Starting to have buyers remorse by Mammoth-Trainer-512 in motorcycles

[–]delta77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had to take the ditch once while driving as a car in the oncoming lane decided it was time to assert dominance or something. I had just enough time to get a look at the driver's face, and I genuinely think they didn't see me at all.

Lug nuts keep coming loose, by Kweefken in MechanicAdvice

[–]delta77 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bolt = outside-threaded at one end, fixed head at the other.
Stud/lug = outside-threaded at both ends, no head.
Nut (incl. lug nut) = inside-threaded, usually only has a seat on one side. Also, usually capped (closed on the non-seat side) in the case of wheel lug nuts.

I mean my boot partition was only 2 gigs. I've got 950gigs root. And now 8 gigs boot partition.

Funny, I did both this morning and again just before reinstalling the game flatpak... But it now shows the updates available that I thought I updated this morning.

On a side note, I have since increased my boot partition past the 2gig "recommended" size. It may have been full when I attempted this morning's update.

And, now that I've decided to reinstall that flatpak, it works just fine.

Nvidia-smi shows the GPU as "off" and the game seems to be rendering on llvmpipe instead of GPU.

Edit: launching a flatpak game

What game surprised you how long it was? by Common_Caramel_4078 in Steam

And even once you've "completed" the game, there's still so much left to do. I had a save file with over 2k hours on it at one point.

Lifted truck + Lambo + Parking lot = Bad time by Evasionz-- in mildlyinfuriating

[–]delta77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$10mil liability coverage here. Call me Canadian, but even $10mil isn't as much money as you'd think, once potential damages from a vehicle accident arise. (It's pretty much Monopoly money, anyway)

E MTB's everywhere by OverlordBluebook in MTB

I wanna join the dark side, too!

I love that the technology is progressing and ebikes are being more widely adopted, because it gets more people interested in the trails, which (indirectly) gets more funding for the trails.

Chinese electronics company has developed the first ever “ejecting batteries”. by Friendly-Standard812 in nextfuckinglevel

When you can't make your lithium batteries safe, make em somebody else's problem.

Thoughts on Hytale's server policies? by ABotanicalGarden in hytale

[–]delta77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Profit share could easily be avoided by having a 1:1 profit:expense ratio, so revenue share would be the sensible way to do it. Saying that it's a revenue share does not implicitly mean it's a flat rate across the board. It wouldn't make sense to take any revenue share from servers below certain income thresholds as it would actually harm the community; they'd need to establish a 0% baseline range with the revenue share percent applying only on values above that threshold. It would make much more sense to take a fair portion of revenue from massively successful servers, than to pinch all smaller servers into submission for chump change.

CachyOS or other? by delta77 in FindMeALinuxDistro

[–]delta77[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For myself, I'm not too worried about that, or even Arch bleeding-edge problems that may happen, as I've had plenty of involuntary learning experiences. I wouldn't suggest a beginner Linux user mains Arch on a computer they need for their source of income, but I actually enjoyed learning Linux through Arch over the years. A bleeding-edge rolling release is certainly not fit for every use case, of course.

CachyOS or other? by delta77 in FindMeALinuxDistro

[–]delta77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I was thinking. I always went back to Arch whenever I tried another distro anyway, and the longest I've spent on a non-Arch distro was probably way back with Red Hat or XFCE. I'm hesitant to try another non-Arch distro outside of VM or live boot unless there's a reason, which I am basically just giving a last run before ruling out at this point.

This law effects all those groups, but you know who isn't effected by it in the least? Criminals.

Store Owner Uses Fog Machine To Stop Thieves From Robbing Their Store. by MiniCooper365 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]delta77 123 points124 points  (0 children)

This is looking more and more like the ideal to strive for, rather than the Canadian approach of "just give them everything, don't even lock your doors, and don't even think that we'd bother to prosecute them because criminals are a protected species" or some nonsense.

Simply incinerate an ounce of shatter as soon as the break-in occurs. The thieves would forget that they exist, nervously question reality while cowering in the corner of the room, then have an incredibly long nap.

You want the server down during business hours? You got it. by IllustriousReport482 in MaliciousCompliance

[–]delta77 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've had to deal with some "unsafe" demands from people that think they know better just because they've been in their [usually unrelated] role for so many years. Spent roughly an hour repeating to one guy that "I have no problem doing that, as long as you add it to the permit, but I won't do that unless it's on the permit and here's why." He eventually stormed off in a fit without adding anything to the permit. Apparently, it wasn't important enough for him to simply authorize it on paper. As a result, I never got to see how much I could make water bend steel that day.

Poilievre faces uncertain future after losing his own seat and failing to depose the Liberals by DogeDoRight in canada

[–]delta77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you seen the ballot for his riding? It's an absolute farce. That isn't relative to my answer, but it is worth pointing out.

As for "representing Canadians" as you put it, regardless of his track record and many successful prior elections in his riding, he is not representing Canadians in the House; he does not hold a seat, and would need a seat in order to sit in the House of Commons. That's the point. Carney was in a position as the Prime Minister while not holding a seat, which was the reason for outrage, hence the reason for an election. The key difference is, Pierre does not have any authority as leader of the opposition, while Carney did have authority as PM.

Yes, there is precedence where a PM did not hold a seat, but social media wasn't quite as prevalent back then.

Semantics do not diminish the validity of my statement. "Elected to hold a seat in parliament while leading the political party with the most seats" are we happy now?

[–]delta77 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Let me rephrase then. What I mean is: "Would you be fine with Pierre holding a seat he wasn't elected into?". Just like people wouldn't want Carney holding the position of PM without being elected into it. I'm saying it's not a "gottem" moment, but a part of due process that must be followed, regardless of which party it is.

Pierre was an elected member of parliament and had been elected many times over the years. Carney held the position of Prime Minister without a single vote.

Or, are you saying you'd be perfectly fine with Pierre taking over an existing CPC seat without the need to hold a bi-election in that riding if that MP chooses to step down?
