  This looks really interesting, so if I have a folder on a computer and I have it setup to share, then any time something gets added to that folder then is it automatically updated for anyone with the link?

  Also, where should people go to help, or find out how to help?

  Do you guys often miss while standing and, if you do, not clean up after? Yes… and, sadly, not always. Just take a look around a urinal (which shouldn’t be difficult at all to miss) and I don’t think this is just a ‘me’ issue.

  When you’re sitting do you not have an issue with the pee splashing UP the side of the bowl onto the seat? I have this happen often. The biggest issue I typically have is the toilet water is really cold if I accidentally hang down into it, but I normally don’t have a problem with pee hitting the sides of the bowl.

  Yeah, sorry… someone else had riled me up, and I didn’t do a cache flush before seeing your comment.

  I’ve only been questioned once about sitting to pee… it was after about 10 years of being married. My wife asked one day if I sit while peeing at home, and when I told her that I do she said “I’ve always wondered why there isn’t pee all over our bathrooms”.

  No, more like using a pen to write about how important the 2nd amendment is, without actually needing to own a gun first.

  But, like, what point do you think I was trying to make? That if I don’t sit down to pee then I won’t be able to pee standing? I’m really confused at your attempt to shoehorn politics into a conversation about piss.

  I always sit to pee when I’m at home, mostly so I don’t have to worry about spray/drippage/seat positions, but I also believe that men have this amazing power where we have the ability to stand and pee… and I think the biggest flex you can make when you have amazing power is to only use that power when it makes sense. Restraint is power.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Patient gamer philosophy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree, this is why I consider myself a ‘patient gamer’… I don’t want to reward releasing half-done games, or trickling out DLC that should have been included in the original release.

  I had to re-evaluate my stance on this when Baldur’s Gate 3 was released because I really wanted to play it, but was going to wait until it went on sale. Then the reviews starting coming in saying that it was a full game, no major issues, and no planned DLC. I immediately purchased it because **THAT **is the behavior I want to reward, and I’m very glad that I did.

  Did you even notice how many times you said ‘I’?

  The trick is to then open the image in Gimp and export it.

  Only to find out that whales are some of the foulest mouthed, rudest, and just plain mean creatures on the planet. Sure, they are mostly gentle physically, but they will absolutely destroy you verbally.

  But all joking aside… what would you ask a whale?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Baldur's Gate 3 'Isn't Going to be on Game Pass', Insists Larian Boss⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree, I was of the mindset that I wasn’t going to buy it at launch because too many games are broken at launch, but then I the reviews were all great, and I learned that there would be no microtranactions and I realized that this is the type of game I want to reward by buying early and paying full price. I’ve not been disappointed.

  I was at a Courtyard by Marriott and they had a fully accessible TV that allowed me to connect my SteamDeck and play from the bed. I will definitely stick with Courtyard for my business travel just for this alone.

  Google has this power, and uses it quite often. And you don’t have to be famous, or even do anything wrong to lose access to your Google account, and your family photos, your email address, your phone number… or anything else you’ve trusted Google to handle for you.

  Meet Mark (tech.slashdot.org/…/dad-photographs-son-for-docto…). Mark’s young son had an infection on his penis and he was asked by the doctor’s office to take a photo so the doctor could evaluate it (this was during Covid). Google’s AI child porn detector flagged it, and started a process which got the police involved (they quickly realized that there was no crime), but Google still shutdown Mark’s account and hasn’t given it back.

  If you have anything you value inside Google’s (or any other company’s) ecosystem, you should have a backup because this happens quite often (don’t even think about doing a chargeback against Google if they take money from you that they shouldn’t have).
