Usually, yes. But in some movies they drive the plot. The sex scenes in A Somewhat Gentle Man (2010) are hilarious, help establish the character, and are a pretty challenging wank.

The slow-motion train wreck will continue for quite some time.
The Nobel Committee is appointed by the government and mostly consists of retired politicians, so the lines are a little blurred.
Also not the first time someone blames Norway for something the Nobel Committee did. China was butthurt for a decade after Liu Xiaobo got the prize, and removed visa waivers for Norwegian citizens as well as restrict trade.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Need help setting up a software RAID 1 through Calamares Installer (Debian 13 Trixie)
3·9 days ago/dev/md127is probably a raid 1 from a previous installation. Assuming you don’t need the data on it, you can either delete or ignore it.I’m not familiar with this exact installer, but I have installed Debian a bunch before. Judging by what I’m seeing here, you probably need to do a bit of manual labor. I’m guessing you first create partition tables (usually gpt), then raid partitions, then combine them into a raid, and maybe then put lvm on top of that again, and finally a filesystem. If you’re planning to go the lvm route you probably want to create a smaller raid on the start of the disk for
/boot(250-500MB should suffice) separate from the lvm, because last I checked you can’t boot from an lvm volume.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•NHS defends cousin marriages because ‘only 15 percent lead to birth defects’English
255·11 days agoLots of things lead to increased risk of birth defects, like having children after the age of 30. I thought it was pretty well known that the risks associated with inbreeding drops off pretty sharply at the cousin level? At that point I think the appropriate reaction is social stigma, but not legal ramifications.
Most teams I’ve been in would do a time boxed task (sometimes referred to as a spike) in those cases. Basically, you get a task with maybe 3 or 5 story points, and the goal is to either complete it or find out what it takes to do so. Then you make follow-up tasks for the next sprint. It’s worked pretty well for me in those cases with a lot of uncertainty.

Europe@feddit.org•Donald Trump says eight European countries(Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland) face 10% tariff for opposing US control of GreenlandEnglish
21·11 days agoI imagine they do when training in Norway at least, but the whole point of those exercises is to make them better at dealing with winter warfare. The Norwegians already know how to dress for the cold, so it’s not exactly an even pairing. Not sure the results would be the same if they did the same exercise in Texas heat.

I don’t know how you can change your perspective, but every life has inherent value. If something happened to you, it would really fuck up someone’s day. If you have friends or family, it would fuck up several days for them. Even if you don’t have friends or family, whoever finds you and/ or deals with it would definitely not enjoy the experience. So simply by staying alive and healthy you are improving the life of multiple people.
Also, you’re probably having a more positive impact than you realize. If you help an old lady get her walker over a curb, that’s a huge deal to her, you might not even register it. Same thing if you hold the door open for someone carrying something, or any other little thing. It doesn’t even have to be an actual act of helping. If you buy groceries without being an asshole to the clerk, you are improving their day by reducing their amount of assholes per customer.
I don’t go around thinking about my inherent worth, but whenever I’m feeling down I try to do something nice and savor how I improved someone’s day. If it’s in person, I look for their smile. If it’s online, I imagine it. After I submit this comment, I’m giving myself a little pat on the back. I don’t know if it helped, but I tried, and that’s what matters.
