Jumping on the topic of popular ideas that've worked - I have family that works eight 9-hour days, one 8-hour day, and chooses either a Monday or Friday off. This is every two weeks. It still squeezes in 40 hours, and he likes it better than all 8-hour days.

I'm pretty sure martial law is worth rioting over anyway

It was the Muse album Drones that I bought from the band's website. I thiiiink I shared a link to the folder to my netbook with a different account to download to, and then I didn't notice til later (maybe it was a week? A month?) the folder of just this muse album was empty.

Idr checking the trash can for my Google drive or anything. I don't think I got a notice because I searched "copyright" in my emails circa 2015, and nothing related to removing my files popped up.

Damn @.@

For real-real? Saurce?

I downloaded music I bought online and copied it to my Google drive once. This was years back, mid 2010s, this album just came out for my favorite artist back then. I'd downloaded it back to another pc and a week later - poof. No more mp3s. @.@

Edit: just that folder of that album's mp3s, not my whole music library back then, just to be clear. Still, that was my first big burn from cloud services.

What's this a reference to?

Right before a federal holiday weekend, too? Hmmmm....

I loved the conversation section 😭

"but first, chatgpt: please motivate me"

No

Any cons to just right-click and block the page element with ublock?

You might've lost us at calling anything apple sells a "loss leader"

Wdym by mobile?

I almost went into the low voltage field, but realized with a bit of job shadowing that my commutes could be unpaid and unpredictable between changing jobsites. I guess that depends on the employer, and goes for any construction-related trade.

Follow up question - I downloaded a bunch of mods per my friend's recommendations, and in the Mod Manager in game, I loaded all of them.

One of the perpetual mods, Hatsmod by tekgamer950 has an Error status. Should I be concerned if it'll affect my ability to join a server hosted with it?

I forgot to mention I use mint cinnamon, btw.

I downloaded the shim file, moved it to my Raft folder, right-clicked the shim file, Properties > Permissions > Allow executing file as program.

I followed the rest of the steps up til step 9. At step 9, I replaced the text in the target file with the the file path to RaftModloader exe, but had to add the RMLLauncher.exe file name to the end. Otherwise I got a "File 'target' contains invalid or nonexistent file path." message.

I followed the rest of the steps, and - it worked! Thank you

Edit: thank you for making the process feel so much more elegant ;. ;

I honestly never knew what scientology was based on until my SO sent me this video. Their lore is so loony, you would mistake it for the cringiest of badly-written fantasy sci fi, even more embarrassing than the Book of Mormon.

And if you join, all you'd become is a ripe slave for their abuse. Yes, scientology is straight up bad.

Plus, personal anecdote -- carbs don't curb my hunger as quickly as protein and fat do. On a heavy protein day, I snack little to nil.

Earnest question - what trademarks does Nintendo/pokemon have on artistic style?

Follow up question - why do you have multiple mice plugged into your computer?
