My dad had a brown 76 Triumph TR6 stored in our garage when I was young. Spent years wishing I could fix it up myself.

The superstition is due to old soaps which contained lye. That will desire you seasoning.
Modern soaps don’t contain any lye. You just want to make sure you dry it quickly after washing it.

Okay, sure, but how often does it spam ads?
Does it keep asking me to register for something that either shouldn’t need registering or exist at all? Does it tell me to subscribe for a service every time I open up the terminal?
We all need one or two ads, as a treat.

However, the punishment for violating this is a fine which hasn’t been updated in decades. The rail companies realized a long time ago that it’s better to just take the fine instead of actually following the law.

This is definitely AI but similar ovens used to be built and, I’m sure, still are.
However, there are still plenty of issues.
Open flame plus a flammable painting. And the painting is right over the oven where it will get covered in grease. And that’s a gas range with no hood.
There’s a reason ovens usually open from the top these days. It’s safer and allows you to peak without opening the entire oven or leaning at an odd angle. Locking handles are also no longer used because little kids can climb in and accidentally get stuck.
The multiple drawers sounds like a good idea but it just means that you can’t cook large dishes. Usually you’d only see styles like this in restaurant kitchens because they will know how large of an oven they need and can benefit from having multiple sizes for different dishes.
You get people to “pledge” donations. It’s partly about raising awareness for the charity and partly because a lot of people are more likely to donate to these types of drives versus donating just because.
It’s exactly (C*9/5)+32. That’s not a rough formula, it’s exact.
Wait, we’re the hicks?!
Actually, that explains so much.
Yes, but there’s zero evidence the dinosaurs didn’t have time machines.
I’m pretty certain that you can turn Relay off in your account settings.

First you have to buy the DVD writer and then you also have to get yourself blank DVDs.
He didn’t go to Heaven but he did go to a sort-of limbo - Sheol/Hades. Kind of like a shoe closet but for souls.
droans@midwest.socialto Fuck AI@lemmy.world•They've ruined a near perfect calculatorEnglish8·6 months agoIf you want to ask a question to an LLM, you need to go down to an arcade and exchange your quarters for tokens. Then you can feed those tokens into your computer every time you want to ask a question.
droans@midwest.socialto linuxmemes@lemmy.world•They'll cast you back to the Windows realm with all their toxic mightEnglish2·6 months agoThey could still use whatever config format they wanted - this would just be for providing their config schema. It also doesn’t need to be YAML, that’s just the easiest one for me to type on my phone. In fact, I think most schema validation programs rely on JSON as it is.
I also don’t think programs should be required to provide it. Many core programs and kernel modules would likely take years if they ever were able to add it just to avoid the risk of mistakes causing any major issues, especially if they haven’t needed an update in years. There are also many config files that use their own nonstandardized schema. A possibility is that they could be allowed to provide a CLI tool which could update the config or they could just ignore it entirely.
But creating a common schema for… well, the config schema would make it easier for systems to provide a frontend interface for updating your configs.
droans@midwest.socialto linuxmemes@lemmy.world•They'll cast you back to the Windows realm with all their toxic mightEnglish92·6 months agoSeriously - Linux needs a standardized config schema spec. Something that programs should provide which an application can read and provide a frontend interface for the users to adjust config files.
Could be something like:
schema_version: 1.0 application: name: Poo Analyzer icon_path: /etc/pooanalyzer/images/icon.png description: Analyzes photos of poo schema: - config_file: path: /etc/pooanalyzer/conf/poo.conf conf_type: ini configs: - field: poo_directory type: dir_path name: Poo Image Directory description: Directory of Poo Images icon_path: /etc/pooanalyzer/images/poo.png - field: poo_type type: list name: Poo Types description: Types of Poo to Analyze values: - dog - cat - human - brown bear icon_path: /etc/pooanalyzer/images/animal.png ...
Any distro could then create any frontend they’d like to manage this - the user could even install their own.
It means you’re gonna be the major break for some psychologist.
