I love some of the dangerous upgrade commands too, my favorite:

hdparm --fwdownload-mode7 firmwarefile.bin --yes-i-know-what-i-am-doing --please-destroy-my-drive /dev/sdb

thank you for the explanation that is a lot more understandable now.

hostages being released in order to stop the violence is what I was thinking.

but you're saying it's more like losing leverage in order to temporarily pause the violence.

they would have nothing left to bargain with and would just have to hope the world actually cares enough to step in.

I can definitely see why they wouldn't want to do that

maybe I am missing something that I don't see why that is an objectionable position? like obviously the ceasefire needs to happen immediately but what is wrong with hostage release as part of it?

not that long ago politicians were doing anything they could to avoid the word ceasefire and now they're actively calling for it I'm really not thinking that this is an unchanged position but I am willing to listen if I have some drastic misunderstanding.

honestly doesn't it seem like this change of direction is him listening? Even weeks ago I would have never thought I would have heard the words ceasefire out of his mouth.

to me this seems like a direct response of the message people sent to him with the Michigan primary and I am happy to see it.

doesn't mean I'm happy with what he's done so far or even that he has not immediately taken direct action but this is a pivot and failing to acknowledge it weakens protest actions like this in the future.

yeah I suppose it's time to try a reset

I actually switched to beta hoping it would fix the broken biometrics update, was using standard release before that.

ah dang I do use rcs, that would be annoying

okay but if you only fight along a line it seems like this'll be quick

I love memory foam but yeah I have the same problem, I get quite a bit more longevity by regularly rotating, but with the way these things are built you can only rotate and not flip.

100%.

I basically stopped buying men's deodorant because my wife bought some dove cucumbery thing and when mine was out I borrowed it once.

never went back lol

this is freaking beautiful, it's the shit post version of cocaine.

I don't think I've laughed that hard at a video in years.

yeah I enjoyed it too, a couple of different friends mentioned it being funny I don't know anyone that was upset about it.

probably just another article about some random vocal minority complaining

holy shit that is perfect lol

I guess I don't understand that point of view, not only doesn't that make life easier for us but it also makes it actively worse for them and for the relationships they're involved in if they are not engaging as a real partner.

why would I wish that on someone else?

it always just makes me feel kind of sad and awkward

like sometimes my wife will get off the phone after having some long and serious seeming conversation with a friend of hers and thank me like it's some big accomplishment for basic things like doing the dishes and spending time with our kids.

The bar is low guys we got to step this shit up.

I definitely spent a frustrated 45 minutes trying to figure out why curl wasn't working when it was supposed to be supported in PowerShell.

then I hit tab a couple of times and noticed curl.exe was an option, that works exactly the same as I had expected with original syntax.

they do this to a lot of things though a lot of common commands end up being an alias to a powershell command with a specific option set that doesn't always line up

oh great I'm sure the training for this will not result in a bunch of things getting "reviewed" and no one being responsible for mistakes at all...

look I know there's more important things going on here but did they photo shop his hands smaller or is this just an odd angle or wtf is going on

yeah I feel like that is the minimum I am okay with.

like if a player just wants to roll dice but does not want to be involved in the story itself at all I don't know why they would be playing a role-playing game.

knowing what they're trying to get out of the situation or at least how they are sort of going about it is the bare minimum.

I will say though that makes it less fun for me personally. I am just more into the heavier character focused stories and if there is no role-play involved it just feels like basically playing a board game.

I like board games but that's not why I play TTRPGs.

I don't know exactly where I fall on this spectrum.

on the one hand obviously you want to be encouraging to your players and create an environment where everyone is having fun.

on the other hand if I wanted to play a game solely based on its mechanics I would play something else. the R in TTRPG is there for a reason.

some of my favorite moments in games I've run have been when players improvise something in character and completely derail.

I don't think I've ever run a game where we didn't have more fun when players act like they are their character rather than act like they are controlling their character.

to be fair though I moved away from 5e and Pathfinder and other crunchy games for that reason, I just have a lot more fun with games that are less heavy on the rules and more involved on the story were telling together.

so could just very well be my gaming groups preference that leads to that experience rather than not.
