Jackett GitHub shows activity in the last day, so I’m not sure where you got the idea that it wasn’t maintained.

Not really. It’s usually obvious from context. Unless you’re trying to be an intentionally obtuse pedant?

No. You can run many GNU/Linux apps on a Mac because the Mac OS is based on BSD which is very similar too, but almost completely separate from GNU/Linux. There is absolutely no guarantee or expectation that any random Mac app will run on Linux. Apple has modified a version of BSD with their own proprietary code to run on their own proprietary hardware to give you a Linux like system structure, but because of BSD’s licensing they don’t have to contribute any of that code back to the community. People can make apps that will run fine in Linux, Mac, BSD, or whatever, but that is highly dependent on the app itself.

You could spend a little for a prosumer router and AP. I have a very similar setup with a cable modem, edge router X (ubnt), a single UniFi AP, and a service running on my server (this could be replaced with a separate hardware device or Raspberry Pi, but the server is going to be running anyway). It’s been rock solid since I set it up, compared to the WiFi/router combo with open-wrt I was running before that struggled and needed restarting regularly.

UPS is not the post office. USPS is the post office.

Three syllables is too many? Your username has the same number of syllables. Many actual personal names have the same number of syllables. Three is the magic number.

Mastodon is WAY cooler than your username, which looks like a misspelling of “tomato tool”.

Masto sounds like slang for breast removal surgery.

Just a reminder that just because someone made a rule or law, doesn’t mean we have justice. Fascists and bigots LOVE rules. The big tent corporate fascists thrive on rules, on law. Disorder is often a fundamental prerequisite for any kind of positive change.

However, the idea that a direct supervisor will by design know when to violate company policy in order to safeguard an employee is not feasible.

This just is not true.

Any halfway competent safety policy, BY DESIGN, allows anyone to stop any work whenever they reasonably judge that work to be unsafe. If that company doesn’t have policy designed as such they should be held criminally liable for the inevitable harm that will result. There is no excuse for any supervisor to not put employee safety at the very fucking top of their priority list, regardless of policy. Anything less is just making excuses. Anyone that puts company policy above community and worker safety deserves to bear the responsibility of their decisions or lack of action when in a position of authority. No company policy is above basic humanity.

Please don’t use bar keepers friend on stainless steel pans, it will just deteriorate the surface and make things stick worse next time. Just put some water in the pan and set it back on heat to simmer, most of the cooked on stuff will just flake away as the water boils. Following up with a rinse with cool water and a scrub (made for gentle work on non-stick surfaces) should take care of the rest. A little discoloration will not ruin the pan. Stainless pans work better when seasoned just like cast iron.

His supervisor and those in charge of writing this policy at Kroger should be charged with manslaughter. In the heat we’ve been dealing with, especially this summer, limiting breaks in which a worker can cool down and hydrate is aggressively cruel and obviously deadly. A worker can’t will themselves to overcome basic thermodynamics. Workers should always feel empowered by support from their direct supervisors to take breaks when they need them, regardless of company policy. I don’t care if some jerk abused the system once, no company’s profit is worth a life.

It does make you think twice before hitting that shutter. Lots of life lessons when shooting film, such as learning to appreciate a lot less instant gratification.

It’s funny because you can go buy an old rugged K-1000 with a basic 50mm prime lens for under $100, a couple rolls of film for less than $20, and the developing costs you can put off until later. That’s still about a tenth of the cost of a good new digital camera and this thing is built like a tank and forces you to learn the fundamentals. Very quickly, you’ll discover that your film and developing costs will quickly outpace the initial investment on a digital camera. Moreover, you’ve discovered that finding good glass to match you camera is no cheaper and a lot more difficult than finding lens for that sexy new digital camera that was outside your budget initially.

A gun is unlikely to make you much safer in public. It will significantly increase your risk for gun related injury or death in your own home. A concealed weapon in public opens you up to liability, as well as an easy excuse for any police to murder you if they discover your gun before you can completely submit and follow their often confusing and conflicting orders. An unconcealed gun just makes you a higher profile target for an armed maniac like in the article and also the police. The statistics just don’t support the idea in general that getting a gun ever makes anyone any safer from gun violence.

I understand your motivation to protect yourself and I support your right to do so through responsible and informed gun ownership. Go take the prerequisite gun safety classes first. Go find a range that will let you shoot with their equipment. Start the process of getting a gun with as much education and experience as you can. Read the about the statistics of gun violence, paying attention to where the funding for each paper comes from. Read up on your rights, but also train yourself on how to deal with police encounters, now that you’re going to be the thing most police are pants passingly afraid of. This will help in dealing with police even when your not armed. If you’re not already going to therapy, make it a regular part of your gun maintenance. If you and the gun will be living with anyone old enough to grasp objects and understand language, make sure they go to gun safety classes also. If you have children that will have friends over know that a lock is not enough to keep kids safe (gun locks are notoriously easy to bypass), they all need age appropriate gun safety education.

Do you live in a dry climate? Since the condensation is just pulling moisture from the humid air around it, in some regions the volume of condensation can be mind boggling. I agree that it sounds like too much water, but only because I doubt that an old cop car has an AC working well enough. Even then, it’s an option worth checking and rulling out.

Can anyone name any living language, scripting or otherwise, without arcane syntax?

And straws account for very little of the petroleum use and plastic waste in the world, yet here we are.

I don’t disagree with you in fact, but this comment is what-about-ism and arguing a straw-man since I never claimed privileged kids couldn’t be afraid of dogs. As a result, it comes off a little racist, regardless of your hopefully we’ll meaning intentions.

They don’t have security in the halls, those are actual police that will send you to real jail, with a real record, for the standard bullshit behavioral problems and trouble that almost all teens go through. And these kids know that there is always a very real possibility that the police with just murder them and then get rewarded with a paid vacation.

I know you’re kidding, but you touch on a very real point that I think will pass unnoticed by many. You know that this will be in predominantly poor schools. Schools that are attended mostly by people of color. I’m reluctant to make generalizations, but I have encountered far more children of color afraid of or anxious around dogs of any size relative to white children. I don’t know all the reasons why, but my gut says to blame the use of police dogs against people in their neighborhood, in their families, and people on TV that look like them. Maybe my experience is anecdotal and my experience is not the norm, but I no longer assume that all children will be friendly with or calmed by interaction with a dog, even a very calm friendly dog. Having grown up with dogs, it’s hard to empathize with that, but I try to be sympathetic. These dogs are only there to instill fear in kids from a young age and to train them to abdicate their dwindling rights to the people in power.
