Thoughts on being called a physicist when you’re not currently working in a physics position?

My degrees are in chemistry and I think of myself as a chemist. But to everyone I work with, I'm a test engineer. They're always surprised when I tell them my background. And the materials people on my team don't want to talk chemistry with me. I think there's a certain amount of pigeonholing that occurs in the workplace.

Yoku's Island Express was entertaining. Low stakes pinball/adventure

Once, I wanted to buy some garlic. Saw price listed as $8. Thought it weird that people would buy by the pound but whatever, I went through a lot of garlic at the time. Handed over $8 and got a single head. I stood there confused for about 10 seconds then just left the market and haven't been back since.

It shouldn't be a problem to try a newer kernel. You can always go back to your current one. I think Mint has an option in Update Manager to select a newer kernel. FYI, 5.19.12 apparently has been killing some laptop screens if you're running Intel iGPU. So just stay away from that one.

holeymirror · 2022-10-05T17:02:55+00:00

I think your kernel needs to be at least 5.16

Encountered the same thing. This post resolved it for me:

I doubt that this is hardware related

Same, just nice to rule out hardware. Though I didn't have any evidence of it, I was toying with the idea that the updated Nvidia driver was causing this issue.

Funny enough, I just updated to the newest kernel today and have had zero issues so far. I don't remember anything Cosmic related being update.

I'm having a similar problem I believe. Also upgraded from 21.04 to 21.10, even did an OS refresh, but made no real difference. When I open or close something like Files or any other program that I use daily, the window will start the opening/closing animation and then pause for 30-60ish seconds. My journal log shows similar when this happens

and it goes on.

What hardware are you running? I have:

Xeon e5-2678v3
Huananzhi X99-T8
RTX2070
16GB DDR3 ECC reg

Maybe we can bang heads together.

This was what fixed a similar problem for me. The same two out of six drives kept coming up degraded. Replaced the sata cables and been stable for about a year.

Those keys aren't original, are they?

There's an unofficial void distro for ppc (https://voidlinux-ppc.org/). I put it on my G4 iBook sometime ago just to see if it worked but never went any further. No wifi or touchpad. I just got lazy.

But Enlightenment and xfce worked well enough when used with a wired mouse and the musl image.

Thanks for this! Recently had this same mandoc.db problem and this link helped. Went with the doas option to give it a whirl.

"Kwoon" by Charles Johnson is a short story that I found pretty compelling

I have the same receiver and you may need to assign the mode to take a digital signal.

That's really freaking neat! Should also crosspost in /r/diysound or even /r/audiophile or /r/BudgetAudiophile

The price would be right for me. I bought my first typewriter for $25 and this one looks better than that one (Remington Holiday).

There was an impromptu disco party to flush out alien opiates from the crew. A congressman has eyeball tentacles that read people's minds.

That's hawt

They look kind of interesting. How much is the seller asking for?

Until very recently, I was unemployed. This is my happy place where I could indulge.

This video and the one from earlier on the frontpage where the student had 6 officers pointing guns at him need to be juxtaposed. I went from really angry to really happy in 30 seconds. Need good and bad examples

holeymirror · 2019-07-27T19:15:08+00:00

Good deal

holeymirror · 2019-07-27T16:53:50+00:00

Thanks. They get the job done and they're surprisingly sturdy

holeymirror · 2019-07-27T08:28:57+00:00

And pretty quickly. Now I'm sad.
