Also: religion

The two align in that more kids both more people to work themselves to death for cheap, more uneducated voters, and more parishioners to pay tithes

Or just when the impact of such is easier to imagine. We've already seen the shit-show that came from the 9-11 attacks. My first thought was less about the 200 people versus the tens or hundreds of thousands+ that would die due to reprisals

Yeah. He looks like one until he opens his mouth and then proves it... regularly

[–] phx@lemmy.ca 18 points 5 days ago

And that's ridiculous on general because you know who also does regular work hours? Everyone else!

That means if you need a call with your doctor, bank, whatever, it's likely gonna be during the workday

IIRC, it wasn't that "she liked lipstick and dudes" but essentially that her thoughts of Narnia became "oh, that funny game we played as kids".

It's not her gender or orientation, it's that she lost her belief in an effort to become more "adult". The lipstick and boys bit is more to emphasize this.

Narnia is apparently like Neverland in this regard. You stop believing and the magic is gone.

Damn. That's a good one!

I could see it being like subtitles

Degenerate poultry hentai

Excuse me sir/madam, but I'd request that you respect the preferred literary sub-genre of some without resorting to terms such as "degenerate". Poultry Hentai may not be overly popular and only have a niche following, but it truly is an art form in and of itself. Whether it's "2 hens, 1 cob" or the better-known "Lady Chookerlee's Lover" it truly does represent a formidable contribution to the art.

But he also refused a lot of patients because he really only wanted "sure things" and not something that might damage his reputation.

He'll amputate your limbs but replace them with fairly functional robot parts?

Trying to figure out where Dr Doom would fit. Supposedly he does have a doctorate but it came from Latveria so could be a bit... biased

One of the problems with having switched over a number of relatives to Linux is that I'm "the guy" when they have issues, and I can't always get over to help them in a timely manner. A lot of the time most stuff is working just fine and it's just a matter of popping into the desktop and fixing a bad link or a naughty plugin that's slipped into Chrome etc, but it DOES require being able to see what they see.

Windows has a system where you can "request assistance" and then provide a code for access at which point it shares your desktop. There are similar systems where one can get a link in email and click it for support.

I'd like to find a system that I can host myself to allow users to queue up for support at which point I can pop into their system, without needing to open ports on their routers or using something hackish like forwarding a VNC port to an SSH server etc

 

Has anyone seen anything in terms of locks that could be used for smaller doors etc. For example, a drawer/cabinet style lock or something that might work for bifold closet doors etc. Also setups that could be used to automatically slide out a drawer.

I'd like to create some "secret drawers" as well as be able to lock out stuff like the "candy/snack drawer" as certain members of my household have poor impulse control and like snitch candy then not easy their dinner

(Yes I've tried hiding it, putting it up high etc, but they're sneaky and automation is more fun)

 

Does anyone use X11 forwarding with Android devices, so that they can access their UI apps remotely?

If so, what apps do you use and what issues have you run across?

There's a "MobaXterm ssh" app and while I do love that app on other OS's it doesn't seem to be made by the same company so I don't really trust it

 

While I quite like the ability to broadcast TTS, media, and other such things to Google Nest or Amazon Alexa devices, I'm trying to rein in my HASS setup so that it doesn't send data to our require cloud services.

Does anyone know of or recommend a wireless speaker service that can accept broadcast/streamed/sent audio without needing an internet connection. Bonus if it has a microphone that can integrate with something like a local Genie instance for accepting voice commands (without cloud processing)

 

I'm looking for a wall switch that I will take Tasmota firmware (so a ESP82XX chipset generally) but can get easily sourced and aren't a huge pain to reprogram.

I'm totally cool with soldering some serial jump points from the board of the appropriate Rx/Tx/GRND/3.3V and pin0 are readily available, but try to avoid stuff that requires soldering the chip itself.

I used to be able to get Globe etc dimmers from Costco that were flashable via the old OTA Tuya-Convert method, but that seems to be a thing of the past and I just need a regular ol' non-dimmer switch which is easy to find and access the required pins these days.

If there are switches which take 110VAC but don't output power, that's even better as some I'm just looking to supplement devices already have power but are inconvenient to access
