Blu Ray players too. I have a Sony BPX 370, and it will play any (non 3D or 4k) Blu Ray or DVD from anywhere in the world.

This was my favorite movie growing up, and I quote it frequently despite not having seen it in years. One day, my husband (who has never seen it) said "wait, is this movie a comedy? I thought it was a tragedy?" ...it's both.

Also "once it hits your prostate, you're a goner" is very relevant right now.

"und so weiter" which is a phrase that literally has no English equivalent. It's so special and unique and conveys a feeling of....

Nah, just kidding. It means "and so forth."

(This comment is informative and not directed at OP, who I'm sure already knows this.)

Is it, though? The horses probably just trampled all over Humpty Dumpty, and THAT'S why he couldn't be put back together.

How funny, I only recently learned of 9Front after trying to find out if there's still a fork going of the original UNIX OS from Bell Labs (which is exactly what 9Front is... I think.)

Anyway, nice article. Thanks for posting.

I had a dream that my cousins and I were having a get-together at my aunt's house, in the yard. My cousin, John, was the last to arrive and his car fell into a ditch as he was attempting to pull into my aunt's driveway.

We all ran to his aid. He got out quickly and yelled "I'm okay!"

We all laughed. I said "Wow, this is just like old times! Everyone is here, even (my other cousin) Jane! ... wait, Jane is here?"

I look at Jane, and time stops. The color fades from the background, but she is still there in full color, smiling at me. I wake up crying.

Jane (not her real name) died a couple years ago, and I have variations of this dream still.

A lose-your-shit post?

Also, libre office has randomly crashed for me on multiple distros now, while doing really mundane things like... resizing a window or trying to save the document as PDF.

I will second only office. It's more stable for me.

Jedes Mal dass ich "geh" höre, denke ich an "gay." Finally it paid off!

Yeah, that's where my name comes from. Sorry, I don't remember it well enough to respond to you properly. I really should get back into it.

More like "gay ins Bett!" Hab ich Recht, Jungs?

What's grackalackin, yo?

I'm in a very similar boat. I've been telling my husband gently that almost nobody in my family makes it to 70...

I get what you mean, but it kinda sounds like you're saying women aren't people.

I have not verified the validity of those claims. I'll edit the post to reflect that.

The developers who created Lemmy are leftists, and they run the lemmy.ml instance. The lemmy.ml (.ml is for Mali, btw) domain was allegedly chosen because ML can also stand for Marxist-Leninist.

I'm not an expert on the subject, but lemmy.ml users are known for being tankies. People don't like that.

However, some of you whipper snappers don't know that those of us with really old accounts joined back when lemmy.ml was the most popular instance. I just like FOSS things.

Edit: added "allegedly"

I've had no problems compressing Blu Ray MKVs into MP4s with handbrake (using MX Linux). My drive is a branded, internal one (I want to say LG or Asus.) I am at work right now, by I can look at the model number when I get home if you want. Interestingly, I have actually used it on both German Blu Rays and North American ones.

I was born in 1990, and I had a Teddy Ruxpin bear.

Actually, me too. Leos are supposed to be outgoing, but I'm usually not. Eh, exceptions prove the rules, right?
