If a lender tells you a loan is paid off or forgiven, demand written proof, ideally the original, signed loan document marked "paid in full." Verbal assurances are worth the paper they're printed on.
If a debt collector tells you they own a debt you owe, demand written proof. If they can't prove they own it, it's illegal for them to collect in it (in the US at least). When in doubt consult a lawyer. #PersonalFinance
If it's anything like it used to be, it's better than Squarespace and its ilk because you can directly upload your pure, hand-coded HTML instead of going through all those autogenerative contraptions they have nowadays 🧶
Achtung, manche PDF-Reader (insbesondere PDF.js/Firefox) drucken das Geburtsdatum im Formular nicht mit aus. 2x von Hand nachtragen! Und 2x unterschreiben!
Da ihr ja während der Punktevergabe alle ein bisschen Zeit und ohnehin die Mobilgeräte zur Hand habt: Vielleicht gleich Briefwahl für die #Europawahl beantragen? #PSA: In #Berlin geht das ausnahmsweise unfassbar einfach, nur den QR-Code auf der Rückseite der Benachrichtigung einscannen und fertig. #UnitedByMusic#ESC#ESC2024#ESC24
#psa Okay, learned a lesson today. I either missed this or the setting changed in an update. Both #OneDrive and #Dropbox have a setting for keeping all the files in the cloud rather than on your Mac, downloading them as you need them. This means that if you need them and the service is responding poorly, or you have no connectivity, you can't get to your files. If you use #scrivener, for example, which syncs through dropbox, this can cause sync errors between devices!
Both services appear to set all files online only. Both services have a way to change this to ensure all files are downloaded for offline use.
#Writers, #authors, as well as #artists, I strongly suggest you keep your files on disk as well as in the cloud. Change these settings now!
Oh yeah, #PSA if you have fillings from 10+ years ago, it's probably a good idea to get them checked or replaced. Actually, just go see a proper (and probably more expensive) dentist who can give you a full proper check too.
So the dentist was telling me that olde-skool dental practice was not to drill too deep, and apply a gloop of medicinal paste before doing the actual filling. My X-ray showed a big hollow where the gloop used to be and it's probably where the tooth decay and crack started. Modern dentists just drill more off the top to be sure there's no decay and put just filling on top.
PSA: Today, we’ve updated the Nitrux Update Tool System to version 2.1.4 and released the OTA update archive for Nitrux 3.4.0. Run the following command to update the Nitrux Update Tool System and the distribution.
If the e-filing portal insists that you "Please correct the error below" without indicating any error, it might be to do with your address. Especially if there's something about a failed address regex in the console.
Going to the profile settings and updating it fixed it for me.
(And yes, they changed the rules, so you might have to file a different form than what you were filing earlier)
Our most dangerous wildlife is back in numbers: ticks.
Just found one on my leg. Probably picked up on yesterday's walk in the woods. It's a tiny nymph and while I spotted two others these are easy to miss.
The risk is the disease they're carrying. In our region (northern Europe, Denmark) primarily Lyme disease, transferred via the bite.
Anyway. #PSA: check for ticks and take them off properly. And the week after check for the telltale Lyme rash, an expanding red circle ANYWHERE on your body.
I don't care where you got your whole urad daal (black lentils) or that you're going to pressure cook - make sure you pick through first before rinsing and using
On this #earthday, you can start doing your part. Filter your home water and buy glass or metal containers to port it around instead of buying water filled plastic bottles that are barely and rarely recycled. Buy your meat and fish wrapped in paper, not plastic film on a bed of styrofoam. Tell your local restaurant to use the new paper and compostable boxes instead of often black plastic (totally non-recyclable) containers or styrofoam clamshells. The more people that choose, the more the people who want to engage with us change.
Always try desktop Linux distributions on real hardware! Do not use virtual machines.
Linux desktops heavily rely on graphics acceleration to deliver a good experience. Most VM tools are meant for servers and do not have good (if any) GPU support.
Public Service Announcement: If you ever need to add a very obscure #language to a piece of software and you can't find an #ISO 639 code for it, remember that ISO 639-2 defines a special range for that.
All codes between "qaa" and "qtz" (inclusive) are free to be used for anything.
So just use one of those instead of hacking some ugly special case in your #software or adding some non-standard code.
#PSA: Don’t pay PostNL the nine (!) euros extra for a registered letter. There’s a good chance it’ll end up outside the building in the rain with, presumably, a fake signature.
It is almost as if the #world is telling us a morbid joke: we will kill you if you resist and kill you if you hide, and if you refuse, and if you concede, and we will devour your land and gulp your oceans and kill you with hunger and thirst.
The massacres will be televised, broadcast in broad daylight. Our judges will legalize them.
#PSA: it's #aprilfools today (depending on your time zone). We'll get through it..
But it also means @ircpuzzles is running another puzzle competition on @liberachat -- while I don't organize it any more, I hear it's still fun, so maybe check that out.
