We taught our dog some sign language when we noticed he was losing his hearing. He's completely deaf now, but recognizes the signs for walk, water, food, and home. Works great!

Exactly the same for me. It didn't really feel like the end until the trio started letting some emotion out.
It's a transition for sure. I've had them on Top Gear and Grand Tour for half of my life. It's really sad to think I won't get any new specials. They deserve the rest, certainly.

I put a dozen aliases in bash_aliases and call it a day. If I find myself in the terminal I don't want to be hamstrung with some unique configs that nobody can help me with and I can't remember making.
I added more hard drives to my windows PC to dual boot as a test, then added another drive to actually play since I was enjoying Linux. My third OS isn't bootable any more. What have I done wrong? Started off with Windows 10 on a SATA drive with an M.2 drive for more data. Added a 2Gb NVME with Debian - this has become my daily driver. I haven't been to windows more than a few minutes a week. Added another 250Gb SATA drive to test and play with another Debian install so I don't break my daily driver. Tried today to boot into the test OS and It's just missing from GRUB? It doesn't show up as a bootable drive in my UEFI BIOS either, though the drive itself is seen. From KDE Partition Manager in my daily driver Debian, the drives are: /dev/nvme01 - the daily driver Debian /dev/sda - the Windows OS drive /dev/sdb - the windows M.2 drive /dev/sdc - the test Debian drive (not booting) I would appreciate help. While there's not much on that drive, I would like to continue my playing around. Thanks in advance.
Hallo, Hello, Hola, Aloha, etc. I kept notes for a five year-long D&D game in Microsoft OneNote, which worked fine, but I kept wishing for more features. I'm hoping y'all can recommend something better suited to my desired use. * Page per game session (day), unless there's a better paradigm * Crosslinking easily, so that I can link every appearance of a character in the notes to a page for that character (or spell or place or organization or whatever). Is it possible for this to happen automatically by linking future uses of that word? * Some stats about frequency e.g. "this character has appeared X times" or "player X rolled a 1 Ytimes". Probably achieved by counting the number of times a page was linked to? * Ideally, but not mandatory, collaborative. I'm capable of self-hosting either full time but maybe some have a "share on local network" option to use during a session. * Inserting images * Open source is preferred for ethical reasons, but I can use proprietary or paid software * Don't care much about text formatting I appreciate any input!

