Lakewood Hospital
Lakewood Hospital - Lemmy.World
So about 10-15 years ago they closed Lakewood hospital and tore it down. Now it’s just a big grass feild, with no signs of future building, but it’s all blocked off with fences. Why? If you’re not going to do anything with the land, put in some swingsets, and monkey bars. Make it a small little park for the kids. Maybe put some bushes in, some picnic tables. The land isn’t flat, or else it would be a great place to play football games. Why let the land just be abandoned but blocked off?

Why are ghosts never racist?
Why are ghosts never racist? - Lemmy.World
For a creature that’s known for their fashion choices of wearing a white sheet, you’d think there would be more racist ghosts. They come from a time when it was socially acceptable to be openly racist. Plus, if you go back about 1000 years or so, it was socially acceptable to just murder entire villages because your people didn’t like their people. But anytime you see a ghost, it’s always like “oooOOOooooOOOO!! I HAVE UNFINISHED BUSINESS ON EARTH!!!” Like, seriously??? Why would a ghost give a fuck if his finances weren’t paid before they died? And, can we talk about ghostbusters for a second? That one judge was like “Oooh, those are the famous criminals that were brothers! I sent them to death row” But meanwhile they look NOTHING like humans. But somehow he instantly recognizes them. Are we led to believe they looked like ghoulish monsters when they were alive? And the librarian looks like a human corpse. So, still human, but, like, after her body has been dead a few weeks. Are we to believe she died, and then her spirit stayed inside her rotting corpse of a body and THEN became a ghost, and retained it’s final form? Either way…never seen a racist ghost. Which I think has to be statistically impossible.

So, I’m not that understanding of linux. But I guess I can’t call myself “new” anymore. I’ve been using linux since December. Although to be fair, I’m barely ever home. “Using” linux at this point mostly consists of opening firefox, and watching youtube. I know “sudo” is “super user” “apt” is some kind of repository command, and then you type “install (program)” But I’ve really taken to flatpack. I hate hate HATE the terminal. All I ever do is screw things up in there. I don’t know what I’m doing. I just follow commands. “Just copy/paste this exact set of text”. And then I have an error. It’s kind of like knowing 4x4=16. And all you do is memorize that line, as opposed to knowing that 4x4 is the same as 4+4+4+4. And knowing what 4 is. If you memorized 4x4=16, but get presented with 4x4-2, and you don’t understand the core concept of numbers, you wouldn’t know how to adjust 16 to 14, and know WHY it’s 14. I’m just copy/pasting someone elses instructions. >sudo apt get firefox && -z, -r, -☆, -$, randop, redo, up. That’s probably complete jibberish in terminal, but it helps you (the experienced linux user) understand how terminal feels/looks to me. If I had a problem, and troubleshooting told me to copy/paste that to solve my problem, I would. That to me looks as legitimate as any other jibberish that would actually work. Ok. Rant aside, lets start a civil war in here! I’ve been using ZorinOS, and I kind of like it. HOWEVER, I did spend a considerable amount of time tweaking it. It’s finally how I want it, so I’m not messing with it. So I’ve never experienced KDE. I’ve only experienced GNOME. And quite honestly I don’t know what that means. I know it has to do with the desktop environment…but I don’t know what would be different if I used another desktop environment. But that brings me to a question I was told you just can’t ask the linux community without blood being shed. What’s better? KDE? Or GNOME?

Ok, so I have a weird setup, but if I could get this shit to work, it would be crazy. First off, I have one of these [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00475DQ6Y] The neat thing about that is, your hard drive can be ejected very easily. And a new one inserted. It also has a spot for a slave drive that can do the same thing. Right now, I’m using ZorinOS as my daily driver. I don’t know how exactly I became a Linux user, but, I guess at this point I’ve been using it daily since the week of Christmas 2024. Which was like 6 months ago now. Anyways, self realizations aside, I have an idea. I’ve installed Lutris on this install, and I have run out of room for my games. I also have an 8TB hard drive I’m not using. My plan is to use the 8TB hard drive to do nothing but install games to. Then have Lutris look for the games on the slave drive. Now here’s where it gets interesting. What if that 8tb drive gets filled too? Well, I could buy a SECOND 8TB drive! What if I install Game 1, Game 2, and Game 3 on SSDSlave1 and then I install Game 4, Game 5 and Game 6 on SSDSlave2. So now, I’m playing Game 2. But I want to play game 6. So I just turn off the PC, swap slave drives, and turn it back on. And now, it’s ready for me. Oh, but we’re not done yet. I’m using SSDMain1 with ZorinOS with Lutris installed. What if I swapped hard drives to SSDMain2 with Mint with Lutris installed? Then whichever hard drive is inserted is what dictates what games I can play. Like an old school NES except now for modern systems. So, recap. Slot 1 should be able to swap between OS’s, And slot 2 would be able to swap between games. With any combination working, since they’d both have Lutris installed. Is that possible?

