I never remember which one is natural and which one is reverse. When I use a mouse or a trackpad, I am moving the scroll bar. When I am using a touch screen, I am moving the content.

This makes me very happy for some reason. It is like a huge pat in the back for a community that often is under appreciated. The open source community is the last bastion that stands against the rapid capitalism that is spreading through the world. We need more such devs who appreciate this sort of feedback and more new members of the community to take up the torch and continue the good fight.

How to determine the elastic tensor without any FEA tools?

"Flea market of federated social media" is an awesome description!

'Standing on water' implies that he would move if the water moves. If he is staying still in one spot then it means he is standing on space. 🤔

Not sure what "grow" means here exactly. But yes, the earth's mass will increase.

This is a leading question. While I appreciate the sentiment, the question makes multiple assumptions and provides no reference/evidence. The question just wants to polarize the readers.

Why is installing a VPN considered bad? Is it because it is done without user consent? I don't understand if there is any malicious intent.

How do I get duckduckgo to block tracking attempts?

I really like these metrics that some posters have started adding! It helps to quickly determine what is the credibility of the source!

Okay I think I have it. I just installed the duckduckgo app and enabled the tracking protection in settings. And right now I am shocked. The amount of tracking attempts in the last 30 minutes has been mind boggling. 300 attempts and counting! Is this normal?

Totally agree! I When people mention Andor I immediately think of the monologues rather than any of the action sequences. I think that tells how good the writing was.

I understand that we are speed running earth's demise but can we please pick up the pace. I have a report deadline on Monday but I am in no mood to do it.

Lol you are absolutely right! Some Indians have a major holiday coming up in 15 days. It is based on rice harvest. Its a whole shebang for 3 days.

Also please refresh my memory on how to find the process ID

I have been trying to get into 3D printing! It sounds so cool! Can't you connect your printers to the cloud so that other can print using your setup? Maybe you can charge for their usage based on your costs.

I do this all the time even when I am awake. I try to look at myself from a camera above me.

Good catch! I think it is too long for him

That's an interesting question though. How much WMDs do we need to destroy earth. Like really fuck it up. I suppose if we concentrate enough explosions on one side of the earth we may be able to alter the mass of the earth. This might change its path temporarily this leading to collision with either the moon or other planets.

You I like you

No no I was making a joke. It was just in bad taste.

OP I highly recommend following these steps to create your custom filter to clear your inbox! There are also plugins that you can use to do this. It is not required but maybe less intimidating to use.

When the user deletes their account, does it show up as a deleted account in the archive or does it still show their username?

I support this argument. When comparing between FW and Mac, FW comes out on top for me. But do I need a high powered laptop? How often will I use it to its full ability? Most universities provide clusters to run your processing intensive jobs. If you are forced to use your own resources, using cloud resources is often cheaper than buying an expensive specced out laptop. I think the only justifications for buying a specced out laptop is when you are actively doing CAD, video editing or gaming. For everything else, a typical 500 USD laptop should be sufficient.

Is this expectation unreasonable? If consumers look for a monopolized service then won't that service attempt to exploit the users? Just thinking out loud. I don't know what the solution is.

I don't understand. The penguin is wearing some kind of goggles?

Oh got it. I can attempt to fix it! I think I just have to scale the logo and change the lighting a bit.

What is the role of the corrugated paper? What happens if standard wicks are used?

I have been using ungoogled chromium for a while. I don't exactly get what you mean by torture.

This should be the top comment. Corporations should not be allowed to play the game of 'let's see how long we can get away with this'.

That is interesting. Who do you suppose Theoden and Saruman are, in this context?

Yeah I understand. I got upset with few comments that were praising Sri Lanka. I just wanted to remind people that Sri Lanka has its skeletons too. Hidden away in mass graves.

I see how others make a point about other streaming services. But it is different with YouTube. Firstly the content is from peers not from production houses. Secondly it feels like an AH move to start out as a free service and then start charging after you know you have enough people hooked ( this is how drug dealers work too). It is not illegal but just feels immoral (not the drugs, just yt)

After all Sri Lanka does have previous experience with committing genocide and getting away with it.

You can root for the rebels all you want. But Palpatine lived a long life and controlled most of the galaxy with his empire. I am rooting for the empire.
