I’m happy with copilot “looking over my shoulder” so it has the context when I ask for assistance, but I’m not sure I want it modifying the code directly.

Considering anime, she is either way to young or way to old to be president

If not for the BASIC examples in the old 3-2-1 contact kids magazines that I discovered worked on my elementary schools Apple II computers and then later QBASIC, I have no idea what I would be doing in life.

That was my gateway to a greater interest in computers and an eventual job in IT. And. I will always respect BASIC for it.

Don’t panic. A few fleas could easily be random chance. You don’t really have to go to a vet, but in this case I would just for peace of mind for the humans.

Do buy a flea comb (if you do not already have one) and begin combing every night. Espcially around the neck and head. Don’t worry about squishing the fleas, just mix up some mild soapy water in a glass and drop them in that.

Keep count every night and you will be able to tell if the problem is under control or not.

Do vacuum and clean house.

You may want to invest in a flea trap. These combine a light and a sticky pad and can be placed on the floor to attract any loose fleas. Move it around to likely places and it will both help trap fleas and give you an idea of how many might be in the house (if any.)

If you do not go to a vet, do buy some over the counter flea treatment. If regular combing is not enough, it will help, but I would not use it for just a few fleas.

My cat has had fleas a few times, but thankfully I’ve only needed the ointment once. Mist of the time combing was enough.

That’s when they turn the farm into a themed hotel that is only open during select holidays.

One thing I’m learning from these types of questions is that knowledge isn’t power, money is. There is precious little I could do with future knolewedge outside of personal/family matters without first using that knowledge to make as much money as possible.

Pennsylvania over a decade ago. Somehow I had managed to get on the wrong side of the freeway and when i realized (very little directional signage and no GPS), I took the next exit to find there was no corresponding on-ramp to get back on the otherside.

After some wandering I found a gas station, bought a map, and took side streets until I could get back on the main road.

Yep. Trying to maintain a consistent startmenu for computer labs with Windows 11 is annoying.

The layout is stored in an encrypted file that cannot be editted directly. You have to manually setup the start menu on one profile then copy the file to all the others. This works fine for intial deployments, but is a massive pain if you need to add any other apps later.

The old powershell commandlet for importing layouts does not work in Win11. The old group policy settings don’t work either. The actual DLL calls used by the end user to manually configuring the start menu are deliberatly coded to prevent being called from a script.

It is freaky how much work Microsoft has done to prevent scripting changes to the start menu.

The only officially supported method for an IT department to manage the start menu is intune, but microsoft’s device licensing for intune is a mess out folks have yet to figure out.

They encrypt the damn start menu and they cannot encrypt this?

Not if aren’t familiar with control characters. Might was well be three seashells…

My pet conspiracy theory that California does not exist. It was invented by democrats to pad their electoral votes. Any one who has traveled there actually went to a staged area in Oregon. Anyone who claims to live there is either brainwashed or in on it. Maps, globes, etc. have all been altered. Satellites have special software that adds California to its images. Spacecraft windows are actually screens that digitally alter earth to add California.

Once you consider that California is allegedly the location of Hollywood and movies often create convincing, fake worlds, it makes sense. Hollywood was created to take advantage of the tech developed to fake California and continue funding the conspiracy…

There is always money in the…

Imagine being chased by a t1000 when it suddenly stops and displays a message “you are out of t1000 credits. The t1000 will resume chasing you in four hours or you can opt to be chased by a t3.5 instead”

Many would leave lemmy entirely. Either because they barely used lemmy anyway or the communities they were most invested in were lost.

Some would fragment across multiple instances, especially if the communities do so.

The bulk would probably move together to a single instance “annointed” as the new default.

Cups, teaspoons, and tablespoons in this context are standardized units of measure. It is very common to find at least one set of measuring cups and spoons in a US kitchen. Scales are uncommon.

I use both. For flour, scales are far, far superior. For sugar, it does not really seem to matter. For small amounts, I suspect my tea/tablespoons might be more accurate than my scale…

Not that accuracy matters that much in a recipe using eggs. Chickens aren’t necessarily known for precision…

Anxiety (especially now that planes are oversold and standby passengers are nearby waiting to grab empty seats…), the need for overhead bin space, not wanting to have to climb over people, illogical impatience, etc.

Hmm. Does God know the largest prime? Does God know the last digit of pi?
