This will never work as a barrier, I’m told Gaza is riddled with tunnels.

Is there any way we can get Boeing to replace them?

I’ve used the Stevia-based baking mix (it’s mostly Erithitol) and it’s very bitter if I taste some straight. But when using it in chocolate chip cookies or coffee it’s fine. I’ve also tried the Zevia pop ^(don’t^ ^start^ ^a^ ^political^ ^argument)^ and it tastes bitter there too.

Otherwise aspartame has a strong diet flavor to me.

Anyone using KeePass with Syncthing?

I’ve been using Dropbox to sync my KeePass database for years, but I want to switch to Syncthing. My only concern is losing a password due to file versioning. Usually if I have KeePass open on both my phone and PC, there will be a conflict when saving to database, so Dropbox creates a conflicted copy. In some cases that means...

I do this with 4 different devices and it just works. I wouldn’t leave the vault file open on any device I’m not actively using though.

Keepass XC (Windows) has a setting “automatically reopen the database when modified externally”. If the file is open and Syncthing updates it from somewhere else, it should open the new file and prompt for the password again.

Have you considered giving it a raise? ^(ba^ ^dum^ ^tsss)^

“Carrying a World Passport enables you to identify yourself as an individual…”

And it does literally nothing else.

“Although the World Passport has been recognized by most countries previously, there is no guarantee…”

Uhhh, yeah, I recognize that. It’s bullshit. Guaranteed.

“The wealthiest countries, especially those in North America and Western Europe, are the most restrictive and may reject your claim of your right to travel, in violation of their human rights obligations.”

None of us have been stupid enough to try using this in a 3rd world country.

“…the fees are non-refundable.”

Yeah, that tracks.

If you can get factory work somewhere with a union, the pay is high, stress is minimal, and the overtime is optional. I was an engineer at a place with a unionized shop. They went on strike, so the company recruited the office to work production until they could get real scabs in. Zero stress for two weeks.

The point is to find some place with a union. If you go somewhere without a union, the pay is shit, management will treat you like shit, and you’re expendable. Plus, mandatory overtime.

Knights among toner cartridges (infosec.pub)

(Business people) speaking a language familiar and dear to them. Its portentous nouns and verbs invest ordinary events with high adventure; executives walk among toner cartridges, caparisoned like knights. We should tolerate them - every person of spirit wants to ride a white horse. -William Strunk Jr. (The Elements of Style)

Is that a page-feed scanner? Anyone that hands me a sheet of paper had better realize it’s going to sit on my desk until the end of the day, and then get dumped in the recycling.

All states currently have their own rules regarding who can be on a presidential ballot. Did SC just give that power to Congress?

ballotpedia.org/Presidential_candidates,_2020

Every state has a different number of candidates on their ballot, because every state has different requirements to be on their ballot. Is this ruling going to require every state to accept every candidate? Even those with no chance of winning? Who should decide when someone has no chance of winning? (Silly question, it’s the state, of course.)

You didn’t look at the link, did you? There’s a map that shows the number of presidential candidates on the ballot in each state. If the federal government was in charge of presidential candidates, wouldn’t all those numbers be the same?

DemBoSain,
@DemBoSain@midwest.social avatar

You just won my argument for me. Those are all state rules limiting who can be on a ballot. The state used to make the rules, now it seems there are no limitations whatsoever.

They’re not uniform. That’s the whole point of my post.

Games have been steadily driving away from story-oriented to action-oriented since they began. I expect ES6 to be some type of Dark Souls clone.

DemBoSain,
@DemBoSain@midwest.social avatar

Yeah, but those were meant to be quick, quarter-driven games. Think of Zork and those games (all text). Think of the old Sierra games (King’s Quest 1 had text commands, KQ5(?) was point-and-click).

As computer speed and graphics have grown, story has often suffered.

I’ve never played, but the videos I’ve seen look like a button-mashing nightmare. And I think you underestimate the Elder Scrolls lore.

Treasury Direct Account

When a baby is born, sovereigns believe that the government funds a secret Treasury account in that baby’s corporate shell name, based on that person’s future earnings. This account can be accessed by writing special checks to pay taxes, mortgage balances and other debts. Sovereigns variously believe the account’s value is between $600,000 and $20 million.
