I run both of those (Kubuntu on the desktop, Fedora KDE in a laptop) and either one is a good option.

Is your printer set up on a good, solid countertop? If it rests on something that has any wobble, like a folding table, it can translate into poor prints. The higher off the build plate the print goes, and the faster you run the printer, the part will wiggle a bit without a solid mount. Also make sure all the frame screws are tight.

Well shit, what school got shot up today? Haven't looked at the news yet, but odds are depressingly good that there was a school shooting somewhere around the US most days.

I'm a quality chemist. I test the API's that process chemists make to be sure they're right. Yeah, reactions don't always proceed as intended. These guys do understand the risks, and are only trying to provide an option. Here in the US the insurance companies are perfectly willing to let us die because funding expensive treatment hurts their bottom line. Unless you're independently wealthy, a small scale reactor at home may become the only option a person has available. Definitely risky, but why not take the chance when corporate America has determined you're not valuable enough to save?

I've been to the top of this temple, back in the mid 90's when people were still allowed to go up. Banning climbing was certainly necessary, you could see that all the traffic was eroding the stairs back then. Dangerous descent too. The climb wasn't bad, but coming back down those steep narrow steps made me take my time. Slipping and tumbling to the bottom could easily be deadly, and I wasn't looking to become another sacrifice to the gods.

“Voters should decide who our primary nominees are, not DNC leadership.” Since when has the DNC not put it's thumb on the scales in the past few decades, or ignored the voters entirely?

If the guy deems himself to be a sovereign citizen, not subject to the laws of the state, why is he even bothering to make a fake license plate for the car? By doing so he's just abiding by a requirement of a system he's claiming to not be bounded by? (In a second-grader with a crayon and paper kind of way).

Trick, no treat.

With Trump in the White House, Republican control of the Senate and likely the House, and a stacked Supreme Court, there's nothing to stop him from tearing down whatever he wants. There doesn't have to be a replacement plan. Insurance companies will applaud the end of ACA mandates, which will let them sell policies without minimum government requirements for coverage and they can go back to denying coverage for "pre-existing"conditions. It's going to screw over a lot of people.

For the hell these executives put sick people through so they can make a buck, I'm surprised it hasn't been happening on a regular basis. I understand gunning down CEOs in the street isn't fine, but part of me finds it hard to feel it wasn't deserved.

That was Cory Doctorow's recent take on it too. Trump just threw out the trade agreement with Canada and Mexico he was so proud to say was his accomplishment, after renegotiating NAFTA. They really should say fine, stew in your own mess. Ignore patents, crank out cheap pharmaceuticals, forget about DRM. Nationalize US factories on their soil. Will hurt for a while until new trade is established, but there is the whole rest of the planet to trade with.

May all your Christmas wishes come true.

I wish the US had made the switch to metric back in the 70's. I remember having to learn it in grade school, and there seemed to be a push for it, but never went anywhere. I now work as a chemist where everything is done in metric, but then go back to US measures once I punch out for the day. Would be nice to have a single system instead.

Right hand inswing. If you were standing outside to open the door, it would swing inward to the right.

They neglected to include a M2 slot for a SSD. If they add it to a future release, I'll have to get one. Could finally have my own Shadowrun rigger deck!

Also "I am so caught up in my current project that I can't be bothered to stop and eat something. Maybe later..."

My cousin and his wife adopted their son from Guatemala. Great kid, growing up to become an admirable adult. They're right-wing Trump supporters in the state of Florida. I know they voted for this shit, and probably don't conceive of the idea this could ever harm THEIR son. But all it takes is the fact that he doesn't look American enough to some racist in a uniform for him to get snatched up in a sweep. Really hope he doesn't face this kind of harassment, but now its become much more likely.

My concern is more the host of ghouls following him in with a plan this time around. They'll destroy our institutions and feast on the corpses to fatten themselves even more. The damage George W Bush did to government organizations by outsourcing to private industry will seem like small potatoes.

Looks like she's already wearing one from the photo they used. Very brave and admirable for her to step up and continue forward.
