I’ve been running wow on linux via lutris since BFA.

His Misquoting Jesus podcast is fantastic. Definitely listen if you enjoy Ehrman.

I was employed at this awesome little school but left before Desantis’s stupid anti-woke and DEI crusade. I hope it and the current students/employees don’t suffer too much. I doubt Desantis gets voted out…

Yup, Google Now was actually useful and helpful, so of course they had to get rid of it.

That looks like ranch dressing.

It also does not lock the file, so functions well as a pdf viewer for latex on windows.

Does set-default-sink change an already current stream? Or do you need move-sink-input.

I’ve looked at the manpages but was a bit overwhelmed and didn’t try to make my own script. Your solution gives me motivation to do so. I also use sway and pipewire. Though I use fuzzel for my launcher.

pavucontrol. I switch between usb headset and my external speakers all the time. Continually going to this gui is kind of annoying.

My first linux install was crunchbang. I don’t remember why I picked it. Perhaps i liked the minimalistic look. Ended up not really liking openbox and I vaguely remember running into some problem with debian’s old packages, though I honestly can’t remember what. So I switched to ubuntu, which was great for me as a linux noob.

Well my fiance likes the cat even more than me, so she loves the ramp. The stone wall just outlines a yard. I didn’t do the original landscape, but the backyard was sloped, so the previous owner flattened out a lot of it and then surrounded that part with the brick wall stone/things. You can see the max height of the wall, and that goes along the back fence (the side fence is pictured). I actually turned the back raised area into a garden several years ago, which was also a ton of work, because as I mentioned, the ground is like concrete, and I had to dig it all out and replace with nice soil.

It wasn’t that expensive. Cedar fence posts and 2x4 are pretty cheap.

No. But I can try to describe it.

I cut small lengths of 2x4 (about 6 inches) and screwed these from the top of the catwalk, so that this board is parallel to the walking surface. The posts have a 18 degree cut at the top end, and then I used pocket holes to connect the post to the 2x4 on the underside of the catwalk with 2.5 inch pocket hole screws. If I were do again, I might try dowels. It was basically impossible to clamp properly to screw in the pocket hole screws, and it kept separating a bit. But in the end, everything ended up being very secure.

Not open source, but i’ve been happy with weawow. Free and ad-free.

I’m a big fan of a pizza stone. Wasn’t too expensive and works well for reheating or fresh home-made pizza.

As someone that grades undergraduates, I’m happy that they not use the letter “x” to imply multiplication.

“Sailing is like standing in a cold shower ripping up $100 bills.”

I had a sailboat for a bit when I lived in Vegas. I absolutely loved sailing. I had a relatively small, cheap boat which was fine for lake mead. It was still expensive though. Everything continuously breaks on a boat.

If I hadnt gotten my dream job in Colorado I would have wanted to live near the ocean and own a sailboat.

I switched to raccoon from eternity due to eternity not being updated anymore.

Powerpoint is what made me originally vow to try to never use word or powerpoint again, about 15 years ago. I was making a mathematically-dense presentation and became so frustrated with it that I wanted to throw my computer out the window. I still was somewhat new to latex at the time but figured there had to be some way to make presentations in latex. Found beamer and have never used pp for a real presentation again.

Nope. Played it all the way through when it first came out. But haven’t touched it since then.

I fired up fallout 1 after watching it.
