Haha same. That's why I started with the other formats. I would hit the sheets, read a page then wake up to my alarm.

I cheat a little bit. I always get the paper, digital and audiobook of whatever I'm reading.

Nothing to do? Paper. On break at work? E-book. Cooking dinner? Audiobook at 2x.

That said, I read the entire first novella in one night in bed and then I downloaded/borrowed everything else.

Such a fantastic series. I read the entire thing over two weeks while I had nothing better to do and I am so glad I did.

Looks like you cross the road when the signal allows it?

I believe ideally these types of crossings allow pedestrians and cyclists to use all four crossings at the same time. Similar to crossings in Japan.

Just my guess with a quick glance.

Yeah most men usually round up to the next inch.

Thanks for the clarification. I totally forgot it isn't federally regulated.

There are also student wages which allow you to pay students under 18 even lower wages. Fun stuff!

It is sadly a part of canadian restaurant culture but not seen as mandatory. Canadian service workers are regulated to be paid at least minimum wage.

Companies mostly use tipping here as an excuse for the wages to not come out of their own pockets. If tips received equal or exceed minimum wage then they don't have to fork out the cash. If the employee only made $10hr in tips then the employer fills in the rest.

Because of this, I mostly refuse to tip. I'm not going to subsidise a restaurant paying their employees. If you can't afford to pay people you shouldn't be in business.

What do you use your keyboard/computer for and for how long if you don't mind my asking?

[–] Adm_Drummer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Have you watched any of SNW or are you deciding to pass judgement on a show based on... Nostalgia?

Its a really good show and the musical episode doesn't feel out of place in an episodic Star Trek show. I think you should give it a good try. The show is a lot of fun and is a return to classic episodic trek with great stories intertwined.

Well, yeah. I guess society always has. But you took my use of "modern society" hyperbole as like, today's modern society when I really meant modern society in the frame of reference of the people experiencing it at any given moment in history.

Checkmate, lemmy autist. Lol

Does he not speak of how organised and collectivist Bourgeois/Capitalists are seen as productive and good (because they're rich) yet an organised and collectivist proletariat is unproductive and bad (because it makes the rich less rich). It's fine for the rich to gather wealth and help eachother get rich but it's not okay for the common person to help those around them rise to equal footing.

Where organised and collectivist = Quirky and Free-spirited;

Productive = Cool;

Good = Fun;

Unproductive = Uncool;

Bad = Unfun.

Modern society labels personality quirks and non-conformity as Cool and Fun when the person displaying those traits has money and status.

But have a poor person display the same and they're weird, or odd, creepy or sad. Otherwise Uncool and Unfun.

Author's note: I spent way to long typical out this shitpost.

 

Pretty much the title. Like, get those handheld scanners and attach them to the carts. I scan items as I put them in, roll up to a "register" where the cart is weighed and verified by a cashier. I just hand over the cash then leave. Or even better, install load sensors in the cart.

Usually I like to pack my groceries into my boxes as I get them into the cart. Keeps things orderly and neat and I also don't buy more than I can carry home. But this means I have to unpack them to place on the belt then pack them all over again after paying. It would be kinda nice to just pay by the cart load.

 

My first ever fully painted miniature that didn't come free in a box with paints.

Paints used:

  1. 2:2:1 Black Templar:Lahmian Medium:Ultramarine Contrast (Citadel)

  2. Pure Red (Warpaints)

  3. Skeleton Bone (Warpaints)

  4. Greedy Gold (Warpaints)

  5. Cobalt Metal (Warpaints)

  6. Skeleton Horde (Citadel)

  7. Nuln Oil (Citadel)

I've got some places I definitely want to touch up. Places where my brush control was lacking for sure and I'm not happy with the tone on the belt. I find it mixes too much with the gold. I'll be adding some more layers to that as well as touching up any spots I missed with paint.

Overall I'm pretty happy with it. I'll be continuing to edge highlight with the cobalt Metal on any exposed armour and will attempt my first OSL from the eyes.

Funny thing is, this isn't even from my main army. I have 2500 points of Nids I need to prime and paint. I've just been having a bit of the winter blues so I forced myself to paint something to try and kickstart my engines. Building has been really therapeutic though and painting was even moreso.

Quick and dirty is this:

Running a new dual boot system. Windows boots fine and fast. Grub bootloader grinds and grunts to startup. Systemd checks point to Fedora waiting on the Win10 disk to boot (+45s!!!). Obviously, I don't need that drive to run, but Fedora/Bootloader thinks it should.

Disconnected the Win10 drive, Fedora booted in 3.6s.

So... Windows bootloader knows to ignore the Fedora OS drive and launches fine. Fedora Bootloader insists it try everything to get that Win10 drive running to my own detriment.

Is there a way to just ignore the Win10 drive the way Win10 ignores Fedora?

Been scratching my head on this one for a bit to be honest.

EDIT: Seems the issue was caused by RAID incompatibility from my internal backups for Win10. The RAID drives wrongly pointed the finger at the boot disk because the only thing I could really make sense of in diagnostics was the Win10 boot stalling for 45+ seconds. Once I disconnected all the drives and incrementally reconnected them I quickly realised it was the backup drives and not a boot disk conflict as I wrongly assumed.
