I had to take a physics exam in a room with these desks. The exam was on that super long paper too. After tearing off the formula sheet and setting that on your lap, trying to work out the problems and keep all your stuff organized was impossible. After hearing the 3rd calculator fall on the floor less than 2 minutes into the exam I just had to laugh out loud at the absurdity of the whole situation.

Well, picturing that all I can say is: relevant username.

I’m gonna be optimistic and say that the hamberders or dementia is going to catch up with him before 4 years is up.

I’m fucking sick of Trump’s antics already and his term hasn’t even started.

Don’t worry about it. Everybody is just cautious about stories on the internet. Thanks for sharing!

Gnome tweaks:

I have a couple of Logitech Mx Master 3S mice I use. One really nice feature is that you can ‘unlock’ the mouse scroll wheel so that there’s no resistance. Just spin it fast and it’ll keep scrolling for quite a long time.

Actually this most recent version will do click scrolling when the wheel is spun at low speeds, but unlock and let the wheel fly when spun faster. Really great feature.

I know it’s also not what you were asking about, but I don’t know of that feature in Linux.

You’d be surprised how much food an urban homestead can produce. And no, one person isn’t going to feed everybody on food stamps but like many things, if enough people start doing it then it becomes part of the culture. Imagine if houses had a little homestead instead of a grass lawn, especially in the front. Whole changes in culture could occur. For example, one of the best things about Halloween in my opinion is that the whole neighbourhood comes alive with people out and about. If people spent more time in their front yards doing gardening (and not noisy polluting lawn mowing) there’s be more interactions between people and places would feel more alive and safer. </rant>

I use the Thunder client. Looks like it tried to finish your joke because your comment was the last one.

Ah you’re right. I was expecting the word update or something after client.

but when the client(basically a large QOL mod)

I think you a word. Did you mean when the client updated?

From https://euromaidanpress.com/2024/10/31/canadian-foreign-minister-joly-says-canada-backs-ukraines-path-to-nato-membership/

Canada supports extending an invitation to Ukraine to join NATO and ultimately granting it full membership, Canadian Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly said in Montreal, according to Ukrinform.

Not sure why this guy said Canada is standing in the way of membership.

There’s some extra limbs I the background that could be cats that are obscured by the ones in the foreground. The weird spot above the cat on the right could be the tip of a tail, but is also weird.

The rest looks like when I use portrait mode for taking a picture of a cat. It makes the fur a bit weird.

He didn’t think that far ahead.

No, I think his leg got blown off.

Go then. There are other elections than these.

Sorry, re-read The Gunslinger recently.

I was actually thinking about the Canadian election that is coming up.

I figured that something like that must already exist, but I had never heard of it. Probably why they’re not very effective.

Oh, and thanks for linking them. I’ll check it out and at least sign up for the newsletter.

Edit nevermind, the newsletter hasn’t had a release since December 2021.

I’ve been thinking that we need to create a voting block of people who will vote for climate emergency policies. Similar to how unions have political strength due to advising their members who to vote for, this organization would advise members on who in local elections is the best for positive climate initiatives.

I think a block of voters is needed because right now climate wasn’t even an issue in the US election. We need to organise so that these policies are a target for politicians looking to obtain votes.
