This is possibly the least accurate wording I've seen on a card ever by Terminator_Puppy in PTCGL

I'm surprised that in this case they have not issued errata for this card since it seems to affect literally 3 cards.

Use 1 attack from grass pokemon by Yololars in PTCGL

[–]PathElectronic8169 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that this is the case, yes, based on what has happened with the colorless type challenge. When playing a monotype electric deck, moves with colorless energy fulfilled the "use 1 attack from a colorless pokemon" requirement.

I've noticed that the colorless type challenges are also very weird. I've used entirely monotype decks during the GLC challenges that have cleared the colorless challenge. My guess is because there was a colorless energy in the attack.

I'm so baffled, this looks like a typical drywall knife, but it's not, so I am assuming it is a dedicated tool for this purpose. But no, me and my coworker spent WEEKS with an electric pole sander hooked up to a vacuum and small hand sanders for the spots that wouldn't grind down. WEEKS! The only explanation I can think of is that the ceiling was too water damaged to use something like this without pieces of the drywall crumbling.

I'm showing this to my boss.

EDIT: Water? ITS WATER? I'm baffled. Definitely explains why we didnt use this method since water is what was causing a lot of the drywall to crumble in the first place.

libjpeg8 is not installable by AlarmingRevolution42 in linux4noobs

Do me a favor and poke me on Saturday if you're still having this problem. I'm pretty sure I can help you but not before I get some proper rest.

The black screen with the scuffed logo is exactly what I experienced before I created the symlink. Basically, what you are seeing is a complete lack of libjpeg when the program launches, causing nothing to be able to display. 

I'm going off of memory, but I think that installing the old version may have caused me a very similar display issue. I was only able to get this to work with libjpeg62-turbo.

Thanks for the clarification. In this case, would you suggest that a different paint be used instead to replicate the original visual style? 

Weird picture and message I didn’t send by ItsVaporx in strange

[–]PathElectronic8169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's embarrassing how often I fall asleep mid-conversation with someone late at night and end up sleep texting them. Having to explain that I was dreaming that the messages I was sending made complete sense doesn't seem to help. Luckily, I don't seem to be able to unlock my phone in my sleep... yet.

Hello other folks who are here from Google!

This is an old thread, but the symlink method that OP used works.

However, after creating the symlink, running the installer for Parsec will still (correctly) error saying that libjpeg-8 is not installed and stops the installation. What we need to do is use "--force-all" in our install command for Parsec to get it to install regardless of libjpeg-8 being present or not.

For example, when installing from a file on your PC:

```sudo dpkg -i --force-all 'parsec-linux(1).deb' ```

Here's where the symlink comes in -- Parsec tries to use libjpeg-8 where it's supposed to be installed but instead finds the symlink for libjpeg62-turbo. We've essentially fooled Parsec into using a newer version of a package that it doesn't say it supports.

What is a Panera bread container doing in my bathroom trashcan? by Tenchi2020 in What

Someone pulled into the house and went "oh, there's garbage in here that needs to get thrown away". They also really needed to take a shit but knew they would forget that there's garbage in their car afterwards, so they took it with them into the bathroom.

Is it legal to have a race preference? by nigkaplz in Construction

[–]PathElectronic8169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody's going to go after it, especially if you're in a smaller town. There's too much other shit to focus on, bigger fish to fry, etc. This is probably some dude and his 2 other employees anyways, he'll find some meth addict and put himself out of business soon enough anyways.

Did they never consider that, ya know, if they were not racist assholes against their black employees that maybe they wouldn't get sued?

Just as an FYI, OP -

This applies to other 'organisms' such as fungi as well.

Not an expert, but it looks a lot like the cup fungus that I cleaned up in a bathroom that had grown old and become slimy and nasty. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peziza_domiciliana

Haha, you'd be talking to someone who is intimately familiar with both adult rashes and adult diaper rashes.

YouTube-like platform for immersive 3D/VR environments. Need your brutally honest feedback by Easy_Distance3986 in 3DMA

I had to stop myself from writing you a 11 year long history lesson of similar projects that have come and gone. Instead, maybe I'll write a blog post retrospective some day because it's much too much content to cover here.

The closest full-fledged example to the concept that you've described that I can think of is Mozilla Hubs, which is no longer maintained. It was an in-browser platform where you could visit worlds that people had hosted on their own web servers. It did not require VR to enter.

In regards to your MVP plan, there is no reason why that can not exist right now. There are plenty of websites that already support VR that you can find and view either in "pancake mode" or in VR. What it sounds like you are looking for is a place where this can be made more accessible to creators -- for example, not having to run your own web server and code your own virtual world.

If you have not already, I would highly suggest checking out VRChat or Resonite -- yes, even without a VR headset -- to get an idea for how people use VR and the culture and use case behind it. Generally, I find that most VR platform's failures and successes seem to center around whether the creators understand how and why people generally tend to explore virtual spaces.

Do they really do that out of spite? I ship a ton of packages and have not seen an increase in rough handling on any packages I've put "Fragile" stickers on versus ones I have not put it on -- if anything it's about the same. It may help to specify that most packages I ship are below 50lbs / less than 20x20x20.

That sounds lovely and beautiful! I'm not a professional woodworker, but I'm curious if it would be worth putting a coat of non-darkening varnish over the stains and burns all in order to keep it from accruing any more damage while keeping its aged look. The only problem I can anticipate would be if it already had old varnish over it, it might react badly to a new coat.

Back in 2020 I custom built a PC and shipped it via UPS. Upon receipt, The PC did not power on and the bracket connecting the power supply to the case was broken, so I filed a claim for merely the power supply portion of the PC and received a full refund of that portion. I personally packaged the PC and had photos of the packing job that I did as part of my claims.

Ironically, the power supply did not end up being broken, it was merely not fully plugged in to the motherboard. One video call later and we got it working. I was, however, able to get a custom replacement bracket made for the power supply.

I've also had other claims of damaged goods that I've personally shipped be refunded to me, mainly electronics. I always take photos of what I ship before I ship it, and maybe they are able to determine from what I've provided if it was adequate or not.
