I’ve been looking into getting a heat pump in the northern US and for heating it doesn’t seem to be worth it quite yet. The problem where I’m at is that it gets very cold and natural gas is pretty cheap but electricity is expensive. I hope this changes soon. It would be a no brainer if I were replacing a resistive heater though.

Hey, if these companies want the job done right they should hire a professional to do it! ;)

oflag=direct

Prevents the writes from piling up in the cache. dd will report the transfer is done when the writes have been cached so this setting prevents dd from exiting until the data has been written completely to the block device.

The perfect attire for those times when you have a deer hunting trip in the morning and a political rally in the evening!

Neat! I’ll have to try that out.

dd, or cat with a shell redirect are all you need to write that iso.

My trouble with dd is all the flags I need to remember to make it fast and more convenient. dd if=file of=/dev/device oflag=direct status=progress bs=1M is there anything I’m missing?

Cook the turkey upside down and it will baste itself. Then flip the turkey over and broil for 5 min to crisp the skin and make it look a little nicer.

Oh yeah it’s totally an appliance OS built around Kodi and not a general purpose OS. I do use it to watch YouTube though. I’ll “send to Kodi” from my phone and it plays on the TV. I use a full desktop computer for all the other stuff you mentioned. I only brought up Kodi on the raspi because this meme specifically calls out videos, which do work quite well (as long as it isn’t a vc1 encode apparently).

Yeah I can’t speak to that as I don’t have anything encoded in vc1. After a quick search I see that’s a proprietary Microsoft codec so that’s probably why I didn’t encode anything with it.

Huh. I use a Raspberry Pi 5 as a media center PC running Kodi / libreelec… Literally all it does is play videos and music. Even 4k h.265. This meme makes no sense to me.

Tree style tabs is my enabler 😖

No I get the point. That point would have been better made with a construction worker or miner or any number of jobs that breaks your body while buying your labor, but they made it with one that’s done in service of others, their country, their neighbors, strangers in another country. Only at a cursery glance are they doing the same thing.

Edit and after finding this I’m going to go ahead and say fuck Krime. They do know what they are saying here.

This post / art is extremely disrespectful to the people that lost so much doing what their country has asked of them.

Fuckin a, man.

So far, so good.

Is another of my favorite responses to “how’s it going”

I’m not interested in discussing the first paragraph but for the second; as I understand it you have to define something before you can regulate it. The pedantry is over the definition of a machine gun in that a bump stock doesn’t really apply because each bump is a separate action by the operator, and the court apparently agreed. The definition of a machine gun can be changed perhaps to define a maximum rate of fire instead of number of rounds fired per trigger pull or something.

FWIW you can bump fire without a bump stock, It just requires a little bit of manual dexterity

I can see why that kind of libertarianism is unpopular. Thanks for the explanation. I’m coming from the “every person has freedom to do all that they will, provided they infringe not the equal freedom of any other person” school of thought where slavery is absolutely not allowed and there’s government to protect people’s liberty and freedom.

I see. It sounds like “liberty for me, not for thee”. Not cool.
