Ferengi tooth sharpener?
(Actually, I agree with RobotToaster. Seems like a rasp or file for the inside of holes.)
Headlines like this are problematic. I think we can all agree that Trump has done a lot of damage to democracy in the US, but are rural Trump supporters really more dangerous than urban Trump supporters? That claim is suspect, and the article provides no evidence to support it (it provides evidence that most Trump supporters are rural, which is a totally different claim.)
And saying that white rural Trump supporters are worse than non-white rural Trump supporters is an even more serious claim. It's racially discriminatory, and seems totally baseless in this article.
The article has no evidence of these claims, and seems to indicate that the book doesn't even make the claims of the headline.
(I'm not objecting to the claims that Trump supporters are mostly rural and mostly white. That is common knowledge.)
Using a VPN (like Tailscale or Netbird) will make setup very easy, but probably a bit slower, because they probably connect through the VPN service's infrastructure.
My recommended approach would be to use a directly connected VPN, like OpenVPN, that just has two nodes on it -- your VPS, and your home server. This will bypass the potentially slow infrastructure of a commercial VPN service. Then, use iptables rules to have the VPS forward the relevant connections (TCP port 80/443 for the web apps, TCP/UDP port 25565 for Minecraft, etc.) to the home server's OpenVPN IP address.
My second recommended approach would be to use a program like openbsd-inetd on your VPS to forward all relevant connections to your real IP address. Then, open those ports on your home connection, but only for the VPS's IP address. If some random person tries to portscan you, they will see closed ports.
Pathfinder's compatibility is based on 3.5e, so DnD 3.5e homebrew stuff is likely to work with Pathfinder. 5e stuff probably will not.
Old Windows games are more likely to run successfully on Linux than Windows.
New Windows games supposedly run faster in modern Linux than modern Windows. I can't verify it, lacking a modern Windows installation, but tomshardware.com said it was true.
I am NOT ok with Biden. I'm going to vote for him anyway, because in the next term he will be less bad for Gaza than Trump would be. Even taking into account Biden's current genocide.
You know that stuff that appears on the screen before the operating system? That is the computer's firmware. Sometimes it shows a brief memory check, sometimes it has a silly error message like "No keyboard detected. Press F1 to continue." Sometimes it's just a big image of the motherboard's manufacturer's logo. That firmware exists independently of the operating system, and will run even if you don't have any operating system installed.
Most people refer to the firmware as the "BIOS", but technically, BIOS refers to an API between the firmware and the operating system. About a decade ago, some people decided that "BIOS" was going to be replaced by "UEFI", and operating systems would start having a new way to boot. What ended up happening is: the firmware on all recent computers supports both UEFI and BIOS interfaces (and everyone still calls it "BIOS"). Recent Windows versions seem to only boot in UEFI mode, but most Linux distros can boot in either UEFI or BIOS mode. The GRUB bootloader can also start itself up in either UEFI or BIOS mode.
USB live operating systems are limited in size and may have less functionality than other operating systems, so maybe they are only able to boot in one method or another. Try looking around in the firmware (or "BIOS" if you prefer) to see if you can change the boot method to allow both UEFI and BIOS operating systems.
It may help if you can take a picture of some of the firmware's boot configuration menus.
At what point does a country assisting Ukraine become "at war" with Russia?
Obviously a country is free to send money to Ukraine. Countries send foreign aid all the time, often in the form of money.
And a country can sell weapons to other countries. So if you combine that with giving money, now you're giving weapons. So that's fine.
If you let your own citizens (some of whom are veterans) go to Ukraine to enlist, that's their own business. Ukraine can accept or deny them, but there's no ability for the home country to prevent them from joining.
But if the country sends active troops to Ukraine, does that count as an implicit declaration of war against Russia?
Not that France is at any risk. Russia would be unlikely to strike within France, and if they did, France would go to full war with Russia, and Russia would lose.
I'm not using your phone app unless you pay for the cost of a burner phone.
I'll just stick a hotdog in the fingerprint scanner.
Regardless of whether this narrative is tired, or a decade old, it is still very relevant right now. Trump is a Russian agent. It is essential not to let him hand over the US to Russia.
Any citations? I mean, the more recent stuff is obvious, because Trump just comes out and says it. He basically admits he's a Russian agent.
But what about the 1987 full page ad? Is that referring to this: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ilanbenmeir/that-time-trump-spent-nearly-100000-on-an-ad-criticizing-us
If so, that ad doesn't say anything about NATO. The ad recommends pulling support for Saudi Arabia, the Persian Gulf, and most of all Japan. Although Trump's ad is fucking stupid, this ad doesn't say anything about any NATO countries.
I would be voting "Uncommitted" tomorrow if I didn't already have Covid. It's not so severe that I couldn't vote, but it is definitely contagious enough that I can't safely go to a voting site.
