Microsoft is trying to restore Bing as the default search engine on users’ browsers by spinning it as a “repair” through a utility app called PC Manager....
Every time I bring up transit/rail here, everyone gets so pessimistic about it. Having the option to take rail is so underrated and I don’t think anyone really understands the potential. The excuse usually is “no one will use it” and “no one wants to pay for that, where will the funding come from? My taxes”.
We won’t know until we actually try. To me there is no point to ask “what if?” And then snuff things out in protest. I really want to see some change to public transport and something like this could be the start.
Marijuana is its own special category, but club drugs (which for some reason include date rape drugs), inhalants and steroids are all in a “miscellaneous” category together?...
I love the idea that this isn’t a smear campaign but a promotional one haha. You’re right this article mostly reads “Apart from some shakes and wanting more later, these are all a great time” lmao.
I'm dual booting Pop_OS and Windows 11 for now while l try things out. I went with Pop_OS for the NVIDIA drivers, since I have a NVIDIA card. Installation went smoothly, but setup is where things started to get a little weird....
Someone correct me if I’m wrong but if you’re using stock Pop_OS it uses xorg by default as the compositor which iirc has issues with multiple monitors on different refresh rates. You can edit your .config file to enable the Wayland compositor and give it a try and see if it works!
If you haven’t already check ProtonDB for compatibility on your steam library! Anti cheat is usually a no go but some games will work. Non steam games you’ll have to check something like Lutris/Heroic for support.
My parents raised me to always say “yes sir” and “no ma’am”, and I automatically say it to service workers and just about anyone with whom I’m not close that I interact with. I noticed recently that I had misgendered a cashier when saying something like “no thank you, ma’am” based on their appearing AFAB, but...
Working at a gas station, most of the truckers that came in would call me “boss” or “chief” which I thought was funny. Like “thanks boss” or “how’s it going chief”. Not sure its for everyone but its certainly neutral in my eyes.
German industrial production is expected to fall further behind this year, after a dip in 2023. The usually strong manufacturing sector had already taken a hit because of higher energy prices....
This is the way. You can avoid the funky Satan’s anus portion like normal and you get to open it incredibly quickly. Bonus you get two halves that are easy to use for peanut butter + banana ‘hotdogs’.
Hiya peeps, my mouse mat has served its time, and it is time for a new one. Until now, I’ve had one of these huge ones, that cover half the desk. But I think this time I’m gonna aim for a normal-sized one. I’d also like to avoid cheap Chinese wares or anything low-quality. Anyone got any nice recommendations for mousepads?...
Artisan makes some quality deskpads if you are interested in spending a little extra. Otherwise a generic deskmat will do the trick and you won’t be too worried about dirtying it or ruining it.
Can’t say I’ve run into Linux oriented mouse/deskpads but it’s likely one search term away!
Any recommendations for an sport/activity tracking app? FOSS would be super but I’m open to all suggestions! I’ve been walking more and wondering just how far I’ve been going and at what pace....
I’m surprised this number isn’t lower than half already. I figured by now, any shows airing regularly could simply be streamed right from the source rather than waiting for a timeslot and ads.
Or is there a reason to keep using cable over streaming?
Not sure about the 30 year amortization but adding more RRSP contribution potential sounds like you are making home buying easier for the people who already have extra money.
Like was that extra 25k stopping anyone from putting a down payment on a home? If someone is able to save at least 35k let alone 60k in an rrsp, I don’t think the housing market is out of reach. It’s out of reach for the people who are being priced out of renting, eating well, and just living in general.
As the title says. Looking for something zero drop with a wide-ish toe box that can be worn to semi-formal / dress type events. Would love any community input!
I know Softstar makes full on Oxfords, BeLenka has some dressy options that aren’t necessarily strict dress shoes. I bought a pair of BeLenka icons in black that certainly perform in most dressed up settings. Currently Belenka don’t have it in stock on the website but they have something close in the ‘synergy’ lineup.
I read posts about people quitting jobs because they’re boring or there is not much to do and I don’t get it: what’s wrong with being paid for doing nothing or not much at all?...
As long as you can keep busy that way it is fine to have those jobs with downtime! The challenge arises when, for example, the workplace doesn’t allow personal cellphones on site or in the work area. Or perhaps there is an expectation to look busy all the time so you don’t have the leisure to read or write. I’ve had the luxury to have a job where I can relax a fair bit and have some enjoyable free time with your pastimes listed above.
My previous job was at a workplace with no useable internet, poor cellular signal, and no phones allowed while working policy. Very strict to always be doing something to look busy but when there is nothing to do it gets dreadful.
Just buy a pre built, take all the parts out and put em back in for the full experience. It really feels like a new build if you leave it apart for a few weeks so you forget where everything was!
