Mother fuck fucking user permissions on folders in Windows I want to throw this fucking box out the window. Why the fuck do they make shit so complicated?
"Can't enumerate shit in this window"
"This permissions doodad is corrupt"
When I finally get it working after the 18th try the fucking folder I'm looking for isn't even in there.
- to be fair. i had permission problem on mac as well.pango
- Me too, but less than 1% of the difficulty in resolving them compared to Windows.5timuli
- Why are you changing permissions to being with?drgs
- Trying to slack off work by playing Forza Horizon 5. I want to add through Steam so I can play with PS5 Dualsense controller.5timuli
- all the files in a folder including sub folders all got it's permission mysteriously changed. had to buy a bulk permission editor.pango
- Permissions on Windows is just shite********
- well from aspect of permission editor. ya it's pretty bad on windows. so i generally try not to mess with them. but my mac's permission still messed up evenpango
- when i haven't messed with them at all.pango

Is it me, or is HDR just brighter whites? Not much more than turning up a screen to insane max brightness but the contrast still holds up....
- ...which means it's also darker blacks. that's what high d range stands for.uan
- HDR usually means darker whites and brighter darks********
- ^ HDR video. Also yeah the darker blacks are nice.... But I dunno, all seems like yet another way for manufacturers to sell people new TV's.inteliboy
- It’s extended range and it’s not purely a gimmick.monospaced
- It means brighter brights (limited by backlighting tech) and darker darks (if possible).monospaced

Re: Thanksgiving
Spent the day with the dogs and only had ramen, later went out with friends and played dominoes at a bar until they kicked us out, ended up in a rooftop garden co-op that had a fancy old car turned into a planter growing rosemary (stole a few sprigs). I was cleaning up some trash in the spot and a security guard showed up, and it's me with a beer can in my hand so I booked it and re-littered the can. Just trying to do a good deed. I somehow didn't take any photos, but I plan on going back.
Hangovers and blurriness are rampant, but I finally had Turkey Day food for lunch, and yes I ate out of the pan.

Hey boys, anyone here practice harmonica ? what should I get if I want to learn harmonica?

- @Brabo_Brabo uh, thanks for the cheap Chinese hookers advicejagara
- i play harmonica pretty well. the hardest part starting out is playing a single note. Hohner Blues Harp in the keys of D or C are good for learning bending.sarahfailin
- Get a beginner harmonica book and learn from that. Try improvising simple melodies you know like twinkle, twinkle little star, etc. With practice you'll ...sarahfailin
- ...learn to intuit where the notes are. then you can start to focus on tone, vibrato, and heavy bending. all starts with playing just one note at a time!!sarahfailin
- if you REALLY want to play, learn the tongue-blocking method. I pucker like a chump, but it gets the job done.sarahfailin

Power has only recently been restored in my town today after a huge storm caused chaos all along the east coast of Scotland.
Great waves along the shore and a tree fell from the memorial garden blocking a main pathway oh and the local Chinese restaurant sign fell down, but other than that we got off easy.

Gotta love London sometimes.
Went out to Angel to have dinner with my folks who are passing through, went to a fucking Georgian restaurant* of all things (food was great), came back and passed someone having a big Marie Kondo-esque clear-out, so now I have a telescope.
- Wow I used to go to this place when it was (only?) in Hackney. We're going back a 15+ years... they still do Khachapuri which was deeee bloody licious.MrT
- Was back in Hackney this weekend, had a pint in one of my fav old boozers and got a great Turkish.. No telescope thou!dee-dubs
- Astrobiscuit on YouTube is a great channel to start with for low end scope stuff - and he's based in London.Centigrade
- @MrT - my folks were practically damping themselves eating the khachapuri! Very nice. It was all very tasty, moreso than I imagined it'd be.Nairn
- Was wondering what was so special about Georgian food thinking you were meaning the TIME rather than the PLACE. realised when I clicked the link. hahamicrokorg
- lol historical food. Nairn I'm a little jealous, that sounds exactly how MrsT and I felt - surprised how tasty it all was and so went back for more.MrT

