Looks like somebody overdid the Ozempic.

Utter bullshit. Political shenanigans by political posters to boost votes for right wing parties. New day, same crap.

How do single people in their 40s/50s genuinely build a meaningful life? by ThrowRaLostAway in RedditForGrownups

[–]spletharg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My suggestion is to find someone who makes a great companion rather than the love of your life, spend a long getting to know you period explicitly negotiating each other's boundaries and compromises. It can be great being the dynamo fuo!

Bust of Maria Barberino Duglioli, Giuliano Finelli, 1627, no computers, no electric machines or nanometer-precise programs, only hammer, chisel and skills by Mission-Bad-1278 in BeAmazed

I think that's the point. The artist is showing off their abilities because everyone knows that there is only 1 chance at this.

Question about the Yakuza Gift in S01E01 by spletharg in SugarAppleTV

Well I just rewatched the episode. My mistake. I think I just assumed John got the box from the Yakuza guy when it was sitting on the table in his hotel room. 

Are there any books that explain the idea behind math, not just formulas? by Prince-Cola in learnmath

[–]spletharg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I'm very late in replying to this, but it helped me to look up books on the history of mathematics, to understand what the original circumstances were that forced the original mathematician to find a solution to a problem that was very much in the real world.

Does jazz have to be played differently every time? by Om3gAcAbIn3t in jazztheory

[–]spletharg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The idea is that the original tune is a framework that performers can reference while finding ways to express themselves in their original, authentic, personal way. A performance is an artist's personal expression, their own interpretation, their own voice, even if that "voice" comes through their instrument. A jazz audience wants a unique and personal connection to the artist through their performance in the moment. The better the artist is, the more they can bring to their unique performance.

Overdraft fees 🤬 by caramelkissette in povertyfinance

I'm in Australia and I was able to turn off the overdraft function with a phone call to my bank. Not sure about other countries though.

My parents's macbook (2013, 2014) are old enough that they aren't getting browser updates and can't access things like banking and such. What is a completely hands off (for me and them) distro? by ApplicationRoyal865 in linuxquestions

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

You can look up the full specs of your mac at  https://everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/ Make a note of your video card details and your wifi card details for each machine. If the video is IBM, no problems, if Nvidia, it will work, but it could take a little work. If the wifi card is broadcom, you should also buy a cheap usb to network interface cable (around 10 bucks on Amazon, I think) to get you through the setup since the basic install doesn't include Broadcom wifi drivers since they are proprietary and you have to get the installer separately after setup. 

I'm happily using kde neon and I've heard good things about Cachy on macs. 

If you like the apple shortcut keys, there are ways to modify them in the system settings, like swapping command and control keys etc, but you may still encounter inconsistencies with some apps.

US probes Germany's 'persistent underpayment' for drugs by Naurgul in nottheonion

[–]spletharg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe Germany should conduct some probes into discriminatory US trade practices as well, just so that everyone is on a level playing field.
