I enjoy seeing the posts but am discouraged from engaging with them since I know the OP will never see my comment.

Unfortunately I didn't get to have a conversation with him. But he did seem nice.

In the early 2010s, Cape Girardeau, MO was chosen as a location for some of the filming of Gone Girl. I lived there and it was the talk of the town. People were running into Ben Affleck at the local Andy's and shit.

Meanwhile they put out a casting call for extras. I didn't care about it but of course my girlfriend and her cousin went psycho about it and signed us up. We waited in line with at least a thousand other people only to finally get up there, and all they did was take a headshot and send us on our way. The girls were all disappointed that there wasn't anything else to it while I the introvert just laughed about it.

Until I was the one they called back. Not only that, but it turns out they picked me to be a stand-in for Boyd Holbrook. I spent a week hanging out on David Fincher's set, occasionally doing work while trying to avoid getting in trouble for doing things like accidentally sitting in Rosamund Pike's chair. Then one of the assistant directors' mother died and he had to leave, so they "promoted" me to production assistant. At one point I was sent to look for and found David Fincher's missing iPhone.

Fucking surreal man. But I've got the 20th Century Fox W-2s to prove it.

These people are gonna be pissed anyway when they find out the ratio of civilian to combatant deaths in this war is one of the lowest if not the lowest in urban warfare history.

It must have improved in the last two years because their community forum has been really helpful for me. I've had users go back and forth with me for days until we solved an issue I had.

ratemyteachers.com review: "professor's class was harder than Sekiro"

This happened the year before I moved to the school, but at the beginning of the new school year I heard a lot of whispers about it and once saw a teacher shut down a conversation amongst a group of students about it.

So only ever hearing this third hand, it went something like this: a group of jocks abducted one of their friends after school one day. They took him out to someone's farm land blind folded, tied him up in a tree (or on a cross) and terrorized him by doing crazy shit like running a chainsaw close between his legs.

The kid they did this too immediately became an outcast skater punk who played in the local metal band. I got to know him a little bit through my girlfriend at the time and he was really cool. I have no idea why they did that too him. I don't know what, it any, punishment was handed down to the perpetrators. I know the school district wanted to expel them but it didn't happen during school.

It was common that year for kids from the neighboring town to drive by and yell stuff like "HEY LET'S GO CRUCIFY ONE OF OUR OWN PLAYERS!"

I also got reprimanded by a teacher for joking about kidnapping a friend of mine in order to force him to pay back the various $5 he had borrowed from everyone in our friend group. It was 100% a joke of course but I didn't realize what poor taste it was at the time.

It's not our fault silicon valley decided to run with the "every service is free and we'll figure the rest out later" model. Unbeknownst to them I can configure my computer to not accept data transmitted from ad domains.

Give Kagi a try. You get 100 free searches which is more than enough to decide if it's worth paying for.

Ask Jeeves about it

I'm calling the police

XD

Ooh, usbguard sounds cool.

Excellent

Thank you for these suggestions! I've been looking for something like Opensnitch for a long time.

Negative - that's why I was thinking of giving Portmaster another go but am open to any solution like that.

Yes the PC will be unattended for many hours at a time.

You know what I think about sometimes is how it's so weird that in America it's the duty of our employers to provide health insurance, meaning it's a cost to the business. Universal healthcare would free up shitloads of capital and have a huge impact on small businesses' staying power.

Damn, what a good way to think about this. Thanks for the post.

Great, now I want a Ferrari.

I want do a metal cover of Suni Lee's floor routine music.

You can definitely use the bios to boot into each one as well. I'm not sure why that didn't work for you.

I think you could have kept the Windows drive installed while installing Linux as long as you were careful not to let the installer touch that device. But regardless, ideally you would run os-prober from Linux and let it update Grub with an entry for Windows (some Linux installers do this automatically). Then you would be able to choose the OS from the Grub menu during boot.

They'd better keep a strict eye on it. After what Amazon did to the Wheel of Time...

It's what they most not the least

How long does this take? I'm 40 and still see the D's do much better in this regard in general. The first example that comes to mind is the Dodd-Frank act that Obama signed that added loads of consumer protections against predatory bank practices. I worked at a bank at the time and this was life changing for a lot of victims customers that were bad with money.

Lol rng company name

The studios paid a lot of money for all that CGI so they damn sure are going to use all of it.

I love how this isn't marred by the NBC talking heads going, "wow look it's metal at the Olympics hurrrrr"

They didn't even mention the name of the band, meanwhile they gave the full backstory of the very next act which was a French pop star who lip synced amidst this poor professional marching band who got snookered into being her backing performers.

Oh fuck, I was just raving to my friends about how cool that segment was and was going to look for a replay later D=. Surely it will be on Youtube at some point???

Some people don't have maps

I could rephrase and say their beliefs are not the same, but their behaviors are. Think of some of the worst qualities of far right posting. Memes that pigeonhole non-believers, co-opting language to mean things other than what the majority of people understand it to mean, facts-optional diatribes. Now read any number of Hexbear threads.

I wondered this same thing and investigated installing Hyprland on Bazzite but didn't really find anything. I suspect you'd layer the installation into the os with rpm-ostree, but I didn't end up trying it.

There are still plenty of people that have gone so far left that they crossed the prime meridian and landed on the right.

Can you imagine being the person that hit that button today? Jesus.

My brother in Christ, I've borked Linux systems with a misplaced text file =D
