And no cargo. There's not much room as drawn for anything else. The center of gravity with an engine up front would be fun. Maybe not impossible, the A310 couldn't fly empty and was a pain to get the CG back enough.

Logic, for religion. How would that work? I was just using their words to try and create some kind of jargon to make it work. Clearly it doesn't. Would love to know if the downvotes are for your stated reason, or from upset theists. They don't like to look too much behind the curtain.

If there was a god of any type, he sucks. But since there isn't a designer of any sort, the mess we see around us (good and bad) is completely understandable.

Heretic is typically used on a believer that migrates away from the official dogma, either a little or a lot. Fortunately I was never part of that.

Not the fish though. Seems that God was an evolutionist and agreed the transition to land was a bad idea.

The common denominator is people. Anonymity gives some people the feeling they can say things they would never say face to face, which isn't all bad, but without filters discussions can be toxic. Been true since the early days, will always be true when there are few consequences for speaking without caring how it comes across.

I'm curious why you see niche communities as a bad thing. They were the shining part of Reddit, and many here complain that because of the decentralization it's harder to get them to grow. Maybe that's what you mean, they can't get big? That's not really a bad thing, small means more accountability potential.

Depends on where it is, how it's cut, and the size mainly. The biggest issue I see with a corner lot is you have two sides of your property that aren't really yours, since the street takes up some of the "right-of-way", aka ditches and such. I could be wrong, but I always thought that and other reasons make the value of a corner lower, so the cost as well.

Yeah, maybe you were right. Good lord.

Yes, a reference to someone being amazed of a person being voted in not qualified as President is totally out of context in this thread.

You would think as long as you've been on Lemmy, and probably on other places before that, you'd pick up on a common sarcasm trope like my first line, especially when it's ended as I did. But I realize Poe's Law has been dead for a good decade now, so the assumption is always that the person is being real. Never mind the many words later that seem to point otherwise. Right, you ignored them, as attacking on an assumption is always a great move. (that's sarcasm, btw)

His name seems to always be connected to the wrong side of bettering society. Maybe that should be addressed next election. So wish we had a universal fast track way from local to President to call for no confidence when they repeatedly work against the public good.

I'm sorry that you missed many levels of understanding my original post. I wish you could have just asked for clarification instead of the diatribe of anger. Might have made you appreciate the meaning. You seem to have some issues understanding others in this message thread too. Maybe step back a second and take a breath.

Not for the first replies. But if they double down, then sure, let them have their "victory". The chain of messages tells the real story.

 

Made something a few months ago and put it on Amazon. Have different variations of covers and two sizes (50 and 100 pages, for 25 and 50 observation nights). Looking for options on the concept, contents (you can view the interior pages for their layout on the Amazon page).

Wondering if it's too flashy and a simple cover might work better, or if it's just because it's Amazon and there's too much competition. Or of course if it's just not what's being looked for.

 

Running Ubuntu 22.04:

I've tried searching for a solution to this, but there's way too many false positives. I know you can enable/disable using a single instance in two places, but that's not my issue. If I open a video the first time, VLC works fine. If I have both the "only use one instance" off, I can click on other videos and they run too. But if I have any combination of those boxes checked I can only play the first video, and to play a new video I have to manually close the VLC player.

What I want to happen is to have one player spawn, but any new video will run in that player, overriding the existing video. Is that just not possible? I don't want to have to close the window every time I run something new, and I don't want to have to go back and lose a whole bunch of separate VLC instances when I'm done.

Update: I found the solution, and I should have tried it first before posting. Oh well, at least I didn't leave anyone who might find this hanging like a DenverCoder9.

Being Ubuntu, VLC was installed via Snap (I can't recall if I did it or it's default). I suppose I should look into the de-Snap process I've seen mentioned before, as I've also had a few non-crash errors since running Ubuntu where snap was the source.

So the solution was to install the Debian version in terminal, not Snap. It works like I expect and wanted, and I can run video after video and it uses the same window.

 

I have an older robot vacuum that has finally shown some age in its battery. The charger will charge for about 15 mins and then gets an error, but it's enough to do a decent vacuuming of the room if I charge then vacuum, then repeat once more. I can't leave it on the charger now due to the error repeating, so basically I run it dead until the next time.

So my question is, can I continue doing this since it works well enough, or is there potential problems/danger with the battery being at less capacity? I could buy a new battery, they aren't terrible in price, but if it works and is safe, why not continue what I'm doing until it completely gives out?
