Defining characteristics of a cult: inside information and ritual, seperation from others and non believers, words and speech that are internalized and often only understood by cult members, heiradchy - often to one person or small group, loss of self, loss of independence, removal of physical items or required clothing, and generally there is an eventuality that those in power will begin abuse that is often sexual.

Now, the actual beliefs have nothing to do with it. Where a religion ranks in the scheme is debatable.

Thanks for the reply. Indidntnknow about the haptoc part. That is interesting.

What is awesome about it?

Have you tried trail sense? Comes with a compass but does a lot more.

I added it with Fdroid but it is in the playstore.

The last article I read said 5 out of the 6 people in a group that were deported were legally in the US, had their paperwork, and valid work permits.

STFU about difficult and dangerous.

Instagram is in the same category and are the same company, lets not forget. Yet so many people can say out of one side of their mouth “leave facebook!” but then say no not instagram too!

I agree dishwashers are efficient. It also sounds like you are talking about a home model. A commercial model in a kitchen is about 2 to 4 times more efficient. We are talking like maybe a gallon per 100 dishes kind of thing.

Out to eat… Bag and wrapper? Straws and cups? That’s not going out to eat.

Presidential sharpie is coming out to fix it.

Crazy how the prices are so varied. Just as good as today in 1985 was $25 an eighth if you knew where to look on the west coast. There already were hybrid and medical experimental strains out for sale.

Fast forward to today and you can settle in on top shelf for anywhere from $5 to $20 an eighth. Anymore than that is crazy expensive.

But of course things that are easy to grow and were illegal before can’t really be compared to other products can they?

Got any stats on the battery thing? Plasma is fairly low resources, my laptop is equal if bit better than gnome in that regard. Certainly better than windows.

I am not using Mint though.

One laptop Arch the other Fedora.

For the first time strangers were meeting other than face to face, and without any of the social context clues that would have previously guided us in person.

The suggest this was the 90’s? More like the 80’s. BBS were doing this for quite a while.

Yeah, this will work for a while but I think the days have gotta be numbered.

Best long term solution? Leave YouTube.

I guess in the meantime: if on PC grab the freetube flatpak. Really decent client, anonymous and create subscriptions without actually subscribing.

I get your point, but I gotta say: I do want to buy my ketchup in a glass bottle. And I do, mostly because the ketchup is 10 times better than then generic crap that is Heinz or whatever major name.

But I don’t mind shaking the bottle, it’s not hard.

Most things I don’t want plastics for, and in the case of viscous fluids, why not jars?

It would be nice to drop off the jar with the local mustard maker and get a fresh one. Standardizing on glass sizes would help a lot, but then of course we gave water issues for cleaning all of them.

Why is it hard? It used to be real easy to run in a VM. I am running windows 11 in docker and it was easy, maybe consider that?

Never heard of glance. It’s an ai shopping tool? I couldn’t make sense of it, but I didn’t spend much time either.

RTD episodes look like his, the last few in particular.

I said this felt like Doctor Who then a turn to more of a Torchwood (both the silly and the 2 movies), and then the worse thing happened and it somehow became Sara Jane adventures. Nothing wrong with Sara Jane adventures, but they are even more for kids than Doctor Who. Look a Skysled! Bone Monsters! Wheelchairs burning rubber!

While I enjoyed some of the dialog a lot, and even some of the campy action, that second part was… difficult. When it looked wrapped up and there was still something like 20 minutes left, I was hopeful. There were several options and possibilities that could have made this incredible.

Sadly, we got what we saw. And we don’t have a renewal date, so when next? I ever?

I also would use Clonezilla and make a backup of your current drive. Easy to do, and gives you a backup you can restore anywhere including a virtual machine, meaning you can have windows back inside of Linux if you forgot anything.

Or you can restore the drive if you accidentally corrupt it.

Just to add insult to injury: once she starts working, even if she never returns to the US… She will be required to file taxes.

So assuming you are traveling, what do you bring with you if it isn’t a mobile streaming device, a laptop, or a mobile device that you are going to stream to?
