This just reminded me of a time I was living in England in the late 90s, and a group of friends and I had found an injured grey squirrel. We called animal control for help, and their response was that if we decide to officially report it, they would have to put it down, because it’s considered an invasive species. We ended up just letting the squirrel go, sorry England, for making your map just a tiny bit more grey.

I will typically use the terms asynchronous and parallel when discussing the concepts, but I hadn’t thought about using multitasking until I saw that comment. I mean, even C# calls them “tasks”.

A comment on the YouTube video makes a good point that we already have a better word for the concept of dealing with multiple things at once: multitasking. Using a word that literally means “things happening at the same time” just adds to the confusion, since people already have a difficult time understanding the distinction between multitasking and concurrency.

Two snapshots taken from the same subvolume would not be incremental. For them to be incremental, a snapshot would need to be copied from another snapshot. From that article I linked, it looks like you have you use the send command to actually make an incremental snapshot.

I was something like $250 over the annual income threshold to qualify for Medicaid for my first son’s birth. My employer was “kind” enough to allow me unpaid time off long enough to get me under the threshold, but having an “all or nothing” threshold just to qualify was a little frustrating.

If your snapshots are taken from your main subvolume, then they shouldn’t be incremental backups, so it should be safe to delete ones from the middle. It does look like incremental backups are possible, though I’ve never used that feature: https://fedoramagazine.org/btrfs-snapshots-backup-incremental/

Just toss your pants and underwear in the nearest trash bin. Problem solved!

Does your lemmy app let you zoom images at all? Or is it still too small when you do?

I’m clumsy enough that I’ve got a “paper cut” from aluminum foil while preparing dinner.

You will, comrade.

I considered editing my post to say the vast majority instead of everybody, but I was hoping you weren’t going to be that pedantic. It was very clear that 13 years ago, reddit was already having the argument because it was so pervasive that all the purists were upset about it.

I just set up Steam Family last night, and it specifically shows my private games under not shared.

Post from 13 years ago, basically agreeing that everyone ignored the “rule” and used upvote/downvote as glorified agree/disagree buttons:

I’ve tried using SFC multiple times and had it work zero times. One time after SFC failed to find anything wrong, I ended up fixing the machine by replacing the system file with a copy from a working machine.

I let one of mine expire a few years ago. Finally decided I wanted to try to register it again, but a squatter is now sitting on it asking for something like $10k $3.6k.

Edit: just double-checked, they lowered the price to only $3595!

If OP was satirizing Peterson, it was a little too perfect.

For someone who likes to think of himself as a modern Nikola Tesla, he acts much more like Edison.

But, don’t you see? His idea works in a vacuum!

I mean, it basically is a poop knife that can reach further down inside the toilet.

Yeah, I’ve had to help a neighbor with that 1 time out of 100. The plunger was just causing the water to slam against the turd that had created a perfect seal and splash back outside the toilet. It probably took at least 5 uses with the auger to finally clear out enough crap to finally break it apart enough to let it flush.

Fortunately, the second time I helped them with a nearly identical situation, the plunger worked. But it still took a few forceful plunges in quick succession. I was worried I might have to use the auger again.
