I have seen this before and came to the conclusion this is not the main door. Could be a rarely used utility room or so. The plunger is a big hint this door isn't used much. It's not immovable like the bathtub and would block even more of that entrance. She would have moved it.

if it's hard/crispy and jagged or pointy, like where it broke, it can be stuck for long and cause internal bleeeding.

maybe just don't shove random things up your butt.

Happens in Ubuntu as well since several months in all players. Doesn't happen with opus and flac files.

Group Work Exams (self.dreams)
submitted 6 days ago by lurch to c/[email protected]
 

I dreamt during high school final exam, it was optionally possible to form small groups and do them together. This is where nerds would be able to thank people who treated them well by metaphorically carrying them to a top degree and bullies wouldn't find groups, except with other bullies, which were likely to fail. The nerds picked groups around themselves that had people from various categories like sportspeople, at least one of each gender and sometimes two nerds together if they knew they had weaknesses in topics, so they could cover each others weaknesses. People who weren't picked by nerds would just team up with friends and likely get only mediocre degrees. So it was like winning the lottery to get picked by a nerd, except that your chances were better if you were a good person in the past.

 

The article has also videos from the rescue afterwards.

It's followed by comments thanking him for the cryoto money and sarcastically asking him if he has tried learning programming.

Tech Reveal (self.dreams)
submitted 1 week ago by lurch to c/[email protected]
 

I dreamt I was part of the crew of a big stranded spaceship. It had a hull of blueish metal in a cigar-like shape with lots of openings on the bottom for landing gear, shuttle bays, sensors, weapons etc.. It couldn't fly at the moment. It would randomly go through what the crew called tech reveal: A purple or blue misty wave would go through the ship and add new features and controls for it. When this wave started, someone would scream "tech reveal" and an alert would go off, because in the past several crew members were lost or injured by new components being added at their location. Also, we had captured some wanted criminal who tried to sneak on board and now we tried to negotiate to trade him to local scavengers, because we couldn't make it past them to turn him in without them just robbing him from us and get the reward. There was a tech reveal, which turned the hull from blueush to pastel pink. One of the crew members had his birthday upcoming. He had the same first name as me, which confused me when someone asked me for help with setting the thermostat of a section of the bridge he works in. Armed scavengers were outside on the ground negotiating with some of us. Then there was a tech reveal and it added a set of buttons on the bridge, where we were working. Then I woke up.

I had taken a bus to go somewhere and it was time to return. It was a summer day. A bus in the opposite direction arrived. I didn't know exactly where it would go. I paid for one stop. The bus turned right and the driver announced "your stop's gonna come up soon." I pressed the button that indicates I want to exit there. It became night. From within the bus we could see a yellowish illuminated big white tower with regular oval holes. Me and an elderly couple got out of the bus. I wanted to go to the tower, see if I could climb it. It was day. I went through a few meters of wilderness that had a path created by people walking there. The tower was on a meadowy hill, which I reached. Suddenly, it was night and a layer of pulvery snow was on the ground. The elderly couple enjoyed wading through it and hopped around a bit. I could see now, it was too hard to climb. The oval holes were too big. One couldn't reach one hole from another. I went down the hill and ended up in some sort of cafeteria. It was dark outside, but yellow lit inside. A young woman working there offered me several desserts made of pastry with randomly red or green jello on top in white tiny rectangular bowls. They were out of other things and had too many of these. I went to pay. Another young woman was operating the cash register. She was surprised I had just multiple desserts. She noted "this can only mean we have too many" and turned around to check. Indeed they had too many and she got one for herself, then charged me only one. Then I woke up.

I dreamt that I was loading the dishwasher. I had the top compartment full. My brother was making all sorts of food and was in the living room now. There was an unpacked frozen pizza with tomatos and cheese on the stovetop ready to be put in the oven. But then, for some reason, I had a tiny stainless steel grate that I needed to mount to the bottom to the dishwasher instead of the normal basket that goes there. I had some sort of plug for it, but it wouldn't fit. I asked my brother in the living room and also mentioned the pizza not yet in the oven. He gave me a weird kitchen scissors that might work as a plug and said it wasn't time to put the pizza in the oven yet. I found 2 holes for plugs at the bottom of the dishwasher, but the scissors wouldn't fit. My brother was standing beside me. Then I noticed and mentiomed the scissors aren't even dishwasher safe. Before I woke up, I was thinking, we need asbestos arsenide plugs, beacause those would withstand the environment in the dishwasher, but were they safe to put with dishes? (I don't think asbestos arsenide is a thing IRL.)

The Seeker Incident (self.dreams)
submitted 1 month ago by lurch to c/[email protected]
 

I dreamt that humans, dragons in humanoid form and atrifial liforms called seekers also in humanoid form lived together in harmony, but it wasn't always that way. Seekers were historically designed to kill dragons. An ancient device had caused a virus to revert a seekers programming to kill dragons again.

The white haired but youthful, human looking dragon queen lives in the water of some sort of open air temple with water cascades and bonsai trees. A seeker girl in abody suit of rough synthetic material wants to warn the dragon queen about the reprogrammed seeker, but the dragon queen swims around in some sort of ritual with chants and whenever the girl is about to talk, the queen jumps down a water cascade and dives into the next pond. There are dragons on the sides of the ponds and standig atop the small waterfalls. They laugh about the seeker girl being confused. The girl carries a chunky device that has a flat base and some sort of saucer shaped thing above it and contains some sort of proof. With that thing she has trouble following the queen. She still jumps after her into the next pond.

There is a scene cut like in a movie. A human guy and a tall seeker guy with a grey fedora stand in a room in a high rise building. The window behind them shows cityscape. They are detective partners at a crime scene that is mostly out of view. Suddenly the seekees face becomes some sort of flat blue display and shows a circle of text in ancient glyphs slowly rotating and changing in bright colors. The human looks at it and jokes it's just like the old times. The seeker replies he recieved an old signal from a compromised seeker.

The scene switches back to the water temple. The seeker girl stands at the bottom of a big cascade finally delivering the news to the queen. On the other side in the background is a cityscape.

Then I woke up.

Is It My Fault (self.dreams)
submitted 1 month ago by lurch to c/[email protected]
 

I dreamt there was a hard cover comic book for children and also for abuse victims, called Is It My Fault. It shows various situations in which something bad happened, with speech bubbles. The reader had to guess whether it's the main characters fault and it had a little built in feature whete you had to fold a lens and a tiny piece of film out and peek through it to see if you guessed correctly.

 

I dreamt I waa a youth at a sunny ancient port town (but in modern day) with stone docks made from white matte stone with grey and yellow lines. It wasn't busy only few crates stood around. No ships in sight. We had the super funny idea to let a goat loose with a GPS tracker. We did it. Then I woke up worrying the goat might eat farmers crops and precious garden flowers on it's way to the mountains and realized it was just a dream and there is no goat on the lose 😅
