Thanks so much for the suggestions!

Unfortunately, as much as I'd love to try out Yorkshire Tea (I've heard they're amazing), they don't ship internationally, so as I live in the USA, I don't think that's an option for me. :C

To be fair, although admittedly a nitpick, I will say I never said that the caffeine dehydrated you, just that the teas and tisanes do, the latter of which may or may not have caffeine.

That being said, I looked it up and yeah you're right. The evidence does seem to demonstrate that the diuretic effect of the caffeine in teas not substantial enough to really affect hydration levels.

However, it does lead me to wonder why my body seems to dehydrate if I drink more 2 cups of tea in a day. Like, it doesn't cause me to pee more (at least not more than an equivalent amount of straight water would cause me to pee); my body just dries out.

As an American who wasn't ever raised on tea of any kind (and I don't like coffee) but is starting to really learn to love teas and tasanes (I'm open to suggestions, by the way!), I have to ask: how the hell do you manage to drink 8–10 cups per day without dying of dehydration? If I drink more than 3 cups a day I start to really feel dried out!

I have not once in my entire life heard anyone say it like that. Where are you from? Maybe it's a regional thing...

sen-tar

"sen-" like "cent" (like 25 cents), and "-tar" like "a tar pit"

Oh my goodness, girl, those eyes!

They are mesmerizingly gorgeous! ^_^

You're not wrong.

Threat model. It's all about the threat model.

I think I'll try using that hotkey (or something similar)!

Thanks for the suggestion. ;D

......Okay, I'm gonna be honest. I don't know how to respond to this.

That is definitely a helpful alternative. Thank you. :)

On a side-note, one rather annoying thing I noticed back in the 2.x days was the inability to set [TAB] as part of a keyboard shortcut (ideally, for switching image tabs). According to this SE thread, it's because of the inherent limitations of GTK2—the [TAB] key is "reserved for the GTK library". However, the thread also said (second comment) that

What really should happen is that the Ctrk-tab is used in a tabbed display to navigate the tabs. Note that Gimp currently uses the obsolete GTK2. Things could be better wit the GTK3 that will be used in Gimp 3.0.

Are you aware if things are indeed any better now that GIMP uses GTK3? Because unless I'm doing it wrong, it still doesn't seem to let me select the [TAB] key in the Keyboard Shortcuts window.

My vacation. I work in retail, so my job is very stressful and anxiety-inducing.

My vacation technically started a couple hours ago when I clocked out, but it starts in earnest tomorrow when I wake up. :3

You’re welcome - I hope you have a good time with it!

I appreciate that. Thank you.

If you have pasted an image but not yet made any selections on it then I would have thought that there is no selection to crop to yet.

Only if you press ctrl-v while having no canvas open. But, if you have a canvas open already, and the canvas is bigger than the image is, you'd want to crop to selection which would get rid of all the extra canvas around the actual image.

Although, looking back at Edit 1, yeah I should've been more specific. That's on me. Apologies, I have rephrased. :)

 


Edit 1:

Also, I realize I got a little heated with Edit 1 & 2. I do apologize if I came across as rude. Again, I have very little but respect for the people who work on this, and believe in the project. Unfortunately, it does have quite a ways to go; but hopefully with the work that has been with the 3.0 backend overhaul those other things can come sooner than what has come before. :)

  • However, in the Megathread, section 3-1 (All Purpose), under "Torrents", likewise the first entry is 1377x-to.

 


Edit:

Lol, got the characters mixed up, I guess. Whoops. Well, to all the people being nice about it and kindly letting me know, thank you very much!

To all the people being dicks about it (concerningly a lot of you it seems ಠ_ಠ), maybe learn a bit of humility. Some people mix up similar-looking characters in their heads. It's a thing that happens.

 
 

I'm well aware that I can rip most Blu-rays with MakeMKV and then convert to mp4 with Handbrake; however, the former just rips everything raw from the disk so the file size is humongous and the conversion via Handbrake for just a single file is terribly long and puts a lot of strain on my computer.

I've heard that EaseFab LosslessCopy is decent, but they only have a Windows and a Mac version, and I'm unsure how well it'd run under Wine.

I am willing to pay for it, but only as long as it's not a subscription thing. Has to be a one-time payment.

Does anyone know any decent Blu-ray ripping software that fits these conditions and run well on Linux? Specifically, it would be either Pop!_OS or Linux Mint. (I'm still using Windows because I want to figure out some software alternatives before I do so I'm not caught with my pants down, so to speak.)
