  • And then you release the mouse close by and it’s back inside real quick, or you release it far away and it’ll be inside someone else’s house real quick, or you release it in “nature” and I’ll die anyway because house mice have evolved to survive in houses.

    Kill traps suck, but “humane” traps either don’t solve the problem or are worse.



  • To be fair, if you DO find yourself in this moral dilemma you’re a shit driver. People don’t just teleport into the middle of a crosswalk. If you’re going at such a speed to where a granny can make it 3/4rds across the crosswalk but you’re going too fast to stop… you’re going too fast period.






  • Unless you’re hanging a CRT you really don’t need to bother screwing into the studs. Get the right type of plug and you can hang some pretty absurd weights from drywall, especially if most of the force is straight down like it would be with a tv mount. I really like the screw-in type plug. Easy to install, no possibility of the toggle not toggling or whatever.

    If you want to mount one of those extendo-mounts I’d probably bother to screw it into the studs though, to be fair.




  • Honestly I’ve never had an easier time getting that sort of thing to work than on linux. As soon as there’s a font installed providing emoji pretty much any program will pick up on that. Even got a Toki Pona font working just by installing it. Now I can IRC in languages no one speaks!





  • Nothing. Having a toggle for “legitimate interest” is nonsense. The GDPR lists some exceptions to when you need to ask for permission, these are “legitimate interests”. Things like remembering someones IP to keep track of bans is allowable without needing to ask for permission.

    Of course advertising agencies promptly went to work trying to bend the language of GDPR so they can claim they are a legitimate interest and therefore exempt. It won’t hold up in court.

    The GDPR is surprisingly strict, and a LOT of the cookie popups you see in the wild are not at all compliant. To give an example: having your “accept” and “reject” buttons a different font size is explicitly not allowed.
