The trick with selling Linux is not telling the user it’s not Windows. I used to refurb old laptops for old ladies. Throw a light version of Linux on there, show 'em the internet, maybe setup email, done. And I never got pestered to come back and fix shit.
American here. Haven’t had most, or any, of the hassle in a long time. #2 is a fucking pain though. Yes, I’m 54 and am allowed to buy spray paint. OTOH, the attendant usually clears it before I even notice.
American here. Love going to Aldi. Cheap as hell and I can bag as I like it. (My first job was grocery bag boy, I know how I want it.)
Lasers read the most fucked up UPCs now days. I can point my Lowe’s phone at a filthy, half-torn UPS, in sunlight, and it reads. I’m more surprised when it doesn’t work instantly.
Haven’t heard that in forever. It was hell for some time, but it seems a solved problem everywhere I’ve gone, for many years.
Then you will pay higher prices.
I load garden shit at Lowe’s. Sometimes we get blown out and people bitch for faster service. OK. We can always hire more people, any given business’ top expense. Then we charge more. Then the customer bitches about prices and goes to Home Depot. Where they don’t have as much staff. Rinse and repeat.
I often forget that while young people aren’t usually too wise to the ways of the world, that doesn’t mean they’re not fucking smart!
Woke to this reading a senior (high school) paper of mine 35-years later. Figured it would be childish. Holy shit! I wrote that at 17?!
Now if I could get the brain plasticity back and tack on the wisdom, I’d be a beast brain. :(
Pro tip: Modern American fans are required to have a voltage limiter chip to dial down the lights. They fail. Lots. If your fan lights don’t work, buzz, hum, whatever, take it down and cut the little fucker out, wire back together with wire nuts.
I’ve replaced two crappy fans with really nice units I found in the trash. 100 how-to’s on YT.
The Supreme Court has often stood against him and is now. He thought he could buy them, you thought he could buy them, they don’t agree with either of you.
I don’t believe this meme for a second.
Wikipedia:
The production of single-core desktop processors ended in 2013 with the Celeron G440, G460, G465 & G470.
Those are so weak it’s not even funny.
The waste, while unnecessary, is negligible. Go buy a drink, any plastic drink from anywhere, and you wasted more plastic than a K-cup.
Pro tip: Rip the top off, rinse it out, fill with dirt, perfect seed starter pod. Even has a drain hole pre-drilled. Also, chunk the coffee in your yard, garden, compost, whatever.
Depends entirely on where you’re at. Our coastal beaches are pure white and sound like popcorn (fish eating) when you’re underwater near coral.
The beaches along the rivers can be brown sand, washed down as you say, but some are pebbles instead. Never understood how two rivers so close together ended up with such different beaches.
Partly! Some women explode out the gate with a little age on them. My ex-gf was pretty in her 30s, but in her late 40s would turn heads when she walked in the room. And then there are the plain Janes in high school that turn out OMFG years later.
Same, but to be clear, we’re talking about panic attacks, right? That is exactly what the meme is talking about, or should be.
OTOH, there are these people: “Gosh! Sometimes I’m nervous in social situations and don’t know how to act! I have an anxiety disorder!”
No you don’t buttercup, you have “being a typical human disorder”. And most likely, no one even notices your discomfort. One time I was on LSD at a party and talking to a guy, freaking out internally. “Man, I’m sorry, but I’m tripping balls right now.” He had no idea!
$5,000 will easily cover diapers, food (even if not breastfeeding), clothes, etc. for a year and more.
We can play with adding other costs, but kids can be way cheaper than paying “retail”. FFS, toys, cribs, car carriers, all that shit is free, all day long. What we did pay for amounted to change, and then we sold it for change or donated it.
People have a kid, acquire all that stuff, and in a very short window suddenly have no use for it. You just about can’t give it away. LOL, how many babies can wear the same one-piece until it’s worn out? 10?! Our landlord’s wife worked a charity for baby stuff. Gave us tons of goods, we gave it back.
American here. I don’t remember paying a dime for either of our kid’s birth. Don’t think we even had copays for the doctor.

LOL, that is delicious.
Been downvoted plenty of times for saying I don’t get 1/10th of the Windows hassle lemmy talks about, probably less. Don’t have the LTSC version of 11, but it’s from a plain Jane ISO, not a factory install, which I would bet is the cause of many people’s pain.
Worked just a couple of months ago. Doubt it will this time.
The seam side goes down. The enemy’s gate is always down. You’re welcome.
