A button press has 2 distinct actions, a press and a release. The button gets pressed but not let go, so half is a perfectly cromulent way to describe it.

This might not be quite what you mean, but I used the charger from a Garmin Forerunner watch as a pogo clamp to test computer mice PCBs at one point. I just checked the clip, it has the same pitch as the tracks on a USB socket. You could, theoretically, rip the USB plug off by breaking the joints going from the plug to the board, then clip the watch charger onto the pads left behind to access the data. As long as you can connect the 4 wires the plug goes to you can access the data, it is all stored on a data chip on a different part of the circuit board. The only issue practically is that the pins might be reversed depending on how the clip is oriented, but that's easy to hand-wave in a story.

American here, you guys have a huge number here on your side. We need another 1814 in a really bad way.

I have the best results using BBs. Metal BBs, not airsoft pellets.

It does, it means no value, as in priceless.

Get this, those billionaires control the production and distribution of these basic necessities, and attributing a monetary figure to it is the problem. It doesn't cost money, it costs labor. You get the labor in exchange for fun stuff. This is the crux of the issue. We need a system that can't be gamed to incentivize hoarding whatever it is we use to denote the worth of labor, as cash does today.

It has nothing to do with cost, it has to do with ridding the problem of the people hoarding the excess wealth for the benefit of an arbitrary group. Where the labor comes do the profits go. If a private individual puts in labor, and that generates a profit from itself, then yeah, they get that. They earned that. The nuance is that they have a community, infrastructure, all of the things supporting their ability to do anything, so any profit comes from the community in some fashion.

We need to get rid of systems of hoarding. 100% tax above whatever 100x the poverty line is, for everyone, that gets dumped into government coffers to subsidize all essential labor. This incentivizes the extra profits to go to the UBI coffers instead of individuals while still giving a huge ceiling to make extra money for labor that generates profit.

I'm just reiterating what Marx was saying. We need to stop focusing on the money aspect and focus on the labor.

Well, I would start by booting from the GRUB command line. Using the install media can work to fix the system, but this is getting into chroot territory and there is no reason to believe the system isn't working. Just not booting. Much simpler to use the grub rescue terminal to force a boot, then run all of the grub goodness from there. Basically, if it boots from the disk in rescue it guarantees grub/efi is mounted where it needs to be, from there grub-install on its own should just work. Also, make sure the config you are feeding grub-install is set to output a boot option. When in doubt use the default config, it should work fine.

Fine, I'll be the guy. Sounds like grub-install isn't writing the configuration to the right place. My first check would be what grub config is being used, then work on replacing that with the one generated by grub-install.

Salmiak? It's a licorice coated in ammonium chloride, which gives it a distinct salt/tang flavor. Probably not what they are looking for, but delicious nonetheless.

Which is very much OSRS. PvP is what single-handedly holds up the game economy there, while mega-rares and discontinued items prop it up in RS3.

Paper Carriage: Out of paper. Load Letter Size/A4 paper.

PC: LOAD LETTER

You know what would make more sense?

NO PAPER

Fuck printers.

You will probably be best served with an industrial label printer, I used one while working in a grocery store to make tags. They come in toner varieties, so no thermal paper issues, and they are made to be portable. That being said, they are not at all cheap or simple. You are wanting to look into two companies, Zebra and Symbol, specifically at their mobile printers.

To be fair, what you are asking for is nigh impossible without going thermal, and the reason can be summed up by one question: Where do you plan on putting the ink?

The problem wouldn't be fixed even then. The jewelery companies have people convinced that the only diamonds that are worth it are mined from the earth by a real human slave. Fixing that problem has nothing to do with gemstones.

UART consoles and model train control systems come to mind.

I would like to point out that actors are usually contractually obligated to maintain a specific appearance. Stamos may literally have not been able to shave his head in solidarity, so while seemingly noncommittal I think there could be more to the gesture. As you say, Dave is the only authority on the matter either way.

It may be inherently flawed, but we can't just arbitrarily emit wavelengths of light with current technology. Realistically I doubt we ever could, we would need to alter the emission energies of materials on the fly, which would be akin to actual magic. It is frankly amazing it works as well as it does notwithstanding.

The problem with this is primarily that windows uses NTFS as it's filesystem. Being proprietary, NTFS has never played well with Linux and installing it to an NTFS partition is regarded as a genuinely terrible idea. Converting partitions safely is nearly impossible to do in place.

The ancient Romans made it a point to not buy slaves from the asbestos mines due to their poor health, it has been known for far too long that asbestos is harmful. It also happens to be insanely useful.

Chantix, and yeah, that's probably it. I had the most vivid dreams on it.

You don't need a modchip to get a HDD to work, you can flash the drive with FreeHDBoot and just plug it in to the PS2.
