It has always amused me that the tourists to the US that I’ve spoken to are often very excited to see raccoons, and disappointed if they don’t see them before they leave....
Damn, getting some hate for this post. Thanks, I guess. Lemme rephrase this post title, since this is the part I was curious about in the beginning anyway til everyone fixated on the “tion” and ignored the original ask altogether.
I like the concept of the iOS/Android app BeReal. Your app tells you randomly during the day that you have to take a combined picture (frond and back camera). So you don’t have much time to prepare. Then this pic is uploaded and friends who follow you can see it....
Are they some graphic card benchmark for linux environment ? From my windows experience, drivers are important, and often underestimate. My linux gaming experience is very bad, lots of my game are unstable, and others use a lot more resources than with windows. However, when I ask people, some of them have no issue at all, even...
and each closed-source drivers version only works with a single kernel version. It might work OK as long as the drivers and kernel are kept in sync (I think Pop! or Nobara have nVidia specific versions for this reason), but otherwise each kernel upgrade is a risk.
Are you sure this is true? I make no attempt to keep my kennel and driver in sync and have never had any problems at all. I’m pretty sure you’re wrong about this
Plus nVidia drivers are basically shit with Wayland and cause a ton of issues.
This is kind of true, but overstating. I use nvidia with Wayland also the time and, apart from some games, it works really well. Many of those issues will be fixed when explicit sync is released.
That all said, is she that AMD is currently best for Linux.
It bugs me when people say “the thing is is that” (if you listen for it, you’ll start hearing it… or maybe that’s something that people only do in my area.) (“What the thing is is that…” is fine. But “the thing is is that…” bugs me.)...
If we’re just using “magic” to distribute animals then I want a Wombat who’s been magically shattered to actually make a good pet and who won’t burrow under the fence into my neighbour’s gardens.
Mammals don’t need to be pregnant to lactate or, at least, they need to have been pregnant, but, after that, as long as they keep being “milked” they’ll continue to lactate. I know you weren’t necessarily saying otherwise, but just for clarity.
I used to work with a guy who genuinely thought all dairy cows were forcibly kept permanently pregnant in order to produce milk.
Unless you claim, as OP did, that you can actually disprove it.
I agree that the Bible is not sufficient in the sense that it proves anything or sews up their arguments, but to suggest its historical value as evidence is the same as modern day fiction is absurd.
None of this is new or hasn’t been thought about, written about and deflated for centuries. I doubt you have any theologians shaking in their boots.
The meaning of omnipotence as it translates to Good has always been nuanced. There have always been things God can’t do - sin being the obvious example. You could debate whether he can, but just never would because of his character, but it amounts to the same thing and has been orthodoxy for centuries.
The apparent contradictions on the Gospels (especially synoptic) have been done to death. Debated and answered more times than you’ve had hot dinners. There is no serious theologian or biblical scholar who would hear that argument and be at all concerned by it.
Honestly the same applies to the idea of a good god and suffering.
And that’s fair enough. Claiming you can definitively disprove the existence of the Christian God and having some objections that you haven’t heard a convincing response to aren’t the same thing though…
Domestic cats. Partly because they poop in my garden, but mostly because they’re secretly planning to take over the whole world and enslave the human race.

TIL the origin of the word 'dog' is an etymological mystery. (The same is true about the word 'squid' but obviously I already knew that.) (www.dictionary.com)
