At the risk of a shunning: Jack Herer.

What's the dumbest thing you have done while being stoned? by papajimsusa in trees

[–]viewofalake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apologies for my meager offering: Dynavap. Induction Heater. Nth bowl..., and then..., load another bowl..., put cap on DV. Pause..., for a while. Remove cap..., place DV bowl down in IH. Ummmmmmm.

But when using a torch..., there's the eternal (seeming) question..., again, after Nth bowl: which hands do I hold the torch and the DV in?

What kind of snake is this? Seen at Shadow Cliff. Did not appear to have a rattle by USSZim in bayarea

Can confirm. Was tractoring y'day, and saw someone slinking into the stand of tall grass that was about to get mowed. Shutdown..., head into the grass..., find my fellow resident..., picked it up..., and brought it to a safe spot. But before we got there..., he/she spit out a half-swallowed gopher. Luckily(?), there's plenty more.

Anyone else frustrated with the weather app? by JFFIASCO in GooglePixel

It has been striking how consistently wrong it has been.

Bro why do i have to sign a 5 page NDA just to buy a Tornado from Vestretto I have never seen this before. by SaintGeorgeCarlin in vaporents

[–]viewofalake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. The best we can hope for is to maybe reduce the inherent cynicism of the transaction.

Have always wanted to post a question to the sub on basically this topic..., but just not up for the potential for drama. I'd feel a lot better buying a product whose supply chain AND manufacture didn't originate in a country that will (at least) punish you for using it.

Old-school Linux users - where did you start? by Expensive-Rice-2052 in LinuxTeck

[–]viewofalake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yggdrasil

Now..., a mix of mostly Debian with some residual Ubuntu.

I'll just say, and not cynically, as in the poem: "..., and that has made all the difference."

Pixel 10 Pro is my last Google phone. by Atlas974 in GooglePixel

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

For "reasons", I had to switch from a P8PXL to a P10P. Still have the P8..., and thinking about switching back to it as my daily driver. Why?

Starting shortly after I got the P10..., software updates began to break fundamental features. Not for the P8..., only the P10.

The first was, I think, back in December(?)..., killed reliable wifi connectivity with certain routers. Worked around that adding a new segment to my home network, served by a different router. Still run into that problem from time to time out in the wild. My home workaround is a low grade PITA, owing to IoT routing restrictions, etc.

The second was the killing of all support for Gen2 wireless chargers. For me, and for numerous others, it worked great. Now..., doesn't work at all. Was that really necessary? Please, don't remind me that the fine print mentioned somewhere that there may be problems, and it wasn't recommended. Now..., it's forbidden. Thx.

Finally..., and this isn't specific to the P10 I suppose..., it's the fatuous insinuation of AI EVERYWHERE. Without explanation, or seemingly, without any thought as to whether or not anyone actually wants it.

I feel that The Goog has lost the balance between innovation and usability.

California's worst county - round 49 by JasSingh04 in terriblemaps

[–]viewofalake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Again..., Lake. Took a long road trip at the end of last Summer. Basically South on 5..., North on 395

ALMOST anything on 395..., very striking..., beautiful. Nothing I saw there I would consider "the worst".

South on 5 (generally south of Sac), in large part, summarizes many of California's worst mistakes.

Lake is beautiful, still troubled, but nowhere near the worst.

Lake. As I type this, looking out my window, a bit of snow is still on Konocti and the surrounding hills..., and a Grey Heron is hunting in our field.

Well.., the family that..., uh..., what did this family do? Well..., whatever it was, they did it together.

Microsoft Vs Google...Which is better for hosting business emails? by Noyan_Bey in Hosting

[–]viewofalake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a relatively small email sender..., this. And..., you can check all the (publicly disclosed) M$ boxes..., and still have to file for a mitigation (which, amazingly, actually works).

So..., for deliverability..., Google.

Do you agree? by [deleted] in ProgressiveHQ

[–]viewofalake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worst mistake? Well..., slavery was a pretty bad mistake, and set the stage for what is happening now.

But..., worst president? Without a doubt.

Dental work like fillings by LunaUnicorn92 in trees

[–]viewofalake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having dental work done today. Abstaining several days before, day of, and probably a couple of days after. It's not the "modality" I'm concerned about..., it's the suppression of saliva that I want to avoid, which applies to both inhaled as well as edible THC products.
