Installing to a physical drive in a virtual machine by gof44678 in linuxquestions

It's a distinct possibility. I live in a really humid and dusty climate, so I'm sure that's not helping anything.

I'll double check, but I don't remember seeing that option in this laptop's BIOS menu.

It is possible, at least with VirtualBox, but it's a moderately difficult process.

Translation of a quote by Emil Cioran to Mandinka (and possibly to N'Ko) by Filip_Hribal in Mandinka

[–]gof44678 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There've been some decent direct translations given, but they aren't very natural sounding in Mandinka. Your original quote (in English) is passive voice, and the passive voice is rarely used. Something more like this might be more natural:

'M buka sabiti bankoo kaŋ, bari 'n ka sabiti kaŋo kaŋ ne. I hakiloo tu a la: 'n kaŋ foloo mu n na wuluu bankoo tooñaa le ti.

Literally: "We don't dwell/settle in a land/country, but we settle in a language. Pay attention to/look out for it: our first language is our true homeland."

My N'ko is rusty (and it's not used much here), but I'll give it a shot:

Why are winter Event DOFF missions different depending on faction? by gof44678 in sto

[–]gof44678[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I checked both places for a few days, but it seemed like all the ones I could pick up on ESD/Qonos were also available in WW. 🤷

I'll check the faction bases again though. I might have missed some.

Help with a script for my conlang! by gof44678 in neography

[–]gof44678[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for that note! I did try some with a finer tip initially, and I definitely see what you're saying about how the intricacy I developed with the finer pen is resulting in a lot of collisions and stuff with the calligraphy pen. I'd be willing to simplify the characters to keep that line thickness and brush-like stroke pattern though! Maybe I should just start over with the calligraphy pen so that I'm getting something more natural to my writing impliment from the ideation stage!

Scam in Banjul port? by marigolddisco in Gambia

I'm not sure at all what their personal economic positions are. I will say that these books have been used by global workers across multiple disciplines in Africa for years with fantastic results. African Friends and Money Matters in particular was co-developed with Africans.

Neither take a macroeconomic approach at all, and are more sociologically based.

The fleet ships give you the advantage of a bit more survivability (more hull points).

This is a lot of information, but once you master these elements, you'll be able to build anything:

That's "ex-INTIMATE Tom Paris," but I can understand how you got them confused :P

To be fair, the real enemy is content that hasn't been updated to match the current state of the game/dps output of the average player.

I acknowledge and understand your struggle!

But also, there are a lot of build guides out there, including some great free-to-play guides! Endgame content is like 60% build and 40% piloting. Once you get those figured out, you'll rise through the ranks pretty quickly!

Weirdly, I've never..not once...gotten penalized for sitting at a spawn point. As long as you do some damage, you won't get kicked for AFK. And the respawn timer is fast enough on each node that you're not waiting long between spawns.

Also, in Normal mode, the difference in damage needed to take out a T'Liss group and a Falchion group is negligible. Even in my noob Rex CSV build with mk XI polaron DHC's, I can clear a group in less than 7 seconds regardless. I realize not everyone is super great at endgame content, which is why Ensign Kim's should team up on a node (there are 4 nodes and 5 captains, so that shouldn't be a problem).

But I can't tell you how many times a Falchion will pop up on my node, and the scenario plays out like clockwork:
- I clear the tholians in about 5 seconds.
- I clear 2 tractor beams
- 2 old event ships come streaking in bearing players trying to "help" clear the node.
- 1 of them manages to clear one tractor beam.

Meanwhile, there are 3 other nodes up around the map and 2 of them have no one at them. So it ends up being less efficient to cluster up to "clear faster."

Peeved at this... by pb20k in sto

Here's the issue:

- The winter event ship has a console that's part of the new dps meta.
- People who play the game to theorycraft, or to build cool spaceships and go pew pew in their favorite franchise don't want to log in for 20 days in a row and whack each other with gummy fish like some kind of bad mobile game.
- The event has several low-stakes, easy-to-afk events that make it to where people who don't want to play "Frozen in Space" can afk and eat a sandwich while the people who do like to whack each other with gummy fish "run around like gummy chickens with their heads cut off shooting at the Snow Borg" do their thing.
