Did mine a few weeks ago. The only part I'm stuck on is OneDrive, which I unfortunately need. I got access to my personal files but not the shared files. The other part is I still need to download all of my mods...which I am not looking forward to πŸ˜† but let me just say it is so nice to have a computer that actually works! It's older so it was getting impossibly slow.

Between Linux and the new IRS software I am feeling spoiled.

I had no idea those were animals. Fascinating.

Now, now. Yusef uses Paypal and Stripe. For just $49.99 US/month you too can learn how to ruin your life.

Well if you don't test for it then you won't have it. So there's no need to cover any treatment because it will no longer exist whenever Trump is ~~king~~ president

I was on Artemis and then Jerboa and now Thunder (probably a few others in between).

Artemis was going to be great but is no more, sadly.

Jerboa I just couldn't like. I think my biggest issue when I was using it was you could only search for community names? I can't remember exactly I just remember the difficulty searching was the last straw for me.

Thunder is great. I don't think I have any complaints. It works as I need it to and probably has a bunch of features that I don't use. It's pretty new still so I'm trying not to get too attached lol but it's updated pretty regularly, commenting works well, it allows you to preview before posting. Search seems to work great. I guess the only issue is the delay in notifications? Not really an issue for me but I guess if you're having a more immediate conversation in the comments it might be.

Yep.

At my first job I was in charge of implementing new software (definitely not in my job description - I was basically a secretary). I was discussing security concerns with the head honchos and they interrupted me and dismissed my concerns because they "only hire honest people."

They gave everyone admin permissions.

Yeah, if you mean laps etc it'll be when I can move up to more intense stuff. Right now I can basically sit and float around.

Right now the exercises I do feel like I'm doing nothing (until later, then I'm exhausted for days). It's frustrating because before all of this happened I was doing a lot of incline and strength training, which I can't do anymore. The exercises I'm able to do now basically amount to a few flutter-like moves and some shoulder work. Even that was too much this week so going to have to tell my trainer we have to pull back even further.

Unfortunately many of those "exercise people" this tweet is referring to do not take any disabilities into consideration. I can't tell you how many people have told me to just "go for a walk" when my disabilities require me to do specific exercises from a horizontal position. At some point I might be able to do slightly more intense recumbent stuff (very slow, low resistance cycling) but walking/running will unfortunately never be something that helps me. And don't get me started on the HIIT fad. I would die lol (not joking though)

As @[email protected] always says, OP delivers! Both comments are from the person smarter than all of us.

Two Facebook comments from a person confidently incorrect in defining prejudice and racism. The first comment reads, "I doubt you have read a dictionary in years." The second comment is simply a screenshot of the dictionary entry for "prejudice."

 

Comments on a Facebook post. The original post is not shown. The first comment, which 6 people liked, reads, "Everyone has prejudice. It's normal. Every single person on the planet. It is a conditioned response to your environment." The OP replies, "that doesn't make it ok." The commenter responds, "you are mistaking prejudice with racism. They are not the same.Prejudice is earned. It's learned. Life experience plays a big role. Racism is just treating or hating someone for racial reasons. Big differences. Yes racism is wrong." Four people liked that comment. The OP then says, "prejudice is an umbrella term and I'mnot only talking aboutracism, which is why I used it."

A continuation of the same comment chain described in the previous image. Part of the OP's last comment is visible at the top. The final comment from the commenter says, "sorry you are wrong. Sad."

I'm sorry I didn't use different colors when I marked the names out. These comments are between the same two people. It was in a neighborhood group discussing a recent neighborhood-wide survey.

Nobody ever liked the OP's comments by the way, so I guess the whole area agrees with these enlightening definitions of racism and prejudice.

Read this comment before the article and thought it surely wouldn't be as obvious as you're stating.

Spoiler: with Chicago, it's usually more obvious.

One day I will finally untangle my sense of obligation to give bigots the benefit of the doubt. Can't wait but it's a lot of work and self reflection.

Most of it is diverted to Europe though - loads of people there order their water with gas

 

Probably about once a month I drive past these protestors at a fertility clinic. They are always protesting abortion and saying how so many babies die there.

This particular clinic does not perform abortions at all. Ever. It never has.

Today one of their signs also said "babies are orphanized here." What does that even mean? Do they think parents are killed there? Or is it because people leave their embryos stored there?

Do they also think babies are "orphanized" at hospitals when a parent leaves their room to go to the cafeteria?

I just can't understand these people.

 

Hello,

I am trying to run Win98 games using Retroarch 1.19.1 on Android 14. I am trying to play either Restaurant Empire or Roller Coaster Tycoon currently, but am also interested in other games from that time.

I have looked at other sites which recommend using DosBox-Pure. I have also tried the core and SVN versions.

Nothing happens in the core and SVN versions except to say that the file cannot be run in Dos mode. When using Pure, roller coaster tycoon shows a list of exe files, but restaurant empire doesn't register any exe files. If I try to start any of roller coaster tycoon's files it says that it cannot be run in Dos mode.

Other sites said you have to install Win98 SE, which I tried but can't seem to get it to work on Android, even though there are some folks that were able to make it happen. I got it to the screen where it says to continue with setup press enter, but when I press enter on the onscreen keyboard nothing happens (esc does nothing either).

Here are the links where I got the iso files:

I also downloaded the boot disc from the Win98 link (the 7z file) but it says no executable file found.

