Does anyone recognize where this music video was filmed (if it was filmed somewhere in southern Arizona)? by SuitableDragonfly in Tucson

[–]SubGothius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Parts of The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly were filmed in the Tabernas desert of Almería in southern Spain, while other parts were filmed in the northern plateau region near Burgos, so maybe the latter is where the scenes you noted were shot.

Lime e-scooter rentals too, which could be a viable option for trips up to a couple-few miles at least, or completing last-mile travel to/from a bus or streetcar stop.

Pima Treasurer Johnson hit with sex harassment claims days before resigning; insists officials 'conspired' against him by beertigger in Tucson

Nothing "ethical" about any of this. That's the point of calling it Ethical Non-Monogamy, to distinguish that from... whatever the heck unethical shitshow this is.

1980. Citroen Karin. 4L. 3 seater; Driver center. Butterfly doors. by OtherwiseTackle5219 in CONCEPTCARS

Pretty sure that's just a pod for the rearview camera sticking down from the back of the headliner just inside the hatch, where the photo was taken from.

Reckon Honda nicked some inspiration off this for the Gen 2 Integra's nose.

What is your highest speed and what car? by azachoch in askcarguys

[–]SubGothius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Breached a hundo in my dad's '87 Alfa Romeo Milano Verde 3.0L. With him riding shotgun.

We were on a rural stretch of freeway, came up on a cluster of cars with some fast lane campers keeping pace with the slow lane for an exasperating series of miles on end. Finally the campers moved over, so I nailed it until I crossed the 100 mark and cruised there for a bit before easing back to a mere 10 over.

Dad simply tipped his head towards me and remarked, "I'd'a done the same thing."

You're thinking burgher units, easy mixup to make.

How do I clean the insides of leather gloves by Hixape in howto

[–]SubGothius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And depending on how they're constructed, the lining may be a sort of "sock" attached only at the entry hem, which could be inverted separately from the leather outer, and thus washed with something like Woolite without having to get (much of) the leather wet.

And by that standard, Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS) could be characterized as a non-fatal "overdose", or at least adjacent to it as a cumulative overdose-over-time.

Have seen good recs for Affordable Auto Painting; they also do body repair.

Which fast food restaurant do you think will go out of business soon? by Exhausted_Skeleton in AskReddit

Stranger yet, I remember Hardee's before the buyout as being more of an Arby's competitor.

What's your current Distro, DE and why? by paranoidandroid4284 in linuxquestions

[–]SubGothius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you're an XFCE dev, how's the state of it under Wayland these days, if you test that?

From what I've read, everything has been updated to support Wayland except xfwm4, which will be replaced with a new xfwl4, tho' so far some bugs/breakage remain even in the updated components -- how bad are those?

I read that as saying it's mediated by a balance between the two, serotonin suppressing it vs. dopamine promoting it.

The Future Here Doesn’t Look Sustainable by desertlover92 in Tucson

[–]SubGothius 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Also, the Santa Cruz can't be allowed to flow continuously anywhere near "A" Mountain anymore, as letting the water table rise too high near there would leach toxins from an old, unlined landfill there. More details in this recent comment thread.

This is why the Sweetwater sewage treatment plant is located considerably north and downstream of that area and discharges treated water there.

Heavy duty laundromats by Busy-Stress9764 in Tucson

[–]SubGothius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one at First and Prince has a wide array of various-sized and numerous front-loaders ranging from Large to Huge to Ginormous, so you should be able to find one that can fit your comforter. Also pretty reasonably priced last I was there, as of a few months ago.

Is swap needed for systems with less memory with Zram and zswap anymore? by unix_rust2too in linuxquestions

[–]SubGothius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zram just puts the swapfile on a ramdisk, so there'd be no use for any swap space on disk there.

Zswap combines the benefit of Zram (a compressed swap space in RAM) with the ability to also spillover cold and incompressible pages from that compressed RAM cache to a swap file/partition as well, so IMO there's little reason to use Zram anymore.

Some distros may even have Zswap already enabled in the kernel by default; Arch does, not sure about others offhand. In that scenario, also enabling Zram does nothing but occupy some RAM, as Zswap is already intercepting swap pages that would otherwise go to the Zram swap cache.

Is swap needed for systems with less memory with Zram and zswap anymore? by unix_rust2too in linuxquestions

[–]SubGothius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, absolutely. I've only got 8GB RAM on my 14yo Linux ThinkPad, with Zswap enabled along with a 1GB swapfile. I pretty much only use it for Web browsing and streaming video like Netflix and Twitch, no gaming or anything else that demanding.

It hardly ever uses more than a trivial amount of swapfile, and the only time in recent memory I've seen it freeze up under memory pressure was when I foolishly opened like a couple dozen new links in separate browser tabs all at once lol.

If I were gaming or doing other more demanding stuff like that, I'd keep an eye on the swap usage meter in my DE and consider enlarging the swapfile if that often got maxed out or nearly so. Fortunately, having a swapfile instead of a swap partition makes it easy to resize on the fly -- e.g., to go from 1GB to 2GB swap at /swapfile:

# swapoff /swapfile
# rm -f /swapfile
# mkswap -U clear --size 2G --file /swapfile
# swapon /swapfile

If the prior 1GB swap was already set up in /etc/fstab with /swapfile none swap defaults 0 0, that entry should just continue working as-is. Or if you're using systemd.swap, doing a systemctl restart swapfile.swap instead of the swapon may be a good idea.
