    There is an argument for standing to pee since it empties the urethra more completely compared to sitting to pee. This is mostly relevant for 40+ people since they are more likely to have any issues.

    Simple trick to shit/sit and pee and still empty everything is to push on the area between dick and butthole.

    I've heard that this is the new type of layoffs big tech is doing. Massive layoffs that are required lower the stock price but people quitting is not news. So the best strategy to get rid of staff is to create a hostile work environment temporarily until you reach the right amount.

    This is a really bad idea for long term health of a company. The people that stay are the ones that will struggle to find new jobs and the people that leave probably already have another job at a competing firm lined up.

    It's just straight up dumb but keeps the stock price high and the CEO gets his bonus.

    I listened to Atlas Shrugged as an audio book and it was ok at best. One massive criticism of communism and how it doesn't work but suggested anarchist society as the solution. Weird rape-y sex scene in the middle also. Should have stuck with the social criticism instead of anarco capitalism utopia stuff and it'd have been good.

    I like stories of babies if they're not complaints. Vacation I basically think of it as ideas for my next vacation where you can ask stuff like "how was public transport?" or whatever

    I always thought of the "how" being better explained by the code itself where you can see string.replace(" ", "\ ") as the actual fix while the message says the "why".

    I would still have "Fix a bug where strings containing whitespace break CSVExporter" as my go to message.

    I guess our viewpoints are different based whether we want the commit messages to represent tasks or changes. They both have their uses of course. Looking at changes to a file to know what people have done to it is better with a "changes" type message but looking at the history to check "did we actually complete this or was it just marked as completed in the issue tracker?" is better with a task based message.

    Task management where every issue is put on a ticket and tracked would my type of messages obsolete but at my current company theyre very useful.

    That's a tad bit difficult since Hezbollah military rivals that of the Lebanese government. This is pretty much an impossible request and him saying that he's going to cause Lebanon "destruction and suffering"

    I like good commit messages that use less words but still give the full picture. If something hacky was done then a comment is better. I like mine with imperative voice since it avoids writing a prose.

    "Fix a bug where when doing x then y happens"

    "Add setting to control x"

    I think there is definitely political space for a left wing populist anti establishment party, you can either do it with Bundnis Sahra Wagenknecht type of party proper anti corruption social democrat or green.

    Sleeping tricks

    I'm looking for sleeping tricks and thought some other people here might have similar issues or good tricks. Can be anything from getting the motivation to go to sleep to actually tricks to falling asleep. My current trickbook is basically this: Podcasts, but it has to be in some goldilocks zone of interesting to enough to keep attention but not too good so it gets exciting. I've also done meditation in bed when falling asleep that tends to work. Consistent routine is good. Shower, brush teeth, lights off, episode, sleep. I'm curious to see what other autistic people are working with here.

    I'm born in 1992 so this game is a bit before my time. I started playing it and got completely hooked. It's an absolutely fantastic game that would still hold up as a quality indie game today. Music is amazing. Characters and character development is amazing. Story is very good. Combat is genuinely fun instead of feeling like a chore that cuts you off from the game. Art style is amazing. I was surprised how much quality they could fit onto the SNES back it the day, it's a really good game and everyone with a potato can ploy it. Pro tip: Remasters have some UI unpleasantness so it's best to stick to SNES emu version. I tried the Android and they used some native android font that ruined the immersion a bit. There's also a tight running section that's particularly unsuited for the mobile version. SNES is best, as originally intended.

    So I of course screamed BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD and SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE like any reasonable human being. Then maimed some people with a knife, drank their blood etc. She won't talk to me now and I don't understand why. Do you guys think the knife was to small? Any help very much appreciated.

    Does anybody else experience that Android activities get destroyed and rebuilt all the time when switching between apps? Browser page gets reloaded and form values disappear. Authorising a payment in different app can make the payment fail. General bad experience when multitasking 3 apps and swapping between. (I'm on Redmi Note 12 with HyperOS)

    I've been wondering how many Linux users are being listed as unknown by statcounter out of curiosity. There has been a big global bump "Unknown". Obvious ones are UserAgent spoofers Vpn users but I feel like that's pretty niche. I'm wondering if SteamOS, Endeavour and BSD show up as Unknown. Furthermore, will just all non-Ubuntu based OS?

    I'm looking for a specific distro to handle some tasks. I got a second hand rig with Nvidia GTX 1050 that I want to use as a home server. I wanted to use HoloISO but it doesn't support nvidia. If someone says "do it anyway, it's fine" I'll install it though. The idea is to support a Jellyfin server and Steam Link gaming but steam is not big on Nvidia so it's hard to narrow down "black screen" issues etc. I'm also planning to manage it via VNC and SSH. I'm familiar with Ubuntu based systems since I develop software on Ubuntu based KDE distro but never had a graphics card. So it boils down to: * Ease of setup including nvidia drivers * Ease of update via command line (I'm not going to download nvidia drivers from their website to update proprietary drivers) * Graphics performance * Prefer Ubuntu based I'm up for Gnome, Xface, Cinnamon, KDE or whatever DE. Edit: Changed title to better reflect requirements and not have misleading "headless" and "server" in it

    The setup and instructions helped a lot with setting up. My library is small and local now but the future is bright. Thank you all for writing info answers and docs. Special thanks for all the devs of Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr, Torrent clients and nzb360. Extra special thanks to the devs at Jellyfin. Honestly this whole set blew my mind.
