Affluenza seems to be the more common term, but either way I don’t think the officials take proposals on Lemmy. You can submit it here for the DSM (US) or here for the ICD (Europe, UK, and a few others) though

It should - American police are trained in Israeli tactics. Some US states like New York and Georgia literally send cops to Israel to learn protest suppression.

That would be healthier, but it’s no wonder you were disappointed with the results. The stickiness of the dates would definitely let you lower the fat content, but replacing all of that with water is going to give a very different texture.

To mimic the texture of the saturated fats, you’d do better to use olive oil or the avocado oil you suggested and store the result in the refrigerator. Both of those solidify at refrigerator temperatures the way the saturated fats do at room temperature - canola doesn’t, so that won’t work as well.

Replacing the powdered milk with oats (which would also help a little with gelling the mixture) is good, but don’t forget to add a pinch of salt that is inherent in cow’s milk but the oats are lacking.

You’ll still not be getting the flavor exactly, but those two substitutions should get you a lot closer and a much more similar texture. The walnuts in particular are definitely going to throw you off though. You could reduce the cocoa powder slightly to make up for the extra bitterness, but they would still add a heavier earthy flavor to the mix that people used to milk rather than dark chocolate probably won’t find appealing.

Sorry about the LLM thing - I literally thought “boyfriend” here was used with a wink and a nod to mean an LLM in the same way that people on some forums say “my dog” to mean themselves.

As far as not knowing what I’m talking about though, I’ve spent times on both sides of the Atlantic and used both rooftop and ground based solar where appropriate (though not grid tied) to good effect.

Rebutting your LLM’s points:

1. “Older” houses in much of Europe are often made of stone, newer are frequently cinderblock, and the roof beams in both are massive. They’re holding up tile and slate roofs - the weight of solar panels is a rounding error, and not the concern it is with shoddy US stick-frame construction. So if that’s the “main reason” we’re doing pretty well already.

2. Sub-optimal angle just means the panel doesn’t produce AS MUCH power as it theoretically could. Not that it produces none, and many sub-optimal placements are still financially viable. Beyond that, any south-facing roof available is going to do very well.

3. Fire risks are again much lower on the very common hard-surface roofs. And that same space that allows the oxygen in also separates the fire from the roof, so the only things burning are the panels themselves and the fire soesn’t spread as it might with a ground-based installation which, by the way, also has air under the panels and are often over grass.

4. Higher installation and maintenance costs are partially offset by the fact that the cost of land purchase and taxes are €0. That was already covered by the building’s main use. Then you can add the social and financial benefit of keeping those fields in food production. Moving away from animal agriculture would not only mean more food available locally, but also for export as crop yields in other places fall due to climate change.

Finally, the whole framing presents a false dichotomy. This doesn’t have to be an either-or proposition - both-and is an option. We can have solar panels on buildings AND in fields. We can convert growing fields from feed production to food production AND put solar panels on the former pig farms that can’t support crops. Particularly in warmer climates (maybe less applicable in Denmark) we can even raise the solar panels a bit higher AND still grow crops underneath (Agrivoltaics)!

Before going to Flatpak just for newer versions of software, consider APT pinning. You can actually use testing or Sid packages on more stable versions of Debian while still keeping the advantages of Debian-specific packages.

Remember folks, the S in IOT stands for Security!

Don’t say that - he will.

In the US it is absolutely a tipped position, and has been for decades.

“Meditation” is a very broad term, and there are many types and approaches. Some of these, such as the admonition to quiet your mind and stop all thoughts, are designed to induce a crisis that leads to an insight.

Meditation is about directing attention, and is called “practice” for a reason. Many people think that each time their mind wanders and they lose track of their meditative focus they have failed, but that is exactly backward. Each time you notice your attention bas wandered and you bring it back to your focus you have succeeded!

Advice from a long time sysadmin: You’re probably asking the wrong question. ncdu is an efficient tool, so the right question is why it’s taking so long to complete, which is probably an underlying issue with your setup. There are three likely answers:

1. This drive is used on a server specifically to store very large numbers of very small files. This probably isn’t the case, as you’d already know that and be looking at it in smaller chunks.
2. You have a network mount set up. Use the -x option to ncdu to restrict your search to a single filesystem, or --exclude to exclude the network mount and your problem will be solved (along with the traffic spike on your LAN).
3. You have a single directory with a large number of small files that never get cleared, such as from an e-mail deadletter folder or a program creating temp files outside of the temp directories. Once a certain number of files is reached, accessing a directory slows down dramatically. The following command will find it for you (reminder - make sure you understand what a command does before copying it into a terminal, DOUBLY so if it is run as root or has a sudo in it). Note that this will probably take several times as long to run as ncdu because it’s doing several manipulations in series rather than in parallel.

sudo find $(grep '^/' /etc/fstab | awk '{print $2}') -xdev -type f -exec dirname {} \; | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | head

If they are temp files or otherwise not needed, delete them. If they’re important, figure out how to break it into subdirectories based on first letter, hash, or whatever other method the software creating them supports.

Unless you’re cheap like me and buy the brush yourself.

Nope.

Fireplace is a mistake - it will make most of the house colder. What you want is a wood stove, and a simple metal chimney is much cheaper than the brick one you’re imagining.

Also, a shed isn’t needed - make a round pile (shaker pile or holzhauzen) and shingle it with the bark (or a tarp if you’re lazy). Drying takes 6-9 months, not a year, but I like not to be rushed so I try to keep two piles - one I’m building over the warm months, and when the cold months come I pull from the other that had a year to season.

As for space, they don’t take much. A 6’ tall cylinder with a 5’’ radius holds about 4 cords once the cone on top is taken into account. I find a 4’ radius easier to manage, but that’s closer to 2.5 cords.

Thinkpads are not what they once were. I finally gave up on them, moved over to a Framework, and haven’t regretted it.