Hello Lathe Ladies, Mitre Mates, and Plywood Pals! I've been tracking my kids' heights on a wall for several years but I'd like a prettier solution. Something I can screw on the wall and mark their heights on (maybe temporarily and then go back with a wood burner or something). Ideally, sometime that's two identical adjacent pieces that I can give them if I'm ever lucky enough to be a grandparent. A straight 7' board with a cutout for the moulding and burnt or painted 6" increments is the simplest solution, but can y'all think of anything nicer? I would prefer to keep it on a semi visible wall instead of the laundry closet. Thanks friends.
We're last minute people, maybe a week in advance without air travel, a month with. A family friend just invited us to join them on a vacation NOVEMBER 2025. That seems bonkers to me! How far in advance do you plan a small trip like a road trip or visiting family, and how far in advance for a big trip like international travel, a cruise, or Disney?
Hiya, My local library summer reading challenge has a few items with which I could use y'all's help. Read a book with a musical theme. Read a book outside your comfort zone (I read mostly novels, and mostly sci-fi). Read a book by an author from a different cultural background. (I'm a white American and I've already read Three Body Problem) Read a book suggested to you. I would appreciate any suggestions! -Pidgin
Hello ladies (current and former) of Lemmy (current) - I'm curious how your experience of the male gaze has changed as you moved in and out of young-woman-hood. How has your opinion of being seen changed through this process?
Well, really to Tabletop Wargaming generally. I brought the Beginner Box Set 35020 with some printed record sheets from flechssheets because I'm not brave enough to write on the cards it comes with. We grabbed extra minis from our D&D piles. We played GRF-1N (PPC,LRM10) and WLV-6M (LL, 2ML) Versus GRF-1S (LL, 2ML, LRM5) and WLV-6R (AC5, SRM6, ML) They agreed that criticals and physical attacks sounded fun, so we added those rules. No heat, though they thought it would be a fun addition for next time. We played on one included map sheet with some trees but no elevation. They were frustrated by how often they missed, and how slim the to-hit usually was. (Aiming for 10+ most of the time. Once they got better at managing their movement, the game got more fun. I jumped around a bit and told them anecdotes from past games and lore tidbits. Once we got to start rolling clusters and criticals they got into it, trying to get side and rear facing shots. It was fun, and they are willing to play again, but they were dismayedthat it took three hours. Maybe I should finally learn to play Alpha Strike. I have the book but not the box set yet.
Ich besuche meine Familie nächste Woche, und ich will kleine Geschenke mitbringen. I know American chocolate is inferior, but I assume it's still a novelty. Some kind of candies probably, too. What else? Many years ago they loved to get boxed breakfast cereal and paper napkins, which seems quaint now. It's been years since I've seen them, and I'm sure everyone there can buy whatever they want on the Internet, but it will still be fun to bring something. Any suggestions for an Ausländer?
My parents raised me to always say "yes sir" and "no ma'am", and I automatically say it to service workers and just about anyone with whom I'm not close that I interact with. I noticed recently that I had misgendered a cashier when saying something like "no thank you, ma'am" based on their appearing AFAB, but on a future visit to the store they had added their pronouns (they) to their name tag. I would feel bad if their interaction with me was something they will remember when feeling down. This particular person has a fairly androgynous haircut/look and wears a store uniform, so there's no gender clue there. I am thinking I need to just stop saying "sir" and "ma'am" altogether, but I like the politeness and I don't know how I would replace it in a gender-neutral way. Is there anything better than just dropping it entirely? For background I'm a millennial and more than happy to use people's correct pronouns if I know them!
My D&De campaign wrapped up at level 20 after five years of regular play, and we are playing some one shots and stuff as a break before we decide what to do next. The D&D DM volunteered to GM again. I think it's only fair that we players try to run some games to give the GM a break! I played in a FFG Edge of the Empire game for a few weeks many years ago with a different bunch, and had a great time. I bought the beginner box, which has four characters built, maps, an adventure, and the infernal dice. We will have five players, but one of our members played in my previous game so he can probably re-use his old char. It's a fairly interactive system, requiring creativity from the players and GM to use the Advantages and Disadvantages in cinematic ways. I'm hopeful this bunch can do it. I didn't think any of them were particular Star Wars nerds, but I can keep Wookipedia open if I need background info on aliens or something. Any tips for a new GM running through a beginner module, or on adapting this game for an extra player (might just NOT), or in running EotE in general? Thanks in advance.

Jerry Gretzinger has been drawing and updating this map one panel at a time based on random card draws. Over the decades his style and art interests have changed and that's reflected in the map. I bought a few panels and I love them. I've been aware of the project for years and years. I would love to see it in an exhibition somewhere.

They were published from the 20s to the 50s and written for children, so they're quite anachronistic. I find them charming! My elementary school was discarding them 30 years ago and I claimed the whole pile. I'm reading them to my kids now to their great enjoyment, but I've never met anyone else who's even heard of them. I will note that I've had to explain some of the social stuff that's very much of it's time. None of the problematic stuff has been mean-spirited, but I do have to break in once or twice per book to say "we don't say things like that anymore because ..." , but my kids are used to my pointing that sort of thing out already.
At the ends of episodes~209 and 210 there is a side story about a guy minting coins. He got bamboozled by his copper supplier Nasir!

Maximum Ride are YA books by James Patterson, the prolific murder-mysteries-for-moms author. They start off decent and go downhill a bit, but anyway. The protagonists are kids who got genetically engineered or something into bird people. (Like typical angels, not like the Aarococra from D&D) they fly around and try not to get caught. I feel like there's some similarity in the personalities that would be fun to read in a crossover fanfic.
