I was a smart stupid kid, and a bit of a pyro. I had figured out putting oxygen on a fire made it bigger but I didn’t have a concept of an oxidizer, I thought it was a fuel like propane/butane. So I cranked up the oxygen bottle and put a lighter to the end of the tube thinking it would make a little blow torch. It did, but not in the way I was expecting.

And for anyone wondering, I was able to get the app working in linux pretty easily (installed via Bottles as a “productivity app”).

3·14 hours agoI was able to install it through Bottles as a “productivity app” and it worked right out of the box (Fedora 43). Haven’t 100% function checked it yet, but so far so good.
It wasn’t that bad. It was more like a 40 foot long, angry firework fuse. I was able to eventually stomp it out before my childhood took a drastic turn for the worse. It was one of the things that piqued my interest in physics/chemistry.
As a dumbass kid, I lit my grandmas oxygen tube on fire. It was wild; oxidizers are no joke.
That’s a great way to get zero pain killers for the rest of the trip.
Waking up during surgery be damned, I will never admit to smoking pot to another doctor.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•How to make Linux Mint recognize controllers with extra buttonsEnglish
4·5 days agoI’ve got the Pro 2 Wired and those extra triggers aren’t extra buttons. You can remap any of the other controller buttons to these extra triggers. But then you lose functionality on whatever button you remapped to that trigger. So you don’t actually gain 2 extra buttons. You can just move where they are at. I was disappointed with this; and hoping a future firmware update fixes it. And I think the 2 small extra face buttons are just for profile switching and programming. Not sure if you can remap those to do something else.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you make a grocery list, or do you just go to the store and wing it?English
1·6 days agoI hear that all the time. Including from coworkers in the same area. I guess I’ve just been lucky. I keep track of it and my messed up items (wrong flavor/expired/opened/damaged) is like 2-3%. Which is probably better than my own track record TBH.
But I also do my best to lessen the burden on the shoppers. I try to keep it simple, I try to pick slow times & nice weather, I try to tip well.

21·6 days agoI’ve rarely been in a grocery store since covid. Once they rolled out order online and pick it up later, I’m never willingly going back.
So I guess that counts as making a list.
Looking back on your past and cringing just means you are growing as a person.

10·7 days ago“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” ― Carl Sagan

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the most unusual way you've made some extra money?English
15·11 days agoCleaning the underside of rich people’s boats. I didn’t have access to actual scuba gear so I would snorkel around disgusting harbors, holding my breath and scraping/scrubbing barnacles off by hand.
Wasn’t bad money, but it was gross. People weren’t supposed to release their sewage in the harbor. But they did. Thankfully only did that a couple times before finding much better work.

Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•What was the last dvd/cd your burned? do you still use such media?English
2·12 days agoI used to work at a car audio store. I’ve installed literal hundreds of them. I guess it’s better than nothing; but I would almost rather sing to myself. The only decent ones are the ones that physically plug inline with your antenna. The broadcast style are so limited in power that they don’t work very well with the crowded local FM band (I swear some of these stations are broadcasting way above their limit)
I guess I am probably pickier than most when it comes to sound quality.

I more meant the jet powered flaming snake flipping around on the floor setting the place on fire. We didn’t believe in fire retardants back then.
