Trying to spread the idea that humans need to evolve beyond our current stage based on mutual exploitation and learn to again live on this planet sustainably and without coercion.

  • Just throwing some thoughts out there

    • fdisk shows /dev/sdc1 and mount doesn’t see it – did you perhaps unplug it and replug it causing potential renumeration?

    • Use the dmesg command to watch Linux detect the device

    • Use cat /proc/partitions to see the kernels view of storage devices

    • Check out the /dev/disk/by-label, /dev/disk/by-uuid, /dev/disk/by-partlabel etc and see how the point to each other

    e.g.

    $ ls -l /dev/disk/by-partlabel/arch-root lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jan 25 19:46 /dev/disk/by-partlabel/arch-root -> ../../sda2

    I lost a cat in a similar way, just disappeared one day, was about 10 months old, and I had his mother. I suspect he moved out, seems normal for an adolescent cat to move away from their mother if they’re not “trapped” in your house.

    they would have done better with just a gigantic poster of ferris bueller in a towel.

    You are a marketing genius!

    But also, I think it’s just a trend in the U.S. For a while there, and kinda still, warehouse stores are in style; I think because of the reputation for good deals from places like Costco and Ikea, I think other companies thought if they pretend to be a bit of a warehouse people will think they’re getting low prices because money was saved on decor. 'Muricans are easy to fool this way.

    I wonder if there are some good practical reasons though. Like if they were to do this with real towels it could potentially be heavy and dangerous. If a bunch of towels did fall, it would be significant work to put them back, and now they’d be dirty from the floor the public has been walking all over.

    Also, the fluorescent lights fade stuff pretty quick so if they didn’t cycle inventory fast enough you’d see fading, and they’d fade at different rates due to being exposed for different lengths of time and look weird.
