Dunno. But I have purchased the kind for music, back when I was in a band. Much better than the foam kind. They also attenuate sound evenly rather than the drill thinking of adults in a Charlie Brown Christmas special. Great for concerts.

Correct. I’ve purchased other items from Canada, and hockey sticks from other companies in the past. I’ve just never been charged for duties. With the listed free shipping, it seemed very odd.

I’ll look into it. I wouldn’t have paid, but my wife answered the door. COD seems like a scam that ended in the 90’s.

No sticker. No receipt included in the box. I’ve ordered sticks from the company before… Although those might have come from China. I have no idea. Seems like they should list that on the site though…

If you’re into something different, a weird Canadian comedy kind of thing: Shoresy It’s different, and I like different.

Landman would be good if it weren’t pushing so much fucking propaganda.

My kids love Gravity Falls, which as an adult I still love.

Someone else mentioned Silo, I agree.

My wife loves Great British Bakeoff. It’s an easy background show.

I also enjoyed Bad Monkey. It’s kind of a B- show, but easy to watch.

Um.

I tried MacOS on my work machine for a couple of years, because everyone says how easy is. It never clicked for me. It felt like the short cuts all needed another key. It was also unintuitive for me. Of course that could be because I grew up on Windows. Either way, I did not like it.

Linux is crazy easy to install and really cool that you can run a live USB so easily. It’s also secure, stable, can run on garbage hardware, and has a thousand cool flavors. Intuitive and easy for (Mint, Ubuntu, etc.) common stuff. An absolute minefield to install soooo many things- if they even can work. I just want to double click shit and then run it. Much of that is on Microsoft for making things a challenge on purpose.

Windows gets more intrusive and obnoxious every year, but it runs almost everything I need.

Never really tried iOS. I don’t like the idea of being locked down.

Android can do a lot of cool stuff, but gets more intrusive every year too. So I run that for now.

Some day I’ll probably try some other OS on my phone, but I have less patience and time every day.

At home, I run Linux on one machine, Windows on another, hoping to cut ties with Windows entirely, but probably won’t ever get there.

It was a good theory, but no luck. I’m perplexed on this one.

With the recent Microsoft garbage, I’m giving Linux another try. I’ve been running a laptop for a while, no issues. My main rig, however can’t read all of my um…?hard drives

A live USB of Mint 21 reads 2 of 5 drives fine. The rest are recognized from GParted, but can’t access them. It looks like NTFS-3G is installed.

I’ve duck duck go’d (which apparently is just Bing) for a solution, but haven’t succeeded. Long term, I can probably pick up another drive, copy, and reformat everything to something Linux friendly. For now, I just want access.

I’m lazy and burned out. I don’t want to use the terminal- which I did try. I just want to make a few clicks and have access to all of my files.

If it matters, the drives (roughly) show up as: 500 gb, 4 TB NTFS (readable) 3, 12, 16 TB unknown (not readable)

Windows says they’re all NTFS.

Is there an easy way to easily mount my drives?

Looks like that storm is going to fuck up that coast

The crazy thing is that you don’t need to cherry pick quotes or take them out of context to make him look like an idiot.

Listen to pretty much any interview or speech and he says something that is clearly idiotic, evil, or a blatant lie. Most likely all three… Repeatedly.

I get that Fox News is a hell of a drug, but just hearing this dipshit speak should shatter the illusion. The unwavering support is mind boggling.

Creepy. And I learned something. Reminds me of another comic strip that cracked me up. The gist:

God said to the insects “you may each pick three traits.” The millipede said, “I want legs!” The centipede agreed. God nodded. “And for your second trait?” The millipede smiled brightly and said “More legs!” The centipede request the same. God asked for their final request. “More legs!” The millipede shouted smiling even brighter The centipede gave a sinister grin and growled. “Teeth.”

Unfortunately lots of people do.

I wish any program that even remotely associates itself with being news has to identify that it’s entertainment and not to be taken as fact, at the start of every episode. Probably still wouldn’t help, but maybe …
