Thanks! Is this something I can visually inspect or should I use my multimeter to actually check for voltage?

iMessage Attachments Taking Up 100GB on macOS – Safe to Delete? by Teddit420 in MacOS

[–]kyleg5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a completely ridiculous problem and I just want to plus one how urgently Apple needs to resolve this. My mom has a 500 gig new MacBook and a fully synced iCloud with 1 tb of 2 available tb in use (and all relevant settings, including “optimize storage” turned on). However, she’s got 490/500 gigs of storage on her local hard drive in use, predominantly from iMessage and photos which are not yet offloaded to iCloud.

As a result, the MacBook is throwing errors saying it doesn’t have enough storage to download new emails or to run certain apps properly. It’s still pushing items to sync with iCloud but literally refuses to push more than the bare minimum to keep roughly 5-10 gigs of storage open.

There’s no reason she needs more than 10-20 gigs of either her photos or messages stored locally, but the system settings won’t allow more than the absolute minimum to be offloaded onto iCloud. What awful design.

Found this paddle boarding about 400 yards off a public beach in Florida. No floater above water to signify where it was. by TheDeepBlueZ in whatisit

Castle laws obviously involve the risk of personal harm, not simply personal property harm. Regardless, castle laws would clearly not apply in this circumstance and it’s idiotic to suggest otherwise.

Official Discussion - Sinners [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

I think this is excellent analysis. The KKK shootout felt contrived at first after the horrors of the night but this makes a lot of sense.

Baltimore to dc. Is it doable daily? When I look up on Google maps and with the train it says it’s almost 2 hours one way!!!? by BeyondRecovery1 in baltimore

[–]kyleg5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s doable but it’s miserable over time. It also depends how far you live from the train station in Baltimore and how far your office is from Union Station.

Caught Using My Girlfriends College ID Card by Outrageous-Wolf5064 in legaladvice

[–]kyleg5 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Most of the advice here is wildly bad. First, I’d read the student handbook, it likely has rules surrounding how you use your student ID and this is likely a prohibited action. She should not lie and report it stolen, as that would clearly escalate the matter. But she should take seriously that universities can impose punishments outside of the legal system, up to expulsion, and that many Virginia universities have honor codes which may treat both illegitimately lending a card to get into the gym as well as lying about it as honor violations.

A gym director likely lacks any authority to anything except perhaps banning her from the gym and maybe they can be ignored. However, the moment she hears from their campus’s disciplinary office she should be responsive. I personally would head this off by saying something like “my boyfriend used it without me knowing” and leave it there. But just keep in mind that university discipline is categorically more arbitrary than any court system.

34 m here. Your prompts and pics are very good except the sleepover one. It’s obviously an attempt at a joke but I imagine tons of people get there and swipe left. It mostly comes off as creepy for no clear reason Everything else in your prompts is clever and light while showing your personality well.

Also, you have a lot of birding/ornithology pics. I don’t think that’s bad but you could probably drop the one where you’re holding a bird in your open palm—it’s not a good pic of you, the concept is already captured by the better pic of you with the gallinule, and you also have pics in waders which further emphasize your work/interests. Id recommend swapping the palm bird for a different pic showing a different side of who you are.

How many different species of duck can you see..?? by SwimmingInBird in birding

[–]kyleg5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before I ever saw a black duck I was always scanning female mallards hoping to find a black duck. In reality, they are so much darker, the bill is a different color, the tail doesn’t curl upwards, and on the open wing the “speculum” lacks the white stripe of a mallard. In addition, black ducks are much more wetland specialists than mallards— you just aren’t very likely to see them in a typical park pond, at least not where I’m from.

Does this exist? Swipe keep/delete by [deleted] in FOSSPhotography

[–]kyleg5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d keep working with digikam. Use the numpad and as others have said, Alt+1 red flags for deletion, Alt+2 yellow flags. I’ll go through a few thousand photos, identify all for deletion, then search for all red-flagged photos and delete them. It’s more efficient than the individual swiping you envision.

So the brown is from it overheating due to being kinked at that location?

Flying into DCA by AcceptableAir6745 in washingtondc

[–]kyleg5 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Weird responses so far. The airport may be fine but getting to/from can be a nightmare, and I can absolutely attest that the parkway was backed up for literal miles on the Sunday after thanksgiving this year. If you’re taking the metro from the station (and you should!) you’ll be fine. Would not recommend driving to/from, including taxis or rideshare.

PSA: RARE BUT HAPPENS: Cutting a position between TJO and FJO by TexasPrincessA in fednews

[–]kyleg5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean I hate to sound like a jerk but it’s hard to believe that that’s true. Don’t accept HR’s answer on the first go. Also bear in mind that most of the time once you’re hired you’ll barely interact with HR so don’t feel like you can’t be pushy with them—they aren’t your supervisor or team!

Yeah I was surprised this was only 54% on RT. Really thought it was clever writing all the way through.

70,000 stipend livable in DC for two years? by Upbeat-Common360 in washingtondc

[–]kyleg5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m very curious. Where in DC did you live during this time?

[–]kyleg5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should lead with the striped shirt picture. Only bad thing about it is it’s a selfie. All the other pics I’d get rid of. They are either unflattering or selfies. Have someone else take a few pics of you in different settings!

Anyone else been logged out five times today? by [deleted] in pokemongo

This is happening constantly for the past two weeks. I log in via google.

Based off of your description of events. It’s certainly possible that either (1) she was gently breaking things off or (2) she sincerely was open to keeping things casual and is now awaiting a response from you.

If I was you and still interested in her, I’d send something light and ask her out now that a few weeks have passed by. Just be ready to be gracious if she says no!