I am not super knowledgeable about retro gaming so any assistance is helpful. (I have had success with a few games using other cores within Retroarch as well as the Dolphin emulator)

 

Political flier with a photo of Trump on the right side and various warning symbols throughout the text. There is a watermark on the flier that appears to be an eagle similar to other US symbols containing eagles. The text reads: VOTER ALERT. We see you haven't voted yet. Your voting record is public... Your neighbors are watching you and will know if you miss this critical runoff election. We will notify President Trump if you don't vote. You can't afford to have that on your record. Our Republican values are at stake in this election. 1) Border Security, 2) Property Taxes, and 3) Parental Empowerment. VOTE EARLY before the deadline this Friday, May 24th at 7:00pm or VOTE ON ELECTION DAY Tuesday, May 28th. NOTICE: We will contact you after the election to make sure you voted!

Note: some slight edits have been made in the image description to aid in readability by screen readers. Specifically, the values listed have been enumerated for clarity and the specific symbols used as warning symbols have not been explicitly described. Additionally, some of the text formatting has not been carried over in this description. For example, the title (VOTER ALERT) is in large white text over a red banner at the top of the flier. It is my hope that leaving these particular descriptions out will aid in understanding the flier itself; however, should anyone prefer a description of these formatting choices I will be glad to attempt it.

 

I loved playing Berenstein Bears with this controller!

 

More health than fitness but I couldn't find a could place to ask. Basically, I'm not sure where to start with all of this. All of these are from my physicians due to various health conditions I have. I know I need to ramp up to them. All of these are per day.

Also, I'm really looking for ideas, not medical advice, but just fyi I will definitely be presenting a plan to my doc to make sure it works in the context of my medical stuff.

  • 150g protein (currently I don't think I even eat 30g)
  • 10g salt (no idea how much I eat but I take 1.5g salt tablets per day and my family historically doesn't eat much salt)
  • 4-5L fluids (I might drink about 1L...maybe. I can use high water content foods to achieve this goal)
  • Increase brushing to 2x with electric toothbrush (currently use a manual one)
  • Floss 1-2x (i suck at this one)
  • Waterpik (i never do this)
  • Low intensity exercise 2-3 min (not a typo...will increase later) (in a former life I did a lot of high intensity exercises so this is very boring and feels like a waste of time)
  • Lose 30lbs (currently holding steady) (this one is obviously not per day lol) (this one is also less important at this time)

Those are the main ones. Where would you start? And how the hell do you fit an entire 150g of protein in in one day??

My physicians haven't been super helpful with the practical side of things. Also I can't afford a dietician so that's part of what's made this so difficult.

More context that might be of help:

  • I generally eat 3 meals per day, sometimes snacks but not usually
  • I drink mainly electrolyte beverages and water
  • My mental health has sucked for awhile so everything feels impossible
  • My proteins are usually chicken, beef, pork, and sometimes nuts/beans. I also like dairy-based protein drinks. Although I like seafood, my family really doesn't so I have to limit that.
  • No food allergies or religious requirements
  • My range of motion is not limited. I basically just need to keep my heart rate down.
  • Sitting up for long periods is hard, so I've been thinking about starting there so that I can have more fluids more easily
  • I am only allowed to do recumbent exercises or things laying on my back. I can also sit on the edge of a tub or pool. But walking/running/standing exercises are out for now
  • Reminder apps and charts are not really helpful for me, but I would be willing to try more of them
  • I'm an American and we do not weigh our food lol. Even if I started that I have no idea how I would calculate this stuff. 😬 Tips/resources are welcome, though

Thanks for any ideas!

 

Tried to research this but it only told me how to create one, not view it.

My problem is that anytime there is a long image, namely a scrolling screenshot, it is blurry and unreadable when I try to view it. This includes when I just zoom in as well as when I save the image to my own photos and try to view it from there.

So how am I supposed to do it? These (seemingly) aren't low quality images because it happens every time - on here, text messages, search results - and no one else ever says anything about it.

There are no issues viewing other types of images and my phone is updated.

Also, I'm on Android.

 

I have never seen this before. Usually once I click my preferences the screen just goes away. What's the difference between those websites and this one?

Context: I drive a 15+ year old SUV, and I am no longer in the position to just replace everything should anything bad happen. So sadly I will have to buy a newer car at some point. Hopefully not anytime soon 🀞🏼🀞🏼 But, I noticed when shopping with other people that newer cars sound weird. My knowledge of car troubleshooting is little more than sounds good/sounds bad, looks good/looks bad, smells good/smells bad, feels good/feels bad.

So, how are newer cars supposed to sound?

 

Hi,

I am (very, very early) in the process of degoogling. I am definitely not a high risk as far as needing to be completely locked down. It's more about trying to have a little more control over how my data is used.

I am looking at Graphene OS, but I am a little confused how certain apps (that rely on Google services) work. I have a Pixel 8 and will have it for the foreseeable future.

The apps I currently use that I would still need (or their equivalents) are:

  • Clash Royale (Supercell)
  • Notion (Notion Labs)
  • Clickup (Mango Technologies)
  • Business Calendar 2 (Appgenix)
  1. If I installed these exact apps "sandboxed", what exactly does that mean from a user standpoint? Will I have to use a separate account, reboot my phone, etc, or is it a quick process to use the app?

  2. Is there a list of apps that I could browse to find equivalents to the above? Recommendations here are also ok.

  3. I saw that Firefox isn't exactly private(?) and that Vanadium is better in that aspect but I don't understand why. Can someone ELI5, and help me see if this is a relevant concern for me?

Thank you! 😁
