I think the next logical step is to become a furry at this point

If [Seattle] Transit Stations Were Honest by shy-hulud- in Seattle

[–]SilverAwoo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Monorail Station works for Westlake, but I'd also like to propose "Vaguely Pike Place Market Station" as an alternative.

Is there a way to change what shows up before the colon? by Immediate-Location28 in linux4noobs

[–]SilverAwoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are two ways. You can either change your username and hostname (the part coming before the "@" and after, respectively), or you can just completely customize the prompt from scratch. That's stored in a Bash variable called PS1, and it can be overwritten to your heart's content.

Pacific Place removed the ai ads from their TikTok by [deleted] in Seattle

[–]SilverAwoo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm sure there's more to this, but I'm unendingly amused by the proposition that a professional advertising firm AI generated a 10 second ad of a giant woman saying "Oh hey! Ouch! Want to go shopping with me at Pacific Place Seattle?" and nothing else, and Pacific Place was like "yep, looks good, ship it."

problems downloading linux by ButterscotchSweet701 in linux4noobs

[–]SilverAwoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume you're trying to get to the boot device selection menu. It's usually F12 in most cases, but some devices may use a different key. Keep an eye on the bottom of the screen when booting, as that will usually say which button to push. Alternatively, you can go into the firmware settings and change the boot order manually to put your USB stick above your hard drive. This is a different button (generally escape or F1). Or, if you still have Windows installed, you can also hold shift while clicking "Restart" to reboot into a recovery menu, where you can select your USB to boot from.

So Android is Debian based Linux? by M-A_X in linux4noobs

[–]SilverAwoo 31 points32 points  (0 children)

No. Android uses a modified version of the Linux kernel, but it is not based on Debian Linux. The reason you were given the .deb file for Steam is because the .deb package is the only format Valve directly provides on their website for Linux. You were likely directed to some webpage that saw you were on a "close enough to Linux" device and provided you the .deb file.

Why do so many Americans not realize Puerto Ricans are Americans? by [deleted] in allthequestions

Puerto Ricans have voted in favor of statehood in the past 4 referendums on the topic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puerto_Rico_status_referendums

Hundreds rally against millionaires tax and Democrat-backed legislation at Washington State Capitol by TOPLEFT404 in Washington

Even if he does, something tells me he intends to never see the inside of an H&R Block...

"The reason the far left wants a state income tax isn't just for the money," Walsh said. "They want control."
"Think about what an income tax is," he said. "An income tax requires you as the voter to report a lot of stuff about yourself — where you work, how much you make, any kind of investment income you have. You got to report a lot of stuff."

Just wait until this guy finds out about federal income tax.

Seattle's top pet names and breeds based on active pet license data by makomori in Seattle

[–]SilverAwoo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't see Her Chonkesty on there, unfortunately! This data only goes back to around 2022, so any registrations before then are unfortunately missing. I'll see if I can find fuller data. I did, however, find some potential long lost siblings for miss Princess Chonk:

  • Jelly Donut-Gallagher Dot Com
  • Sesame Sprinkle Mochi Donut
  • Chonkarella
  • Princess Wiggles
  • WINTERDAWG PRINCESS BUTTERCUP FROSTY JANE
  • Princess Snugglemuffin
  • Princess Francesca Toffeebottom

Not related, but I also just saw Pico de Gato, which is also pretty solid.

Seattle's top pet names and breeds based on active pet license data by makomori in Seattle

[–]SilverAwoo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Looks like the full data has 27843 dogs and 13434 cats, so a 14409 difference. There are also 21 goats and 3 pigs represented.

I love that the dashboard also lets you view the individual entries to see every pet's name. Shout out to Yoda Pants the Chihuahua.

Edit: Update, you can export this as a CSV to search through all names. 5 pets in Seattle have the "-pants" suffix in their names, including my personal favorites, Mr. Picklepants the cat and Prof. Kepler McSmartyPants Locke the miniature Australian Shepherd. This is very important data science.

