Any sort of digital release? How exactly does one play a computer game that has not had any sort of digital release? Are you expecting to scan your game’s binary files and assets from microfilm? Maybe your actually just looking for some TTRPG? There were some VHS games once upon a time, maybe that’s what you’re after?

That’s a great word!

As batman movies go they’re pretty boring. It’s a dark and gritty hero, fighting dark and gritty villains, in a boring gritty city, with boring citizens. Their not bad movies. They were clearly made by clever talented people, good at what they do. But the result lacks any real contrast, just black on black on black on black. I’ll rewatch any other batman movie at the drop of a hat, no questions asked. I know I’ll be entertained. But I’m totally uninterested in rewatching the Nolan Batman movies.

Those “repeated certain melodies across the movie” have a name. It’s called a theme and is something that’s pretty common in movies, opera, musicals, symphonies, etc. An entire work can have a theme that is modified, built upon, expanded or changed as the narrative progresses. Individual characters or places can have their own unique themes. Daft Punk’s entire style is built on repetition, so it should be no surprise that their musical score work would highlight that.

That’s not what the articles says or implies at all. The article only refers to another article with a click bait headline. The article article summarizes Canonical stance like this:

• Canonical will add AI to Ubuntu — but only cautiously and when it truly makes sense.
• AI features must be mature, open-source, and run locally when possible.
• Focus AI on accessibility (speech-to-text, TTS) and improvements, not turning Ubuntu into an ‘AI product’.

And to be clear, including a tool or default workflow is MILES away from patronizingly forcing it on to users. It’s just the way that most distros that aren’t Linux From Scratch work.

The idea is to have the server safely shutdown BEFORE it loses power, so that BIOS setting wouldn’t mean anything. The server does not loose power while it it running, so it will never “restore last state after AC loss”. The idea is that you can run a low power device (the raspberry pi) for which you don’t care if power is cut abruptly and that can talk to both the UPS and the wake-on-lan of the server directly over ethernet. It being local means those WOL are much more likely to work than trying to send them from outside your network when you’re remote. It’s a lot simpler to set this up once than it is to recover a server with a corrupted file system due to power loss or lose access to your server for weeks because a thunderstorm knocked out power for 30min at the beginning of a long trip. That pi can also take care of other always on services like a pi-hole, home assistant, etc.

Tastes like a beaver’s ass.

Paolo Bacigalupi is to the climate crisis what William Gibson is to cyberpunk. Stories like The Water Knife and The Tamarisk Hunter feeling a lot closer to reality everyday. But then again, fighting over access to water is a tale as old as time.

According to the article it was royalty free and published open standards, but they do not make any claim to this being an FOSS system.

Where? Everything everywhere seems to be a mix of clear channel, church broadcasts, or the rare public radio station that isn’t classical music 24/7.

Lol, this was a thing that every grocery store in my area would do every couple of years. I remember my mom making this same complaint with some regularity as we grew up. Sometimes they’d circle back around and hit a configuration from days long past.

They seemed to have calmed down on the bi-decade reorganization that moved entire isles lately. But there are still about 3-4 different places (spread across the store) that I’d need to check if I was looking for a pickle or some cheese. This ruined their delivery services because practically every item I’d order during COVID would be an unacceptable substitute because the “pros” doing the shopping were clearly children that had never done grocery shopping for themselves before.

Some company has recently been stocked the impulse buy areas around me with something they brand as retro sours. They are packaged to look just like Altoids Sours and I assume they are also trying to mimic the flavors. I wish I could tell you they taste the same, but they never seem to have the one flavor I’m interested in (tangerine) so I haven’t tried them.

I really want to know why this matters in the slightest for this particular movie. Why are you so invested? Is your nearsighted toddler going to have a public meltdown because they can’t see the movie in 3D like the other kids?

Yes

When I need to soak some things outside of the washing machine, I just use a mop bucket. Lately that soaking has been whites in oxyclean to get them looking more white again. Oxyclean (or any similar non-brand name oxygen based agent) is great for organic stains (blood, sweat, oils, grease, food) and smells, but bad for wool. DO NOT USE OXYCLEAN ON WOOL. For my wool stuff I just use regular detergent in cold water and hang dry. If you’re trying to get smells out of wool you might try drying them in the sun. Wool also doesn’t do great in hot water, but that’s okay. Just trade heat for time, i.e. letting something soak in cold water instead of a short wash in hot water. Same principal used to make cold brew coffee.

If there is a filter to be cleaned on a public machine, you can probably check it before running your own through. At the very least give the machine a sniff first. Sometimes a quick rinse cycle with an empty machine is all that’s needed to clear out the lingering funk from the last load. If not, the machine needs maintenance.

Laundry advice is weird in that it can be very broadly applied and general (the actual chemistry and fabrics are pretty similar everywhere), but also hyper local. What works in one region might not it another because the water is different, chemicals have different and confusing names, etc. The best advice is really to read the clothing tags (and learn to interpret those laundry hyroglyphs), read/research the detergent ingredients and instructions, group like items together, and test new tips and tricks on less critical pieces of wardrobe before doing an entire load.

Oh yeah, gambling ads are the worst. That’s like a whole other can of worms. I feel the same way about them, predatory and exploitative. They shouldn’t really be allowed anywhere. But I feel the same way about ads for casinos, day trading websites, Bitcoin, predictive markets, state lotteries, managed stock market funds, short term loans, multilevel marketing schemes, etc. The all prey on the same ignorance and insecurities.

If we’re going to make a rule about legal advice, it should simply be “Don’t ask for legal advice.” Then again, it’s really against rule 5 anyway. This is not a support community.

Speaking from experience, storing batteries or a battery operated device in a car is just asking for a bad time.

I just bought a bicycle foot pump. Sure it’s slightly inconvenient and requires some leg work. But, I’ve gone through one about every other decade. Also, I’m not tethered to a car with a working battery.
