I sold my 10,000 spoons to buy a knife.

You have a record, get out

This I never fully understood. Isn't the point of prison/community service orders etc. for the person to be punished for the crime or repay their debt to society? In which case, after the punishment has been carried out why continue to punish them further? They've done their time and hopefully learned a lesson. I understand background checks as a form of checking a person's character for certain sensitive roles, but for everything?? Nah, that makes no sense.

There is absolutely no reason to ban Mein Kampf. If anything is truly shows how unhinged he was and perhaps gives the reader an insight into what to look for before voting for another fascist dictator..... Well, maybe next time.

Surprised not to see Generation Kill here. I'll watch it twice a year. Along with, as mentioned by many above, Seinfeld, Firefly, Community (preferably early seasons) etc.

Aside from how terrible that article is, it clearly states a visa application may not be granted if the applicant has a prior drug CONVICTION. Which Harry doesn't. So what's the problem? This is just more bullshit hot air generated by the Heritage Foundation, get a life losers.

Is it meteoric?

Australia has the Bureau of Meteorology. NOAA is United Statesian.

The more I read comments like this, the more I realise nobody really paid attention in the lead up to the election. They even had artists impressions of beach front development for crying out loud.

But not if they're the ones doing the illegal stuff, apparently.

I am absolutely sick of Windoze and I'm trying out Linux Mint for my work computer. This has been a bit of a learning curve but I have almost everything working the way I want... but the sticking point is my company uses Dropbox for all file sharing and repository.

I first naively installed Dropbox from the Software Installer but that tried to sync the entire company (many TBs) to my computer. It seems there is no Smart Sync option.

Next I installed Rclone and logged in using that, but it seems to be completely command line based which is absolutely useless. There is no way I'm going to sit here typing out full directory paths and file names every time I need to access something (which is always). I then installed RcloneBrowser, and later the Rclone web GUI, however they BOTH skip the parent folder and put me directly one level down, which is also useless.

Ok I know what you're thinking. I need to create an alias, right? So I did, and my config file now has the lines

[DB]

type = alias

remote = Dropbox:/

but this makes no difference in the web GUI or RcloneBrowser! The frustrating thing is if I use the command line the results I get are:

rclone lsd Dropbox:/ parent directory. Good so far...

rclone lsd DB: parent directory! Yay! So why doesn't this work on either GUI???

If I can't get this to work then I will have to get rid of Linux unfortunately. I can see in many forums I am not the first to have massive issues with Dropbox, but it seems the alias approach works for everyone else. What am I doing wrong?
