>In 1972, while still majority leader, Boggs was on a fundraising drive in Alaska when the twin engine airplane on which he was travelling along with Alaska congressman Nick Begich and two others disappeared en route from Anchorage to Juneau, Alaska.

was there foul plane?

also that sentence is constructed in the worst way.

what did NPR do in the past couple of days? someone messaged me "RIP NPR" but then disappeared and hasn't explained what they meant.

@sam_harris @Zardoz i have an FM transmitter and an FM broadcast antenna cut to [redacted] MHz. It works to about 3 miles with a 20' pole, but i have 50' poles and 90' trees, so if the internet or power did go off for *weeks* i absolutely would do this, and put signs on the highway saying "tune to [redacted] FM for news and aid information" I even have a dedicated computer that runs on a solar panel to run the station. but i'm weird, i think.

What is this phrase in Latin he said? I am not finding it. Supposed to be "Heart to Heart conversation with God." Where is the with God part?

I recommend Chesterton's Heretics and Orthodoxy books.
Dense but casual enough, Heretics is GK ribbing modernists and Orthodoxy is about this subject (didn't watch video, going by the info blob) and a response to some notable enough guy going "You can't just slap everyone with witty and insightful insults and refuse to elaborate."

Before I dump parts of the first chapter on you, I have to remark (for both of us) that finding an adequate church and attending dutifully is profitable, even if the sermon is a comparatively small part of the service.

>"I will begin to worry about my philosophy," said Mr. Street, "when Mr. Chesterton has given us his." It was perhaps an incautious suggestion to make to a person only too ready to write books upon the feeblest provocation. But after all, though Mr. Street has inspired and created this book, he need not read it. If he does read it, he will find that in its pages I have attempted in a vague and personal way, in a set of mental pictures rather than in a series of deductions, to state the philosophy in which I have come to believe. I will not call it my philosophy; for I did not make it. God and humanity made it; and it made me.

>I have often had a fancy for writing a romance about an English yachtsman who slightly miscalculated his course and discovered England under the impression that it was a new island in the South Seas. I always find, however, that I am either too busy or too lazy to write this fine work, so I may as well give it away for the purposes of philosophical illustration. There will probably be a general impression that the man who landed (armed to the teeth and talking by signs) to plant the British flag on that barbaric temple which turned out to be the Pavilion at Brighton, felt rather a fool. I am not here concerned to deny that he looked a fool. But if you imagine that he felt a fool, or at any rate that the sense of folly was his sole or his dominant emotion, then you have not studied with sufficient delicacy the rich romantic nature of the hero of this tale. His mistake was really a most enviable mistake; and he knew it, if he was the man I take him for. What could be more delightful than to have in the same few minutes all the fascinating terrors of going abroad combined with all the humane security of coming home again? What could be better than to have all the fun of discovering South Africa without the disgusting necessity of landing there? [...]

>But I have a peculiar reason for mentioning the man in a yacht, who discovered England. For I am that man in a yacht. I discovered England. I do not see how this book can avoid being egotistical; and I do not quite see (to tell the truth) how it can avoid being dull. [...]

>[...] If there is an element of farce in what follows, the farce is at my own expense; for this book explains how I fancied I was the first to set foot in Brighton and then found I was the last. It recounts my elephantine adventures in pursuit of the obvious. No one can think my case more ludicrous than I think it myself; no reader can accuse me here of trying to make a fool of him: I am the fool of this story, and no rebel shall hurl me from my throne. I freely confess all the idiotic ambitions of the end of the nineteenth century. I did, like all other solemn little boys, try to be in advance of the age. Like them I tried to be some ten minutes in advance of the truth. And I found that I was eighteen hundred years behind it. I did strain my voice with a painfully juvenile exaggeration in uttering my truths. And I was punished in the fittest and funniest way, for I have kept my truths: but I have discovered, not that they were not truths, but simply that they were not mine.

two PMOS installs with LUKS


So I'm trying to setup peppermint os , I have two disks and I want them both to have full disk encryption. After a couple of reinstalls using different approaches, searches and llm questions , still can't get it to work.

First boot gets to encryption of SDA (I believe) , then to grub menu and I'm able to load the first one.
Managed to get new entries but then I get: server error you need to load the kernel first.

I believe both installs are fine and that it is a LUKS thing. UEFI, disabled secure boot.

@Chawarma « Quand on l’a publié sur itch.io, on a hésité à un moment à le marquer comme “contenu sensible” en raison de son sujet. Si on l’avait fait, le jeu serait délisté [sorti du moteur de recherche – ndlr] actuellement, et compte tenu de ses thèmes, il ne reviendrait probablement pas. » C’est ce qui est arrivé à d’autres auteurs et autrices de jeux sur les violences sexuelles qu’ils ont subies. « Sous prétexte de lutter contre l’objectification des femmes ou la sexualisation des enfants, on en arrive donc à museler les victimes, il y a de quoi être fier », ironise le créateur.

@Max_Imum I remember one walk. The woman was in a relationship but met me on a dating site. I was just coming back from some dating event with overnight camping. She called me and wanted to see me. We met in the woods of Oosterbeek (Where the battle of Arnhem took place). One walk and we wanted more. - This wasn't the best move but it happened.
On another walk, along the beach another date knew that she didn't want more of it. That's fine.
