  If by streaming, you mean using a client-server architecture to get a sound signal to the aux port, then yes, I use mpv with pipewire.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your test for people?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If it’s a self service place, I tend to look around if there is a place to keep the dishes (kinda like SubWay has).
  Otherwise, I don’t stack. Waiters can have different ways of taking the dishes and those ways are usually based on all the dishes being random-access. I’d rather do nothing, than stack it the wrong way.

  playable

  as in “it does not work on Win 10”?
  Because I found it playable, myself. It was on Win 7, if I remember correctly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everyone thinks the Deus Ex remaster looks awful and they're right: 'They really turned those 1999 graphics into 2003 graphics'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  better specs to run it than Mankind Divided

  Guess I’ll stay content with the old one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you think of any now?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They were just a little wrong, “Flu shots give you a flu”.

  There are 2 types of these shots essentially:

  1. the pathogen is put into some other thing that creates stuff that fights against said pathogen. That stuff is then extracted and given in the shot.
  2. the pathogen itself is processed and given to you. This causes your body to make stuff that fights against the pathogens. Your body then vaguely remembers how the pathogen felt and hence, increases the reaction your body does to any attack from a similar pathogen that comes the next time. This is the one corresponding to the above quote.

  Of course, if your immune system is weak, the processed pathogen can be enough to give you quite a bit of a problem.

  Did you make sure to spray WD40 into those tubes before turning on that water?
  They only said no for drinking water, not for eye cleaning water. Get all the rust out of your eye sockets and lubricate them for grater eye-rolling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The inner fire of my hatred COULD melt steam beams⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Water can do weird stuff.
  Here’s another

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can't argue that.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah.
  I use KCharSelect for it and have been considering making a plasmoid for it for a while now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can't argue that.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  A lot of things are easier to learn when you have a base foundation.

  Also, a lot of skills have interrelated mental pathways, so once you have enough exp with one, learning the other means, you are actually plasticising your brain, less than what you would have, had you learnt the other skill without knowing the first.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can't argue that.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I know I’m late, but you can also use:
  R² = 0.11

  Someone said it messes with screen-readers, but when I tried, everything messed with screen-readers, so I don’t see much of a difference.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨suspicion⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Drywall is primarily made of gypsum, which is a mineral composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate, sandwiched between layers of paper or fiberglass.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨suspicion⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  On the other hand, it could also mean:

  • Number of “me” = 1
  • Number of “voices” = 0

  Perhaps the voices went away, after getting rid of that pesky concealment, now that the wall is in debugging mode.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨suspicion⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  C. It’s very likely the context given in the caption is a joke anyway and you’re taking things way too seriously.

  You gotta take bokeh-ing seriously.
  Did you know, the neighbour’s child go an A+ in their last joke-test?
  Now stop lazing around and get back to joking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨suspicion⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How is that “me-1”? You just destroyed your wallpaper and found nothing.
  Oh, it’s “-1” as in “minus one”. Makes sense.

  Next time, perhaps try checking what is on the other side of the wall.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people call it “woke”?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I came here to say this. You worded it better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mom!!!! Can we pls???⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That is before tax.
  You might have to consider interstate duties.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mom!!!! Can we pls???⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It will match at Layer 0 but not at Layer 1.
  Some DIY would be required.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the human body so incredibly bad at responding to colds?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  nimbus

  Ah man too many variants to keep track of.

  When I got COVID, it luckily wasn’t too bad. None of the “loss of senses” stuff.
  Just had some weakness and reduced metabolism (ok, I did get pretty slim in the wrong places) for ~ a month and was then kinda fine.
  The second time I got it, only a little weakness. I even walked over to the clinic for testing, alone.

  And I’d call that very lucky, considering that the common flu, the next year, ended up being worse on me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the human body so incredibly bad at responding to colds?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There was a cartoon on it too, no?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the human body so incredibly bad at responding to colds?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Simple:

  1. Drink water
  2. I Clear the snot in the wash basin every 30 minutes
  3. I Don’t drink the snot that comes in backwards from your my nose, no matter how lazy you are I am feeling
     • spit it out in the wash basin
     • this way you I don’t get cough
  4. I don’t take paracetamol or symptomatic relief medicine, instead keep 2-3 handkerchiefs to keep it clean
  5. Sinuses blocked and blowing nose is not enough, there is a medicine for it. But if you can, try some mace and nutmeg powder instead.
  6. Fever? Yes. I Sleep with it.
     • Feeling weak, I take some ORS (the one with sugar in it)

  And the most important part, don’t go around coughing/snorting it at other people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sexualized video games are not causing harm to male or female players, according to new research⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “can be” ⇏ “has to be”

  And it’s not fiction that sets high standards, but the people watching it, that are doing so.

  Now you may say that the people are setting those standards only because they are watching said stuff.
  But that is just rephrasing, “the people watching fiction are incapable of having their own imagination”.

  Back in school, I had a classmate that had a much greater height than others, due to steroid usage.
  Now if you say that his parents did that because they watched “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure”, I’ll say it was not released yet and I have no reason to believe that they bought comic strips from another country and went ahead and made a ‘gag’ piece a basis for their standards.

  Make sure to make a video.

  If you can also write an article, you can call it ‘science’

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No brainer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Forget combat, how many times have you nearly missed slipping and falling while climbing stairs because of imperfect foot placement?
  Well, for when you actually and up being in a bad enough position to slip, you get to save yourself, positioned perfectly for the next stride.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No brainer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We all have free gravel.
  And that is why we don’t get any other ability.

  Oh yeah, you need to transport it yourself though.
  You will find it on roadsides, clogged-up open drains, hilly areas, riverbeds etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No brainer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If I were to lose my ability to walk, would I choose:

  • ability to maybe walk, maybe like an old man, maybe not
  • ability to teleport along with my stuff, 7" per thought

  On the other hand, maybe I can only teleport once, for when I take the pill. That might end up being pretty useless for this case.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Metal Genres (Accurate)⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What about Alkali Metals, Alkaline Earth Metals and Transition Metals.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My favorite board game!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, maybe if you are covered with petrol (gasoline) and you stick it in long enough for the bottom of the handle to get hot enough to ignite it.
  Of course, that is assuming that the Voltage is high enough to get the metal hot enough before the petrol evaporates away.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who is the enemy?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The trick is to occasionally let some fires through, just enough to let the users feel the heat before fixing them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨anons brother has some strong opinions⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, I have seen drains clog up so bad that the parapets act like a bowl and capture the ~1m of water with the roof still staying mostly intact (although seepage would have greatly increased there), so something other than my calculations is holding up that roof.

  So I guess one would have to rely on the melting-refreezing to break down the roof, considering that without the phenomenon, the ice would be pretty fluffy and light.
