“I don’t believe in germ theory,” she said, “I don’t believe in contagion,”

Ah, yes, I agree. It’s definitely the four humors that actually cause disease. “Covid-19” is just caused by a build up of phlegm. I just haven’t figured out why the build up of phlegm spreads from person to person… hmmm.

I wasn’t trying to suggest that it would be impossible- it’s obviously not. Just that it would be a difficult adjustment.

Yeah, Japanese is written right to left, top to bottom. Traditionally, at least.

Afaik it’s no longer fissioning, and it hasn’t been for awhile. So it’s not actually molten, and not particularly hot at all.

Imagine trying to read that tho. Suddenly English is formatted vertically.

That’s a very interesting read, thank you.

And off of them if you fuck up, I’d imagine.

Lovely, I’m glad there’s more than one of these hellplants.

An actual answer: you very quickly learn to pull in a way that prevents your fingers from slipping onto the prongs

…Do you, though? Because this thread is the first time I’ve considered this as a problem- which I agree it could be better designed in general but especially for child safety purposes- and I’ve been around American plugs my entire life. I’ve never been shocked, unless we’re counting the time I grabbed an electric fence because I was an idiot teenager being goaded by other idiot teenagers.

You just… grab the plug by the plug part? It doesn’t really require any kind of special technique to not touch the metal bits. Maybe I just have big hands? Realistically, I probably couldn’t fit between the wall and the plug while it was still inserted enough to be live.

I’ve always heard them called sand spurs, and they’re the devil. Nothing in nature needs to be that sharp, ffs.

At least chestnuts have the decency to be really localized and large, despite being spikey balls of evil. These little fuckers are miniature, everywhere, and can hide in carpet for a solid six months before you notice them the one time you decide to go barefoot.

I’m so glad we don’t have these where I live.

I don’t need to make sense of error messages. Which is good because I usually can’t.

I just need them copy/pasteable cuz that shit is going in Google and I’d rather not manually type it.

Ha, I didn’t remember what I used so I grabbed my phone to try Librera FD, and realized I already use it.

They definitely exist, but it feels like stubbornness at that point. It absolutely isn’t a lack of capability, it’s a lack of willingness.

There’s a comm on lemmy.dbzer0.com. Alternatively, google FMHY. When I bailed from Spotify, I just used SpotDL to download all my music a playlist at a time. Worked fine, but might be a bit beyond your skill level to set that up.

It’s really just storage space that’s the limiting factor for me. I’m already uninstall/reinstall juggling a few games as it is so carving a partition to play with Linux hurts.

At some point I’ll grab a third SSD and make half of it a linux partition or something.

Uh, really? The English version is pretty convincing that it is- it even lists three different methods they used over the years. The sources seem convincing, but I’m quite literally judging the book by it’s title there.

I haven’t, but I’m very intrigued and will have to give it a shot.

Well, that seems really neat. No Windows support, though, so I’ll check back in when I eventually finally definitely jump to Linux…

Oooooh, as someone that loves OSRS but finds it to be a bit too much of a time sink I’m very very intrigued. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

I’ve been playing a lot of Mechwarrior Online and Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries recently, but Singleplayer Tarkov just released their 4.0 update/overhaul so I’m starting that as well.
