Unfortunately, it's not that innocent. There are sovcit sites run by grifters that sell fake passports, license plates, court documents, reference papers with the sovcit magic words to get out of a traffic stop, etc.

Even a clock with brain worms is right once in a while.

The basis of what he wants is not ridiculous, the conclusions he makes are. More transparency? Good. Less processed stuff? Good. Having parties to spread measles to inoculate kids instead of using a proven safe and effective vaccine? Batshit insane.

Yeah I avoided factor simply because they were advertising it so hard.

Then a coworker got some and they actually looked really good and my girlfriend talked me into it because we discontinued home chef or hellofresh or whatever the fuck it was due to us not wanting to take 45 minutes to cook only 2 servings every day.

First meals haven't arrived yet. I will not report back. Assume factor killed me and turned me into fresh meals.

Ran into several fresh accounts this week alone. TankieTanuki and something with "Stalin" in the name were the more obvious ones (I say like a random hours old account complaining about NATO in two separate threads and nothing else isn't obvious).

I had one Indian scammer use my name so I was interested. Then he asked if my email was still current and gave an email that I used like 20 years ago in middle school. I laughed and told him he paid for shitty info. It was a goddamn Hotmail account to give you an idea.

Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted. I always love talking to Indian scammers when they call about my student loans that don't exist.

Someone allegedly gave his home address, so now we need to consider whether ICE is just using that as their version of "fit the description" (likely) or whether an actual undocumented person decided to pull a very funny prank (maybe?).

Connect for lemmy is a RIF-esque ui that I enjoy.

Only answer so far that might maybe work.

Mixing it up can be fun. "Gosh fucking darn it" usually gets some sideways looks.

Mistakes were made (lemmy.world)

Heading to Bonemass. Realized we were surrounded by plains but noticed a small break in the land. Thought it might be a gap between two separate islands. I was wrong. By that point I had no choice but to rip through it at full sail and pray. I did not die for my mistake, and it was difficult to impress upon my friend just how lucky we were to not have been murdered.

 

I picked up Ace Combat 7 recently because I heard project wingman was inspired by the series and PW is genuinely one of my favorite games. I finally figured out how to make my hotas work with AC though I really hate the difficulty in setting bindings, but it's done so whatever. My current issue is that when rolling, the plane begins rolling first and then the canara follows after a split second. I find it mildly disorienting and would love to fix the camera to the plane's orientation. Is there any way to do that?

(Also the lock on distance being 2km is incredibly painful after PW's 9km lock range, but I understand I'm gonna have to suffer a bit before I can upgrade stuff)

 

I knew of thin mints. THICC mints caught me by surprise.

Finally did it (self.linux)
submitted 2 months ago by SkyezOpen to c/linux
 

Dipped my toes into Linux maybe 10 years ago. It was awful and turned me off of it. Also the fact that I occasionally have to deal with some bespoke bullshit distro at work that does nothing that literally any tutorial I google says it will.

But I finally gave it another shot. Girlfriend got a smart TV. I got sick of ads. I had an old Intel nuc laying around that I bought for a dedicated DDR machine but it didn't go great, so I stuck dietpi and pihole on it. Was still a mild clusterfuck and had dozens of open tabs trying to figure out what was breaking, but by 5am I had pihole configured and running, a plex server set up, and a desktop. Today I got the ftp server up so I can move stuff into plex without messing with flash drives. Still haven't figured out desktop through ssh but that's a later problem.

Bad news is youtube ads come from the same domain as the videos so pihole is useless there, but I'm still having fun and very excited about what I can do with a cheap piece of hardware I thought was useless. For the next project I'm thinking maybe trying to de-google my Google home minis and have a locally hosted assistant, but that would probably take a ton of research beforehand.

Suggestions, encouragement, and harassment welcome.

 

Truly love the Mandalay for traveling. It's insanely zippy in supercruise making for quicker transitions between stars, the jump range is bonkers even before engineering, and the thermal efficiency means you don't even need to clear the star before jumping. Also it's unbelievably stable in SCO, and maintains overcharge for way longer before overheating.

I still love the 'conda because it does everything, but it's a fuggin' boat and flies like one.

Been going to power wreckage to scoop up escape pods for my weekly missions. This pisses off the enemy faction and the start shooting. I shoot back, I get a bounty. What gives?

Edit: I'm a moron. Enemy power system.

Engineers being too nice? (self.elitedangerous)
submitted 6 months ago by SkyezOpen to c/elitedangerous
 

So I've been on the engineering grind. Basically running around doing what I can, adding things to a list when I hit any snags. Yesterday I got an invitation from Lei Cheung who I need to finish out my shield generator. He wanted me to trade in 50 markets. I had 20something out of 50, so I put it on the list for later. In my reviews of what I needed today, he is totally unlocked. I did not do any significant trading in the meantime, and I most certainly did NOT give him 200 gold. I'm not gonna look a gift horse in the mouth, but what the heck? This is also not the first time this has happened with engineers.
