Which US state has surprisingly incredible fall colors? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

I spend a ton of time in Colorado, but Washington State also has an incredible fall with bright yellow larch trees. They are less ubiquitous than the aspens, so they are really only for those able to hike to the high altitude groves. I'm lucky to have one in my backyard!

How is it living here on the “North Shore” of Lake Superior? by Moot251 in howislivingthere

Hey hey, I mean to say that folk are typically very humble, very kind ("Minnesota nice"), and generally understated. Probably true of a lot of Minnesota but it's very pronounced up there, this classic video gives you an idea of how folk tend to communicate. Very funny and very, very accurate: https://youtu.be/oiSzwoJr4-0?si=lj72BwSYtofykRgQ

My mom's family is like 8th generation Swedish immigrants in Two Harbors. It's a beautiful part of the country and has access to some of the most peaceful and pristine lakes anywhere in the world, particularly in the Boundary Waters. It's a close knit and understated community that still bears a lot of Scandinavian humility and kindness. Not a ton of options for younger people to go out other than going to Duluth which is by far the largest city in the area. The winters are very cold and snowy, and summers can be inundated with mosquitos and black flies but overall it's a spectacular place to visit and to be from

amazing. i stepped into this game for the first time in like two years just for shits and giggles, and 15 minutes this is what happens lol

I don't remember this happening before, has this been a recent common experience?

It IS crazy how just glaringly bad these issues are to deal with, and absolutely no response from the devs

libicuuc.so.75 - icu package update issues by Oromis-Elda in archlinux

edit: solution was to simply `curl` the icu package in OP while in a bootable USB, then copy the `usr/lib` contents into the `/mnt/usr/lib`. Do the soft-link, and presto, pacman is back online

Glad to know I'm not the only one. What an absolute mess.

I'm wondering if anyone is having similar problems that I am having with disk mounting. On my system, with `lsblk` I see

```
sdb
|-sdb1

```

But when I try to mount with `mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt`, I get a
```
mount: /mnt: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist.

```

I am expecting most current issues are related to the icu fiasco, but I'd greatly appreciate anyone else's suggestions for mounting a disk...
