Almost panicked thinking it was a busted water pipe (but confused because to my knowledge there is no pipe in those walls), but it turns out I hadn’t fully sealed a crushed water bottle and that was what was making the noise.

So almost not a dull start to today. But dull after all. 😅

But they do answer their own questions when they figure it out.

For anyone who is curious.

I will miss you. I hope that whatever’s out there will finally give you the long-deserved sense of peace and safety you never got in this life. You deserve it.

The boys will miss you too. Fridays will never be the same (Who’s that at the door? Is that the boys? Go get ‘em!!).

I miss you so much.

About a month ago, I posted my best time on a 3x3 Rubik’s Cube (1:23.033). After learning a new opening technique, and lots of practice, I am proud to say my new best time is now 1:09.825!!

The image are my times tonight. I started at 1:16.428, and I hit some tough solves before finishing at my new best. I never imagined I’d be this close to 1:00.

But that’s for another day. I’m ending my night on a high note. Good night, Fediverse.

First, I want to say that I will be talking to a vet about this as soon as I can. In the meantime, I am hoping someone here might have experience and could help ease my mind. These spots all of a sudden showed up on my dog under her front-right leg. It does not appear to bother her when I press on it, and has not grown in size. She is less than 5 years old, and spends most of her time inside. There do not appear to be any indications of a bite mark or other laceration. As far as I know, she has not been exposed to any chemicals. I bathed her two weeks ago.

Any ideas?

So I have a recipe that ended with “tent with aluminum foil and let rest for 5 minutes.” I never heard this phrase before, so I looked it up. There were multiple lengthy articles (for example) and it all comes down to: cover your food in aluminum foil to keep moisture from evaporating.

😡

That’s 5 minutes I will never get back.

One article went so far as to suggest using broom handles or sticks. That one was kinda funny. 😂

My oldest can do ~53 seconds. I’ll never be THAT good, but damn I’m getting close.

My state is actively ruining employees’ lives by reducing taxes for businesses (less revenue), which is making it so that the state cannot afford raises and are constantly increasing healthcare costs for employees.

I would love to do something, and the only thing I can think of that would have any meaningful impact would be to sue the state. But I have no idea what that process would take, nor do I personally have funds to hire a lawyer.

I hear about class-action lawsuits all the time, and would be interested in understanding their process better.

1. How would I find a lawyer/firm that would be interested in taking the case?
2. Can you even sue a state for this sort of thing?
3. Aside of maintaining my anonymity to avoid retaliation, what else should I be aware of in case this process gets off the ground?

Edit: Clarity

I have an old Xbox One X (the 1tb model) that I would love to turn into a Linux box to do self hosting. While I do my best to find tutorials online for installing Linux, I was hoping I could pick y’all’s brains on your experiences for upgrading:

1. Best hard drives to use (internal and/or USB3)?
2. Can the RAM be upgraded?
3. Can the Bluray be replaced with a hard drive?
4. Anything else I’m missing and don’t know to ask about?

Thanks!

I have looked at software like Sweet Home 3D, OpenPlan3D, and various cloud-based services that cost money. As nice as they look, they each have severe limitations -- main the inability to create accurate measurements for walls. For example, Sweet Home 3D doesn't give enough precision to create a wall with a 9/16 fraction. OpenPlan3D the field is disabled.

I would like to be able to build a 2D floor plan, but also be able to convert it into a 3D model that I can then add furniture to for interior decorating. I would prefer open source, but would settle for simply free to use.

A hob-byte.

Looks like humor is back on the menu boys!

You all have spoken, and we have listened. The team and I, as well as Lemmy.world Admins, have come to an agreement that any artist/comic that is deemed to be transphobic, racist, or in any other way demonstrates bigotry toward any group or minority will be removed from circulation. We will keep a list of banned artists in the sidebar and update it as new artists are uncovered.

Now, let's discuss details:

1. You the reporter have the burden of proof for why an artist or comic breaks this rule; ¸ "they're fascist/racist/sexist/it's Tuesday" is not sufficient
2. Repeated posting of banned artists will result in progressive punishment/moderated actions, up to being permanently banned
3. Think Paradox of Tolerance when determining what bigotry means; e.g.,
   • Demeaning conservatives or other politicians (e.g., Devil's Panties) is not rule breaking
   • Demeaning women, the LGBTQ+ community, etc is rule breaking
   • Anything we consider to be a bad faith post, or trying to skirt the rules because of some perceived loophole

The current list of banned artists include:

1. Jago
2. Stonetoss

This is not an all-encompassing list, and are subject to moderator's (and admin's) final decisions. Questions, feedback, and playful banter are always welcome.
