If you can't beat 'em, beat them up

For those that choose to vote early I will not judge them.

I’m voting on Election Day. Part because I don’t feel like voting early, part as a way to thumb my nose at those who would try to make me live in fear.

For those without a bank account but need to buy something online, yeah the gift card is a good idea.

I’d still give them the cash and let them buy the gift card they want.

[–] andrewta@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Can’t argue with any of that

Depending on where you live, gift cards legally can’t expire. They only become worthless if the company goes out of business.

The rest of what you said I agree with

Yeah if this was some idiot who just decided on his own to release them. Someone is going to jail. Unless it's a politician, then they might get kicked off a committee,... Maybe

Character - Optimus Prime & Megatron

Toys - Fortress Maximus , I always wanted that toy. I just thought it would be cool to make multiple robots into one.

And

Shockwave , I just like the design of the robot and the gun mode

For both toys I’m talking about the original version. Not remakes or re releases

A solid financial advisor/attorney will be able to give you ideas on where to put that money what to do with it. And they will be able to tell you whether or not the government can or cannot see it.

Do they not make the valve?

The volt is hybrid both gas and electric

Hyundai sonata 2017

The door hinges do not hold the doors open. If the car is on a slight incline or a very slight wind the doors will slam shut. Better not have an arm or leg in the way.

The rear view mirror is set so low in the window that it blocks view of front right of the window.

The seats are hard as rocks. You can literally feel a metal bar that goes left to right through the seat. It’s right under your butt.

I’ll never buy another Hyundai again. Zero chance.

Read the previous comments. I’m responding to what is wrote

 

Did it twice now. It sucks. Just my opinion. Most times I couldn’t even figure out where to go.

 

My mom would not be able to wear a hat during the summer obviously heat would stay in and she would get too hot. She needs a wig, but that wig should, for lack of a better phrase, breathe.

So it doesn’t hold the heat in near the scalp.

Is there a wig that is like that? Or do all wigs effectively hold heat to the scalp?

Edit: I'm sorry if I wasn't clear. That's on me. I meant will a wig be more warm then normal hair?

 
 

In settings, sounds, system sounds, there is an option for system clicks

I have that turned off, but everything's I tap the keyboard it clicks. How do I turn off the clicking sound?

Apple says sounds &haptics but I can't find that option

Edit: solved : I have a third party keyboard SwiftKey installed. That was what was doing it. Forgot I had that installed. Dealing with this for a year. Lol

I think this would do it

https://github.com/the-allanc/minty-color-titles

It says to put it into the .config/gtk-3.0 folder

But I can’t find a .config folder. I found an /etc/gtk-3.0 folder.

Would that directory work?

Is there a better way to change the title bar color?

 

company?

I mean how did it work?

I have two internal hard drives in my pc, one has windows 11 and one is for extra storage.

I hooked up an external USB drive to install Linux onto. During the install it says

Device for boot loader installation

And then it gives me a number of options

/dev/nvme0n1 (this I think is what my windows 10 is at)

/dev/nvme0n1p1

/dev/nvme0n1p3

/dev/nvme0n1p4

/dev/sda ATA WDC WD10EZEX-00W (1.0 TB) Ii think this is the other internal drive

/dev/sda2

/dev/sdb WD easystore 2647 (1.0 TB)

/dev/sdb1

I think the easystore is my external drive. The problem is they are both 1T in size and both western digital.

How do I know which is which?

Just above where it says "device for boot loader installation" it shows

If I try to click on /dev/sdb I can't click on install now.

On the basis that I should be trying to install in /dev/sdb what am I doing wrong to actually start the install process?

Yeah I'm new to Linux. I need help to do it right and not nuke my windows install

 

I know, I can create a live CD of Linux, I know I also can create a bootable Linux installation on a jump drive. I’m curious is can I actually do a full install of mint Linux on an external drive and actually run it that way. When I say run it I mean actually add packages remove packages, etc. i’m asking because I have a currently working Windows 10 computer. And until I really understand Linux especially how to properly install it. I prefer not to screw something up on a working system. I figured install it to an external Drive and then just tell the bios, don’t boot the windows drive just boot into the external Drive.

Would this actually work?

 

I know the ng means nanogram

But I’m curious how would I say the above line of 2.1 ng/kg

For context I got it from this paragraph

a lethal dose of 1.3–2.1 ng/kg in humans

Would it be

2.1 nanogram per kilogram?

Also if I wanted to write that as a decimal number how would i write that?

 

Hope a YouTube video is ok.
