Fear of change? Hahahahaha

No, I just know what’s involved, with the unpredictable “gotcha” a year from now.

Not to mention the knowns. Holy hell switching from Windows to Linux is very problematic for typical end users. Yes, the UI is that different, even with “friendly” distros.

You say your grandma made the switch? OK, so someone who uses a browser for everything and doesn’t actually use office.

Let’s see Libre office open an excel spreadsheet with tables.

Or edit a word doc and send it back and have it not be screwed up.

Not migrating is practicing risk mitigation. Hell, I can’t change a single setting on work systems without validating that change in the lab first. And you want people to switch entire operating systems. For what?

So stop this fear projection nonsense.

(And I work with Linux every day on multiple distros).

That looks like the fan for the convection part of the oven.

Good luck. You can clean it, but it’ll look just like that again in no time. That’s not really dirty for an oven, in my mind.

Know why commercial ovens look like they do? There’s only so much cleaning you can do in it’s down time.

I wouldn’t leave puddles of stuff in an oven, just that they’re going to get coated/caked/baked on, especially since these consumer ovens use a cheap sheet metal inside, which is very hard to clean or keep clean. It’s not stainless or an enamel, which are very hard, non-porous surfaces, which makes them easier to clean.

Most likely the owners manual says to clean it just run it on max for a period of time. That will carbonize whatever is caked on, making it easier to scrape off.

Right?

Let’s see, Pythagorean theorem, is what, a couple thousand years old, and a single statement, right? And it’s the foundation of geometry and trig. Hell, I regularly say it in my head (a2+b2=c2) when trying to figure out spatial relationships, for dumb stuff no less (will this table fit on my patio with room to walk around it?).

It’s how you ensure anything you’re trying to make square is square. In framing (shed, house, deck, whatever) it’s used to ensure you setup your string in the proper orientation and don’t end up with a parallelogram.

And the Periodic table… The bloody basis of understanding chemical reactions and physics.

I guess if you’re not teaching the Periodic Table, there’d be no hope if understanding evolutionary theory, since it’s predicated on chemical behaviour.

So glad I’ve been de-googling for the last couple years.

Stay out of my data, Google.

Now that I’ve moved to a custom rom, it’s just a few months before I disconnect the final few things from my Google account.

While I despise all these hackers these days, I feel like these companies deserve it, for their utterly non-existent data handling protocols.

You lose as much alcohol as you do water, as they’re chemically bound together.

Alcohol doesn’t really cook out of a dish.

You probably have a very good balsamic, something probably not in most grocery stores.

I think most people don’t realize that a great balsamic isn’t the acidic, tart, watery stuff, but something more viscous and damn delicious all on its own (though acidic ones have their place in cooking, like sauerbraten).

I have a few, one that’s just for salad or as a finish, others I’d use while cooking.

Cell tracking is external to the phone. It’s done by the towers - they know signal strength, and by using known tables of that data, cell providers know pretty accurately where your phone is.

To block this you’d need a device that lacks any cellular technology whatsoever. Wifi only.

And that has the same issues, especially with companies like Comcast/Xfiniti using their cable modems to track all the devices around them, even if you don’t connect to them.

Texting uses http over the data channel for MMS.

Config Jellyfin to run as a service when you install.

https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/installation/windows/

Windows supports this.

I’m pretty sure I read a post years ago about how to run Jellyfin as a service (I think it’s even documented on the website).

It already runs as a headless service that you access via a browser, so you just have to configure an actual Windows Service.

I just checked - installing as a service is part of the installer, right on the Jellyfin website.

Meh, no one should be on Facebook.

Too many people say nothing when it’s mentioned, so tacit approval is assumed.

I’ve blocked sites like Twitter and FB, etc, on all my devices and networks. My friends and family still send me links, after I’ve repeatedly told them my devices can’t go to those websites (I’ve never once in my life been on either one).

So I think it’s appropriate to point out using FB is as problematic as Reddit (worse actually. It needs to be continually said.

FB had the Cambridge Analytica scandal that exposed how bad it is, and people still use it 🤦🏼‍♂️. They had tracking pixels for years, and whole I’ve never even visited the FB website, those bastards have a profile on me.

So no, fuck FB.

Yes, you can.

You can use frozen fruit in a lot of stuff. Just watch out for recipes where the wet nature of frozen fruit will be a problem.

My favorite is being provided a solution but with absolutely no context or how the solution addresses the root cause.

Everybody in my team gets to own something. What you own depends on your capability.

This is a point I try to constantly make when people don’t understand why 2 people have the same title but don’t really have the same job, especially in technical fields.

No two people have the same set of skills, so we all end up taking on the tasks we’re more capable of than the next person.

I’ve had good luck on a number of subjects by getting DVDs produced by The Teaching Company from my city library.

I haven’t looked for math stuff yet, so not sure what they have.

Hey, hey now, no kink shaming found here! 🤣

Snikket seems to be it for iOS. But it does work pretty well, I haven’t run into any issues with it.

For Windows well, nothing does voice as far as I know.

Rockauto.com

But parts quality can vary a bit. Still, it’s so much cheaper than anywhere else it’s worth a little risk.

Wow, very well put.

OP: I’d like to recommend a book - “Your Erroneous Zones” by Wayne Dyer. Available on Amazon and used bookstores for a couple bucks. He essentially outlines how to use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to alter our own mis-thinking, and to develop more effective communication.
