Maybe your butt got hairy?

You'd think from their perspective a dude with a big beard having a license that says
Gender: F
Would be the "fraud" but no, that's what they want. It'll be a lot easier for trans people to get away with crimes I imagine if cops are out looking for someone expressing the wrong gender.
They also say very specifically "biological gender assigned at birth" so if they make a clerical mistake or overlook something then what? It says very clearly "as assigned at birth" with no provisions to change that. Doctors don't tend to examine newborns' DNA to determine which chromosomes they do or do not have. I suspect they haven't thought this through.
I'm pretty sure I'm getting trolled ![]()

What was it, some rare tiling WM? Based af.

When we construct the hexagon we're going to have the same number of bathrooms as the pentagon, but instead of being for segregation it will be because we eat so many
and poop on company time.

Maybe I'm just old but I feel my respect for people drop when I see them running windows 11 unironically, with cortana enabled and the start menu in the default position in the middle of the taskbar. ![]()

Now I gotta reroll a new character. DM abuse! Railroading!

I'd like to introduce my new DnD dwarf. He's called Thrombosis because he gets deep in your (ore) veins. (and gets stuck I guess)

That's great! I hope it treats you well, and congrats on freeing yourself from the corporate OS bullshit ![]()

It's probably the USB, but clearly it's working at least in the first few sectors or it wouldn't be able to live boot at all. Here's a hacky solution I've gotten away with once or twice if you only have the one usb drive at hand:
Of course if you have another problem while installing you might be stuck until you can get another drive and potentially another computer to write to it.
Some BIOSes will let you boot from an SD card of you have one of those floating around.

Reminds me of the Tom and Jerry bit. He hits the dog with a newspaper, then retreats to safety juuuuuuuuust past the line.
The dog is the troublemaker here you see, because he's being loud and reacting to abuse ![]()

I can and that works, but I have to first start a cycle (if there is any standing water in the basin when the cycle starts it starts a drain cycle), pause that cycle (the lid locks when the cycle is started, before it even starts agitating) dump the water in and unpause. I don't know whether the water pressure will be high enough to run normally until I try and fail once either.
But if I happen to add too much water then it also drains.
I have to do all this mental and physical work when changing a single number on the computer inside the machine would make it work perfectly.

I don't want any "smart" in my appliances at all ![]()
They're so helplessly fragile the second conditions are outside their expected norm.
I have this washing machine that drains if it can't fill within 5 minutes, refuses to fill and drains within 10 minutes if the lid is left open. I have low water pressure sometimes and that literally isn't changing for less than $10,000 to dig a new well.
I just want to bypass this logic that actively makes my appliance unusable sometimes, but the black box logic board makes that functionally impossible. If it was open source and accessible or anything other than a black box computer chip I could fix it in an hour I'm sure. I've programmed things at least as complex as to control a wash cycle on an arduino. I could change the wait time to an hour or whatever, or more likely watch a step by step on youtube where someone else already figured it out for me.
$3000 for this piece of shit with nothing physically wrong with it. I can't even borax strip my work clothes in it because there's no "soak" allowed, all because of some absolutely changeable 1s and 0s that I'm simply not permitted to change on the logic board.
Also once it decides to drain it doesn't stop until it's fully drained. Doesn't matter if you've unplugged it or anything else. This "high efficiency" washer is on the whole being very inefficient since it keeps dumping gallons and gallons of perfectly good hot water and detergent straight down the drain every day. I'm seriously getting an ancient wringer washer next time one shows up on craigslist, don't try to stop me.
Someone needs to start making some open source logic board replacements soon. I'm sure you could get pretty close to a one size fits all for most appliances. Then people could make their own "smart" software features for it that would actually work, and be opt-in.

The best thing about this style of moderation is most of the chud dorks in your ranks will happily announce themselves as such as soon as you implement it and the signal to noise ratio goes up drastically. It's my favorite thing about hexbear.

Sometimes it's painfully obvious sure, but how do you tell most of the time? AI is so reddit-voiced already.

"Grime's dumbass" makes it sound like she has possession of a person who is a dumbass, like how lords used to have a weird hermit who lived on their land so they can laugh about them with their aristo buddies, when in fact she herself is the dumbass.
A bear without edges, angles, or lines? Impossible.
I have that every time I'm on an airplane for some reason. Something to do with holding it in for hours + politely sitting perfectly still and maybe something to do with the pressure changes?
