I think too much fibre can result in both constipation or diarrhea under the right circumstances.

White rice or white bread would be my guess.

Notice the flags are just copy and paste jobs. The artist wants the audience to understand that war propaganda is just an oversaturated, cheap reproduction of a simple template. That the choir of voices all telling you the same thing is nothing but an illusion. It’s all just one voice, copy and pasted all over.

The Simpsons seemingly exist inside a void, staring blankly at you as you stare blankly into the emptiness of their expressions. It is frightening. Confronting! It dares the viewer to face what he may not want to: That there is nothing there! It’s all a lie.

Once you look beyond Marge, the focal point, you notice that something is not quite right. The drawing becomes cruder towards the edges, as propaganda tends to look when you look more closely into the details and circumstances. This also creates the impression (quite deliberately) that the artist gave up on this assignment, his professional self-respect, and life in general. Like he wants to say: Please Xi Jinping! The Simpsons yearn for freedom!

On the Trans-Siberian they put trains on a ferry over Lake Baikal, but that wasn’t great because sometimes even the ice-breaking ferries couldn’t deal with the thick ice during the winter. So eventually they blasted tunnels through the mountains to go around the lake.

They just kicked out a pro-Palestine activist, Ramsis Kilani:

The Landesschiedskommission is thus following the logic of unconditional support for the State of Israel, in accordance with German Staatsräson, which it has put above the right to existence of and equal rights for Palestinian people.

The current development of the mass killing of the Palestinian civil population, which has also been confirmed by Amnesty International as a genocide, was given no import in the judgement of the context of my statements.

So Die Linke thinks Israel has a right to exist, and that armed resistance against a genocide is illegitimate, and anybody who disagrees with that gets thrown out.

So “Red Hitler” isn’t too far off here.

Anything used for internal Android usage will be formatted completely differently from the standard FAT32/exFAT, which is most likely what’s going on. It it wasn’t detecting the SD card it probably wouldn’t ask you to format it.

A reader from 2011 is almost certainly SDHC (spec from 2006) compatible and likely also SDXC (2009) compatible. Also I vaguely remember something about being able use bigger cards on older readers in an out-of-spec sort of way some situations.

Edit: Also looked this up SDHC readers can read/write SDXC cards, only slower it seems. And I think what I remember was that 4 GB cards worked in many devices that only supported OG SD standard, which was only 2 GB.

Those dutch ovens are usually cast iron, so much thicker and cast (poured into a sand mold) and not pressed into shape from a sheet of steel, like the pots I’m talking about. Both get enameled with some kind of glass. I think that process is similar to glazing clay/porcelain, but there’s no clay involved here.

That’s encouraging, thanks. Any opinion on putting this on a 2100 W induction plate (with water in it)?

I like them both.

The newer one (being wider and more symmetrical at the bottom) has a pleasing sort of triangle going on, like an arrow pointing towards the star. The old one just kinda has a star above it.

I kinda like the wider sickle thing on the old one on its own though.

Also it looks like the new one is a bit brighter. The darker tone makes it seem more badass somehow, but badassery is not really the main point you’d want to convey.

Mmmh Quarkstrudel

Libs telling us how they really feel. And what they feel is morally superior and genocidal hate against the poors, Muslims, Latinos, etc. Many of the comments don’t even pretend about making a distinction between Trump voters and all these groups. They all apparently deserve what’s coming to them, for being part of some group that maybe voted for Trump more than previously, but less than the (white) middle class a number of these assholes admit to being part of.

I’m on the 2nd chapter (?) of farewell, so right behind you (i.e. probably 5000 more deaths and 5 hours).

Vinegar is nice to cut through fatty foods. But why mix the vinegar like 1:10 with oil, that kinda defeats the purpose?

Though I’m biased, I’m from the mayo-hating part of Germany, which is less based than it sounds.

I don’t have personal experience, but from what I gather they work their employees to the bone. Everybody in there is expected to do all the jobs at a fast pace. The cashiers are expected to work incredibly fast, and if the register is slow, they close it down even for a couple of minutes and have the employees do something else. Pay (in Germany) is above average for cashiers, but there’s been some serious union-busting fuckery at Aldi and Lidl that’s actually quite shocking by German standards. Lidl (maybe Aldi as well?) are surprisingly in favor of a higher minimum wage, because they need less workers than the competition thanks to labor-saving procedures, and that would give them a competitive edge. It sounds alienating as fuck.

According to the founding myth, the original inspiration behind Aldi were military logistics. The whole thing was designed to be efficient.

Only stock predictably fast-selling stuff, for easier logistics and less warehousing. Don’t stock wares into shelves, just dump the whole pallet or box on the floor to save on labor costs. Sell only your own generic brands so you can dump your supplier for a cheaper one. No big advertising campaigns, just print some leaflets and distribute them yourself. And then they massively expanded to benefit from economies of scale.

In Germany, in response to this, the competition created their own Aldi-style discounters with mostly identical prices and on average roughly equivalent quality, which are now everywhere. The other successful strategy is what Rewe did: This supermarket chain copied some of Aldi’s approach to cost-cutting, and is now a bit of a hybrid between a traditional supermarket and a discounter. Importantly, they offer similar price and quality own-brand product for most things an Aldi would sell, while also selling more expensive alternatives and having a larger inventory. Why go to Aldi when you can get same price/quality as Aldi, but also this thing and that other thing Aldi doesn’t have? No need to go to multiple stores.

Meanwhile Aldi and Lidl have expanded their inventory and become more supermarket-like themselves (my guess is computerized logistics made this easier to do cheaply, and they have to compete with Rewe).

One other thing that happened is that these very large chains can squeeze their suppliers with their massive buying power. They basically suck all the profit from the supply chain for the benefit of just a couple of superrich families (though this also happened in other markets with e.g. Walmart in the US.) Oh and they are militantly anti-union, but again the whole industry is.

I don’t get it

How did you manage that Pacman ghost prompt?

No… Not in practice anyway, maybe in theory. I know on ARM SoCs there’s lack of auto-configuration (like you have on PCs with e.g. PCI), and the kernel has no way of knowing what hardware is available. So there’s a file that lists all the devices, and how to talk to them, called (I think) a “device tree”. This file gets appended to the kernel image, and so the bootloader just loads that together with the kernel. The kernel doesn’t do any auto-configuration and rather just reads this file and loads the relevant drivers based on that. I guess it might be (in theory) possible to do this on PC, but I’ve never heard of such a thing. I also don’t expect that to make any noticeable difference for boot times. Pretty sure boot times are dominated by user space, and not the kernel anyway.

Sidenote (don’t do this): You can compile your own kernel (this used to be pretty common back in the day). You can select only the drivers you need, and can also select whether they should be compiled directly into the kernel or as modules that can be loaded later if needed. Pretty sure the auto-detection happens regardless for most hardware, since the driver needs to be initialized and told where the hardware is to be found. Compiling a driver right into the kernel just means the driver code is in memory right from the very start. I don’t recommend doing this btw, the only difference you will notice is shit not working due to you screwing up, and you’re going to waste a bunch of time and electricity compiling your kernel with every update. You sometimes needed to do this to get all your hardware working, but I haven’t done this in ages.

Should just work. No need to reinstall. You are correct in thinking that all the drivers are included, and furthermore, the drivers on Linux are typically loaded automatically when the hardware is detected on every boot, and this is not configured anywhere in a file or anything like that.

Usually, anyway. In theory it’s possible that you manually (or some tool) hardcoded drivers somewhere, like in xorg.conf, but I’m willing to bet that isn’t the case.
