I feel like IT could yell at OP for a little bit, but would ultimately have to stare the fact that they allowed non-privileged users to just change the operating system square in the face. Like holy hell, 500 employees and anybody can just be like, “Hey, maybe I’ll make a major OS change today because why not?” What else are they letting happen?!
The cynicism is so valid in examples like this. Haha a few years ago, I would’ve assumed that police didn’t want the “extra” work of having to process the assault; now, there are so many other options available for them to not do work!
My point isn’t that SF police are doing what they’re supposed to, it’s that this problem is systemic. It’s not just the police that are fucking this up, it’s not just fire making comments of pure idiocy about how appropriate it is to test for date rape drugs, it’s a problem that city government, police, fire, and health services are all contributing to when they refuse to test a patient who’s clearly been drugged. They have their tiny bit of hope for deniability (“date rape drugs aren’t commonly used in crimes here” and “what can you do when the test isn’t called for?” kinds of garbage) that every person should recognize as dangerous to all of society.
The city’s goal isn’t safety and justice for all, it’s enough stability to continue operating and growing. Here’s what that might look like:
A fire or police chief is told that city tax revenue (a large source of their station’s funding), goes down when tourists stop visiting. Then, it’s also mentioned that testing for date rape drugs leads to positive results for date rape drugs, and no reasonable person would want to visit a city known for their rates of crimes involving date rape drugs, now, would they? It would be so terrible if there was no money for the station’s most effective community safety programs and equipment upgrades because of declining tourism. If things got bad enough, there might not be enough money to keep the station open without having to rely on public fundraisers like county fair dunk tanks and pancake breakfasts, and doesn’t the city where you built your career deserve better than that?
I think the reason is because they don’t want date rape drugs showing up in their community’s crime and safety stats
I want a script that fills in other data brokers’ contact information!
Immortals: Fenyx Rising is on Steam sale for $6 standard/$10 with the DLC. It’s a story with the Greek pantheon providing most of the characters that doesn’t take itself seriously–it starts off with Prometheus telling Zeus a story, and Zeus is the world’s worst audience. The movement and combat are satisfying, and it’s a ton of fun so far.
My spouse and I went for it by working with a company called Sealed who did ALL of the legwork and laid out all the money for it. They started by analyzing our energy sources and usage history, home layout, and existing insulation. Then they sent out contractors to do things like re-insulate the attic (because our shit was old and not getting the job done adequately anymore) before actually installing the heat pump.
Repayment of the loan from Sealed is done based on how much our energy efficiency improved over our old furnace and insulation. The bill is pretty low in summer when we keep the house cooled and use a lot of power, but we see much larger bills in winter because of how much our efficiency has improved over past years–we’ve eliminated a lot of our waste there. (Sealed offers a balanced billing option where they average a year’s cost and spread it out over 12 months.)
We’re terrible at being adults and doing adult things like home improvement, so it was fantastic to be able to enlist the help of actual adults who were cool about holding our hands through the entire process of greening up our house!
What time zone are y’all in, and what hours do you typically play?
Stop contributing to the problem you’re complaining about 😂
The texture is closest to “wood ear,” a kind of edible fungus that’s used in Chinese (maybe Taiwanese?) cooking. It’s like a mushroom with more “rubbery crunch” to it. Flavorwise, I didn’t notice any unique flavor to the jellyfish itself, it just tasted like whatever it was brined in and didn’t have any fishiness to it.
I’m totally on board–I grew up eating jellyfish at every “nice” Chinese restaurant my parents took us to when I was little. At the very, very least, we should be exploring potential uses for jellyfish bycatch rather than sorting and tossing them to start.
Mario and Luigi are great games! I put so many hours into the first one. :)
There’s going to be an updated and remastered Super Mario RPG released for the Switch next month, and although that’s not a patient gamer choice for a while yet, the original game is still solid and can be played through an SNES emulator.

Yeah! Libraries here in the US can be really great, too. There’s an interlibrary loan program that allows people to request materials from any other library, and the information they carry isn’t limited to books, reference information, and magazines–they do movies, music, and video games, too, and some of them around me have 3d printers available for people to use. I used to live in a rural state, and I still had access to a global network of libraries out there. It was wild!
Libraries are entirely about the free sharing of information, and supporting everybody’s ability to access it. 👍🏼👍🏼
Bringing me back to 1996 😆
