If there’s one thing I truly miss about attending church, it’s getting too see and hear that pipe organ up close. The one my parents took me to had all the pipes up behind and above the stage, so they kind of loomed over everything. I would get entranced just staring at the pipes and not hear a word the pastor was saying.

Your experience is not universal. I quit smoking using the pouches. Sure, some people are just going to use them as their delivery method instead of a cessation aid, but that doesn’t invalidate the ones like me. Stigmatizing the cessation aid hurts people in the long run because smokers will be less likely to pick them up. And if you were a smoker before, you know the smallest excuse will suffice to “delay” your quitting.

ETA: That being said, I find it absolutely vile that the companies making the pouches are the tobacco manufacturers who are getting people addicted in the first place. In a just world, tobacco executives would be treated as the slimy drug dealers they are.

I plan on running this bad boy until it bites the dust. And then I’ll get an AMD card so I have an easier time with the drivers. Took me days to get my games running on Debian.

Out of curiosity, do you have an Nvidia graphics card? I tried migrating to Linux at the beginning of this year, but I couldn’t get my favorite games to run, like Cyberpunk 2077 and Kingdom Come Deliverance, so I ended up bailing.

But “lawyers have notoriously been pretty bad about securing data,” Edelson suggested, so “the idea that you’ve got a bunch of lawyers who are going to be doing whatever they are” with “some of the most sensitive data on the planet” and “they’re the ones protecting it against hackers should make everyone uneasy.”

I know corporations are normally full of themselves, but wow OpenAI is so hilariously cocky about how they’re so vital to the future of the human race.

The terror inflicted upon Native American peoples has been complete, it seems. AIM is a good example of what happens when you step out of line with the controlled opposition.

I just assembled a VERY similar looking one with different materials a couple weeks ago. Mine had a plywood and denim facade around the steel frame, and two dozen 2x4s to support the mattress. I think it was around $200 from a local furniture store. Im guessing they imported it. Lol

Honestly, just because I could, and once I had done it, I just liked the way it looked, so I’ve kept it. That, and I remember it being a pain to change in One UI. I don’t remember how I did it, and the process is probably different by now anyways, so I’d have to look it up, and I’m not about to do all that again.

This is my first time seeing another person using monospace font for social media in the wild. I’ve changed my phone’s system font to Fira Code to make almost everything monospace.

Until 2023, it was federally illegal to possess any illegal drugs along with a firearm, and drug users were barred from buying firearms.

Side columns like that should be illegal. I was driving my stepdad’s '21 Silverado 1500 crew cab a few weeks ago and was totally blown away when I almost pulled out in front of someone coming from the right in a big ass truck.

I don’t get how these people even feel comfortable driving something where you can’t see the road that’s in front of you for 10+ meters out. I just wouldn’t feel safe, there could be any kind of obstruction you can’t see on the road from 10m away but will still fuck up your day and/or life.

The freebies haven’t even been worth the trouble for a long time

This is how my friend in Florida got his bag full of airsoft guns past a school resource officer - he just told her the bag was full of guns. Apparently that works on Florida cops. 🤷‍♂️

Someone remind me, what’s the first chapter in On Tyranny?

Gentoo with OpenRC is a good option imo

I hate to be the one to tell you this, but I’m not entirely sure that what you were cleaning was soap. 👀

Shoot, I was supposed do mine on the first. Thanks for reminding me.

Damn, and they even pathologized it. I guess some things never change.

PSA: Nova Launcher’s owning company sells their user data. It was a good launcher when it first came out, but it’s been nothing but a downward spiral from there.

Edit for clarity: I don’t mean the app itself. It is owned by an entity that exists to sell consumer data.
