Maybe this is like Tesla's odometers, but for birthdays?

It sure seems like a great way to ensure crime will rise. You think people who can't afford to eat are just going to roll over and die? Hell no, they're going to go out and take what they can. Not looking after your population just means your population will look after themselves.

There's always the Opportunity rover one.

Even the word "notably" before that is useless. Notably something un-notable occurred. Great, thanks.

Fair enough. I find Friends to be incredibly unfunny and can't stand sitting through a single episode. Frasier, on the other hand, I find to be pretty entertaining (until Niles and Daphne get together, then the wheels start falling off).

Try foreign cinema. I find it refreshing to watch movies from other countries, where their different perspective and different ideas of what's important day-to-day can be really enlightening. Especially watch movies from countries you may have an underlying prejudice against to see the human side of it.

There's a boardgame I would like to get the occasionally shows up on marketplace. Once I get it, it's account deletion time.

I'd say waiting for an ambulance while a loved one dies in front of you just because assholes wouldn't get out of the way is more annoying. No doubt followed by some health insurance bullshit that makes zero sense in any other country. But no, it's the tourist who's wrong.

I trust you saw the spike in trading volume just before the tariffs were repealed? That's was insider investors love.

"Didn't let him back in". So, like, didn't let him ENTER? Reading is good and all, but you've also got to understand what it means.

Not real so far...

Referring to your girlfriend that way is not very nice.

I am absolutely sick of Windoze and I'm trying out Linux Mint for my work computer. This has been a bit of a learning curve but I have almost everything working the way I want... but the sticking point is my company uses Dropbox for all file sharing and repository.

I first naively installed Dropbox from the Software Installer but that tried to sync the entire company (many TBs) to my computer. It seems there is no Smart Sync option.

Next I installed Rclone and logged in using that, but it seems to be completely command line based which is absolutely useless. There is no way I'm going to sit here typing out full directory paths and file names every time I need to access something (which is always). I then installed RcloneBrowser, and later the Rclone web GUI, however they BOTH skip the parent folder and put me directly one level down, which is also useless.

Ok I know what you're thinking. I need to create an alias, right? So I did, and my config file now has the lines

[DB]

type = alias

remote = Dropbox:/

but this makes no difference in the web GUI or RcloneBrowser! The frustrating thing is if I use the command line the results I get are:

rclone lsd Dropbox:/ parent directory. Good so far...

rclone lsd DB: parent directory! Yay! So why doesn't this work on either GUI???

If I can't get this to work then I will have to get rid of Linux unfortunately. I can see in many forums I am not the first to have massive issues with Dropbox, but it seems the alias approach works for everyone else. What am I doing wrong?
