MY PKCELL

I used Ubuntu for over 10 years. I loved it. But Canonical does have a lot of baggage. Plus, I wanted to go to the source. So that’s why I use Debian. I’d still advise a new user to go for Mint if they loved the Windows UI or Ubuntu if they hated it. If you use and love Mint, I don’t think anyone would criticize you for continuing to use it. If you use and love Ubuntu, I’d say Debian is a very easy next step.

This whole time, I thought their intentions were puree.

I’ll see myself out.

Good. He was nothing but treble anyway.

“I’ve no idea what you’re talking about. This is my chair, and it’s a bloody shame I’m not big enough to move your arse from it when you’ve stolen it.”

Cat, probably.

They probably would have left a trail of nuts and bolts behind them. We’d find them pretty quickly.

Pneumonia contracted from two self inflicted gunshots wounds to the back of the lungs. And to think they thought they could get away with it.

It’s been the same story for years in Oklahoma. For a few years there, we were getting more earthquakes than California.

I’m late to this, but since you asked…

I do my personal budgets in Excel. There are repetitive tasks that could easily be automated. Mostly just duplicating the worksheet and clearing previous entries. Also, I don’t always remember to add the 45¢ surcharge for paying my water bill with an electronic check.

So I spent a whole weekend learning some surface level VBA and wrote a macro. It asks for a confirmation in case I accidentally fat finger my hot key. It duplicates the active worksheet. It wipes all of my previous budget entries. It asks about when I’m getting paid so it knows what order to put it in the workbook. It asks if there’s an upcoming water bill and, if I answer yes, asks how much, then tacks 45¢ onto that. It asks how much money was in the bank prior to being paid, then how much my wife and I got paid. It asks how much money I plan to spend on gas and groceries. It analyzes how much I have set aside for the mortgage. If there’s nothing and it’s after the 15th of the month, it does the whole thing. If there’s nothing and it’s before the 16th of the month, it sets aside half. If there’s anything there at all, it sets aside the remainder, regardless of today’s date. If the full amount is there, it does nothing. It looks at a section I have set aside for my savings account, totals it, writes the balance forward, and clears the previous entries. It reminds me to set aside money for my credit card payments.

Among other things. It took probably took 30 hours to figure it out and write it. But now, given that I use Excel a lot at work, it’s something I can take to the office.

Since getting my toes wet with VBA, I’ve also taken to some very basic bash scripting for things I want to automate on my computers.

I would hardly run the AC if the hottest it got in summertime in Oklahoma City was 90°F. But last year, we had several instances where it got up to 100 or 105. And the dew point was 70-75 degrees all summer. So your sweat hardly evaporates. I run my AC all day to keep it 80 degrees and swampy indoors.

I would love to redo my whole house’s HVAC system where one smallish central unit cools the kitchen and living room and each of the bedrooms have their own ductless mini split. This is one way to achieve zoning. There’s no reason to cool the entire house to 65 degrees if I’m about to be asleep in the bedroom for the next 8 hours. There’s no reason to try to keep the whole house cool when I’m about to spend my day in my home office. Just cool the room I’m in and leave the rest alone.

I could also do window units, but for some reason, my wife is vehemently opposed to them. Her parents just put window units in all their bedrooms and one in their living room. They don’t use the central unit anymore. They only cool the room they’re in right now, and their power bills went from $400 to $150 in summer. They paid for themselves in one season.

Homeland gas station at 24th and Robinson got messed up pretty good. There are a few uprooted trees in front. Looks like it went toward Westheimer after that.

I’m pretty close to this too. By the time the sirens lit up, David Payne was already showing all of the excitement north and east of my house so instead of ducking back in the hidey hole, my wife and I stood out on the front porch to see if we could see anything. We couldn’t. It was too dark and rainy lol

AI rice cooker, anyone?

Spoiler alert: the rice cooking function was analog the whole time.

This makes me wonder how many Lemmy users have optical drives. I do.

I’m a business/accounting grad and I can verify business majors look like this.

I don’t think this lake named itself.

Finally had something good to say about Alabama and they had to go and ruin it.

If the dildo were chilled to -40°…

Honestly, there are worse ways to go.

Don’t forget the soothing splat once it hits the floor from two meters up.

My guy gets high up and projectile vomits to inflict maximum damage lol

I’m sure it’s a soothing place for him but damn, does it make a mess sometimes.

There was a promotion around at the time where if you bought a Windows 7 laptop within a certain time frame, you could get $25 off your Windows 8 Pro license, which cost $40 on launch day.

And so on launch day, I paid $15 for my retail copy of Windows 8 Pro and installed it on my new PC.

Everyone shits on Win 8, but I had some shell extension that brought back the Win 7 start menu so I have somewhat fond memories of Win 8. I almost never had to deal with the Metro Start Screen.
