My favorite bug in catOS is when an interrupt is thrown during the groom routine more than half the time the tongue doesn’t get retracted. All cats do that, I’ve seen lions do it.
- Comment on Is it possible to install my own OS on a "smart" TV? Is that a thing? 20 hours ago:
What I did was bought a “commercial” television that’s intended to either be put in a waiting room and tuned to Fox News all day, OR used as digital signage. It’s not quite an Arby’s menu board because it’s still obviously a television, has a tuner and such, but it has no “smart” TV in it and the backlight isn’t as “won’t survive a run of Breath of the Wild” like the TCL televisions my parents own. Then I slapped a Raspberry Pi 4 on the back with OSMC on it. Meanwhile I did replace my small form factor desktop gaming rig, so I have a Ryzen 3600/GTX1080 rig sitting unplugged under that television waiting for me to build up the gumption to switch over to it.

You might argue that the dairy and sugar dessert beverages served at Starbucks often don’t count as real coffee, much the way Android has very little in common with the rest of the Linux ecosystem. It technically has Linux/coffee in it.

Do not underestimate the power of an officious little bitch like a TSA agent’s ability to choose following the rules over common sense.

There’s a surprising amount of modern Christian lore that actually comes from The Divine Comedy, the granddaddy of all ascended fanfic.

I think in this graphic I would replace the Fedora pour-over thing with a French Press because they already did pour-over with Arch.
And then Android is a Starbucks cup.

True story, you’d have to sell those at the vegan commune or something.
But you can get decent flavor out of a round red tomato. I know, I do it every year.

Long shelf life and/or physical durability. Alton Brown made this point in an episode of Good Eats by clamping a supermarket tomato in a bench vise.

I’ve noticed a pretty direct correlation with a woman’s habit of masturbating and her ability to orgasm during sex. The chick I was seeing just before I went back to college, I’d believe it if you told me that I’ve played with her clit more than she ever has TO THIS DAY, and guess what? She never once gave me any suggestion on what she wanted me to do, I’m sure because she genuinely didn’t know.

You don’t need permission to make someone pissed off, you do need their permission to make them pissed on.

Positions and angles of attack can matter. Something that feels good for one girl does nothing for or hurts another. And it’s not necessarily a matter of “I like this position” because it’s about how your two bodies interact. It’s very possible you both like different things. I had a girlfriend fairly early on where we pretty quickly realized I liked this and she liked that, and we’d take turns doing the other’s favorite. Dynamics of sexual relationships became a lot less adult after high school.

Sex ed is often about how babby formed and less about erotic technique.

I’m sure it’ll piss someone, somewhere off. Literally everything does. Watch, I’m about to post “I’m sure it’ll piss someone, somewhere off. Literally everything does.” on Lemmy, and it’ll piss someone off.
- Comment on Black owner here.... without context that sounds really bad 4 days ago:
There is a cat fancy, purebred cats exist, but there is a population of normal cats in the world that haven’t had their genes mangled, where there really isn’t with dogs. Every single dog in the world is a something something mix, whereas my cat is “a grey one.”
- Comment on I would personally just treat whatever direction I'm facing at the time as North and go from there. 4 days ago:
I think it helps that I’ve been a pilot since I was a teenager. Spend some time where you can see a third of a state at a time you’ll just develop this sense. You get a bigger picture of how things are oriented relative to each other that’s sort of like, wherever you are in your home, you can probably work out which way the road outside goes, likely parallel to one of your walls. I can do that over much greater distances. If you’ve ever stood in the middle of a parking lot in a strip mall, and gone “the highway is over there, the Belk is over there, the J.C. Penney is that way, the furniture store is down on that end and I know the Red Lobster is just on the other side of it though I can’t see it from here,” I can do that with the major cities in my state.
Orienting yourself if you’ve gotten turned around is another habit to build up. Yes “the afternoon sun is in the West” but also if you’re in the Northern hemisphere, your shadow will point North at noon. I also have a pretty good picture of the highway system in my head and can orient myself by knowing the general heading of a nearby highway.
From both my time as a pilot and as an amateur radio operator I’m familiar with the various towers across the state. I’ve used those to work out my approximate location and heading both in the air and on the ground. In medium sized cities often there’s a city center with a few tall buildings that can be seen for several miles around, orienting yourself to them can help you develop a sense of direction. I’ve started doing that almost subconsciously.
Now if I were to wake up in a cave my gyros would be tumbled until I managed to get out. I don’t have an actual built-in compass. But it wouldn’t take me long to orient myself seeing how the daylight hit the cave entrance.

how do people not orient themselves?

someone in the comments on youtube pointed out that many purpose built air fryers exhaust the air so the interior stays drier, where convection ovens recirculate air and hang onto humidity.

I don’t know how much more bandwidth inefficient we can make it after that.
