Hey, me too! I also lived in Moscow for a time and during that time went all around northern Idaho. I encountered plenty of your standard issue Idahoan dipshits but never any overt neo-nazis.

Trump is a horrible disease.

QED

I had a serious love/hate relationship with that game.

Semi Spoiler:Playing it while going through a midlife crisis where I finally had to accept the inevitability of death didn't help.

Same with my partner and me. We met through mutual friends when they were visiting our area as they lived literally thousands of miles away. We hit it off and hooked up that night. We agreed nothing would come of it - we even shook hands on it!

Four months later we were a couple. A year later we relocated and moved in together. Now we've been married for 12 years.

Worst one night stand ever.

I can't tell if you're joking or not. Unless a home is small, effectively airtight, filled with people, and the doors and windows are never opened, oxygen concentrations aren't going to fall enough to be impactful.

The Dinka of South Sudan, likely the tallest people in the world, average just over 180 cm, so I wouldn't call a 180 cm woman average, no.

Morticia Addams from the Addams Family comics fits the requirements of the post's hypothetical goth girl save for being estimated as about 5'11/180 cm, much taller than the listed 5'3/160 cm. The comics and Carolyn Jones's portrayal (dating myself harder than C-14 here) are also where a very young SoleInvictus first realized they have a thing for pale women in elegant dark clothing with eccentric personalities, hence her being my gateway goth girl.

It's Morticia Addams, my gateway goth girl.

Edit: oops, she's like 1.8 meters tall.

It's sampled from The RAH Band's "Message From the Stars" and sped up a fair bit without pitch correction. It was used like that for a bunch of The Boys memes and others on Tiktok a few years ago.

Personally, I think it's fire at 110-115% original speed.

Edit: The RAH Band's "Producer's Choice" album has it at about 110%. Great album, pick it up!

Same! Mine have a passthrough mode that pumps through what the microphone picks up but lets you select how much. I leave a little on because I feel weird if I can't hear what's happening in my surroundings.

The screenshot or the last 11 months?

Cheaper manufacturing costs with the added "benefit" of making it hard to repair so users buy another one if it breaks

 

I couldn't find a more appropriate place to post this. It's a bar in Reykjavik. Cool place, would recommend.

 

Seriously people, use the fucking fan. It clears away odors and covers up the sounds of your dropping a deuce. If you want to stew in your shit smell and revel in the music of your magical poop plops, do so in the comfort of your own home. If you're a guest and the bathroom has a fan, turn it on. We don't want to share.

Halp! Calibrating touchscreen on Panasonic CF-30

Hey all! I've been having an issue I can't figure out. Suddenly, I realized I'm in the heart of Linux users! I can ask here! I'm a total noob, so please be gentle.

I installed Xubuntu and got everything but the touchscreen working properly. The touchscreen works but the cursor is consistently off a bit, with the least error in the center of the screen and increasing as it moves to the sides. I've tried running xinput_calibrator but it doesn't help. I attempted to run libinput.calibrate-touchscreen but keep getting a "is a Wayland compositor running?" error message.

Any suggestions?
