Why is there a tartan over Portugal?

European guy, weird by default.
You dislike what I say, great. Makes the world a more interesting of a place. But try to disagree with me beyond a downvote. Argue your point. Let’s see if we can reach a consensus between our positions.

This is grim and a lot of dirty politians want it back.
Disgusting.
No worries. Somewhere, somehow, the solution awaits.
Sorry to inform you that besides filling my hard drive with unnecessary clutter, my printer remains as was.
Now… How do I purge my system from all this?
bash simply returns a command not found message when invoking gutenprint-printer-app
I haven’t installed the GUI
The printer remains as is, faulty
I’ve installed the gutenprint driver but my specific printer is not listed as a supported model. Testing it as I write this but with no particular hopes…
edit: and no, it still prints one sheet at a time, no duplex, and it botching the image printing quality
install.sh: 27: Syntax error: "(" unexpectedJust like that.
Debian stable
I get the reference and I second that one.

My mind has a single track, runs at low speed and revolves on a predictable cycle.
A long, convoluted way to say I’m disgusting.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you think you would survive if you received every injury of your life at once?
3·3 months agoYou be the judge of it:
- punched through a tempered, textured, 3mm thick glass, leading to several cuts on a hand and wrist
- kicked a glass panel on a door and got a nasty cust on my toe
- several instances of cutting myself on different types of thorny bushes
- perforation with glasses rim on my eyebrow
- severe cut on my other eyebrow, another on the bridge of my nose
- broken arm, twice
- fall from a 1st floor balcony, landing on a bush, after breaking a cabinet with my back and legs, until finally reaching the ground
- hundreds, if not thousands, of small scrapes and bruises
- bitten by dogs, leading to deep gouges, on my calves
- severe tear on the back of my left hand, with a broken bone, not exposed, leading to surgery
- many, many, many sprained ankles and wrists
- three pulled teeth plus all the bleeding from losing my baby teeth
- minor burns on hands and fingers, from cooking
- several nasty cuts from kitchen knives and a perforation by a lobster spike, which led to a severe infection, with a piece of lobster shell stuck underneath a finger nail
- a few near choking to death episodes
- two electrocussion incidents (230V), for mere seconds

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What is the optimal handle to chain length for a flail?
31·3 months agoI’m going to risk there is none.
Many hand to hand combat weapons were bespoke to the user.
Using an example I’m fairly familiar with:
In Portugal, we have a martial art called jogo do pau. It uses a simple wooden staff. Today’s schools insist the staff has a standard lenght, width and shape.
An old school practitioner I had the pleasure to meet taught me the staff was always made to fit the wielder, not the opposite.
As a general guide line, it should have the lenght of the distance from the wielder’s armpit to the ground but there would be people that prefered longer or shorter staffs. Some people would prefer thinner staffs, nearly cylindrical in shape, others would prefers heavier, thicker, almost eliptical in profile. The amount of customisation and variation capable of being put into the weapon itself was so diverse, it made each staff unique.
I’d risk this same logic would apply to more classic weapons, like the flails you ask about.
I’m not against supporting a software in a recurring form but the web browser is essentially the lock and key of accessing the entirery of what exists outside your machine.
That would garner an immense power to whichever entity developing one. Remember Microsoft and the IE case.
Firefox is not perfect and apparently on a downwards spiral but what made it stand out was because it wanted to be free and for all. Chrome is far from being a good thing.
Still too rich for my blood
That sounds very nice!
I don’t have the money for a FairPhone.
But unplug from the net? Sounds strange. The model I checked is a fully fledged smartphone. Nothing that signaled the phone was about not having advanced functionalities.






This may also signal stress or calcium deficiency or excess in the animal’s diet.
Hens over one year old tend to lay very thick and hard shelled eggs, that break unevenly and peel poorly, even with every single technic to boil it used, when a surplus of calcium is available.
Younger hens, below 6 months of age, tend to lay fin shelled eggs that stick more to the inner membrane.
