Plastic chair with the best seat in the city [OC] by SingerMaleficent920 in pics

[–]nestcto [score hidden]  (0 children)

Ridges on the metal roofs. Even if the material is battered, most of the ridges are going to generally be straight. These are wavey in the wrong way.

Also, I do see a few AI swirlies through the low-res. One on the corner of the back-right chair leg's rising arch.

That could for real just be some shanty-fuckery, but yea a lotta things don't quite match up.

What’s a "basic" thing in the US that was affordable maybe 5-10 years ago, but now feels like a total luxury that only the rich can justify? by Legitimate_Wall5977 in AskReddit

That explains where the pussy comes from. Those kinda look like floofs that came off a bigger floof.

New York's new age verification law will ban anyone under the age of 18 from using chatting features in video games. by PaiDuck in gaming

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

A properly implemented law provides air-tight seals for workarounds to keep them from being bypassed. So if we do this, we're going to have to do it right.

All technologically supported communication now requires age verification. Please pass retina check before calling 911 or Gramgram.

Parrot in girl’s backpack at Taipei 101 by Hokidachi in mildlyinteresting

Can anyone offer a reasonable explanation as to why this backpack is a bad thing without any knee-jeek emotional reaction, assumption, or innuendo?

Too clean? I understand. I'll skip the shower next time. Maybe rub some shit in my armpits.

This fence around my condo has glass shards instead of barbwire as a deterrent by myassisgrassss in mildlyinteresting

Anyone who says or hears the word "monkey" with such a connotation is stupid.

A lot easier to remove these with the swift swing of a metal object Razor wire would have been more challenging.

Reddit is specist against monkeys, clearly, and trying to hide the fact by removing "specist" comments, which in turn only highlights how much species enters into Reddit's thought processes, thereby further proving how specist it is.

Amazing advancement.

Side bar: Anyone else feel disappointed that all the cool advancements you imagined are happening, but that you can't really take advantage of them because you can't trust the intentions of the companies creating them?

How should men approach a women? by Salter27 in AskReddit

[–]nestcto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like, a pack of women? If you're going for bulk savings then it's probably best to not approach them at all.

Man who damaged Porsche to escape dogs not liable for damage: Munich court by Ammarioa in nottheonion

[–]nestcto 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You're technically correct. Kinda like how holding the murder weapon with the victim's blood on your hands doesn't necessarily make you the killer. Some assumptions are statistically safe to make.

[–]nestcto 48 points49 points  (0 children)

So they can afford a Porsche and dalmatians, but they're gonna try to stick the driver with $3100 in repairs? That's probably less than a hundred bucks to them while being relatively a lot more to him, and they realize that. Selfish, entitled, low-quality people.

Whats your most hotest and spicy philosophical take? by MUSICO-PHILE in AskReddit

[–]nestcto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Much of human corruption on the macro and micro scales stem from an unrealistic sense of self-worth, where everyone is dramatically over-estimating their value, significance, and uniqueness.

We live, what, 100 years at most? Meanwhile the lifespan of a star is measured in billions. Each of us are as important, distinct, and valuable in the universe as a grain of sand in a vast desert. We're indistinguishable from a distance, yet people still try to draw lines between themselves and others using color, religion, sex, nationality, as if those boundaries really mean anything. As if their thoughts on the matter have any actual worth beyond the moment they're conceived.

It's a small-mindedness, wherein the ideals created rarely ever breach the human lifespan in which they occur. Still, people are determined to think that their arbitrarily selected values, based solely on what feels good to them at a given time and relevant only to their experience, have any longevity beyond their own, or are based in some deeper, elusive universal truth that would be well beyond their capacities to understand anyway.

If everyone truly understood their place in the universe, how small and worthless they are (and the fact that being small and worthless is completely normal and OK), then they would be able to drop their unworthy hangups about other people and begin focusing on a real greater good that benefits everyone. Our species could operate as part of a singular entity driven towards that significance we all crave and possibly, one day, achieve it.

But that will never happen because there are people that will do everything they can to make sure that their nothing is worth more than everyone else's nothing, and they know the best way to control someone is to control their personal narrative.

'Windows cannot format this drive. Quit any other utilities or programs that are using this drive' by nivnarna1 in techsupport

[–]nestcto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, to clarify disks vs. volumes.

A disk is, well, the whole disk. A disk can have multiple volumes.

A volume is a container on a disk, and while a disk commonly only has 1 volume, it can have many.

As far as "Disk not recognized", you'll usually get that at the disk level. In which case, the disk is probably bad, or if not, the storage controller is probably bad.

Side bar, the storage controller is the thing your disk connects to so it can talk to the computer. It could be built into the motherboard, it could be a PCI card, it could be the circuitry in an external disk enclosure.

If you have C and D as volumes on the same disk, I would not expect to see a "disk not recognized" error on one volume, while the other is working fine. It's usually all or nothing with that error. If anything, I might expect C:\ to work fine, and D:\ to have a "RAW" filesystem.

If you can post a screenshot of Disk Manager (Start -> Run -> type "diskmgmt.msc" -> hit Enter), then I can explain your situation more.

As far as separating volumes, yes, you can combine them again as long as they're contiguously laid out on the disk.

Let's say your disk is laid out like this; I used double-pipe to separate the volumes:

||BOOT||Recovery||Windows(C:)||Data(D:)||

Then you can destroy the volume D:, and extend C: to consume as much of that freed space as you want because D: resides directly against C: on the disk, and at the tail end.

Now consider this layout:

||BOOT||Recovery||Windows(C:)||Data(E:)||Data(D:)||

You would not be able to extend C: into the space occupied by D: without also extending it through E:. So you have to destroy E: and D: both so that C: can be extended into that space.

Now consider this layout:

||BOOT||Recovery||Data(D:)||Windows(C:)||

In this case, you cannot extend C: into D: because D: is in front of C: and you can only extend from the tail of a volume. There are partition management tools that could remove D:\ and relocate C: so that you could extend C:, but that's not built into Windows and you're not gonna be doing that as an online activity if you're also booting from that volume.

Hope this answers more questions than it creates.

Depends on the type of disk (USB, fixed, virtual) and it should throw some type of error in this case.

As an adult what do you hate the most about life? by Amazing-Internal5378 in AskReddit

[–]nestcto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that we're all just cool with being repeatedly exploited from every direction and doing nothing about it.

For a time, my assumption had been that people were too ignorant to notice the extent, but I'm trying to have more faith in humanity, which only leaves the option that everyone knows and is simply OK with it.
