I mean in the perception of his listeners of course. I phrased it weird.

I suspect Jones will fall into his late Bush-Era generic conspiracy-laden libertarian skeptic persona until Trump can find a way to get poll numbers back up near parity again.

He is licking a lot of Elmo boot at the moment so he might pivot to more of that.

Jones sacrificed too much of his integrity, in the hope that people will mistake his vicinity to power with wielding actual power, to pivot hard back to his old persona. I don't think the real libertarian types will forget Jones's enthusiasm for a police state, as long as 'his guy's is the one in power.

On the other hand that would require critical thinking skills and some level of integrity and most people in those circles lack at least one of those.

Edit: I've been waiting for his buyer's remorse to kick in since at least 2017 so this is tasty as fuck.

I was there with KSP from the early days

Same, I am still so mad about the whole ksp2 fiasco that I block all of take twos games on steam, they ain't getting any money from me. I am so glad I didn't buy it in EA although it looked promising.

Reason why military cuts hair short is so your hair doesn't get tangled in trees, bushes or fences, compromising you. It's really of practical nature

Also gas masks really don't seal that well with too much hair in the way.

I think you're wrong, I am sure that there is someone out there for you and I am sure that it will be unexpected and strange and different than you imagined in ways you can't even think of today but it will happen. Just be careful not to reject it because you were conditioned by yourself and others to not believe it.

I hope you have a great weekend <3

My grandfather died in the 80s, 20 years later my grandma got a boyfriend, a widower similar to her age, so both in their mid 70s. She once said that she thought she would be alone for the rest of her life and never thought she would be so in love again.

They never married but had 15 beautiful years with each other. What I'm saying is that it's never too late to find happiness, no matter what that might entail.

Yeah, those are fighting words

Sooo when you use the prompt

Shutdown.exe -r -t 00

You would need the -f since we defined the timeout period as 0. Because:

If the timeout period is greater than 0, the /f parameter is implied.

That was a game changer to me, that's what was missing in most of my pasta sauces!

Please elaborate

We just use a neck roll placed in the lap or on the stomach to rest it on while playing. It is a bit on the heavy side, but it is the first generation consumer handheld with that kind of power so I can excuse that.

Hazel says hi (feddit.org)
submitted 6 months ago by Lupus to c/squirrels@lemmy.ca
 

European red squirrel, northern Germany.

We live right next to a park, where a tree grows partially over our balcony, so the little one can safely come and go. Over the past weeks she's gotten more curious and has been exploring every corner of the balcony, she's also gotten more comfortable with our presence.

A few days ago we were having tea outside and she joined us briefly, so we put out some hazelnuts and she returned immediately from her lookout on the tree.

First she checked from a safe distance.

She then brought the nuts into several hiding spots around and returned again, at this point she really started to muster us. She then made a big jump right on to our table, ran across it until she sat 30cm in front of my girlfriend and stared right into the camera, that's where we took the title picture.

The photo is slightly out of focus because she ran up to us so boldly, we couldn't turn the zoom down quickly enough.

After that photo we put the camera down, to enjoy the moment more, she ran around us a little bit and then retreated back to her tree.

It seems like we made a friend that day, she comes by periodically, we bought more nuts and although she is careful around us, she accepts our presence. We can move slowly and also talk normally, just fast movements makes her a little skittish.

So greetings from Hazel to all of you, we wish you and your squirrel friends a merry autumn!
