Beavers can be a great help in restoring wetlands. They’re being released in California to help stop wildfires as their ponds are natural firebreaks…unfortunately when they build around humans it doesn’t always work out. They’ve been known to flood neighborhoods and wash out roads.
I saw a documentary a while back where they were washing out roads (in Canada IIRC) by damning up the drains that run under the roads. They just have a built in need to stop flowing water. Instead of killing or re-locating the beavers, the guy being interviewed realized if they laid out a secondary conduit (large hose) in the drain, the beavers could damn up the drain but the water would still flow from one side of the road to the other. If I can find it again I’ll post it
I was just trying to share a story I found positive, and made me feel good. I had no idea grazing sheep was such a controversial topic 😃
I guess I’ll have to scrutinize any future post I contribute
That’s true, but they are more efficient and cost effective than running gas powered mowers around solar panels. The added bonus of not needing to purchase feed during parts of the year is also a nice plus
From this article it sounds like he’s one of those religious nuts trying to force their views on everyone. He probably starts off every conversation with “well, you know, as a Christian.”
It’s never about religion with a POS like this, it’s almost always about control. Hopefully the lawsuit gets tossed before it costs the school district too much money, and he can go work at a religious school where his views will probably not cause waves
Pretty sure that’s what they do. When I was school most teachers had trouble pronouncing some names, so they’d just ask us what we preferred to be called, or how we’d prefer our names to be pronounced and they’d make a note.
Most kids had nicknames that they preferred to use anyway, so that’s what how they’d be addressed. All official paperwork had the given name, but their friends, and teachers would just refer to them by the name they preferrred…which is why this whole name situation is just baffing to me. I’m guessing they didn’t renew his contract for other/additional reasons, this is just his way or trying to hit back
TiL. I’m going to have to play around with this, thank you!

I put it on basically anything that’s fatty/greasy. I feel it helps to balance out the flavours with the right amount of acid
I’ve been using a pair of scissors to cut my spagetti, a knife would probably be way easier to clean. Thanks for the tip, I’ll let everyone know how it goes!
I’m US-East and I’ve not had any issues over the last few hours - maybe its cleared itself?
Looks like they’re available on eBay and Walmart (via a 3rd party seller)
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! 😂
Also you can export your client list, which is helpful when migrating from machine to machine
I’m also on Gnome, but I use Konsole for the ‘Copy Input to Tab’ or ‘Copy Input to All Tabs in window.’ In my use case scenario, it’s super helpful to be able to type or paste a cmd once, and have it populate multiple tabs, or specific tabs in multiple windows. It does take a little tweaking to get it to obey the dark theme settings, but once upon a time I actually created a custom dark theme, just so I could use Konsole on Gnome. Things are much easier these days 😁 I’ll have to check out Tilix, I haven’t heard of it before, but that may be b/c I literally work by myself in the dank dark basement of the building…I don’t think the cleaning crew even knows that I’m down here
This was years ago, but IIRC some youtuber used the N word while playing one of the studio’s games. The developers found out and sent the youtuber a dmca takedown notice for all their games, because f*ck racism and racist sh*tbags

Off the top of my head, you could write a small function and place it in your shell’s start up file (ex: .bashrc). The function would check to see if htop is running under your userid, and if not start it…although depending on the timing you may end up with htop in both sessions.
A second option would be to create a bookmark and set the location to something such as ssh://youruserid@localhost “htop” <- I’ve not tested this, I’ve only bookmarks to ssh into remote systems
It may just be easier to associate the command you need to a 2 or 3 letter alias and simply type that in
Definitely! For electronics, Eneloop batteries are worth every penny. I think I have ~10 AA and AAA, and I haven’t bought disposable batteries in years. I try to make sure I have 4 of each available at all times so I don’t have to wait for them to recharge. I’ve tried cheaper (Amazon) batteries, and they fail much more quickly, and sometimes swell to the point where I have a hard time removing them.
Some people say IKEA’s batteries are just rebranded Eneloops, but I haven’t had a chance to try them
Thanks for the tl;dr! These news sites really need to calm down
