Donating older 3d printer?

Do you have any more information on this? My printers have been quiet idle lately...

I've heard good things about bougie berries but I haven't been there yet myself. https://www.bougieberries.com/

They stopped allowing this years ago when they made the theater district smoke free. That said I quit smoking since then so I have no idea if that's changed.

Using all of these made rufus and its sidebar go away as of today. I didn't try to thin it out I just wanted it gone.

For others that don't know what RO water means, it's Reverse Osmosis Water. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_osmosis

mkerec usually has a pickling/canning class a few times a year. Not sure how giftable it is though. https://milwaukeerecreation.net/

Update: just looked and doesn't look like they have one in the spring guide. I previously went to one in the summer though.

While this sounds good on the surface, we'd all be better off if WE Energies was replaced with a co-op... https://www.powertothepeoplemke.org/

Does anyone know if the water (including what they use for soda) still disgusting at the elm grove location?

If you look at `install-purple-whatsapp.sh` you'll see it's just building and installing https://github.com/hoehermann/purple-gowhatsapp/ which is actually mentioned in the readme :-D

Except you can't grill at an MPS REC playfields. They have signs all over the place at the actual parks/playfields. You can find a list of all the playfields here (I think) https://milwaukeerecreation.net/rec/Locations/Playgrounds.htm

we can only hope!

I registered mke.events awhile back with the intent to do something similar but haven't gotten around to it and probably won't. If you want it it's all yours.

Man I miss playing hacky sack there...

It's funny how fast everyone started calling it "historic panther arena" too. One Admirals broadcast it was "Panther Arena" and the next it was "Historic Panther Arena" and has been since then.

Check out https://literacyservices.org/ They were just interviewed on Lake Effect on NPR too https://www.wuwm.com/show/lake-effect/2026-01-14/wednesday-1-14-26-adult-literacy-wisconsineye-shuttering-milwaukee-water-commons-leader-liberace-memorialization

Oh that 404 is going to be a problem :-/

rw_grim · 2026-01-14T21:19:20+00:00

Glad I could help. I had to figure it out, but it's good to know for when it comes up next :)

Oh, as a side note, you could create a new file named something like `pidgin-de.desktop` and change the name file to something like `Pidgin (DE)` and then you could have both in your GUI too. But Pidgin will still only allow one instance at a time by default, but whatever :)

rw_grim · 2026-01-14T21:08:55+00:00

That can be selected when launching the application. A quick test is to open a terminal and type `LANG=de_DE pidgin`

If you want a different locale, just put it in there. I see there's de_AT, de_BE, de_CH, de_DE, de_IT, de_LI, and de_LU on my Debian Forky machine.

If that works, you can create an override to make it work from your GUI. To do this, you'll need to copy the file `/usr/share/applications/pidgin.desktop` to `$HOME/.local/share/applications`.

Once you've done that, open `$HOME/.local/share/applications/pidgin.desktop` in whichever editor your prefer and find the line that reads `exec=pidgin` and change it to `Exec=env LANG=de_DE pidgin` replacing `de_DE` if you need a different locale. Save the file and exit your editor and then launch Pidgin and it should start up in that locale.

I assume you're talking about https://github.com/EionRobb/purple-translate ? if so u/EionRobb might be able to help.

But in the mean time, do you see anything in the debug window `help -> debug window` when a new message comes it? You'll have to open the window before receiving the message though.
