The mice can smell the cat and knows to stay away.

When I was a kid we moved into a lovely house where I grew up, it was quite well ventilated, (when a gust of wind hit in a particular way, it would blow sheets of paper of my desk even when all windows and doors were closed), and we had to get mouse traps, these were the old classic type which snapped shut and broke the mouse’s neck, we would get a few mice every year.

Then we decided to get a kitten, a lovely completely black kitten with thick but short fur and tuffs on her ears.

We didn’t know it at the time but over the next 15-20 years she became a quite accomplished huntress.

And we never had any issues with mice since though one mice that she brought home did escape into a hole inside and we never saw it again, probably because we just after that poured a concreate foundation through the hole.

Not even when we got rid of the water melon my dad had placed in the foundation mold.

That is a Swedish Ak5… They are being replaced with the Ak6.

SO THAT IS WHY I HATE HAVING AN EVEN SLIGHTLY DIRTY WINDSHIELD!

I have known that I have astigmatism since childhood, but never really understood what it means until now.

I got my license in 2022, and have allways found oncoming cars to be very distracting when driving at night.

I thought we had decided on Space Karen

Thank you!

Nowhere does it say what “SS7” is.

It is also the fashion…

I disagree, from what I have seen, the vast majority of people are empathic, we just focus on those who are not

Yeah, without empathy our current society would never have had existed, sadly greed is often more powerful once basic needs and safety are met.

CEOs of publicly traded companies doesn’t have the option to show empathy, they are there to maximize the company value for the shareholders.

Going against that would be a crime.

This is not an excuse for not doing it, this is an explanation of a faulty system.

Insurance companies should not have shareholders.

Ah, yeah, I have read about that, I do feel a bir hesitant to use BTRFS so I didn’t think about that.

The Linux machines I have worked with all ran ext3/4 or xfs.

To be completely fair, I never gave BTRFS a proper chance, at first because it felt too new and unstable when I heard about it, and later I heard that it was developed by Facebook and let my distaste for that company color my perceptions of btrfs.

But I just checked the wikipedia article and saw that plenty of reputable oranizations have worked on btrfs, so I guess I’ll get it a go when I build a NAS…

Thanks for reminding me of it, I may get set in my ways from time to time but I do genuinely try to learn and change my way of thinking.

That is fair, but ignores compounding issues like installing several software packages over years and forgetting about them, and something like that causes an issue years after installing and forgetting about the software, then it is far easier to just reinstall.

Snapshot as in a VM?

Most people run their OS on physical hardware.

As an IT guy who has worked professionally as a Linux sysadmin.

While you are correct, the factor you are missing is time.

There have been countless times I have reinstalled Linux machines because it is faster than troubleshooting the issue

I thought jokes were supposed to be funny…

That is idiotic, there is absolutely a reason to reinstall in some cases

If you have an iPhone, you can see two tiny torx screws on the bottom by the lightning/USB-C port

Torx.

I have never seen a crosshead screw cut out to the edges…
