On the Trans-Siberian they put trains on a ferry over Lake Baikal, but that wasn't great because sometimes even the ice-breaking ferries couldn't deal with the thick ice during the winter. So eventually they blasted tunnels through the mountains to go around the lake.

Just for information, the "d" at the end of unix daemons is traditionally not capitalized, e.g. crond, inetd, httpd and so on. It looks odd with a capital letter.

They just kicked out a pro-Palestine activist, Ramsis Kilani:

The Landesschiedskommission is thus following the logic of unconditional support for the State of Israel, in accordance with German Staatsräson, which it has put above the right to existence of and equal rights for Palestinian people.

The current development of the mass killing of the Palestinian civil population, which has also been confirmed by Amnesty International as a genocide, was given no import in the judgement of the context of my statements.

So Die Linke thinks Israel has a right to exist, and that armed resistance against a genocide is illegitimate, and anybody who disagrees with that gets thrown out.

So "Red Hitler" isn't too far off here.

Anything used for internal Android usage will be formatted completely differently from the standard FAT32/exFAT, which is most likely what's going on. It it wasn't detecting the SD card it probably wouldn't ask you to format it.

A reader from 2011 is almost certainly SDHC (spec from 2006) compatible and likely also SDXC (2009) compatible. Also I vaguely remember something about being able use bigger cards on older readers in an out-of-spec sort of way some situations.

Edit: Also looked this up SDHC readers can read/write SDXC cards, only slower it seems. And I think what I remember was that 4 GB cards worked in many devices that only supported OG SD standard, which was only 2 GB.

I hate it. Still the best game of this type probably.

It's 404 now. Used to be this there: https://archive.is/1yPRU

This was made with chatgpt or something.

I've been playing Dark Souls for a couple weeks on and off. First time playing any game like that. Took me a long time to get any idea what I should be doing, but I'm getting the hang of it. I think I'm in the mid game now.

That game is obtuse af. It gives off a vibe similar to a difficult, shoddy, cryptic retro game sometimes, but a lot of it is obviously designed with excellent attention to detail. So is all of that intentional? I don't know. Even if all or most of it is intentional, I'm not sure it's actually good design.

I do like it though.

Any way to get around the paywall?

I feel like contributing to this megathread by updating you all on frankly inconsequential and stupid internal German politics, and it makes me feel dirty. But here it goes anyway.

The FDP (liberal party) blew up the socdem-green-liberal coalition (Ampel, meaning traffic-light) and the media got hold of their internal powerpoints of how they planned this for months and referred to it as "d-day" and the final stage as an "open field battle" and now they're outraged because of civility and bad faith or something.

So this might backfire on the FDP which I hope it does, but also none of this makes a lick of difference since all involved are neoliberal freaks and genocidal maniacs. It's just lib infighting.

Those dutch ovens are usually cast iron, so much thicker and cast (poured into a sand mold) and not pressed into shape from a sheet of steel, like the pots I'm talking about. Both get enameled with some kind of glass. I think that process is similar to glazing clay/porcelain, but there's no clay involved here.

That's encouraging, thanks. Any opinion on putting this on a 2100 W induction plate (with water in it)?

Companies like RedHat buy Thinkpads (the professional ones like T-series and whatever the others are called, not the cheapo consumer ones) to run Linux on. So they're better supported because Linux devs also use them. And you can get used ones cheap because lots of companies buy these and sell them second hand after a couple of years. They're sturdy and usually in decent shape still.

Battery life is what it is. I'd get something with integrated graphics, that'll be better for battery life and out of the box support.

Do check on the internet if other people are having problems with the specific laptop you consider buying. There's always a chance that something is broken with any specific model.

A spokesperson for the German regime said they will only definitely decide whether or not they would arrest Netanyahu or Gallant if/when they plan on coming to Germany, but he said arresting them would be "hard to imagine". ^tagesschau

So they have definitely decided they will not arrest Netanyahu but don't want come right out and say that.

Don't know if anything around here qualifies as pie. Is strudel pie?

I like them both.

The newer one (being wider and more symmetrical at the bottom) has a pleasing sort of triangle going on, like an arrow pointing towards the star. The old one just kinda has a star above it.

I kinda like the wider sickle thing on the old one on its own though.

Also it looks like the new one is a bit brighter. The darker tone makes it seem more badass somehow, but badassery is not really the main point you'd want to convey.

Wouldn't the Sandy Hook families get (most) of the money from the Infowars auction? So they're effectively paying themselves I think. Would be interesting who's paying what amount of money and what the ownership structure is now.

Musk is the most annoying person on the planet. Trump will not be able to resist making him fuck off, no matter how useful he is with the money and the twitter.

Looks okay, I just saw Kamala defeat Pork Officer on the way up Trump tower by giving him funding.

Mmmh Quarkstrudel

Libs telling us how they really feel. And what they feel is morally superior and genocidal hate against the poors, Muslims, Latinos, etc. Many of the comments don't even pretend about making a distinction between Trump voters and all these groups. They all apparently deserve what's coming to them, for being part of some group that maybe voted for Trump more than previously, but less than the (white) middle class a number of these assholes admit to being part of.
