That wouldn’t have mattered either way, whether the tear area was properly perforated or not from the factory, or whether I would have done it myself.

I perfectly cut where it should have been cut with scissors, but still the zipper was poorly adhered to the bag, weaker adhesive than the zipper itself, so the zipper itself still peeled loose from the bag.

I anticipated something might go wrong, hence the photo before I even tried to open it, plus I already had a generic zipper bag handy before even trying to open it.

Put it this way, the turkey won’t be going to waste…

Oh, just wait until I’m about 3/4 of the way through the bag, only to find a slice of turkey with the dotted line printed directly on it…

😂

Nothing surprises me anymore 🤷

Yep. I perfectly cut the bag with scissors, but still the zipper was poorly adhered to the bag, and the zipper peeled loose off the bag as soon as I opened it, so I still had to dig out another generic zipper bag for the rest of the turkey.

Sigh, I tried my best, got it perfect, and yet the bag failed anyways. At least I already had a backup plan, as the photo I posted was before I even tried to open the package. I had a feeling it was still somehow gonna fuck up…

I know right? I hate it when I get turkey pubes between my teeth… 🤮

😂🤣

Nah, not meant to be perforated, but is meant to have a dotted line printed above that yellow instructions bar. The package did have the pre-slit cuts on both ends, in the appropriate location where I ultimately just decided to cut it instead, as I’ve seen all too many of those sort of tear open zipper bags just tear miserably wrong and ruin the whole package.

Sigh, even after like perfectly cutting the bag on the intended area where the dotted line should have been, still the zipper was barely adhered to the bag and the whole zipper peeled loose, making the built in zipper ultimately still useless ☹️

Hey, at least I pay attention for potentially defective resealable packaging though, the turkey sure ain’t gonna go to waste.

I’ve also seen other zipper bag issues with shredded cheese, where the two sides of the zipper don’t even line up and can never actually seal. I just fold those bags over like 3 or 4 times at the end and use a chip bag clip on those.

Also, why is it that cardboard cereal boxes and similar with the quick rip strip are almost always glued right under the part that’s supposedly meant to easily and quickly rip loose?

Sigh, too many mildly infuriating things on my mind to keep adding to this list…

Working just fine on my phone 🤷

You didn’t even declare the hardware specs…

Regardless, Mint…

Try this…

• Force stop the YouTube app
• In the YouTube app storage settings, clear the cache and storage

The YT app, even not logged in, stores your data locally…

I’m no expert here, but I think your problem starts when you said “I open YouTube”

Whether you’re logged into Google or not, the YouTube app still tracks your video watch preferences and such. Try Grayjay instead…

Wow, I’ve been running Linux for 14 years already?

Yeah, it’s Penguin time! 🐧

Last I checked, hospitals around my area still use dot matrix printers, mainly because of carbon copy papers…

Very relevant…

Don’t worry about magnetic screwdrivers, the drives themselves have way stronger magnets for the head arm actuators.

Glad you found the failing drive though 👍

Interesting approach, makes sense.

Coming from automotive repair and using a section of hose to narrow down sounds.

Nothing wrong on my Android tablet, page renders just fine here. Fennec is my default browser BTW.

But also, the program is for Windows, Mac and Linux, they don’t seem to have a mobile version.

I just tried it, sadly it doesn’t have a camera sensor option to detect and translate flashing Morse Code from another source, but it does have a Morse to Text translator that you can manually enter the incoming dots and dashes and it’ll translate back to text.

The send feature converts plain text to the appropriate dots and dashes, with options to flash the screen, the flashlight, beep over the speaker and also vibrate. Dunno why they chose red as the screen flashing color with no option to change color though…

For it to be version 1.0.1, its actually alright, it does work, although slightly clunky (but simple) UI right now. Everything, even the custom text you enter, has to be accessed in the Settings menu.

Its worth a try, I’ll be keeping it on my devices to go alongside the Survival Manual app (different developer), and hope to see some improvements and new features down the road…

Alan Turing must be turning over in his grave now…

Sad times we live in, fuck AI.

I hear ya there, but…

I be getting really confused when one config boots from /dev/sda, but when I have my backup drive attached (not the boot device), it boots from /dev/sdb

Hell I dunno, I probably confused the hell out of my laptop plus myself with my cutout mod reconfiguration, but it’s happy to boot from almost anything now.

Almost…

Hey, at least I know how to restore to my previous state from backup via dd 👍

Wait wait, I just double checked.

Apparently my 128GB is a SATA M2.

Fuck I’m still learning this new hardware. 🤦‍♂️

I see someone missed the virtual machine memo.
