This is the reason I can’t join a normal gym, I have to pay a high fee for a premium gym membership so that I can use the washroom without gagging or finding some dude jacking off in front of the mirrors in the middle of the night.

My wife is a teacher, she switched schools so she could be a department head (if they work for a term as one they get paid more in retirement). Her old school was brand new, A/C in the whole school, almost all windows. Her new school is like a prison complex, no windows in her classroom at all, all the brick and concrete blocks cell signal so she disappears digitally during school hours. She does have a 70’s science classroom though, so floor to ceiling glass cabinets full of real borosilicate lab glass. I had fun there while she was moving into her classroom.

If you get bored later on try CachyOS. An update borked my eOS install and somehow screwed up my snapshots. So rather than deal with it, I tried out Cachy (Arch base) and just never went back. It has some quirks, but I haven’t had any issues for the past 6 months. And it’s fast.

A friend of a friend is a dairy farmer, and we were at his place and I was introduced to raw milk for the first time, and I did not enjoy the experience, nor do I understand people who seek it out.

It is alot better, I keep hesitating on dropping the money for an equivalent amd card. I keep telling myself I’ll do vfio and try looking glass. Then I look into the config and shudder. I can deal with a restart a day.

That’s a good idea actually. I hate writing regex, so I asked Gemini to do it just now. Once I explained it in the format it wanted: what the source would be, what I wanted filtered and the language I planned to use it with it spat out a perfect expression without me needing to even use my brain. Technology is wonderful.

Depends, my browser has mostly taken over as my pdf viewer and I think it lacks the functionality but if I were to install a cracked copy of Acrobat Pro or PhantomPDF then that’s like a 2 click operation.

All the tech executives from silicon valley that are our age all restrict cellphone use by their kids. If the people creating the tech that ruined a generation don’t let them use their own devices that say a lot.

Definitely, and modded Minecraft has taken a great game and made it so much better. The “Create” mod alone has made MC so much more than what Mojang intended.

And the launchers available for Linux let you use modpacks from every source including FTB, letting you forgo a launcher full of ads.

Yea, I like to suspend my machine, but rather than hit suspend and walk away I have to wait to find out what has prevented suspend from suspending. That and it trying to goto sleep when I don’t want it to. Drives me nuts

First 8 months on Ozempic: “Why the hell does my stomach hurt so much? Oh, I haven’t eaten for 3 days.”

The first couple weeks I had to set an alarm to remind me to eat. 3 years later I wish it still had the appetite suppression. I’ve thought about Wegovy but I’ve finally stopped having the Ozempic side effects, and I don’t hate myself enough to go through with that again.

Exactly, and maybe spend a couple hundred for a Japanese replica and all the functions might work.

Or buy a replica, for a very small fraction of the price and see if anyone ever knows the difference.

I have a $350 Japanese made replica of a Patek Philippe Grand Complication, everything works on it. To me it is indistinguishable from the real thing and didn’t cost me $300,000
