They rarely get hurricane direct hits, but deal with the remnants of major hurricanes a lot. Not many homes are storm proofed like you'd see in Florida though. Clearly their city storm sewer infrastructures are not equipped to deal with the combination of a high annual rainfall followed by a deluge like this.

Edit: I want to clarify that Eastern NC is more prepared than out west, the eastern half sees stronger hurricane remnants more often than out west, where they still get them but they're weaker from the mountains. Not this time, apparently.

win + x brings up a useful alternate start menu

Did not expect to learn this today.

Or any day really but definitely not today

So much this. The whole point is to annihilate entire sectors of decent paying jobs. That's why "AI" is garnering all this investment. Exactly like Theranos. Doesn't matter if their product worked, or made any goddamned sense at all really. Just the very idea of nuking shitloads of salaries is enough to get the investor class to dump billions on the slightest chance of success.

Can't say if this particular one is real but this definitely tracks in the USA. I've worked for companies that have mandatory meetings where anti union consultants will play out this kind of propaganda in real time.

Yeah 'etc' of course stands for 'et cetera' which implies that's all just a bunch of extra shit, right?

There aren't new electoral votes because that would require expanding Congress via more House seats or new States. But the existing votes get shifted around after every census.

Second for Rescuezilla, it's a Clonezilla front end with sane defaults you'd probably pick anyways.

That is an iterative backup of a file within a file system. It is not the same as periodic screenshots.

I'm out of the loop on this, do people have a problem with squarespace?

Lmao fucking amateur

No not even amateur, an amateur would at least have his wife buy a car wash or some bullshit

He has a right to a timely trial, just not too timely, ok?

Dust and vacuum, often. And with a bagged HEPA sealed vacuum. Vacuum wars YouTube channel does good recommendations at all price points.

Hasn't every form of social media done this though? It's on the users to collectively shape the culture of a site as a whole. For example Hacker news manages to maintain its ultra nerdy niche through the years, because the users keep it that way.

For years I've had two separate Reddit bookmarks on my toolbar, one for r/all and one for my homepage, because for me those were two completely different experiences. Reddit has both shitposting galore, and also (had?) r/AskHistorians. It managed to be both, and Lemmy can do that too.

It literally looks like a pop-up ad straight out of 1999. If I saw this shit on a computer back then I'd be like "ope, that's a virus."

Universal Soldier?

Absolutely love the miyoo mini plus, very interested in this one.

With every update Windows becomes more annoying.

With every update Linux Mint (and every distro) becomes more refined.

There are still gaps; HDR isn't really there yet, never mind Dolby Vision... but if all you want is a PC that acts right and doesn't piss you off with ads and upsells... honestly, a default Linux Mint install is at least as good as Windows at this point.

Beats made the headphone market absolutely explode. I think the fact that the early ones really kinda sucked brought a priceless amount of free exposure to AKG, Grado, Sennheiser, etc.

Definitely not. There's Teddy Roosevelt National Park, which is gorgeous, but it doesn't attract nearly as much tourism of all the stuff that's four hours south...

South Dakota has Badlands National Park, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Wind Cave National Park, Jewel Cave National Monument, Minuteman Missile National Historic Site, Mammoth Site, Black Hills National Forest, Deadwood and Sturgis, a couple good private zoos in Reptile Gardens and Bear Country. All of that stuff is within a 1 hour drive of Rapid City, which has plenty of good hotels and restaurants and just generally what you'd expect from a modern midsize city. Rapid City is honestly worth the trip for anyone, but If you're a real outdoorsy person then you could easily enjoy a month out there. Oh and then not that far away (relatively speaking - 2 hours drive) is Devil's Tower in Wyoming.

So no... NoDak is comparatively sparse. And they probably like it that way.

Huh, didn't know that they still have a state run bank up there.

I hope so, but oh I fuckin doubt it.

Just finished playing through Zelda lttp on my miyoo mini+

And they get some "bedroom community" money from people working in and around Boston that don't want to live in Mass. Not an unreasonable commute down i93 or i95, especially if your job is in the north burbs.

Pretty sure none of that applies in North Dakota. Maybe there's folks working in Fargo or Grand Forks that prefer Minnesota? But it's not many.

I didn't downvote but I'm thinking of some extension configurations as things I don't think have export/import support

I use SpaceSniffer for Windows but it uses the rectangular view not the pie. I do like the pie.
