There are so many other reasons to lose patience with some of my coworkers, tech illiteracy is nowhere near the top of the list. If anything, I like helping people with tech.

In the US, a conductor is the one who checks tickets, makes announcements, and delegates tasks to the crew to help ensure things keep moving on time.

The locomotive engineer is the one who is “driving” the train. They run the engine and communicate with dispatch and traffic control to keep them informed where this particular train is fitting into the overall juggling act,. They also make every effort to keep things safe (watching for signals, obstructions, etc.).

I’m not 100% sure if the terminology is different outside of the Us.

It’s about 7%. That is a lot.

The real question is, what is the overall population growth rate compared with before? I wonder how many people are leaving TX, or (more likely) deciding to not move to TX, compared with previous years.

Be warned, safety razor shaving can become a rabbit hole if you’re not careful. I’ve spent a fair bit of coin on various razors, brushes, soaps, blades, and numerous other accessories. I was pretty settled on my setup for the last 2 years, but really wanted to try a lighter weight razor (aluminum or titanium). These have historically been very expensive. I stumbled upon this Henson AL13 razor and decided to try it out. Still expensive for me at roughly $80, but much cheaper than options I was looking at a few years back.

It’s been a couple of months now, and I am extremely happy with it. Compared with my previous razor (Karve Christopher Bradly, which I was very happy with) I barely even feel this razor on my skin, but it gets just as clean of a shave. I have very sensitive skin, so this is a blessing for me. 100% recommend.

These aren’t necessarily my favorite quotes, but they are the two I find myself referencing almost daily in my work life.

“We never seem to have the time to do it right, yet we always seem to find the time to do it twice.”

“You can save hours of planning with weeks of work.”

I’ll make this more extreme as a means of illustrating the point everyone else seems to be trying to get across…

Russia is a nation full of parents who love their children, artists and musicians creating interesting and new art, and rebels developing creative and novel approaches for resisting their fascist government. But, when people say that “Russia sucks”, those aren’t the reasons.

How much land, and where?

I’m just some idiot on the internet who doesn’t know what I’m talking about, but…

Is it possible this isn’t a mistake? If you’re going to try to win a trial through corruption and wrongdoings, it seems easier to illicitly win over (and have it stay quiet) one person than half of a jury, no?

As of Aug 26, 2023, Windows command prompt absolutely does not recognize “ls” as a command.

Powershell is a different story.

Source: I type “ls” 40 times a day into a command prompt on my up-to-date win10 PC at work.

If this is already possible and I’m just not finding it, I’d be very happy to be mistaken and learn the method. Otherwise, this is something I used all the time on the old site with Apollo and I miss, desperately.

Even with this post, I couldn’t find a way to search the VoyagerApp community to see if this feature was already asked for.

Is there any way to go back to the old icon? I’ve been trying to figure out a way to hack it into place, and I’m sure I can with enough time, but it would be nice if there is just a switch somewhere in settings that I’m missing.

God damn. Hoisted by my own petard!

Anyone know a Lemmy equivalent of r/woosh?

I hope this isn’t breaking any rules here. I’ve been struggling with a personal web project for the past week, and I’m hoping some smart people here could get me pointed in the right direction.

I’ve already posted a full explanation in another community here, with some informational comments.

Long story slightly shorter… trying to get a website that is great for scoring a tennis match, and making it work offline so I can have it run locally on an offline machine. For some reason that I can’t figure out, the js refuses to work as expected.

First, I thought there may have been a CORS issue. And, the js is checking the protocol and changing it from “file” to “http” (see comments in like above). I worked past this issue, but it's still not really working.

Now, I can see the first action of the “score” function is working (it logs to console), but nothing after that does anything at all, and I can’t figure it out!

Edit: A very kind person (what’s the lemmy equivalent for “redditor”?) offered some insight through a DM that got me on the right track! I won’t put all the details here because it could be considered borderline “unethical” if the wrong person was trying to follow my path. Thanks to that person and to the community! Ive learned a lot in the past weeks.

I'll try to make this as short as I can, but with enough info to make sense. Be warned, I am not a programmer or developer by any means. I'm just a hobbyist who spends a lot of time trying to learn on my own.

I'm looking to save "https://scorecount.com/tennis/" locally on a PC so that it can be used offline. I've done the normal "right click, save as" routine in both Firefox and Chrome, which saves the main page (I save it with the name "tennis") as well as a similarly named folder that contains the js, css, and image files. (so, in my case... "tennis.html" and a folder called "tennis_files")

When I try open the tennis.html file, my browser eventually gets to a "we're having trouble finding that site" message. The URL it's trying to reach in the URL bar is "https://driveLetter/path/on/local/drive/tennis.html", instead of the more expected "file:///driveLetter/path/on/local/drive/tennis.html".

I believe I've narrowed this down to something in the tennis.js file (which gets renamed to "tennis.js.download" when I save the page locally). If I remove this file, the page loads, but of course it doesn't actually work. I think something in there is redirecting the URL, but now that the file is saved locally the path it's creating and trying to reach doesn't work.

I've tried going through the js, deciphering all of the array references as best I can, but I'm not able to figure out where this is happening. I'm hoping someone can throw me a lifeline. Thanks in advance!
