Both answers to @PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca seem to imply there’s a hidden insult in their comment, but I can’t find it. I’m the dumb cookie and I don’t like that

I don’t get it…

I forgot: I called two more times recently because my phone screen would not turn on, and apparently there’s a setting in LineageOS to call the emergencies if you fiddle with the buttons, so as to make the situation even worse, and then there’s a voice telling you you’re about to talk to someone and you can’t hang up! (Edit: I suppose they would call back in any case).
Happened twice before I found the setting. So yeah, I wasted their time, again.

15 years ago, young student, I’m walking home around midnight. In the middle of a bridge I see a human shape jumping in the water. I’m not 100% sure. I ask a group of people further up on the bridge if they saw anything, they didn’t, but said I still should call 112.

One or two police cars came, and then one (or 2?) fire truck. Lots of people. Some went with full diving equipment in the water.

They couldn’t find anyone, said it was surprising as the water was very low. The fireman captain gave me the stinkeye.

Police had left their lightbar on and the car wouldn’t start (I think that was the reason) so I helped to push.

I had to come to the police station and tell what I saw many, many times.
Only years later did I realize I was being interrogated, to find out if my story had holes. I was quite naive (dumb works too).

I wasn’t drunk, depressed, or had any kind of weird fantasies that would make me want to invent a story. It’s the only time I called the cops in my life.

All cops were friendly, even though they must’ve thought I was lying or had too much imagination.

Did someone jump? Now I think not. But at the time I really thought there was a possibility, and I wouldn’t take any chances. I just didn’t realize how many people and resources would be involved.

How fast was that fucker driving again? in a residential area, with “watch out for the kids” signs if I remember correctly.

Edit: 96 in a 35 mph zone

I was living with roommates clueless about house maintenance stuff.
So one day I explain we should purge the radiators. Did I forget to say "purge the air"? I dont know. But the bucket I told em to use to catch water spilling one roommate thought was supposed to be used to empty the radiators. I was on the computer and saw him from the corner of my eye go empty his bucket a few times before I caught on.

I checked the drive’s health with badblocks tonight, which wiped everything unfortunately.
Then I tried another distro (Ubuntu) and the issue was gone.

I didn’t check the hash for failing files, but I downloaded with rsync also and the issue still happened.

Thank you very much for your help though. When I find the time I’ll reinstall Fedora, and if the issue repeats itself I’ll do more tests.

Yeah I thought of checking dmesg too late, I was already running the - destructive - badblocks command…
It is finishing I think, and found zero errors.
My plan now is to install a different distribution to see if it makes a difference. I the error reappears I’ll remember to check the logs.

Browsing and streaming no issues. Or any other daily computer task, all fine. No weird behavior, lags or freezes, nothing.

I’ve checked the source files, they’re ok. I’ve even downloaded them from another computer, and transferred them on the Thinkpad with a USB stick, and they can be opened normally. Downloads are coming from various websites, a VPS, a local server.

badblock run

I’ll do that now.
Thanks for the help!!!

As a reward Tako received a crab, and gets to stay in its box forever! <3

I know she pasteurizes some foods and sterilizes others, don’t know which for jams

All sorts really. She’s a farmer also. She gives me a lot and I tend to forget them in the fridge. I can tell you plum jam has mold.

She adds little sugar, maybe that’s a reason.

Comments saying contact the manufacturer, the state health services…
Or chill, remove the mold, smell, taste, if everything seems good eat it. Inform the store.

I’ve googled it just to be sure, and it’s safe.

*not a doctor

My moms jams do get moldy though.

… Am I still on lemmy?
The whole thread is a corporate talk and Apple Steam fan mix. Your first paragraph…

We’re discussing a monopoly, and all I am reading is how good a product they’re making.

Shouldn’t the discussion also be about their costs, margins?
Is the market difficult to enter by its nature? How much would the users and developers benefit from more competition?

And I still dont know their cut.

Why isn’t their cut mentioned? This seems like the most important information.

My tplink archer has been running it for 5 years or more without issue*

Hint: it’s a rock leopard

I’m the same. But of course I do daily the parts where the sun don’t shine.

Some people really do smell more than others, with the same washing habits.

I myself prefer a slight body odor in others, even light sweat (not stink!). Although some perfumes smell really good. But that agressive deodorant smell I hate.

For all that leftist talk, lemmy is as billionaire-polluter-taxoptimizer-celebrity starstruck as everywhere else. On the bright side, since you’re a bit slow she might send some pocket change your way.
