems that this should work; also the printer works fine over USB to my Windows laptops.

hplip seems to provide a number of command line commands with names like hp-probe and hp-firmware. I have not been able to get any of them to work over USB though; usually they return a message "Warning: No devices found on the 'usb' bus".

Do you mean that "proprietary firmware" is needed to make the printer work with Linux?

Why? Just Why?

Good work. I tried to do similarly with a HP CP1025nw (roughly 10 years old), which has become unreliable with Windows 11. But although I connected the printer to the Pi (I used a model 3B) with a USB cable, CUPS does not appear to see the "usb://....." connection string. CUPS does allow me to connect to the printer wirelessly, with a connection string that begins "dnssd://....".

So I have it working wirelessly but I was hoping to get it using USB since I suspect that would be more reliable.

I'm wondering why your Pi allows the "usb://....." method, but mine does not.

This may be a ploy for Trump to avoid the debates, since he knows he's likely to lose as in 2020. Biden refuses the drug test, Trump then refuses to debate....

Reading today that the indictment/summons has now been served on him.

The Arizona prosecutor’s office has been trying and failing to serve indictment paperwork on him for the election interference case in that state. Lying low it would seem.

South Africa have selected a replacements bench with only one back for one of the biggest games of the World Cup so far. It will get all the media attention this week but it’s a highly risky one in case they suffer an injury in their backline.

 

Has anyone seen information on how NBC is going to present the RWC? It's less than two months away but I could not find anything on NBC's web site; it mentions that they are the broadcast partner but not much else.

Wondering if some of it will be on NBC itself, some on Peacock and maybe some (at a price premium?) on NBC Sports Gold or something. I don't remember how they did this in 2019.

Hey everyone, a few pictures of cars always help to get a community going. This is my 2014 Cayman S, on Glendora Mountain Rd north of Los Angeles. Post yours!

 

Appears not to be on Flo or Peacock which are my usual sources

Enjoying the full sherry cask on this one. I had a bottle of the 15 year a while back but this seems just as good, for less money
