Is that boiling oil, a la medieval murderholes?! Brutal

Maybe the American ones taste better, but the store bought ones I had years ago were disappointing. Maybe you need to dress them up, these were plain.

Finally, the true reason for the creation of the Steam Machine has been revealed!

Uhhh… oh yeah, heh heh.

This matches my experience. Worst in rural areas, still present to a lesser degree in urban ones.

Personally not a fan of people acting like urban = queer paradise when the city closest to me has had some pretty significant increases in anti-LGBTQ hate crimes:

LACo Reports 2025 Is the Second-Highest for Hate Crimes in 44 Years [highest = 2024]

There were 102 anti-transgender crimes, the largest number ever documented in this report. A staggering 95% of these crimes were violent

Hate crimes targeting non-binary people sharply increased 275% from 4 to 15, higher than 2023, when we began tracking this targeted group

72% of crimes motivated by sexual orientation targeted gay men. This was the second-largest number ever documented for this motivation

But yeah, only rural bad or something.

I am on Linux but haven’t needed to use office software in nearly 20 years, how do you access the pdf printer? Is that different from saving as a pdf through the menu?

Edit: thanks for the help everyone!

Good to know, at the time my brain was absolutely fried so it doesn’t surprise me that I missed it, lol

I used LibreOffice Writer for my coursework the past semester, and when I used my spouse’s Windows computer to double check the images were correctly placed before submitting a paper they were on completely different pages. This was when I saved it as a .docx, because the only two options accepted were .docx or pdf. I wound up doing everything as a pdf if I needed images, but I think LibreOffice doesn’t have a save as pdf option? Or if it did I missed it, I just used Google Docs to save it as a pdf.

Maybe through convergent evolution the pagan solstice celebrations just turned into Christmas. Yay, pagan Whos!

My computer wasn’t compatible with Windows 11, and it’s not that old, dammit. The thought of throwing it out because of some arbitrary push for Windows 11 from Microsoft made me angry, so I finally installed Mint since it’s the one I kept hearing is easiest for people who don’t know anything about Linux. I’ve been using it almost 3 months now and I don’t find it difficult to deal with at all, and the games I play work on it. The biggest hurdle has been compatibility with some school stuff, but I’ve been able to use LibreOffice and Google Docs when all else fails.

Computers aren’t my hobby, running into errors when I just want to get shit done pisses me off. I’ve been dealing with a minimal amount of that on Mint, I imagine mostly because I’m not tinkering with a ton under the hood (mostly aesthetic changes so that it looks how I like). If you have basic troubleshooting skills for Windows then a lot of that transfers to Linux, even though the actual solutions will be different.

If something better than Mint came along I’d probably switch to it, but I don’t know what that would look like, since Mint is doing exactly what I want: running my programs and not popping up with a ton of useless AI crap or ads.

I definitely thought this was posted to !transmemes@lemmy.blahaj.zone at first

If you’re not joking, reach out to your college’s academic support/tutoring centers. They’re literally paid to be there and help you with your classes. Even if you understand all the class content already they can still help you with whatever you’re struggling with, like figuring out how much time a project needs or how to get it started/organized.

I struggled my first go ‘round in college 20 years ago and wish I’d known that, now that I’m going back I’ve been using the support systems the college has a lot more and it’s been paying off.

I wonder if it was inspired by the columnar jointing formations you can find in Iceland?

It made me laugh when it was in response to someone getting mad at me after arguing, but occasionally I’d make a highly upvoted comment that was related to being trans or gay and then get them, and that pissed me off. It’s not possible to prove that’s what happened without access to server logs of course, but I for sure wasn’t talking about being depressed or suicidal or anything like that on Reddit, and it was suspicious at minimum.

I always knew I had won an argument when they stopped replying and I got the Reddit cares message. If the ‘report abuse’ link that was in those messages ever led to consequences I never saw it.

How many restaurants even have 67 or more menu items that you can select by number? This seems like a very niche ‘problem’ for the news to be concerned over

I think red-capped would be a good name too! In general I’m a fan of birds having as many common names as makes sense, haha

There also seems to be a distinct lack of meaning for life for the wealthy. Any changes they could effect with their money means they wouldn’t have the money anymore, so they stop caring about any problems their money could fix (which is a lot of them). Ultimately leading to complete callousness over human suffering.

Red-bellied is completely accurate, you just normally don’t see the belly:

Red-headed was already taken:
