@Bob I was a little confused by what lactose-free actually means. I think they add an enzyme into the milk that helps you digest lactose, but it still kinda has to contain lactose
it would take some special chemical processing to remove all of the lactose (basically, a slight molecular derivative of sucrose, sugar) from the milk
as I understand it, the enzyme they put into the milk (1) passes through you with little effect if your body already produces the enzyme by itself; or (2) helps you digest and absorb the sugars contained within the lactose if your body does not produce that enzyme
hence, "lactose-intolerant" just means that your body produces a small enough amount of the enzyme, or none at all, that the lactose ends up going past the stage of your digestive system where you siphon off sugars into the bloodstream, instead letting the bacteria in your gut feast on all that sugar
@allquixotic Yea, they add lactase which converts the lactose into a different sugar.
@allquixotic Yup, exactly. It's not an allergy - I can eat/drink lactose. It just means I'm ... uncomfortable ... for a few hours after.
I usually take lactase pills before having anything with significant amounts of lactose.
Lactose-free just means they add the lactase earlier, directly to the milk. Which tends to be more effective. Lactase doesn't really like stomach acid.
btw, @allquixotic, in case you didn't see yesterday. those virtio drivers aren't GPL (or at least the RH copy isn't). I've deleted them and asked geek to delete your message, but you might want to remove it from your gdrive. I'm just using the Fedora ones (the hard way) now :\ (idk if you read pings now)
side note, I checked and yea they are on AWS (if you activate the supplementary repo) but licence conditions include not using them on non-RH OSes. bleh.
@Bob how many "creators" dedicate their machines to running IIS or SQL Server :P
"Yes, I have a Quad Xeon E7 3U box with 6 x 10 TB HDD with a Dell PERC Hardware-RAID controller and 1 TB of RAM; I'd like to get better tablet support in MS Paint."
btw @Bob, I got the LG G6 :P I turned in my S8+ and went with a new AT&T account (while still keeping all my Verizon cruft including the iPhone) for use at work, because we're literally underneath a Verizon cell tower's signal but I think we're good with AT&T
and we're even better with AT&T at the customer facility because they run AT&T femtocells... they force their employees toward a monopoly... walls are so thick, no other signals get out or in.
@Bob because I had an S8+ and it was a little too awesome? because I wanted to save $11/month? because I don't mind a previous-gen Snapdragon in exchange for a more vanilla Android experience?
also, what kind of stupid company puts a dedicated button on a phone, sells it and the button doesn't even do anything? (the Bixby button)
if that's not a rushed product, I don't know what is.
I want a finished device, not an "oops we fucked up the Note 7 so we're gonna rush out a new flashy phone for the PR".
if you buy a retail device at a Big Four (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mo, Sprint) retail store or online, you can get it carrier unlocked for free and port it to another carrier that supports at least some bands in common with the LTE baseband
so you can't be locked in
but if you have a device that's not on their list, you can't get in to another carrier
in practice, with a couple "you can't move devices from carrier X to carrier Y" specific scenarios due to band compatibility, most other carriers' devices are on the portability list to and from eachother
and I think Verizon and AT&T even sell the same literal model number of Galaxy S8 now
@JourneymanGeek we have GSM/CDMA (becoming irrelevant, but still required for device activation I think, so it's not totally gone yet), and Verizon is the only one with band 4, I think... and then AT&T probably has one or two bands to themselves
there are so-called world phones that support CDMA and GSM depending on what network your SIM card tells you to connect to; those will support 2G/3G on, say, GSM AT&T and CDMA Verizon
@William you can still boot up, use apps and WiFi on the original iPhone, but since the original iPhone was 2G and AT&T only, you can no longer get cellular data with it.
not sure if you can make phone calls either, for that matter
wouldn't this be an issue with emergency 911 calls not working
also you could probably unlock it and get it on Tmobile if Tmobile still sends 2G
I'm surprised they can just cancel something like that. Heck Mosiac(which I was testing out the other day) even works with the new domains names which I was suprised. Talk about backwards compatibility
@William the original iPhone is 10 years old. It's unrealistic to be able to operate a phone that long. Different pieces of technology have different realistic life expectancies.
Toasters usually last 10 - 20 years. Central A/C units, 20 to 30 years. Houses (built with good standards), 100 plus years. Desktop computers can still be usable after 10 years, some even longer, but that doesn't mean all electronics can last that long.
Trying to use an original iPhone today is equivalent to complaining that you can't find any leaded gas for your car that requires lead in the gas so the engine doesn't tear itself apart.
So bascically ThinkPad X60 era... yeah, I could see that being a real stretch, but for basic tasks like web and email, an X60 with 2 GB of RAM and a Core 2 Duo is still probably okay.
Of course, the display will be horrid compared to modern ones, the battery's probably shot, the hinge might be wonky, and it's got enough dust inside of it probably to create an entire cat out of all the dust mites and furballs.
@allquixotic You wouldn't be able to. I tried putting my old phone (Nexus 5X) on 2G only mode when AT&T shut down 2G and could not get any service at all. I could not even make a voice call.
I'm now on T-Mobile, using a OnePlus 3T with LineageOS. Their coverage is a bit uneven, but where you can get a good signal, their LTE is extremely fast (on essentially the same level as Verizon, and sometimes even faster).
Says his morning meal is kibble. Then 'roo meat later. I'm gonna guess the 'roo meat's free for the shooting, but the kibble's got to come from somewhere that want's to get paid for it.
@satibel Instrutions called for 3 hours/batch, from the photo, looks like enough that it'd take at least 2 rounds to do it all in the oven I have, maybe 3. that's hrs ~ $6 in elec alone. Soy flour's not cheap, though I've not priced it lately. The rest probably don't cost too much, but over all it still adds up.
Okay wow. Girlfriend just texted me. She's had this brilliant idea of us just "forgetting about each other" for the next 1.5 months and not making any contact so that we can concentrate on studies. I guess she kinda has a point, but this is overly drastic and I don't like it.
The worst part is that we have vacations right now, and I happen to know that after this we won't be able to talk much for two years (till we graduate from school) anyway because the pressure from school to study will be too great.
Do the market place / fishing guy / photo guy / dog tag quests in FFXV ever end?
As in, if I keep going back, will they just continue to generate and give me quests? I like being a completionist, and sometimes this kind of thing can trip me up and leave me spending hours chasing a end I can neve...

The HTML <samp> element is an element intended to identify sample
output from a computer program. It is usually displayed in the
browser's default monotype font (such as Lucida Console).
This is of course very useful on all the "code" sites, but particularly also in doc...
As he suggests, giving it console type background implies it's only a CLI use, while it's potential includes all the error boxes that GUI's like to pop up with as well.
Though I do recall having used code in block quote to show me vs computer

We can't delete tags, they are auto deleted by the system every now and then.
Also, you can point to a random tag, system will show the standard tag page, but it doesn't necessarily mean that they exist.. (ex: data-explorer doesn't exist, neither does scraping or interesting-tags)
@Rahul2001 well, this happened to me, twice. Now they are just friends. Not to be a salty old geezer but this probably will end your relationship, though you could maybe get back together when you finish your studies. Don't worry, statistically, relationships at 16 years old don't last long anyways.
