  • Crack cocaine use is nothing to joke about.

  • Why does nobody here ever recommend Fedora to noobs?
  • i discovered it around the same time, but i forget how. It's been my only daily driver since then. I can fumble my way through a .deb distro if I have to, but slackware is my comfort zone.

    You should throw -current up on a distrohop partition and re-live your youth.

  • Why does nobody here ever recommend Fedora to noobs?
  • I'd be offended if I weren't so busy managing my own dependencies.

  • Why does nobody here ever recommend Fedora to noobs?
  • I recommend slackware exclusively. Sometimes times it feels like I'm pissing into the wind.

  • Windows 11 is now automatically enabling OneDrive folder backup without asking permission
  • It's not much of a gamble. Most of their users won't notice or care.

  • Millennial dads spend 3 times as much time with their kids than previous generations -
  • Or, a millennial like me with a kid, a mountain of medical debt, student loans in deferment, and nothing saved for emergencies or retirement. We're supposedly middle class, but we feel more like working poor.

  • ASUS warns of critical remote authentication bypass on 7 routers
  • I can only get merlin on my rt-ax86u pro. Only aimesh for me!

  • Intel is trucking a 916,000-pound 'Super Load' across Ohio to its new fab, spawning road closures over nine days
  • I'm a logistics professional with some project cargo experience. The transportation arrangements are almost certainly being made by a private company not related to Intel. There are only a handful of trailers in the country that can move something like this.

  • Humane is said to be seeking a $1 billion buyout after only 10,000 orders of its terrible AI Pin
  • I can confidently say as a recovering alcoholic that I would have bought neither. I would gave gone with a handle of the cheapest vodka in the store and a pouch of drum, bugler or Samson. And that would have been my 3 meals for the day.

  • What's the best way to fill these holes in my laundry room?
  • This feels like the best answer. Those are your air conditioner lines. You probably don't want to seal them in with spray foam.

    Your best way to keep pests out is to track those lines from your A/C unit outside to where they enter your house. Seal that up with the pest resistant foam if there is any daylight.

    Shove some rockwool insulation into the hole. You can finish with steel wool too for added pest protection. Then put the cable cover up to make it look pretty.

    lazy Sunday smoked chicken thighs

    I smoked a bunch of boneless, skinless chicken thighs. They're quick, easy and versatile. I do a 1 hour wet brine and lightly rub with whatever I have on hand. I don't sauce, spray or even look at them until the temp probe says 170.

    I've been shredding them and serving with white sauce, but they'd work just as well serving whole with sweet baby ray's.

    The sauce (not pictured):

    my insurance stopped covering name brand vyvanse

    And guess what is on back order at every nearby pharmacy? I'll give you a hint: it's not the $300 per month name brand.

    So I guess I switch to Adderall xr tomorrow?

    my daughter's first computer

    I finally found a use for an underpowered sbc I bought during the pandemic. I put Debian base, lightdm and sugar on it. It was a fun project for me. Hopefully it introduces a lifelong love of computers.

    She already had a text to speech robot saying things like poopy, fart, butt stink and fire in the hole. The apple doesn't fall too far from the dingleberry.

    Midwestern carnival fried desserts

    The oreo was delicious as you'd expect. The brownie bite was like hot brownie batter coated in pancake, powdered sugar and caramel sauce. I will absolutely do that again.

    Mistakes were made, but it's nothing tums and laying down can't fix.

    my little gambler is in the hospital again

    I posted a picture of my little girl playing the slots yesterday. We had actually just come from an immediate care place. We told them she was starting a new UTI/kidney infection. She just got out of the hospital less than 2 weeks ago and has previous history with this problem.

    These infections go from zero to 100. She'll go from no fever to 106+ in under an hour. So we were desperate for some help yesterday. The doctor listened to our story, looked at the chart, and decided she was fine.

    Today we're back in the ER with another runaway infection. We came because we couldn't control the fever that blew up out of nowhere. She's being admitted and will be here for several days. We are exhausted and disheartened.

    my daughter came up with a plan to pay off her medical bills

    She was up $0.80 at one point, but chose to reinvest her winnings into more spins. This proved to be a strategic blunder, though, as she walked away penniless and disheartened about 15 seconds later.
