Works for floors!

which was me moving my reusable bag to the other side at a low angle.

Seems like a system like that would be easily fooled by confidently moving an item across the scanner and into the baggage area without scanning it.

Blink-blink-blink. Blink. Blink. Blink. Blink-blink-blink.

No, I don’t have something in my eyes, I swear I’m fine looks nervously at boss.

Best typo ever.

Living next to a park is great. I do the same, except I’ve got my phone with me connected to teams. I can get back home on my computer in under 2 minutes if I need to.

But seriously, are there really women who talk about men in those terms?

Yes. Personally, I see it as the mirror image of the “tradwife” thing where toxic men see their partner as a subservient maid. Seeing men as primarily an income source comes from a similar place imho.

Ublock origin isn’t the only ad blocker out there. If you like Ublock origin, use Ublock origin lite. It’s fully V3 compliant.

While we’re on the topic of EU initiatives, the tax the rich initiative still needs signatures. It aims to set a floor on tax rates for the very wealthy, and have member states use that new money for environment, employment and social policies.

They’ve hit the threshold for France and Germany, but still need more signatures everywhere else.

Modern Romania isn’t totalitarian. Thankfully, these days the old ladies just snoop on everyone to gossip and complain passively aggressively, not to report to the state. I’d argue that’s an improvement.

Deadly serious. By the end of communism, they had over a million informants. You had to make the assumption that everyone you talked to and every old lady on a park bench was an informant.

Funny story, I know someone who was recruited to inform on her colleagues at work, but after the third time in a row she told them everything is wonderful, everyone is happy and productive, she was promptly fired (as an informant, not from the factory).

It’s actually a bit deeper than that, at least from my Romanian perspective. Our old ladies were literally hired by our security services to monitor and report on everything going on in their neighbourhoods. They were essentially human CCTVs, facial recognition and behavioural pattern matchers all rolled into one while being paid pennies.

The absurd is a result of the confrontation between human need and the unending screams of the victims being run over infinitely.

Is there a proper small scale database solution?

Spreadsheets in the office suite of your choice

I’d upload an image but either voyager or my instance won’t let me for some reason, so sorry if this doesn’t embed right

Embedded just fine on my end (Jerboa)

Do not buy a sphinx if you’re allergic to cats. People who are allergic are generally allergic to the oil (sebum). Sphinxs are awful for people who are allergic.

If not bathed regularly, they’ll cover your furniture in that oil too.

Yes. Security through obscurity is an illusion. ClamAV is a well known and high performance open source AV solution.

Edit: Here is the CWE entry on the topic in case anybody wants to read some more details as to how and why obscurity is not a valid approach to security.

Wouldn’t surgery like that completely destroy your ability to detect direction of sound?

They pushed a driver update. That update is broken and causes the bootup sequence to fail.

i really think it’s just more nuanced.

Absolutely! Despite making a short straightforward comment about my own experiences with the time commitment and cost of veganism, I fully understand that it’s more nuanced in my own life, let alone across the breadth of differing human experiences and cultures worldwide.

One of my absolute favourite food products is Felix vegetarian hash

I am genuinely glad you managed to find a cheap and tasty food which can at least help you reduce slightly your meat purchases.

Being a vegan is expensive in time and money

I don’t think the second half is true. Despite being subsidized like crazy, meat is still relatively expensive.

It’s definitely more time-consuming if you wouldn’t be cooking otherwise. At least in my experience if you want to eat something vegan you gotta make it yourself (at least in my home country).
