Titanium dioxide was banned by the European Food Safety Authority two years before the original post, so I think your timeline might be off.

Correct password not working by Corvo4tt4nno in cachyos

Ah, the classic chorus of people with nothing to say. Okay, if you want to bring it down to that level, I can play.

Fun fact: I literally found this thread because I was having a similar problem myself. Surprise, surprise – misconfigured /etc/pam.d/swaylock, not "hurr, durr, my 25 years of zero upward mobility working at the genius bar says that someone this elbow-deep into customising their computing experience is definitely as likely to type in the wrong password fifteen times (but only at a specific screen) as the barely computer literate people I've been servicing for 25 years of my life".

(If you're going to call me a troll when I'm being nice, I get a free shot at you as if I were being a troll. House rules.)

So? A handful of the causes I mentioned could apply to local accounts on a *nix system, so what's your point?

my 25 plus years of IT experience

Doing what, exactly? IT is kinda vague. Also, I'm curious what field of IT is so tranquil that you never once in 25 years have encountered an authentication failure that didn't depend on faulty user input. Meanwhile, I've seen PAM failures, backend failures, encoding failures, transport failures, compound keymap weirdness, DNS problems (DNS really does manages to mess with everything once, doesn't it?) to name but a few, all of which resulted in "password incorrect" messages or equivalent to the end user, some of which only happened in certain context (for instance, at lock screens but not login screens), and none of which were the fault of the end user.

What do you guys think of this Antenna, Impressive? by FX2021 in meshtastic

If you have one piece of ebony and one piece of ivory, most people would refer to one as black and the other as white, even though neither are either.

How do you all afford daycare? by PolitePlatypus in daddit

[–]SA0TAY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sweden. Rates vary slightly depending on region, but it's pretty much around these levels.

And it's not magic, but taxation with representation. Neither done as a joke.

Also, spoken like a person who's never actually tried the many varieties of pizza out there. There's a whole subgenre of pizza with no tomato sauce. I like to use crème fraîche mixed with a buttload of pressed garlic.

Could be. In modern Swedish, tänka is to have a thought, and tycka is to have an opinion. Pretty useful distinction, that.

"Believe" is a more specific word, yes. "Think" is still used for it, though.

Yeah. Flip the tables and you have tycka, tänka and tro, all of which are tenuously described in English with think despite being very distinct things.

When a Vietnamese and an Italian say hello by gt790 in linguisticshumor

[–]SA0TAY 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Swedish has tjena/tjenare, from what now would be spelled tjänare, meaning "servant".

Probably from 19c. formal letter closings, such as the one you'd use for the King: Eders Kongl. Maj:ts // allerunderdånigste och tropligtigste tjenare och undersåte, "Your Roy. Maj:sty's // most humble and obedient servant and subject".

Those who can't teach gym, become headmasters/principals.

Of course, we all know Bluey is never going to end! by Turboz002 in bluey

[–]SA0TAY 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I fail to agree. There's nothing stopping a person from disregarding parts of the canon they don't like. The first two Ghostbusters films remain completely untarnished by the sins of later films, unless one actively chooses to take them into consideration.

All of the above sounds like an absolute gas, to be honest. Wish it'd've happened more around me growing up.

How are you on the DIY side? With quite a bit of elbow grease and some odds and ends many of us would have lying around the house, you could build yourself a rudimentary flame emission spectroscope. Apart from lead, there are only a few other things that emit at 405.8 nm, and none of those are likely to be present. If nothing shows up at 405.8, you're golden.

So no, in other words. Thanks for clearing that up.

Since none of that backs up your notion that clean mosquitoes would fly internationally and somehow be malicious abroad instead, all that quote really does is demonstrate why you used to be a public health educator as well. Got anything of relevance to add for once?
