That’s also where the concept of a “barbershop quartet” came from. Dentists would have the aforementioned quartet singing loudly outside of their shop to drown out the screaming of patients inside.

ShaunaTheDead@fedia.ioto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•How to go about getting delisted DLC from Steam?14·7 months agoYou can download specific DLCs but I’m not entirely sure they’ll be useable. It’s worth a try. Here’s how you do it:
Open a web browser and type in steam://open/console and it should open the Steam console inside of Steam itself. Type
download_depot <game_id> <depot number>
for Rocksmith the game id is 205190 and you can look up the specific DLC you want on steamdbSo for example, the Pearl Jam Song Pack could be downloaded using
download_depot 205190 222139
Rocksmith’s DLC SteamDB page: https://steamdb.info/app/205190/dlc/
If this DLC has been disabled as you said, this might not work, or you might need to make sure that Steam doesn’t try to update the game (which would disable the DLC again). You can do that by browsing to ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/ (assuming you’re on Linux, or just wherever your “steamapps” folder is on your PC) and find the file called
appmanifest_205190.acf
and set it to read only. That should prevent Steam from modifying any changes you’ve made to the game. Just remember to set it back to writable if you want to update the game again.The game might not recognize the DLC as I said, but you should be able to access the files anyway if that’s all you wanted. They’ll be in
../steamapps/downloading
at least until the download is complete, then it should try to apply the DLC to the game, which might cause the files to get deleted. I’m not entirely sure about that.
ShaunaTheDead@fedia.ioto Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml•Oh boy what a beautiful regex. I'm sure it does something logical and easy to understand.2·7 months agoIt matches for non-primes and doesn’t match for primes.
For negativity bias my wife just told me a great technique that she uses for that. Come up with a list of people whose opinions matter to you. Any time you question yourself, imagine how each person on that list would react to what you did. Since those are the only people whose opinions matter to you, if it’s mostly positive, then you should feel proud of your choice.
There are a lot of women that love fat guys. Ignoring the haters and wearing what you like is hot AF.
I’m gay, but if I were straight I would be with a fat guy over any other guy, 100%.
ShaunaTheDead@fedia.ioto Gaming@beehaw.org•Proton is the Future of PC gaming. But how does it work? [Gardiner Bryant, YouTube]3·8 months agoAnother thing that wasn’t mentioned in the video that Proton does is it also – sometimes, depending on the game – checks a list of known requirements for a game and installs them through winetricks, or makes other recommended changes to game files that are known to make the game work.
When Proton is updated and the patch notes mention that a game was fixed, it’s something to do with this part of the process. A certain library, or whatever was missing and Proton installs it for you behind the scenes.
It also runs WINE through Steam’s launcher (aka Steam Linux Runtime) which has some common redistributables (aka Steamworks SDK Redist) built right into it, and it also runs appropriate anti-cheat solutions (aka Proton EasyAntiCheat Runtime or Proton BattlEye Runtime).

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.
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.
If you open
/usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.icon/main.qml
and search forline
there’s a section calledPlasmaExtras.ShadowedLabel
which seems to correspond with icon text and there’s a linemaximumLineCount: 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 thePlasmaExtras.ShadowedLabel
and see if that fixes it.
It was a disc and the trees were able to be interacted with face to face so I think those are inexplicable except for “they’re magic”.
There’s a wikipedia article with some depictions actually right here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Trees_of_Valinor#Creation
Yeah, you’d have to get up high at least.
Elves in LOTR have technically infinite vision because the world used to be flat and illuminated by two glowing trees that resided in Valinor. Because the world was flat, and Elves have essentially perfect vision at any distance, they could actually see things that were on the opposite side of the world.
After Morgoth (aka Melkor, aka the evil god that Sauron worships) and Ungoliant (the mother of Shelob, the spider that nearly kills Frodo) destroyed the trees then the world was made into a globe and Elves infinite vision ability, while still useful, wasn’t quite as powerful as before.
ShaunaTheDead@fedia.ioto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•August 30th 2024. America adopts the metric system. Never forget.39·9 months agoWhile you’re at it, switch over to DD/MM/YYYY for the date format. The only 2 configurations that make sense is that or YYYY/MM/DD. Either go general to specific or specific to general, MM/DD/YYYY makes no sense.
Why would they be hostile to that idea? It allows you to run the VPN only on your browser instead of your entire system which is sometimes preferable.
lol right, I totally forgot to explain that barbers often did surgery and dentistry.
