recently learned that walruses hardly have teeth. they suck clams right out of their shells using their tongues to create a vacuum. AND they can suck skin, fat and meat off of seals too. so walruses are not the safe hugs you might think.

    somewhat similar technique from mississippi guitarist RL Burnside. brush downstroke with the index finger, and upstroke, with the thumb downstroke. But Burnside anchors his hand below the neck while Kachamba has a freer strumming motion.

    lenovo. replaced my old dell precision laptop with a T480 and I'm loving it.

    dell pros:

    • fast
    • solid gpu for the time
    • clean look
    • came with linux.

    dell cons:

    • battery swelled up, made the trackpad and keyboard not work. replaced the battery a lot.
    • keyboard wore out well before lenovo
    • chassis screws fell out and then the hinge broke as a result. this is not a thing with lenovo.
    • front edge was too sharp and slightly cut into my wrists. not a show stopper but annoyed me the whole time I owned it.

    For your situation 16G may be adequate. But 24 is better.

    Uploaded a photo to make a post, was uploading another one for another post and it stalled out. Now trying to refresh the page, but it never loads.

    I'm able to access mastodon.social from another browser, and from an android app. So doesn't appear that the site is down or its an account level block.

    Is there some policy that blocks people uploading things? Can I expect to be unblocked one day?

     

    I'd like a metronome with the ability to give a count-in and quit, just to start a tune at the right tempo.

    So you'd select a tempo, say 120, and then click a "count-in" button or similar, and you get something like a 1.. 2.. 1 2 3 4 count in, but it doesn't keep ticking after that.

    There are a lot of metronomes on FDroid, anyone know if one of them does this?
