I keep voting Republican and they keep attacking my ability to have a decent life. Weird. No Democrats

Meh. Our big bombers are always in range of anyone in the world because of midair refueling.

I had to support HP Personal Page back in the day. HP can't write software.

While good in the way you outline, you are underestimating HP's fuckwhittery.

This could be the end of Mike Tomlin.

WiFi is already pretty universal in smart automation systems, Matter doesn't matter much when the underlying protocol is Wifi. And since 99% of Matter devices are WiFi...

Tesla was overinflated because it was run as a software startup, where they had money pouring in from venture capital. They had money coming in, but it wasn't simply from sales. Let's see if that stalls too.

But wasn't his Tesla shares used as collateral for the Twitter financing? If Tesla tanks enough, won't his Saudi banking backers raise hell?

Paying contractors for work already done? You know that upsets Trump.

Of course, the Gilded Age wasn't great for regular folks.

Media outlets still can't bring themselves to blame Trump and Republicans.

There are some areas in the south. But overwhelmingly English is spoken.

Excellent stewardship, Microsoft.

Hey all, anyone know if there are any directions on how to swap out to the assist_satellite from this depreciated sensor? Normally when there is a swap like this, the Home_Assistant folks give us some directions, but I can't find squat on this.

 

Hey All, When my desktop was Windows, I'd use my desktop to rip DVD/Blu-rays, move them to the movies folder, then use robocopy to copy just new files from my desktop to my Plex server. Used switches to copy just the new files and folders.

What is the Linux equivalent to do this?

 

Hey All,

I'm looking for a good softphone in Linux. I tried Linphone, but it had the same issue I had in Windows where I could send texts ok, but can't send and receive calls. In Windows, I used Microsip since it worked as soon as I configured it. Linphone seems to be "special." Any suggestions?

And I don't care about video calls.

 

Hey Everyone,

I haven't been active here for camp and the pre-season. My Wife passed away in early July, and it has been hard. I'll get back to it at the start of the regular season. I haven't abandoned the community.

 

Lions kicker Michael Badgley is out for the entire 2024 season with a torn hamstring. Lions are down to just one kicker, Jake Bates.

 

Hey all, noob here. In the system settings of Pop OS I chose dark mode. At first everything was fine. But something happened. This issue is only happening in the Show Applications area. It is dark mode, but the text is all black instead of switching over to a lighter color like it did before. Makes it tough to read as you can see in the screenshot. I've tried flipping to light mode and then back to dark mode several times of varying length with no success. Any tips to get it back to normal?

Bonus issue: I have uninstalled OpenRGB, but it is still showing up in the app list as you can see in the screenshot. Any way to remove it? If I reinstall OpenRGB, I get a second icon.

Hey all, with camp just a few weeks away I'd like to reach out to you and see what you would like to see. After all, this is YOUR forum much more than it is mine.

Anything you'd like to see from me? Any kind of content you'd like to do or take over? Anything I'm doing that annoys the hell out of you?

Generally I've been trying to do an opponent preview on Monday/Tuesday, game thread, and post game thread. And yeah, I've missed occasionally. Sorry.

Let me know what you think.

 

So just got my computer switched over to Pop! OS.

When I open the Pop Shop, the installers don't give me an option to change the location of the app installs. I have 4 disks, 2 nvmes, 2 hard disks. I would prefer to install some of my apps to the 2nd nvme, which I have mounted to /Apps. Mainly the games I will play, along with Stream and Lutris.

Would I need to install from the terminal with apt or nala? I installed nala because it looks cleaner, but we'll see.

 

Joining Pavel in the 2024 class are:
Shea Weber
Jeremy Roenick
Natalie Darwitz (US Women's National team forward)
Krissy Wendell-Pohl (US Women's National team forward)
David Poile (builder category)
Colin Campbell (builder category)

Congrats to the Magic Man!

 

Bates signed a 2 year deal with the Lions after visiting the Packers and Commanders. Bates gained attention in the UFL while on the Michigan Panthers, where he kicked game winning, 64 yard and 62 yard field goals. He was 17 of 22 (77%) for the Panthers, including 7 of 7 from 40-49 yards and 6 of 10 with 50+ yards.

Interesting they gave him a two year deal instead of a one year prove it deal. Maybe they anticipate him winning the job?

 

Lions sign Goff to a 4 year, $212M extension, with $170M guaranteed. The $53M AAV makes Goff the 2nd highest paid player in the NFL, behind Joe Burrow. For now.
