Dermatologist hate this one trick!

In this country, you gotta get the pickup truck first. Then when you get the pickup, you get the tornado. Then when you get the tornado, then you get the fun.

TUBA: Terrible Underwater Breathing Apparatus

I feel bad for both parties in these scams. The scammer, from what I’ve read, is duped into the job and threatened with violence and death (along with their family) to continue the work. On the other side are the poor kids who risk a level of psychological damage that may take years to repair, if it can be repaired…all for a few bucks

If you’re on a scam binge, the NYT (yes, I know) Daily podcast did a piece on how drug cartels are scamming people using the sale of property

Inspired by this article. Thankfully it seems more like a chest thumping move, rather than standard practice. It’s not like there are hordes of addicts ravaging cemeteries like some post apocalyptic movie

tl;dr Allegedly, addicts in Sierra Leone are mixing crushed human bones into their drugs, for a little extra pep in their step

Don’t give them any ideas! 😂

I like the Kingdom Rush tower defense series of games

I’ll also toss Serious Sam 3 BFE in the ring, it lets you choose which levels you’d like to play without having to progress through the normal campaign mode. So if you have a few minutes, and feel the need for some stress relief it works well

I feel like I’m being judged…and I don’t think it’s going to end well 😂

You should also post to !superbowl@lemmy.world so everyone can enjoy this pic

For some reason I can’t edit my earlier post. The seller w/ that price is not Amazon…so a big YMMV. Here’s one from Amazon for $30, so if you want to return it it should be less of a hassle

Belkin makes a dongle like that, I’ve not had a chance to test it, but Amazon has reviews if you want to roll the dice for $10 + $5 Shipping

I think you’ll enjoy Children of Dune much more than Messiah

It’s been a while since I’ve read the series, but I don’t recall feeling the same excitement with the successive novels as I did with the first. I did read all 6 of them, but honestly by the time I started God Emperor I felt as though the storyline was getting a little too off base.

Regarding the Dune movie, it’s what got me into the books, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. As with 90% of adaptations, there is no way for a film to capture the nuances of the source, doubly so for a book such as Dune

Just read an ArsTechnica article about David Lynch’s unfinished Dune Messiah’s script. It was a long, but interesting read

Wow, TiL. I only knew of 2 different versions of the movie differentiated by the opening narration

TIL - Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation

That reminds me, so is SCUBA, RADAR and MODEM…I miss the old History Channel shows, especially Modern Marvels

SCUBA: Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus (Blew my mind for some reason when I learned that)
RADAR: Radio Detection and Ranging (I’ve watched alot of WWII documentaries)
MODEM: Modulation Demodulation (I’ve worked in tech)

Tegucigalpa is the capital of Honduras. No idea where I learned that

So close. It’s like they knew they had to do something, just not exactly what

Do you remember if you could get to a rommon prompt? As long as console access is available you should’ve been able to upload replacement FW. I once had to use kermit or xmodem (I don’t recall) @2400 bps to recover an AP by transferring new FW over the console cable (I’m not sure new APs even have a console port), but switches should be recoverable…the things you do, when you want to go home and not spend another day on site 🤣

My only caution would be to ensure that you use the correct FW. IIRC -L means Lan Base not IP Services, but it should warn you that there isn’t enough space, if that’s the case
