That's literally Megumin from KonoSuba lol. She's supposed to be one of the strongest wizards around, but refuses to learn anything other than explosion magic. Explosion magic is basically useless in most situations, as it just flattens a huge area.

Yeah. I'm not sure if edited titles are acceptable here.

Yeah, dual booting on a single drive causes more harm than good. It's very annoying, and I've seen people think it's Linux's fault, saying "I can boot into Windows just fine." It's like saying a bully is the better kid since he never has dirty clothes.

Try to get some prescription painkillers, ideally opioids. None of the over-the-counter stuff even comes close. Tramadol helped me manage pain after my surgery.

I've heard about Typst, never really tried it. I don't think I'll completely be able to switch anytime soon since no journal accepts it afaik. But maybe I can try it out for personal stuff.

I understand using it for collaboration. But I see people write their homework in it. They're not collaborating with anyone.

Also, these people use it all the time. I understand using Overleaf if you only use LaTeX rarely, since you don't need to set anything up.

I personally edit offline, and copy to Overleaf if I need to collaborate.

I'm surprised by how many people use Overleaf for writing LaTeX instead of installing something locally. It's not that hard, guys. And the experience can be infinitely better as you can actually customize it however you want.

The reason for there not being many Hindi signs is that the protest is centered in Bengal. Bengalis don't really have a good relationship with Hindi due to political reasons (even though they have linguistic similarities). In recent times, the central government has been trying to force Hindi on all Indians, which has made the situation worse.

It's good that OP mentioned that it's "furred". Otherwise, I could've mistaken it for a man.

I've been enjoying The Elusive Samurai for the last month or so. It's pretty great.

There's a (pretty great) movie where cannibalism is treated as a substitute for sex. It's called Aamis.

When I was in college, my then girlfriend texted me that she was watching Jojo Rabbit. She knew it was one of my favorite movies, and said that she loved it too. She was talking about how Scarlett Johannson's shoes almost have their own personality. So I said,

yeah, it's devastating when you notice her shoes on the hanging body.

Turns out she had paused the movie to make some dinner, and hadn't seen this part yet. Needless to say, she was PISSED!

 

The Bromite project has been inactive for the last 9 months or so. Today I found this fork of Bromite that's well maintained and seems to work flawlessly. Hope it helps others who were looking for a replacement.

Hi everyone. I recently bought a Breville Bambino. It's my first espresso machine, and I'm quite happy with it. I love the fact that it has a thermoblock which means that I don't have to wait for the water to turn on before I can enjoy my coffee. I've been able to pull some good shots with it, but the exact same technique sometimes gives me inconsistent results. I'm thinking it's my grinder.

I have a Timemore C3 manual grinder. It's great for most other brewing methods e.g. aeropress, V60, French press etc. But I don't think it's the best for espresso. I borrowed a Baratza Encore from a friend and it gave me more consistent results.

Now, I do like the Encore, and would buy a new one, but I looked at this chart and it looks like it doesn't go too low in terms of grind size. Do you guys think that it might cause problems when I upgrade my machine in the future?

Also, if you have any other suggestions for grinders, let me know. I'm willing to spend around $200 on it right now. (I guess I can go up to $300 if it's worth the extra $100.)

Thanks for taking your time to read this. I really appreciate it.

 

It was the same on Reddit, people openly say disturbing things against children. What prompted me to post this is someone saying that babies should be put in overhead bins inside airplanes. Even if they're joking, this is a disgusting thing to say. I won't say that about anything else.

Would they say this openly about dogs or cats? I doubt it. If they do, people will be ready with pitchforks.

But no one gives a fuck when it's said about children? Why is that? I though that the general consensus were that children are cute. Maybe annoying sometimes, but still cute. But with the amount of hate I see about them here, I'm really concerned. Does anyone have any thoughts about it?

 

Hi all, I have a very simple homeland which consists of just one thinkcentre mini pc. I don't really need extra storage at this moment, but I think adding another disk for redundancy will be nice.

The problem is, the mini pc only has space for one hard drive. What is the best thing to do in this case? Is the a reliable way to add an (ideally, with space to add more later) extra disk to it? I don't really want to get something like a Synology as I'm happy with the processing power etc. of this. Some way to expand the storage as directly as possible will be the best.
