Nylon Hammers usually are available in much smaller diameter - nylon is more dense than rubber, I believe there's a limit on his small a rubber head can be.

Or just put "something" between your hammer and the fragile wood part; I'm thinking a flip-flop sole lol.

YMMV; My life has improved greatly since I am not buying beer anymore.

France slashed this to two, on account of people doing it wrong or not doing it at all: glass / everything else.

At least my area, it's privatized and competitive bidding. I just don't believe in it in this context.

An electric blanket. Fuck utilities costs, eats next to nothing and so, so comfy.

No. I seriously need ig for work, but when the app popped the "pay €12/month or accept tracking" I uninstalled.

ebook.com has a tickbox in its search tool to look only for drm-free books. I miss-clicked once, buying a locked book & was refunded with zero hassle.

Tachyon Publications straight out does not sell drm-locked books.

For Women's Right Day, the android app store featured the lead of Security and Privacy of this very app. A lady BTW. Fuck me sideways how that was a ton of crap, retrospectively. She said in so many words the usual "privacy foremost" and other such obvious shit, then she also said "no selling ever".

I despair of humanity.

There's a switch in settings where you can define if the changes you are making are global or only for the current account

This app really is the best, only missing an Account Management feature

I have a 2013 "air" that was updated to 10.15 (so 64bits) ; I bought it dirt cheap secondhand for one specific app, and out of the box it did update itself when I connected it not so long ago. I changed the battery, too - most resellers include the impossible screwdrivers needed to open the strange tri-lobe screws.

If OP has a use for it, it's not bad hardware with backlit keyboard, a decent screen, lightweight. With a new battery it's a decent all-day workhorse. My main machines are 5th gen Intel, and I remember nothing wrong with 4th gen.

Any distro will run on it, or should. I'd bet you'll get the spinning cube & wobbly windows easy peasy. If it's free, just try it out.

Have fun!

I've found it depends on version / distro. My Debian install of Firefox doesn't feature gestures, which is frustrating all the more because the Epiphany browser has them. On Asahi, where it feels super natural on apple hardware, it woks excellently.

Now these gestures... I found myself swiping 2 fingers to go back in my file browser a lot recently and I don't know if I come from the future or if I'm being a slightly uncoordinated smooth brain.

For a better touchscreen experience, try the Gnome Desktop. Some people hate it because ...because people, but I love it on my exactly-same-but-not-same latitude 7389 (Arch BTW) and thinkpad 390 yoga (Debian).

I actually like the lack of endless customisation options ; I really just change the background, install the Cube and the Wobbly Windows and I'm back to work. Which I should be at right now, sigh.

From the Road and Track article:

People clinked glasses of free champagne in outfits worth more than the market price of all the organs in my body. I stood there among them in a thrift-store blouse and shorts from Target.

Thanks for sharing the R&T link, it is indeed an excellent article. If her mandate was to report her experience, she nailed it absolutely.

(Talking about Lewis Hamilton):

It's reminiscent of the patronage system of precapitalist times, when rulers and nobles with endless riches paid musicians and composers to live in the palace with them.

A great read indeed. I guess some advertiser got angry. Mercedes? Red Bull? We'll never know.

Support the archive.org project if you can!

I run Asahi on my 2023 m2pro mbp; performance-wise it's closer to a contemporary i7 than the actual performance of the M chip on macos, but a lot of what I need is there, a surprising amount of stuff is compiled for Arm64 actually. Feels like normal Fedora in most every aspects. Coming from thinkpads / latitudes, keyboard is shit tho, really. Screen is great, sound is quite good, device feels sturdy but sleep eats 50% battery a day. Air vents are placed just right to gulp any spilled drink, like, vacuuming it off the table, a puzzling design choice. Prices took a dive with the advent of the m3 so I'm not really angry, a 2023 i7 thinkpad would have cost me the same.

I was prescribed anxiolytics (some form of benzos I believe) to help ; worked remarkably well in keeping me calm while going through withdrawal. It's not that easy tho, since they in turn are addictive.

But it's about the pastry, not the disgusting vegetable. Yikes.

Calling someone "Mon Chou" is like calling them "sweetheart".

PSA: it stands for Read The FINE Manual

Now canonically switched to "read the friendly manual" which I find more patronizing

Tumbleweed and Mint offer Snapper Rollback configured by default, available from the Grub menu. And that's friggin' noïce.

I'm more of a First World Anarchist myself, I only ever rescue my os-breaking, Arch-is-botched mistakes with a Live Ubuntu thumbdrive.

You don't need that: Proton will only surrender accounts/information to local authorities with the appropriate paperwork - and that's their selling point on privacy, swiss law being pretty protective of privacy ; in this case, a corpus of evidence has been submitted by a recognized foreign entity & considered valid for action in regard to swiss law.

That's what makes proton secure for journalists, political opponents and such: no swiss judge will enable any random dictator to get a dissident's info, it won't fly with swiss law. And if that escalates to bogus criminal charges, it is still up to a swiss judge to decide how and if to proceed.

You put your trust in Switzerland here, not in a nerdy business with an atom-smashing background.

Nah, OP could probably sell her. For cheap of course, given the circumstances, but still.

Then there's the spiders. The GIANT spiders.