I have been in a container for the past two weeks, in a retreat mostly disconnected from the outside world, working on rising our frequencies and slowing down.
Came back yesterday, at this moment real life looks unnecessarily panicked and restless.
Work on rising your frequencies so you don't get carried away and distracted from expansion and feeling more alive.
- Well done!OBBTKN
- Is this pseudoscience?Morning_star
- Happy for you and all. Did someone convince you your frequency is low, and is that why you felt compelled to raise it? Serious question.monospaced
- No, not at all.palimpsest
- Can you go above 1000? like 2000drgs
- Mine was serious too. What are my 'frequencies'?, where are they?, what units are the number? Hrtz? What's expanded or contracted?Morning_star
- There is a Planck length to enlightenment. Pretty sure you can’t go over 1000Gnash
- You need to be at least a Level Five Laser Lotus to understand these things.palimpsest
- I got my science badge as a scout, will that help?Morning_star
- @mono I went there out of a need. Realized that all the emotions associated with lower freqs were dominating my life. And the shift happened along withBeeswax
- new pathways or clear directions suddenly appearing. I realized the importance of magnetismBeeswax
- @morning_s I think it can be measured by EEG brain scan bu I dont think this chart is in Hz. I feel the shift in vibration in all over my body not only in brainBeeswax
- Cool and all, but that's not what I asked. Who convinced you that you have a frequency that needs raising? How did they measure it?monospaced
- What is the importance of magnetism in this context, and what exactly are you doing magnetically?monospaced
- also expansion is in consciousness. It's like looking at things from high above and interrelating instead of reacting. It has a peaceful and loving quality.Beeswax
- Mushrooms?monospaced
- Takes courage to sit in the uncomfort and look within. Props to you beeswax.sea_sea
- Takes courage to filter out the noise as well. Just like it takes courage to open up here knowing the level of snark that abounds. Lol carry on ;)sea_sea
- I'm fine with people self diagnosing low orgone levels when people self diagnose having had Covid or Celiac disease.palimpsest
- glad you found a religion that works for you.sarahfailin
- @ Beeswax. ThanksMorning_star
- Are you calling legitimate questions about the truth of this “noise?”monospaced
- Frequencies and magnetism are very well understood and measurable. So you’d think there was some sort of connection to physical reality at some point?monospaced
- love this. unfortunately in this fucked up world, to be rich and successful you need to aim for the bottom._niko
- Is there a device to measure your frequency objectively?drgs
- @MorningS that graph is a translation to market it better in the western world. and the translation is a bit inaccurate. so yes, pseudo science.uan
- though the roots of that knowledge is based in scientific methods looking and mapping the human mind.uan
- @drgs the device is your Wahrnehmung in German. basically your body and your perception in it.uan
- @uan, I don't think somonospaced
- So, these frequencies and vibrations, are they the same thing that the scientologists 'test' on their e-meters?Morning_star
- How does one "work on" a frequency, and how do you confirm the work ... worked? Is it measured or is it just how you feel?monospaced
- So wait, is this like a New Age Taoist exorcism thing? Whatever placebo makes you feel happier, but in the end we're just sacks of meat and bone.garbage
- @Beeswax... this guy has been killing it regarding magnetism https://www.youtube.…keewee
- The fuck is going on in here?5timuli
- beyond lightspeed is my favourite frequency.neverscared
- The practice of mindfulness is powerful stuff but i find it hard to operate in that mode for long or in certain situations like working in an agencyscarabin
- I guess that’s why they call it practicescarabin
- They feed us poison. So we take their 'cures'. While they suppress our medicine.palimpsest
- its hard because people who are operating in that mode are rare to find...neverscared
- practice and discipline. it's not like you get there and stay there forever. the monks do it every day to get there and it wears out during the day.uan
- you should try it @mono. maybe start by thinking about what happens when you understand something. (it's just a positive sensation inside yourself)uan
- I practice mindfulness every day. It's essential to getting through life. Don't think it has anything to do with vibrations, magnets or expansion though.monospaced
- you find traces of in western science in philosophy and in theoretical physic, but basically we are not there yet. we don't have the concepts for it.uan
- Magnets. How do they work?drgs
- yeah, I don't think that's the issue :)monospaced
- youtube: sadhguru, krishnamurti, mantak chia, a channel called Meditation steps. they all spread that eastern ancient knowledge in modern times.uan
- Roger Penrose, Brian Muraresku, Stephen Wolfram and quite some more go into that hard problem of consciousness from a western scientific point of view.uan
- and I don't think it's 1 to 1 the same as electromagnetic fields, maybe more like quantum spooky stuff. we just don't know yet, we don't have the concepts yet.uan
- @mono No one convinced me about my freq. Simple awareness or journaling reveals whats going on inside. I dont care about those numbers or that orderBeeswax
- Wish I haven't posted the image and get you guys stuck at that unnecessary detail, scientific minds miss the point while looking at 2+2Beeswax
- And I have been to that retreat with that mind trying to analyze and find clear answers. Instead of answers I now can feel, am alive, energized, optimistic etcBeeswax
- maybe check out the concept of Vrittis: tendencies of the mind. it's how yoga (science) explains the centers of different emotions.uan
- great to hear beeswax, been looking to do something similar but don't know where to start or how to go about it really_niko
- and they center them around the chakras, which are ordered low to high related to evolutionary progression (basic instincts to higher conscious states of mind)uan
- You convinced yourself that the issue is a frequency one based on your feelings? Science is not an unnecessary detail if you're talking about these things.monospaced
- Everything you're feeling can be acheived through rest, relaxation, exercise and eating healthy, and that's scientifically backed.monospaced
- Sounds like that's what you did. I don't see why you need to connect it to psuedoscience of frequencies magnetism. That's just unnecessary noise.monospaced

