Just give me a grumpy guy behind the counter at an Ammu-Nation.

I bet that AI machine gets capped soon.

Welcome to the fediverse!

Definitely search for the communities you are interested in and click subscribe. There may be several similar communities on different Lemmy instances with different rules or vibes. Also, if the subscribe button says subscribe pending, you can ignore that.

Lemmy is amazing to be a "knight of new" as it were because the cross-talk, noise, bots, etc are just not there like they are in reddit. I've found communities I never would have known about.

Keep in mind Lemmy is very actively developed. If you do end up staying with Lemmy consider tossing a few dollars to the devs. I've always found the devs courteous and approachable when I've encountered a bug.

Posting due to site not being EU-accessible:

CUSTER, Wis. -Summer's here, and that means a lot of Wisconsinites are getting their boats out on the water. But don't feel intimidated if you're pushing off from the dock and see a semi-truck making waves on the open water.

John Yach of Custer spent the winter building a pontoon out of a Peterbilt cab he calls the "Semi-Conscious".

"My wife came up with that one day we couldn't figure out a name thought about it for weeks had all kinds of ideas and sitting on the couch she came up with Semi-Conscious," Yach said.

Each year for the past few Yach has had a project: one year a 1966 C10 Chevy pickup, the next, a tri-toon you can drive from the bar.

But why build the semi-pontoon?

"To see if I could," he replied with a grin.

No engineering degree needed: Yach used to be a welding fabrication machine operator.

He spent 700 hours on the semi pontoon, made with real truck parts from across the country friends, family, Google and Facebook helped him find.

"Every piece has been modified, cut, re-welded, lightened up, gutted out all interiors," Yach said. "Everybody pitched in. (My) wife, she kind of left me alone, so I could get it done."

The chassis is 250 pounds of real aluminum Peterbilt, with a keg that Yach is looking to get working soon too. "The front I've got all hinged. So that can be used for storage, so the grill opens up."

The pontoon has a top speed of about 25 miles per hour.

"It pulls up out of the water, really nice, feels good, it steers and you actually feel like you're sitting in a semi," Yach said.

Inside, it's almost all Bentley pontoon from the steering wheel to the fuel gauges.

The Semi-Conscious blew up on Tik-Tok, and it even made one person blink twice when the horn broke through the calm scene where they were camping once.

"A guy pulled in and thought that the semi had backed right into the water because they had it up onshore at our site, and the site is lower than the road. So he could just see the top half of the semi sticking out of the water," Yach said.

Yach is not looking in the rearview mirror -- he's already thinking of his next creation. "An all-terrain machine that floats so I can go from my house, hit the water, go fishing on it."

Despite the passion project, the whole Yach family will be the first to offer you the semi-pontoon for a trip on their private lake.

Because that's the load this semi's always lugging -- smiles.

"Usually wherever we go they got to stop at the sandbar everybody wants to take pictures and look inside, and talk about basically how it was buiIt," Yach said. "I think it was worth it."

 

Not quite as weird/odd as I usually post, but it does have a hamster driving a tank, so there's that.

The small penis rule was referenced in a 2006 dispute between Michael Crowley and Michael Crichton. Crowley alleged that after he wrote an unflattering review of Crichton's novel State of Fear, Crichton included a character named "Mick Crowley" in the novel Next. The character is a child rapist, described as being a Washington, D.C.–based journalist and Yale graduate with a small penis.

You're good. Being a smaller engine though, I wouldn't go much past that.

Did your computer lose its bios settings lately? Check to see if it's set to ahci and not raid if using a single, non-raid disk.

You can try some of the suggestions at https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/how-can-we-fix-this-no-irq-handler-for-vector-4175692269/, too.

Good luck

Dumb ad blocker, article below:

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (WFRV) – Authorities in Eau Claire responded to what they called, “The most Wisconsin complaint ever,” around 9:46 p.m. on Monday.

According to a Facebook post by the Eau Claire Police Department, officers were sent to check on a report from a driver that somebody was chasing them down and throwing cheese at their car.

“Not gouda,” the post said. “It’s un-brie-lievable that someone would do that.” The viral post on Facebook has over 200 comments filled with cheese puns and more than 1,000 shares.

Police did not mention if any citations were handed out or if there was an arrest made.

No additional information was provided. Local 5 will update the story if more details are released.

GrapheneOS is an option. The Pixel 4a is not really supported any longer with the current branch but...it's GrapheneOS so it'll be secure(ish). https://grapheneos.org/faq#supported-devices.

Do keep in mind GrapheneOS has some weird, deal-breaking issues, like RCS not working and other weird, random shit like that.
