So far, everything I’ve wanted is freeleech, so that hasn’t been an issue. I continue to seed, but the ratios are much worse for the same amount of time seeding.

I hate that a ratios on the private tracker I joined are so bad. I feel dishonest.

My public torrents routinely have 10-25 times the ratio.

I have problems to this day with a single monitor setup. When I switch the monitor to another input (e.g. to play with my Switch), KDE Plasma, X, or something else freaks out, about half the time (I’m guessing it has something to do with locking or DPMS timers). When I switch back, it is running that the “safe” 640x480 which can’t display enough of the display settings panel under system settings for me to restore the 1920x1200 monitor native resolution!

Things are better than 2007, and they might be better than MS Windows, but “no trouble” is inconsistent with my experience.

No OOP in sight: https://gitlab.com/bss03/grtt/-/blob/f760eb6f0c1f1b171a1a3a114e156f008e4227d0/grtt-machine/test/src/Main.idr

You don’t recover from diabetes by receiving insulin, so it doesn’t fit into the “recovery virtually guaranteed” part of that category.

But, yes, there are a number of chronic diseases with no cures but excellent treatments, and those treatments should be available free to the patient but are often targets for Capital to rent-seek from patients as much as “the market will bear”. And, when market failure means a painful death, the market will bear quite a bit.

When the treatment is clear and the recovery virtually guaranteed, the support is freely given.

When the problems aren’t visible, the treatment plan is more improvisation than schedule, and recovery is hard to quantify. Support is harder to give and rarer to receive.

Mental problems are more likely to fall into the later bucket, but there are a swath of physical ailments from the metabolic and hormonal to the structural that also get lumped in.

women are too stubborn to pee with the seat up

I think that’s sarcasm, unless you actually meant to communicate that women are stubborn.

In any case, I think due to Poe’s Law, you’d have gotten better votes if you included “/s” or “j/k” or another marker. (But, votes might not be a concern to you.)

Ah, the old PieFed RooSwitch!

If you flush with the lid down, don’t you consider the lid dirty, since it caught all those “poo particles” you are scared of “flying around”?

I too prefer the commercial oval/egg bowls to the to residential round bowls.

Video is unavailable in my region, but thanks anyway.

I’d have to re-watch those segments. The part that remains stuck in my mind is that they found fecal particles on a toothbrush that was in a closed drawer.

I don’t believe closing the lid helps that much, and I grew up with (and still have to deal with) a toilet that sometimes but not always needs a second (or third) press of the handle, so I keep the lid open so I can be sure the water really got flushed. (It drains the tank into the bowl, but sometimes it just slowly, but steadily, flows through roughly maintaining water level instead of crossing a pressure (?) threshold and flushing out the bowl and then refilling.)

But, I’m all for closing the seat and the lid when you are done. It keeps pets and dropped items out of the bowl, if nothing else. If we have to leave the lid up, I still say seat down; that’s the “ready to use” configuration for all female and some male uses.

Mythusters found fecal particles everywhere even when the lid was down. There’s no escape from gross, just finding an acceptable level.

Bah, there’s a LOT of devices that could talk to my father’s phone over the LAN if they were programmed that way. But, they aren’t. They report to a wall-known “cloud” server, and the app on his phone checks that same server for the latest status or to relay command/control.

Nice advantage: can get status / send commands even when he is not on the LAN. Bad disadvantage: when the rural Internet blinks out (like every time it rains) he can’t tell the robo-vac which rooms to start cleaning.

Vidiverse search isn’t working on the instance I use. You gotta link to “1944 Gaslight” for the underprivileged?

Ah, a fellow GPB enjoyer, spreading the Truth about gas lamping.

I remember this wording from Rick and Morty, but does it also predate that?

I reject the claim that natural is good. Appeal to Nature is a common logical fallacy.

I’ve been using it on my laptop, and it’s been doing weird things that my X11 never did. It’s like rescaling or antialiasing or doing something with the fonts in my terminal while I’m using it. But, enough works that I’m gonna stick with it for now.

Also, I’m not able to use my preferred window manager XMonad under Wayland so far. Maybe at some point there will be a way to combine Wayland, KDE Plasma, and real window manager simply. (But, KDE Plasma has been getting more and more hostile to alternative window managers even on X11; I can’t been able to cleanly close my user session in months.)
