Exactly what I was going to say because this hit me a while back. I still have no good solution; I have to delete shows/movies from the *arr then manually delete them from qbitorrent too.

They are great for ambient noise based on the surroundings. You can also do one or two ‘instant’ sounds like a large door booming. Any more than that and it starts to feel like a radio dj testing all the fart sounds in their mixer.

That last line is one reason we’re able to fish successfully. Even large fish tire out because they can’t pull enough oxygen from the water to struggle forever.

If it’s just piano then it’s basically Muzak. The bus itself may even be playing some imperceptibly which you can harmonize with.

I’ve tried headphones with babies before and it’s hit or miss. One would howl instantly if you put them on him while another loved them.

Seems like you found the least intrusive way to keep your kid calm, which I think most people will appreciate.

Great game. I like that you aren’t generally allowed to talk, so everyone ends up with their own conflicting plans.

I Think You Should Leave is such a gold mine of meme templates.

The trouble is that Management’s only job seems to be turning their problems into our problems. Or maybe it’s just the only thing they’re good at.

I’d believe it’s real. In 2016 I was at a company trying to migrate off an old IBM mainframe and green screens. It wasn’t like an airline with complex or critical code; it was just a barely functional ERP for a warehouse. Source control was the furthest thing from their minds. Some companies and IT departments are very reluctant to change, regardless of how much time and money it save.

It gets worse if you use Microsoft D365 AX products. Then you have to provision an entire Build server for builds which has to run Visual Studio 2019 on Windows 10. To do a build you run a pipeline in Azure DevOps, which runs the compiler in a full Visual Studio 2019 environment, which has to run on a special Azure virtual environment running Windows 10 hosted by Microsoft. It’s so fragile.

Hatchet was such a powerful book when I was a kid. I bet it still holds up, so maybe I should reread it soon.

This is universally the phone your teen sister has when you visit home over the holiday.

He narrates the Minecraft audiobooks my kid listens to as well.

Any mod recommendations for a 5 year old? He’s got a laptop with Debian on it and I’d like to set him up with MineTest, but I’m not sure he can handle the full MineClonia experience.

I have not. Is it worth watching?

I used to think like the OP/image, but now I’m in your camp. You should absolutely eat things you don’t enjoy if they are good for you. But bad pizza crust is just punishing your mouth while gaining weight.

I understand the food waste argument, but it’s wasted whether you eat it or not. You’re wasting just as much if you don’t eat the peel of the banana.

I am personally familiar with that kind of pirate and I definitely appreciate what they do.

Maybe I should cross-post to AskHistory? I’m not looking for anything specific, really more hoping to learn some things while giving Lemmy users a chance to dump info they find interesting.

I will watch all of these. Thanks!

How much evidence do we have for this? I want to believe it since it’s my favorite fact so far, which means I should be extra cautious before believing it.

I loved the show, but never would have guessed it was based on reality. Great facts!
