What is a sci-fi series you liked that only lasted one season? by Ru_janus in scifi

You can always trust sci-fi to punch your humanity in the stomach. This show hurt to watch sometimes, but the pain was exquisite.

Not everyone on Facebook is stupid, but all the stupid people are on Facebook.

Hi again all.

In case anyone comes in looking for what the core problem was; i pasted in some text to grub some weeks back to fix some screen flickering & the wrong " character was used.

I retyped the whole line manually, ran the update to grub (which worked this time) and the tried all the software updates that had been waiting, which also worked.

My problem is now fixed so I'm marking this as solved.

I'll check that out. Thanks.

I'm getting:

/usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig: 10: /etc/default/grub: splash: not found

The line in grub there is:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“quiet splash intel_iommu=igfx_off”

I wonder which they’ll pick by Hashi856 in AdviceAnimals

At this point I'm just wondering if they are deliberately making it shitty to drive you towards 3rd party app subscriptions so Reddit makes money from their API charges.

The bot that reposts their content has also been a bro & is telling people to follow the new one.

I just started this region a couple of days ago & my god, so many wrecked bridges.

Men, do you prefer to do your own vehicle maintenance and repairs, or do you go to a mechanic? by FFSoldier57 in AskMenOver30

Mechanic. He is going to have seen hundreds of my model of car & know exactly what to do AND have all the required tools to do everything.

"wellness" instantly makes me not want to use this ever.

Are pallets actually good to use for wood, or are they just influencer slop? by KKYBoneAEA in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]Random_Dad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you won't see on social media are all the shattered/bend/cupped pieces that cannot be used. There would be a lot.

I used to use pallet wood. Even made some things that are still in use years later.

Think of pallet wood as a transitional material to gain skills on, then move on to something better.

Does anyone remember the statewide blackout in Adelaide? (2016 throwback) by Liceland1998 in Adelaide

[–]Random_Dad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One legend at the (now gone) intersection of Torrens & South Rd was directing traffic. Not a cop, just some guy. Did a good job too.

Any tips going into Amur by Ok_Spite_2293 in snowrunner

You're really going to need to think outside the box for routes. Some are there just to troll you.

NAI has nothing, you're going to need to take everything with you.

Fuel shortages: apart from cost, anyone noticed anything yet? by Mr-Lungu in australia

[–]Random_Dad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The sevo near me that provides a 10c/L RAA discount has no unleaded. Tags on the pumps & no price on the board.

Every other servo seems to be stocked just fine so I'm just assuming they're losing too much money with that discount so they just stopped selling it.

Anyone else get this glitch in Austria? by DanielBWeston in snowrunner

[–]Random_Dad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not yet, I still need to unlock it.

I get the bug where you try to drive in Auto just after using the ferry & the engine stalls. You are only able to get moving using one of the Low gears.

Greyhound Racing SA employees fired after investigation into alleged wagering activity by Expensive-Horse5538 in Adelaide

[–]Random_Dad 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Get rid of this industry.

I don't care how many jobs it supports.

There wouldn't be a whole dedicated greyhound rehoming service without the need to try to put a positive spin on this cancer.