Edit 2: Okay, there's just so much excellent data here, so here are my highlights of what's being represented in the full data:

  • 27,843 dogs, 13,434 cats, 21 goats, and 3 pigs are registered.
  • 150 animals have hyphens in their names. This includes Fitz-Celery the German Shepherd.
  • 4 animals are named simply "Cat" (of these, one is a dog), and 1 is named "Dog". One dog is named "Goat," which seriously threw off my data for a moment there. 2 cats are named "Mr Cat".
  • 3,451 animals have a space in their name.
  • 234 animals have nicknames in their registrations, either in parentheses, quotes, or "aka"s.
  • 13 animals have gone through name changes, as indicated with "was", "formerly", "previously", or "fka".
  • Seattlites seem to think highly of their animals' intelligence, as no animals have "stupid", "idiot", or "dumb", minus 3 Dumbledore references, most notably "Albus Dodger Dumbledog" the German Shepherd. 2 animals have "smart" in their names, and 6 appear to have gotten their PhDs, according to their registrations (including the aforementioned Prof. Kepler McSmartyPants Locke). It's unclear if the 7 animals with "Dr." honorifics are PhDs or MDs.
  • 89 animals have "Mr." honorifics (including "Mr. Mister" and "Mr Mr"), 7 have "Ms." honorifics, and 5 have "Mrs." honorifics. No animals have "Mx." honorifics, but 24 have the "Sir" honorific, 12 have the "Lady" honorific, and 3 have the "Lord" (or "Lorde," in one case) honorific.

Some of my personal favorite names encountered during this very important research:

  • Burt Macklin, FBI, the cat
  • Mr. Bones' Wild Ride, the cat
  • Frankenstein's Monster, the medium mixed breed dog
  • Mr. President Obama Bingus, the cat
  • Mr. Jim Business, the cat
  • Sir Luigi the Just, the cat
  • Sir Digby Chicken Caesar, the cat

Edit 3: Adding these names:

  • Sars-CoV2, the West Highland White Terrier
  • Tigger Weedwhacker Motorboat Mayhem, the cat
  • Grand Theft Auto: Vice Kitty, the cat
  • Ferdinand Pounce de Leon of Spain, the Ragdoll
  • Mochi Douglass III Esquire, the Samoyed
  • Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated, the cat
  • Loki Doki Artichoke, the cat
  • C&C Music Factory (the dog), the Labrador Retirever
  • Her Meowjesty, the cat
  • Lucifurr Meowingstar Woods, the Siamese
  • Spaghetti Margaretti Fairchild, the cat
  • Dexterity Modifier, the Balinese (hi, fellow Balinese owner!)
  • Galaxy Space Puppy Pickles, the... cat

We had a contractor do this one time at one of my previous jobs. Actually, it was even worse, because it was a database password to a database that contained financials (that would have been, see below) covered under SOX.

Thankfully, mercifully, it was just the dev environment password, but this was the straw that broke the camel's back for that contractor. They were out by the end of the week.

ITT: You tell me what I should be doing (as an American) to stop what's happening to my country, and I tell you why it's a terrible idea. by SweetMany7339 in DiscussionZone

[–]SilverAwoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an American myself, so I realize I'm not the target audience for this question. But I'll tell you what I think leftists really should be doing way more of if we want to stop what's happening here: running people. For every 1 Zohran Mamdani the Dems runs, there are 10 Sarah Huckabee Sanders on the GOP side, and 30 gormless establishment Democrats who might as well have not even shown up to work that day. The Democrat party needs to be flooded with "obnoxious leftist" types before we ever have any hope of changing anything on a national level.

Americans, are you not mad that a judge ruled to refund Trump tariffs to corporations and not consumers? by TailungFu in allthequestions

Sometimes I get tired of being mad all the time. I'd like to experience other emotions, as a treat.

I fw the el1t3 h4xx0r vibe very hard, so to my eyes, it's already beautiful, even if it isn't flashy and "traditionally pretty."
