I didn’t get the message as well.

I think the big reason is the tree to the right obscuring the continuity from the pond to the house. Maybe the row of flowers continuing towards the pond’s edge (sans tree) would have made it more obvious.

“Welcome to fun with flags!”

Unless we dissect the original paper in its entirety, I don’t think we should dismiss their methods out of hand.

I’ll reserve judgement until peer-reviews can confirm or rebuke the results.

If you’re not gluten-intolerant, you’ll be surprised to know how many things they put flour into. It’s so ubiquitous to the human diet you can find it in virtually everything across all kinds of cuisine.

This scenario was basically my life’s story and I had to do this every time I went to restaurant back then. Thankfully I’m no longer gluten-sensitive.

P.S. Even factory-made plain potato chips aren’t safe. (Check the labels very carefully!)

I have an iPhone 10, which is now locked to iOS 18.7.

I still won’t upgrade it, because fuck planned obsolescence. This device works and works very well. If I face any software/security issues in the future I will jailbreak it. Haven’t done so thus far only for the sake of banking apps.

This is my last bastion and the phone I’ll be using for the rest of my life, or until it decays to crumbs between my fingers.

Edit: FUCK. The screen just broke. Did I just jinx it? <instant_regret.jpg>

Definitely! And the reason is obvious.

You think this is funny, but a codebase I once inherited did exactly this. Up until that point in my life, I never imagined I’d ever have such a violent urge to strangle someone.

Bonus: the system had two types of accounts for signups: one for employers and one for employees. Naturally, it would set the role of the created account during the signup process, but the issue was that anyone could submit a signup request with a custom payload and set themselves as the third account type: administrator.

Bonus #2: during a self-update request (avatar change, etc), users were able to change their own IDs in the database.

It was 100% vibe-coded by two imbeciles in two months. We had to rebuild 80% of that codebase.

Decade of the Linux Desktop. It’s here guys!

“All my life, I have loved this land; worked it with my hands…”

Because assholes exist. If they don’t do it like this then some opportunistic pieces of shit will constantly occupy lots. Making the parking cost the same as everywhere else (or even more if possible) is the only way to keep the parking spaces available for those who need them.

They can then waive the fee/fines on a case-to-case basis like what happened with OP.

Glad you’re doing well!

Nah, you’re thinking of orichalcum, an orgasm is the philosophical position that states that the universe and its various parts ought to be considered alive and naturally ordered

Exactly

Yeah. Weird vibes.

Ahh, FlashGet, you used to be a beautiful thing. At least before they turned it into an adware shitfest. Glad I migrated off Windows before then.

You could use a custom udev rule: https://linuxmind.dev/2025/09/02/auto-mount-usb-with-udev-rules/

Not sure if auto-mounting is what you want though.

Not to mention that most VPS IP ranges are on blocklists nowadays due to past abuse, and getting them whitelisted with every major provider you want to send emails to is an exercise in futility. Getting an address that’s not already blacklisted somewhere is quite rare.

To send mail reliably you’ll have to use a third-party service like SendGrid or MailChimp and configure your mail server to forward emails through them. They likely aren’t that expensive (completely free for the basic tier I think) for personal use cases (e.g you’re not sending newsletters to thousands or something) but it defeats the purpose anyway if your goal is to make your emails purely private.

Fair point. Although it made me feel called out more than most. :|

From personal experience, most behavioural/mental/psychological disorders are just that, but condensed and amplified to extremes.

Having ADHD is like riding a rollercoaster and forgetting to get off every time it stops, then spending the rest of the loop distractedly wondering why and trying to figure out a way to get off it, during which you miss the exit again.