I have to create a 300 x 50 px web ad gif for a client.
They keep saying it is low resolution. I am on an M1 Powerbook running PS 2022 and I just can't see the issue because its soooo damn small on my screen! There doesn't seem to be an option to open Photoshop in low resolution like the old days. What can i do?- view in browserfadein11
- zoom inmonospaced
- So is 200% zoom accurate to what I would see in a browser?Hayzilla
- I realise this is probably a really old issue but I'm new to a high resolution screen and latest photoshop.Hayzilla
- The client is always right: IT IS LOW RES but by design!grafician
- Anyway, export @2x or @3x it keeps the aspect ratio and if the client uploads that shit in an ad platform somewhere it will still be good and look sharpergrafician
- yupmonospaced
- yes, zoom in 200% and you'll see it at the same physical size as a browser will display it.uan

Anyone here in the States ever buy a car in a different state than you live only to be told you can't take possession of it w/out a valid state driver license FROM the state you purchased the car?!
About a week ago we did all the financing and was approved... the car was all set and in my name ready for us to drive away. Dude at the dealership then tells me I can't take possession of said vehicle without an IN-STATE license.
What?!!... Why??? huhhh? WHY THE FUCK YOU JUST GET ME FINANCING etc etc but I can't drive off the lot w/out an in-state license??
Tried to go to the DMV this morning and the fuckers want my birf certificate which is currently stored in a moving pod at the moving pod company's storage facility and I'm not allowed to rummage through said pod to dig it up...
... SOOO FUCKING STRESSSSFULLLL.
My wife can't take possession of the car either as her name wasn't on the fucking financing (and therefor they didn't put it on the title)... so I've had a $30K vehicle setup w/financing — a nice chunk of money as a down payment AND already the first payment has been taken via auto withdrawal...
... but I can't pick up the fucking car.
To request a new birf certificate from the state of Nevada I will need to wait up to at least 4 weeks for delivery (everything must be done via snail mail including me sending a money order to pay for it)... *sigh
- Sounds like the guy at the dealership needs an ass-kicking.Akagiyama
- I don't think I've ever heard of this. Nor can I find anything online to support it.duckseason
- You don't need a driver license to buy any car. I bought a car without a license last year, actually.monospaced
- It’s a financing contract issue?********
- Tell them to keep the car and cancel the financing. Then be calling your attorney as they can’t legally make you pay for a car you didn’t get? I have no clue.********
- Find a lawyer (non-local) that gives first session free. Then pay them to draft a letter and harass the dealership.********
- It’ll be cheaper and faster than getting a new license********
- This is the most stupid thing I've read in years... wt? Good luck with this Kev!OBBTKN
- I've basically only bought cars from other states. Never once seen this happen.section_014
- What does a driver’s license have to do w/ a vehicle purchase? Can you simply have a car broker/mover ‘in that state’ pick it up, deliver it to your doorstep?prophetone
- WOW what a $%#^ing nightmare... finally took possession of the car today... nearly 2.5 weeks after purchase. Fortunately found a way around the birf cert. by...PonyBoy
- ...using my in-laws home as 'our' home (as we're waiting for our apartment to be ready and we technically have no home until this weekend).PonyBoy
- Had to have my Father in-law right a letter stating he was my FUCKING LANDLORD and have the Town Clerk sign and certify it THEN have it notarized.PonyBoy
