That’s exactly what happened with Dr Death and why he wasn’t caught for such a long time.

Was it maybe The Fountain (2006) or some other Darren Aronofsky movie?

Surprisingly this one actually didn’t lead to someone being fired because the person was never found, but when I was a teenager I worked at a local retailer in Canada called Canadian Tire. The manager called everyone into the employee washrooms to show us that someone had scrawled “CT sucks” in human feces – presumably their own – on the inside of a toilet stall.

omg it wasn’t “Dr Death” aka Christopher Duntsch was it?

I think because “nukiuchi” would be pronounced like “NOO-KEE-OO-CHEE” and “nukitsuke” would be pronounced like “NOO-KEE-SOO-KEE” so kind of similar. I dunno though!

Katana’s are weak on the flat side. They aren’t really meant to be used for parrying. In fact, most sword fights in Japan would be over after the first or second swing. It was commonplace to hold the grip of a katana but not draw it in such a way so that your enemy has trouble judging how long your katana is and what is a safe distance to be from you. Once your opponent is in range, draw it quickly and kill them in one blow, ideally.

The act of killing your opponent in a single blow is called “nukitsuke” from “nukiuchi” meaning “to cut down an opponent” and “tsuke” meaning “to stop an opponent’s attack before it begins”.

The Sekiro and popular media image of extended katana fights didn’t really happen, but if they did, there would almost certainly be some broken katanas.

True, but I didn’t say he was the first, I said “one of the first”

Yeah I was gonna say that. He was famously single his entire life and is speculated to be one of the first historical examples of an asexual and aromantic person.

It’s possible to be queer and racist, unfortunately.

Hardest in a different way than you probably mean for me would be This War Of Mine. One of the first missions you basically have to stab an old man and his wife after you broke into their house. It’s rough.

The humanzee (sometimes chuman, manpanzee or chumanzee)

OMG you can’t just leave out the other nicknames! Chuman… LOL

Capitalism and Communism are bad, there is a middle ground which is better than both and most of the western world uses it. Have a largely free market, but also have socially funded services that wouldn’t work under a free market system like healthcare.

I don’t understand the appeal of foldable screen smart phones. Seems like nothing more than a gimmick to me.

If you open /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.icon/main.qml and search for line there’s a section called PlasmaExtras.ShadowedLabel which seems to correspond with icon text and there’s a line maximumLineCount: 2 you could try reducing that to 1 and it might fix your issue.

It looks like KDE Plasma is based on QT6 and the icons I believe are a QT6 Label so you can also add some styling to it yourself. Here’s the documentation for it: https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qml-qtquick-controls-label-members.html

There is a property called lineHeight so you could just add that to the PlasmaExtras.ShadowedLabel and see if that fixes it.

It’s weevil time!

Regardless of who owns the IP, it will open the flood gates of any company suing another for even just taking inspiration from one of their IPs.

While the designs were clearly inspired by Pokemon, I don’t think Nintendo has any leg to stand on in this case. The connection is flimsy at best., but I’m not a lawyer so I dunno, maybe there’s some legal loophole that Nintendo is banking on.

If this case goes in Nintendo’s favour, it could open the door for other lawsuits like Stardew Valley could get sued for infringing on Nintendo’s Harvest Moon IP, for example. I know that’s ludicrous but who knows, the law goes in unexpected directions sometimes.

Weird. I was just having an issue with pamac and started using paru as a backup and paru is working fine last I checked.

OK I get that we’re joking here, but just for my sanity… It’s 3 people right? Like it’s 2 people standing behind the 1 person in the foreground, right?

If your nose happens to get plugged from allergies, this could be dangerous. You would probably wake up before suffocating but I’m not a doctor so I dunno.

I have heard that some CPAP machines have a foam that degrades and makes it’s way into people’s lungs which is scary. And they aren’t even necessarily cheap CPAP machines. Just, buyer beware on that front too.

I think everyone should just be making whatever decision is right for them and their circumstances.
