Try searching for a "cross section" image, which should give you slices of the tree.

Apple confirmed that the Epic Games Store for iOS in the EU compiled with most of its guidelines, but it had an issue with the "a download button and related copy".

Apparently, Apple felt that the download button and related copy might mislead users into thinking they were made by the iPhone maker. While Apple has approved the app, it wants Epic to make the changes before the next app review.

There's the catch. Emphasis is from the original article.

Air-up water bottles. When I bought mine it claimed to be a better water bottle all-around.

Its primary gimmick of tricking the brain into tasting the scent works well, I did drink a lot more water without needing actual flavouring. The fact that I could (unofficially) 3D print my own reusable flavouring pods to be a little more eco-friendly was a nice surprise and the reason I decided to try it.

The "better bottle" part is utter horse crap. It leaks when tipped over, even when tightly closed. Their marketing team went as far as adding "sip, don't tip" to the instructions instead of making the cap properly seal.

Drinking from it was a chore as there was no water pressure and the constant bubbling (lets be real, its more like wet fart) noises made it impossible to use in silent settings.

I ended up going back to reusing a disposable bottle until it leaks even though the thought and feeling of something flavourless being in my mouth is revolting (its a sensory thing).

It disgusts me to see this guy fail upwards. He used the tax office to target vulnerable groups, destroying their lives, and was found guilty in doing so. 0

That alone should have disqualified him from any political position going forward.

But no, dumbasses voted him in AGAIN, and then he failed yet again. Now we have a conservative majority with a xenophobe at the helm. Ugh.

Somewhat related: to add on to the above scandal, I had my own run-in with the tax office after obtaining my residence permit almost 10 years ago. It took me 3 years to even gain residency. As soon as the residency was approved I got retroactively fined on not having health insurance while being legally unable to get insurance under the Dutch rules. I'm certain it was a part of that "policy" as well.

NATO shouldn't appoint Rutte, full stop.

Rutte honestly needs to fuck off away from politics for good. The trouble we are having here in the Netherlands is largely the fault of his (and his cabinets) policy waffling on important issues like housing and healthcare.

Our refugee "problem" that gave rise to Geert Wilders and his disgusting rhetoric is the result of 13 years of conservative foot dragging on building housing and getting away with it. His party and cabinet were also dragging their feet on reaching climate goals, and implemented a disastrous half-measures covid policy in which the RIVM happily parroted the advice of the American CDC instead of coordinating their own research.

His cabinet also had scandal after scandal that "broke" coalitions, with the last one being because he walked away from the table, showing a total lack of respect towards our other politicians. He's not fit to hold office in any shape or form and is an utter failure in all aspects. His parents should be ashamed.

I have the same issue and eventually gave up and got whats called a "verfrisser" in Dutch. I suppose it translates to "refresher"? Its a little thing that hangs on the rack that keeps it smelling fresh. One is good for 60 washes, or 2 months. The one I have is made by "finish" and was €2 for 2.

My apartment also has extremely hard water so I also run it empty at max temperature with a descaling powder once a month. I find the smell is greatly reduced for a few days after descaling. That may be why youre smelling it less when using the vinegar rinse.

Buying a proprietary 3D printer with internet connectivity. What could possibly go wrong?

Going by the linked forum post, Anycubic has been aware of it for two months. Any competent FOSS project would have nipped that in the bud on the same day it was discovered. Incredible.

There's someone running around lemmy with a creative commons sharealike link as a signature. Quite funny to be honest. I can't remember the username though. They're bound to show up sooner or later :)

It already is illegal, and euthanasia while "tolerated" is also illegal to perform by a medical professional.

What are they going to do, arrest a corpse? Fine by me.

Disclaimer: not lived in the US in over 10 years

I'm Deaf and used to rely on interpreters. The ADA improved quality of life immensely, as I only needed to inform doctors, schools, and employers when I needed one, and they would provide instead of the burden being on me, the person who didnt ask to be Deaf. My right to an interpreter during interviews, performance reviews, and meetings was violated several times. After a few reports, that got resolved.

Now in The Netherlands? Thats another story, we desperately need an equivalent of the ADA here. The discrimination is DISGUSTING.

I don't have any idea about your hardware issues. They're likely unrelated if the game has already been played without issue.

For the steam diagnosing, start with running steam from your terminal, by running steam. You may get lucky and the error is clearly identified in the console.

If that fails, backup $HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/221100 - the 221100 is the app ID of of DayZ on the steam store. After backing it up, delete the original 221100 directory and re-launch the game. This doesn't delete the game, but rather deletes the Proton prefix for the game.

If the game launches, copy any save files (if any) you may have in the backed-up 221100 directory over to the new one.

The above worked for me when I had similar issues when playing Batman: Arkham Asylum.

To be thorough, have you tried any other games to rule out your hardware being an issue?
