It's sad watching how easily money can ~~influence~~ control public opinion.

So do the people who keep them in power.

Remember, most Westerners want copyright and patent laws.

Whenever I left click over something that I can potentially interact with, I have to try several times before the prompt appears.

Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone know of a solution?

 

So, apparently the chrome/geckodriver processes will terminate on their own if the user sends ctrl+c to the console. It will not terminate on its own if the program finishes running naturally.

If you're interested in terminating it on your own, like I also was, here is how I went about it.

use std::process::{Child, Command};

fn main() {
	let mut s = Server::default();
	s.start();
	s.shutdown();
}

struct Server {
	child: Option<Child>
}

impl Default for Server {
	fn default() -> Self {
		Self {
			child: None
		}
	}
}

impl Server {
	fn start(&mut self) {
		self.child = Some(Command::new("./chromedriver")
			.spawn()
			.expect("ls command failed to start"));
	}

	fn shutdown(&mut self) {
		input(None); // wait for input so you can observe the process
		self.child.as_mut().unwrap().kill();
		self.child.as_mut().unwrap().wait();
		println!("shutdown");
	}
}

pub fn input(prompt: Option<String>) {
	let mut input = String::new();
	match prompt {
		Some(prompt) => println!("{}", prompt),
		None => ()
	}
	io::stdin().read_line(&mut input).expect("Failed to read input");
}
 

The streaming sites listed on https://rentry.co/megathread-movies-and-tv#streaming have plenty of duplicates. Essentially, they're the same sites with different names/skins but the exact same content.

It would be beneficial to the community if we could consolidate these down into groups according to which ones are the same.

We can still list all of them, but perhaps do it together so people don't waste their time trying out the same site under a different name.

 

I've printed similar objects with a different colored PLA, but I ran out of it and switched to this.

Is it possible that this could be influencing the outcome?

I have tried reducing the printing speed by 50%, but this did not seem to have a significant impact.

[SOLUTION] The problem was a loose screw. The offending part as well as the new result are pictured below. It's not perfect, which I guess is actually a part of the model this time, but it's good enough for my purposes and way better than what it was before.

I figured this out by twisting the Z-axis thingy manually all the way to the top to see if I could feel any issues. Towards the top, it would start to 'skip', where I would turn and pretty much nothing would happen. I assume this has to do with the lack of lube at the top because my prints rarely go that high. I checked to see if the screws were loose, and sure enough, the top one was. I tightened it up and now my printer is printing like the beast I remember!

 

Isn't it enough to just enter your password once to login, then receive a warning whenever you're about to do something potentially dangerous?

If it's such a big security risk, how come the most popular and widely used operating systems in the world and their users seem to be unaffected by it?

I guarantee, most new users coming to Linux from Windows/macOS are going to laugh and look at you funny if you try to justify entering your password again and again and again.

Of course, there is no direct admittance of "we knew it would be cheaper to let them die."

Instead, they say "we had no legal obligation to rescue them." That's the answer for the people who were born yesterday.

Big oil truly is a disgusting thing.
