If you have cool nights, setup fans up at night to bring the house down to a lower temperature. Close everything up in the morning when the outside temp starts rising above your inside temp. If your place is insulated reasonably and there's no excessive sun from windows, it will stay cool for the day.

Protip: Setup the fans in all rooms on one side of a chokepoint in your house/apartment (stairwell/hallway) to exhaust, to encourage airflow. Open up all the windows on the other side for intake. It'll also help reduce pockets of hot air left over from the day before.

Also, some of these Live Nation places are literally just fucking Old People places, like the local Elk’s Lodge. Nobody is doing wild concerts at the fucking Elk’s Lodge.

Some of the best shows I've ever been to were at an Elks or VFW. Often they're the only venues available in suburban and rural areas. And they're usually priced reasonably.

And what would this amendment say?

As if it’s just a given that online purchases (the increasing majority of all economic activity) is subject purely to a ToS and not the laws and protections granted to us by the government.

What? Of course they're still subject to laws. There's so many laws and precedent based around banking that it requires specialized lawyers.

As a very long time Arch user I wouldn't say "easy" like everyone else seems to. I absolutely would not suggest it for a first distro for someone, which is what I would classify as the "easy" level.

But if you're comfortable with using Linux, the terminal, and being able to follow written documentation you'll be able to do it just fine maybe with a little frustration the first time. If you're installing to a laptop, make sure to look up your model on the wiki first.

Did you get high, because I'm high right now.

Finally get involved in politics?

They look questionable.

Would really like to meet the person that's undecided between Trump and Biden. I could understand someone staying home long before someone choosing between the two.

Mix of Detroit and Ohio, maybe. Looks like you got a jungle there, bro.

That's Michigan? My mental picture of Michigan may be wrong.

Never!

Of course we want affordable health care and housing, but I'd absolutely kill for a Bill Clinton or Bush Sr over a Trump any day.

SELinux was a product of the NSA. Maybe the best thing that agency has done.

"The roundtable setup featured Representative (and Trump V.P. wannabe) Byron Donalds, former Trump Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson, and Representative Wesley Hunt in attendance," she writes. "The seats were positioned in a semi-arc facing a gaggle of cameras and sea of white people, and everyone looks abundantly unenthused to be there."

Where are the photos, man!?!

“Ms Hilton, I first read about your story in Vanity Fair. I don’t usually read that magazine, my wife does. She told me, ‘You have to read this story. You won’t believe what happened to her,’” Representative Mike Kelly said. “You telling what happened to you...is absolutely incredible and opens up a whole new vision for the rest of us.”

Nice save there, Mike.

Well, if it's going to be the government of celebrity, maybe we can at least get some good done with it.

This is what these fuckers have been working on for so many years. Finally came to a head in a clear-cut partisan line vote.

In ruling for the former mayor, the justices drew a distinction between bribery, which requires proof of an illegal deal, and a gratuity that can be a gift or a reward for a past favor. They said the officials may be charged and prosecuted for bribery, but not for taking money for past favors if there was no proof of an illicit deal.

huh?

[Ketanji Brown Jackson] said the mayor’s “absurd and atextual reading of the statute is one only today’s court could love.”

lol, GOTTEM

Prosecutors said James Snyder was heavily in debt and behind in paying his taxes when he became mayor of Portage, Ind., in 2012. The city needed new garbage trucks, and the mayor took over the required public bidding. He spoke regularly with two brothers who owned a local truck dealership that also had financial problems, and he designed the bidding process so that only their two new trucks would meet all of its standards. He also arranged to have the city buy an older truck that was on their lot.

Two weeks after the contracts were final, the mayor went to see the two brothers and told them of his financial troubles. They agreed to write him a check for $13,000 for undefined consulting services.

Seriously, how is that not outright corruption?

Yes, please!

He had plenty of training. He PIT the dude's car, and shot him in the forehead 1.6 seconds after stopping his car. Lots of training went into that.

It's just the wrong training.

So many exploding hearts.

They went bankrupt in 2018 and are but a shell of what they once were.

BAT is trash but I'd love to see more quick crypto donation options.

I think it's equally true for product companies. Do you know how hard it is to get a company to prioritize bug fixing over feature work? Shy of a user revolt, or a friend of the CEO reporting an issue, bugs are almost always second priority or lower.

Are you saying the chemical plant provides the treatment or that one plant is somehow responsible for polluting 75% of American drinking water?

On new install without logging in a Microsoft account?

Not in my experience. Unless maybe if it causes loss of funds or other security issues, which usually get a fair response.

Pog NFTs exist! Issued by the actual company. Glorious.

We celebrated the 80th anniversary of D-Day. It was a failure. It was the 'unnecessary war, ' described by Winston Churchill. We had a dozen chances to stop Hitler. It's not about NATO. It's not about American weapons in Ukraine. It's about a megalomaniac wanting to create the Russian Empire by force of arms.

Bad choice of words, but this reads to me like we should have acted earlier with Hitler. And we should now with Putin as well.

Was reading Hackaday's source article on BBC and came across this:

That did not deter the duo who continued hacking with Lapsus$ and successfully breached Nvidia, a Silicon Valley tech giant that makes chips for artificial intelligence chatbots, in February 2022.

That's a funny as fuck way of classifying Nvidia.

It's a privilege escalation.

The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2024-1086 and carrying a severity rating of 7.8 out of a possible 10, allows people who have already gained a foothold inside an affected system to escalate their system privileges. It’s the result of a use-after-free error, a class of vulnerability that occurs in software written in the C and C++ languages when a process continues to access a memory location after it has been freed or deallocated. Use-after-free vulnerabilities can result in remote code or privilege escalation.

The article is largely good quality but what even is this:

“We couldn’t destroy the Taliban, but office work destroyed the Taliban,” said one Tiktoker, reviewing articles and quotes from the report.

It doesn't even name the person. Just cherry picked some random quip from social media and pasted it into the body.

Don't worry, we'll just get even larger trucks that nobody actually wants to bypass these standards.

That's a very positive way of putting it. I appreciate it.

Using rm -rf scares me. Is there a reasonable way to delete git repos without it?

I don't know what to tell you, that's the command you need to use.

If you're that worried you're going to nuke important stuff, make backups, and don't use sudo for user files.

He hopes in the course of the lawsuit to better understand how county police decide when to deploy a SWAT team.

“They probably have some kind of analytic multifactor test and they will fight tooth and nail to have that test not be exposed,” Schock says.

There's no shot the decision to send SWAT is anything other than if they feel like cosplaying that day.
