For, err, no apparent reason, trying to customize a #Kubuntu (Bionic) Desktop #LiveCD in order to get it to work on an #Intel #NUC8i7HNK (just like that #Fedora Rawhide pendant which simply works OOTB) for a couple of days now suddenly reminded me of this:
For the record: I'm not (primarily) blaming the hardware here…
Once you find the required parameters for use with "mkisofs" (which are not mentioned in the document you likely refer to first, namely help.ubuntu.com/community/Live…), you're able to re-image an #Ubuntu/#Kubuntu daily #LiveCD with #UEFI support: askubuntu.com/a/504750
The problem starts the moment you want to replace the files vmlinuz/initrd.lz, though. Even if you follow the (seemingly more detailed) German howto wiki.ubuntuusers.de/LiveCD_manuell… apart from the last step, the resulting image ("dd"'d onto an USB flash drive) will boot… in a VM only.
Even if you do not touch a single file related to GRUB, the Intel NUC happily ignores the flash drive (remember, w/o changing anything it would still boot). Why GRUB stops working altogether is a mystery to me; the boot menu should always come up, right?
The #KISS principle dictates that at one point it does not make sense to continue fiddling. The resulting "straightforward" solution in order to use a customized #Ubuntu/#Kubuntu #LiveCD? Boot a #Fedora #Rawhide #LiveCD, install, e.g., #VirtualBox, and boot your image there… 🤓

#Servicetweet​s für Möchtegern-Blockwarte, welche hier von "#Taggingverbrechen" schwadronieren (die kleine Schwester vom "#Gedankenverbrechen"): Das hier ist zunächst einmal eine öffentliche, u.a. von spezialisierten Algorithmen automatisch überwachte Plattform im Internet.
Wer nicht will, dass er zitiert wird, kann seinen Account schließen, ihn nicht-öffentlich schalten, oder per Direktnachricht kommunizieren; oder aber, er/sie kann einfach den Mund halten. Das hier ist nicht die Schule, altersmäßig ist kaum einer mehr ein Kind.
Insbesondere wenn Accounts Zitate Dritter in Bildform hier veröffentlichen, sollten sie sich nicht der Illusion hingeben, diese wären grundsätzlich zu dumm, das nicht mitzubekommen. Selbst Laien können das "sich-selbst-googeln" hier schnell erlernen.

Petit thread sur cet article génial de l'Association for Psychological Science qui explique qui croit en Dieu, qui n'y croit pas, et pourquoi:

journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/09…
1 - la croyance en Dieu est une conséquence d'un trait évolutionniste qui nous fait surpercevoir notre environnement: il vaut mieux percevoir plus que notre environnement, quitte à s'alarmer pour rien, que ne pas réussir à percevoir correctement un danger potentiel.
Nous avons donc naturellement développé une capacité à détecter tout un tas de bullshit derrière les phénomènes naturels de notre environnement, comme un orage, ou juste un arbre un peu bizarre.

AU wherein, despite the prejudice people have against hybrids, Jeongguk’s managed to work his way up the ranks and establish a name for himself.
Taehyung, a hybrid w/ a difficult temperament, somehow falls under his care.
The only problem? Jeongguk wants nothing to do with him.
Little context:
More often than not, hybrids are sold as ‘pets’. The handful that do make smth out of themselves still fall victim to some sort of discrimination. Jeongguk’s gone through a lot & is disgusted by it all, so when Taehyung’s given to him, he hates the entire ordeal.
Notes
• Jeongguk has been aged up, so he’s four years older than Taehyung purely to allot for time wherein he becomes successful.
• This may border on nsfw.
• Taehyung will not act as a ‘pet’ or anything similar. He is a person.

Even with a #bionic hand, you gotta break a few eggs to make an omelette - & probably get a few shells in there too 🍳🤖✨.
I get a lot of questions on whether I can “feel” what I’m grabbing with my #bebionic (@ottobockus_ca) hand... (thread)
Currently there aren’t any commercially available haptic feedback systems for these devices. The only way I “know” how hard I’m grabbing is from practice - whether it’s on my own body [you can find me pinching myself quite frequently] or on an egg. 🍳🤖
When you take vision out of the equation (as in me not looking at my hand), if it’s a task I’ve done enough like shaking hands, it’s down to muscle memory. 🤖🤝🤖

"Work In Progress"
I began writing on Thursday. It wasn't planned, that's simply when the words started to come. Or put another, more painfully truthful way, when I finally stopped finding reasons not to write.
For almost as long as I've been aware of stories, I've imagined creating my own. And I have, in a way. Ideas, and notes, and countless unfinished drafts. But nothing complete; nothing whole. Not a single thing I could show to someone else.
There always seemed to be a 'reason' of some kind or another. Being uninspired; needing to do research; waiting for the perfect time; saving up my money to buy a new personal computer to write on; wanting to clear the deck of any distractions; having too many distractions;

Almost all of the Road Runner cartoons are available via the @BoomerangToons app.

I subscribed for $5 & decided I'm gonna watch & tweet about 'em all in chronological order, even the later, terrible ones, for which I have an irrational affection.

Here we go.

Boomerang lists them alphabetically not chronologically so Chuck Jones masterpieces sit side-by-side with 1960s atrocities (& later 'revival' attempts.)

I am going to start at the beginning. I will also be including Wile E. Coyote/Bugs Bunny & Ralph Wolf/Sam Sheepdog shorts, FYI
September 17, 1949: "Fast And Furry-ous"

Chuck Jones intended this short to be a parody of cat & mouse "chase" cartoons. Instead, he accidentally created the definitive chase cartoon series of all time.
