They don’t need to. But they know what an engine is, don’t they? Even if they know nothing else about it? It’s the part of the car that goes vroom and makes everything else possible.

Appears empty to me, apparently you have to enable NSFW content for it to show. Just letting everyone know.

Your sacrifice is greatly appreciated! Also, what the hell, since when can tweets be novels?

I want to see the rest of that quoted tweet. There aren’t a lot of ways to finish that sentence that would make sense.

This is the pedantry I came here for. 5/5

Oh, I do that too, of course. But then after a month I give up and use the brush. Then a day later a new stain appears and the cycle continues.

I just wanted to comment that factoid about the toilet brush. Hoping someone would chime in and admit they’ve never owned one!

Oh, of course!

It turns out that in some parts of the world, people have not heard of toilet brushes.

Where does that put Judaism? Just a bare Linux kernel without the rest of the OS?

This is fantastic. Thanks for posting the reddit link, which has now been edited further:

EDIT 2: Apparently I also owe an apology to the small (but vocal) contingent who really wanted this to be minotaur smut. I’m doing my part. Now get typing.

Be the change you want to see in the world.

And the linked thread is basically a writing competition that the author is hosting with a $100 prize. The title is “Announcing the 2026 Beefhammer Prize For Excellence in Minotaur Erotica”. Lovely!

I imagine “snews” would be pronounced kind of like “snooze”, so it’s funny that it’s intended to be the polar opposite of an alarm snooze :)

Too true :(

I don’t use one myself for much the same reason as you. But I think a lot of people just need their phone and up to 3 cards (credit card, license/ID of some sort), so a wallet phone case isn’t that much bulkier than a simple phone case. Yeah there’s other things you’d put in a wallet, but they aren’t strictly everyday carry things, so you can put them in a separate wallet or purse/bag and only take that when you need it.

For my mom I think she just likes a case with a front cover, and it happens to have space for cards so she uses it. So the “bulk” of it is a direct result of what she’s after (the front cover), it doubling as a wallet is just a bonus.

I can never see it as cool, maybe because my mom uses one. But it’s practical.

I highly doubt they were talking about gaming.

Maybe the necessary codecs just aren’t installed in Debian by default? Mint and Ubuntu are targeted at laptops for general use, so it makes sense they’d bundle all Bluetooth codecs in a default installation to be ready for most users. But Debian makes fewer assumptions like that, and is often used for servers, so perhaps they didn’t want to bloat it with codecs that many installations will never need.

I’m just guessing here, but that makes sense to me.

You’ve got some courage standing in the middle of the street with no visibility like that. A car can just appear out of the blue and run you over. Glad it didn’t!

Though, if it was as quiet as it looks then you could reasonably expect to hear a fast car long before it got near, so perhaps it’s not as dangerous as it looks.

I never actually had to deal with Bluetooth issues on Linux so take this with a grain of salt.

BT audio devices generally support multiple different encodings, for example aptX, but they can always fall back to the most basic and most horrible codec that is universally supported on any BT host device. Sounds like that’s what’s happening. So you might want to look into why your PC isn’t using the better options.

Out of curiosity, what do you recommend instead?

Any job to do with food. Restaurant, bar, cafe, pizzeria, whatever. I just feel utterly incompetent there.

And it’s not just cooking, even being a cashier or delivery guy is impossible for me. I can’t put it into words, but I am just incapable of doing it.
