Can I hook a Wii Balance Board to it to track my weight?

My first experience with Linux was trying to install TurboLinux 6 from a CD I got at a HAM Fest.

Short story shorter, I didn’t successfully use Linux the first time until I tried a different distro (probably Debian?) a few years later.

How fast did Napoleon do it?

Me: triggered by you failing to present that in the form of a “we are not the same” meme

Sigh… Better get out the ol’ PSA:

Don’t Date Robots!

demonstrate understanding and application of the concepts, rather than just recite stuff

That’s how it should be anyway. I suspect the only reason all schools don’t do it that way is that it would cause too many students (and teachers) to fail.

The first mention of Cetacean Ops, in the Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual published in 1991, predates SeaQuest DSV by two years.

For a minute there I thought there was Chris, Chris, and Brian and that a table of Vikings was about to start chanting “Krebs!”

wa’, cha’, wej, loS, vagh, jav, Soch, chorgh, Hut, wa’maH

(I can also do English, Latin, Spanish, French, and Japanese.)

You mean Brian Krebs?

Arts & Crafts also developed into the ornate art styles of Art Nouveau and Art Deco.

Those are still modernism! They may be more ornate than than a Mondrian painting or something, but they sure aren’t “ball and claw foot” ornate.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arts_and_Crafts_movement :

Some consider that it is the root of the Modern Style, a British expression of what later came to be called the Art Nouveau movement.[4] Others consider that it is the incarnation of Art Nouveau in England.[5]

Also, for that matter, from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_Nouveau :

The term Art Nouveau was first used in the 1880s in the Belgian journal L’Art Moderne to describe the work of Les Vingt, twenty painters and sculptors seeking reform through art. The name was popularized by the Maison de l’Art Nouveau (‘House of the New Art’), an art gallery opened in Paris in 1895 by the Franco-German art dealer Siegfried Bing. In Britain, the French term Art Nouveau was commonly used, while in France, it was often called by the term Style moderne (akin to the British term Modern Style), or Style 1900.[9] In France, it was also sometimes called Style Jules Verne (after the novelist Jules Verne), Style Métro (after Hector Guimard’s iron and glass subway entrances), Art Belle Époque, or Art fin de siècle.[10]

Art Nouveau is known by different names in different languages: Jugendstil in German, Stile Liberty in Italian, Modernisme in Catalan, and also known as the Modern Style in English.

***edit: why tf am I being downvoted for sharing objective fact about the Arts & Crafts movements at the turn of the century?

My guess is that it’s because Arts & Crafts is a foundational form of modernism and is thus kinda the opposite, stylistically speaking, of carving ornate feet like OP pictured.

I appreciate you transcribing your drawl.

“Cetacean ops” is the name of the section.

Also, even ships much smaller than the Galaxy-class have it, too. It’s shown on-screen in Lower Decks!

Stuff like Gorilla Glass and Apple’s “sapphire” glass used on smartphone screens are also compounds of aluminum. You’re very likely carrying transparent aluminum in your pocket right now and didn’t even know it.

Your second paragraph should’ve been your clue. The “chat” they’re talking about is the chat attached to a YouTube or Twitch stream. It’s influencer brainrot slang.

I agree, GNU/Linux is awkward and dumb.

So I just call it “GNU.”

Imagine thinking that the guy who invented the concept of Free Software and built an entire compiler toolchain and userspace is “coat-tailing” on the guy who only made a kernel.

It would look like leather, except that cowhides are big enough to cut into reasonably large rectangular panels and human skins aren’t.

(On a related note, one way you can tell a leather sofa is high-quality is by checking the back: if it’s made of several stitched-together strips, that’s good. If it’s one big piece, they cheaped out and used vinyl 'cause cows aren’t that big.)

This being Lemmy, the following reply is inevitable so I might as well be the one to post it:

No, the way you solve world hunger is by stopping sociopaths from hoarding the food and wealth. We’ve got plenty of resources to feed everyone already; they’re just very unevenly distributed.
