Yeah no shit. They're still ignoring it now.

Latinx is a shitty way to try to colonize the language by well-meaning but ultimately ignorant Americans. Using @ is a little more common but frankly "UNIDOS" just makes more sense for the most amount of Spanish speaking people.

White men around my job site freely walk around with MAGA hats. The only eggshells I see are beneath those who would talk to them.

Using a search engine for an answer now could get you in that same trap then no? Even DDG has an AI answer generated automatically.

Some hobbies can be really cheap. Just bought a bow and arrow set for $150 and an archery range nearby only costs $5 for the whole day.

I've always been saying it. Fiat currency leaves the value of money in the hands of too few people. Whenever their buddies start crying for help, the money hose turns on and the rest of us suffer higher prices with no wage growth to balance it.

I wouldn't call it a minor retcon. That's how the outbreak in the original film resolved, and how 28 Weeks Later started. You could argue it caused a mutation this time, but that only requires even further suspension of disbelief if the rules don't stay consistent.

The biggest one that stands out to me is the major retcon of the rage virus. The infected die of starvation at the end of 28 Days Later since they're not undead and had no instinct to eat. Now they're showing that they're basically angry animals that can at eat and reproduce

Or else he resets the timer to a random range between 24 hours to two weeks for another weak non-credible threat.

There's a regional chain in LA called Tom's Jr. It offered unbeatable value like its Big Mac clone that went for $3.50 until they very recently bumped the price up to $5 each.

Ultimately the material you seem to have an objection to is just an artistic expression, created with the consent of all involved. It has nothing to do with an actual illegal activity. This is just a smokescreen to further the conservative agenda of some old assholes with lots of money. If left unchecked, these groups would likely move on to other things like banning sex shops or certain civil rights organizations (e.g. LGBTQIA+) from using credit cards. How far would you allow them to go with their puritanical beliefs, when you can no longer purchase a beer or watch a scary movie?

It returned to nature... Some of it as micro plastics.

 

Hello, I recently bought an old Lenovo Thinkpad X130e (ca. 2012) and tried installing Linux Mint ver. 22.1 Xfce edition into the laptop's HDD and received a "Linux Mint unable to install GRUB in dev/sda" error that only let me boot into a GRUB terminal after rebooting. Is there an easily available installation guide/manual for this laptop I could take a look at? I've tried adjusting the BIOS' UEFI/boot settings but haven't had any luck. I figure there's a way to manually configure the HDD to have a bootable partition during installation but I'm not sure what I'm doing exactly.

UPDATE: Finally fixed the issue. I rebooted on the USB stick iso after the latest GRUB install error and ran the Boot Repair utility from the start menu. It automatically fixed the issue and was able to successfully boot without the USB. Hopefully this helps someone if they run into a similar issue later.

 

Back in the 80's, Atari had a monopoly of games and charged absurd amounts of money for titles that pretty much had no quality control. The cost of each cartridge would easily go over $100 in today's money and gamers began to pull back on purchasing anything. This eventually culminated in the infamous E.T. movie tie in that led to pallets of its unsold cartridges ending up in a landfill and crashing the industry.

Now that Nintendo's signaled to the rest of the industry it's okay to sell digital titles at $80 each, how soon do you see gamers collectively hold back on their purchases that will eventually collapse the AAA market? Will the current trade war play a role in the hardware side of things with the collapse? Will all major companies save Nintendo suffer the downturn?

 

I'm planning to go to a rural spot that has a Bortle class 3 night sky around Southern California. Can anyone recommend a beginner friendly telescope with decent magnification for around $200? I'm not interested in using an accompanying smart phone app to go with it either. I'd like to see nebulae and galaxies the most. Thank you.

 

There should be a kind of "sorting hat" personality test to attract the interest of prospective Lemmy joiners. People who love solarpunk stuff, for example, would easily find their home in slrpnk.net. Set a link to it on sites like join-lemmy.org to make the fediverse more approachable to casuals.

 

 

I followed the maintenance guide and applied belt lube as instructed. Friction eventually caused the motor to overheat. Support said they meant to include using all 4 ounces of lube that came with it at a time. I'll be getting a new drive board to replace the burnt out one soon. Yep.

 
 

I decided to purchase store bought ice cream after years of just buying from places like Cold Stone. It seems to me most ice cream manufacturers have very soft ice cream now despite storing it in a freezer for a week straight. I could easily drop a spoon in the tub and watch it cut straight through to the bottom. The consistency is now kind of disgusting because it feels like I'm eating whipped cream instead of something that should be semi solid. So far I've tried Tillamook, Dryer's, and Target's in house brand and they all have that same mushy texture.

Before anyone suggests it's my freezer, I've kept it relatively uncluttered and everything else stays frozen just fine. I also make sure not to purchase those tubs of "Frozen Dairy Dessert". What happened? Is this some cost cutting measure or are customer's preferences really going to extremely soft textures?

 

It sounds way less offensive to those who decry the original terminology's problematic roots but still keeps its meaning intact.

 

I'm pretty sure they would. It's not like they'd like to see their seaside properties go underwater within their lifetimes.

 

Hi all, I've recently switched over to Linux Mint from Windows 10 and I'm having trouble installing a CH340 driver from Sparkfun. I've managed to unzip the contents and have it in this location: /home/user/Downloads/CH341SER_LINUX. I've tried running the files using the ./ command for both the ch34x.c and Makefile but ran into a bash issue which I'm stuck trying to figure out. Could someone please tell me how to make it work? I've already looked up a couple of different videos on Youtube but they kind of skip the explanation of how to install this driver on Linux in favor of Windows and MacOS.

Please see the attached image for the response I get in the terminal.

UPDATE: It turns out I had a bad micro USB cable. Most of the ones I was using to connect to an ESP32 board were charge only. Mint apparently had the driver for this all along. Thanks for the help everyone.
