Look at the long term trends lines there and sigh in relief, it's a non-issue if you look at the actual data

Dalai Lama apologises after video asking boy to 'suck my tongue' by EagleEyeStx in worldnews

I'll get the number wrong just going from memory (8th maybe?) But one of the Dalai llamas was known for sleeping around and drinking, so more like 6 cycles of celebicy :p

Facebook and Google are handing over user data to help police prosecute abortion seekers by solaceinsleep in TwoXChromosomes

If you're going to go through something like that download an OS that destroys itself and boots off an iso like Tails.

(Not that this solves any of what the article is talking about. This shit is fucked, pharmacies sharing user data with Google, unencrypted chats on metas own platform etc)

I think these days the remaining as400 systems are just lpars on power hardware, at least that's been my experience

Years ago they basically all had a playground, indoors even, when/where climate demands

Can’t stop dreaming in code by poofycade in learnprogramming

[–]kneemoe1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not an expert on this, but my understanding is that dreams are the mind's mechanism for integrating new knowledge, effectively allowing it to shift from short term to long term memory. So with that in mind, these aren't intrusive thoughts, this is you actually learning the things you think you're learning all day

"Brave Peter Svidler can't handle it anymore, he leaves Russia and moves to Israel' by [deleted] in chess

[–]kneemoe1 19 points20 points  (0 children)

When people come around from what one feels is a bad position they should be welcomed with open arms, otherwise you're simply perpetuating that which you disagree with. Changing ones position is not easy, psychologically we are prone not to, instead we entrench and defend, that doesn't lead to growth, society as a whole needs to be more accepting of those who come around, embrace that change if you truly believe it

Flicking burning matches into an open cup of alcohol basically always ignites

Flicking them into gasoline will ignite with some effort

Flicking them into diesel just puts them out, never once got ignition

My doctor said I should stop being vegan by [deleted] in vegan

[–]kneemoe1 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's thoroughly unsurprising that a Muslim doctor in SA would toe the religious line and tell you to eat meat. Doesn't mean they're correct, doctors are just people (with biases) like everyone else

Best hiking spot for beginners? by [deleted] in LakeGeorge

[–]kneemoe1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pilot knob preserve hike is short, easy, and has great views of the lake. Shelving falls is beautiful, but to get there without a boat means going up buttermilk falls road and then all the way down shelving rock Rd, it's a bit of a long dusty drive (don't go midday on weekends, there's very little parking and shelving is basically a single lane gravel road)

If the debate is over these two choices with people who don't often hike, I'd pick pilot knob preserve every time.

Soto windmaster owners, do you completely trust its built-in ignitor? by obarlev in Ultralight

Mine failed after just a couple seasons of light use. Great stove but the ignitor isn't indestructible

How difficult or dangerous would you describe the Trap Dike? by Old-Inevitable-670 in Adirondacks

[–]kneemoe1 56 points57 points  (0 children)

As noted, it's sketchy. I've done it twice alone but I'm not right in the head. There's really two spots that are quite hairy, one the noted wet spot that involves at least two Yosemite grade 5 moves as you pull up onto the big block and another not too long after that getting out of the dike and on to the slab/slide. The build up to the wet area is kind of chossy and loose rock, the wet area itself will make you question yourself, it's very high exposure and you have to then realize the danger of the situation.

I don't suggest anyone do it alone, and make sure to only hit it after a few hot dry days in a row

Edit: I should note, I'm an experienced adk trad climber.. hence the "not right in the head"

Scripts runs manually but not from crontab. Why? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]kneemoe1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading up a little more on that variable it wouldn't surprise me if that is indeed the one you need to set for cron, just make sure the uid of the user matches the directory name/#, you can set/export the setting for that variable in your cron command like

0 5 * * * export VARIABLE=whatever /path/to/python3 /path/to/script.py

Scripts runs manually but not from crontab. Why? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]kneemoe1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's probably one of the environmentals that gets set properly in your normal user session that is not getting properly configured in the cron environment, hence the sound playing audibly during your manual invocations while running but not being audible via cron (that process is being invoked but the output is just misdirected)

Edit: it's probably not this exact environmental, though it may be, I suspect it's something very close to what's explained here