Ok, so basically a user had asked whats the best way to buy their neighbors house. There were some useful (if not obvious) answers as replies. And then there’s my reply… First…maybe consider murdering your neighbors wife and children? But don’t let it be known it was you. Then you could play up the fact that they don’t want to live in a house that constantly reminds them of the terrible events of that fateful night. Also don’t do anything that would harm the house itself. So don’t burn them alive, and don’t fill the house with millions of Asian murder hornets. Also, as effective as it would be, I’d reccomend AGAINST setting loose a horny mating season silverback gorilla into their bedroom. He might start smashing walls. The obvious answer is snakes. But not rattlesnakes. Rattlesnakes don’t actually want to kill. They just like being left alone. Thats why they rattle. It’s their way of saying: >“Hey friend, you’ve encroached upon my living territory, and now I feel uncomfortable with your presense. Please leave, or I’ll be forced to defend myself, and quite honestly, I don’t want the guilt or the PTSD. That being said, it’s not a hollow threat. I WILL kill you very easily. Please leave.” The problem is, we don’t want them to leave. That would thwart our whole plan of murder. They would just flee the house, and then they’d be talking to EMS, and animal rescue. They’d be like: >“No I DON’T know why there are suddenly 16 rattlesnakes in our house! We certainly didn’t steal them from 6 different zoos from neighboring states…” Instead I suggest the Black Mamba, known for its speed, aggression, and potent venom. No I totally didn’t just pull that from a google search for “deadly snakes” followed by clicking the first wikipedia entry I found. But here’s the trick. Don’t lowball him per se, but also don’t give him full home value. Just convince him not even to put the home on the market. Don’t even look into it’s value. Just sell the home, and put this dark day behind you. I’m sure you won’t go crazy if you move to a secluded cabin in the woods surrounded by bears and the occasional big foot. You’ll be fiiiiiine. Then take that suckers land after slaughtering his loved ones! It’s the American way! Oh. You’re not American? Well then. Your results may vary.
Why can't I assign function to the windows key? ZorinOS
Why can't I assign function to the windows key? ZorinOS - Lemmy.World
So I’m on ZorinOS, and I go to Zorin Appearance > Interface > And in that Menu is the option "“Left Super Key”. I’ve been led to believe that’s where I assign the action of the windows key. Except it’s greyed out. I’d like it to do exactly what it does on WindowsXP and Windows 7, where a start menu pops up. At one time it did that. Then now it’s a totally different action that I can’t quite explain. It’s like it shows every single open app in a zoomed out view, and you can click one to zoom in on that window. I know, my description sucks. But I can’t select Left Super Key, and I don’t know linux well enough to know why.
Replace bathroom gender signs with 1 sign of a turtle, and the other door is sign of a goat. Do not give any context as to what these animals mean in relation to which gender each bathroom is.
What the hell is going on with my arms???
What the hell is going on with my arms??? - Lemmy.World
So, I’m pretty new to working out. I’m deceptively strong, but I’m more into losing weight than strength building. Still though, I paid $600 for a year of gym membership, and I bought these things called Powerblock’s, which are like dumbells, but you can customize their weight up to 50lbs (and you can expand them later up to 90lbs). So I figure I should just do some strength training anyways. Not like there’s a downside, right? So for the first month of this, I had a very wrong idea. I thought “go to the gym, every day, and just do whatever”. So most days were arm day. I’d go on a Monday, arm day. I’d go on a Tuesday, arm day. I’d go 4-5 days a week. Since then, I’ve been told NOT to do that, and only do arm day once per week. As the muscles need time to heal between lifts. Here’s the thing I don’t get. I’ve been doing curls, and another machine where you pull these pulleys downward, and set the weight. With Curls, I’m up to 30lbs for that. Sets of 12 is what I was told. I was doing sets of 20, but I was told that was too much. When I got home, I tried doing this other exercise with my Powerblock. I’m sure there’s a name for it, but bear with me. You stand straight up, with your arms at your sides, holding the dumbells. Then the exercise is, you raise your arms. Not forward, not towards you, but to your sides. So your body makes a T shape. Arms fully extended left and right at shoulder height, still holding the dumbells. and then you lower your arms back to your waist. It’s kind of like flapping your wings, but in slow motion, and more stiff. I can’t do that at 30lbs. I can’t even do it fully at 20lbs. I’ve been doing it at 17.5 lbs. But here’s what’s weird. Even from day 1 when I did curls, I could either do it, or I couldn’t. Based on weight. My first attempt I tried a 50lbs dumbell. Mistake. On day 1 I kept sizing down until I got to the 10lbs, and then over the coarse of a week, moved up to a 20lbs, and now a 30lbs. But if I tried to do another weight that I couldn’t lift, I just couldn’t lift it. There’s no pain. But when I do my T arms exercise, even at 17.5lbs, there’s pain. It’s not a lot of pain, but there’s pain. There’s no pain if I go down to 15lbs, which is the powerblock with no weight, and completely empty. So it’s practically weightless. Which is what I don’t understand. Why can I lift curls at 30lbs, but this T exercise not only causes pain, but I also can’t even do 20lbs? Am I doing something dangerous?
