I always recommend Mint to wundows converts. It looks like the windows UI, just works out of the box 99% of the time, and has a huge user base that is happy to provide assistance

Who da fuq knows. I think South Park had it the closest with the chicken voodoo ritual to determine credit score

My company required everyone come back to the office. My team works in a terminal, we can do our work from anywhere. Everyone of my department went back in. I said no.

They said I could be terminated

I said go ahead and fire me, I’m the lead tech, 40 experience, I built and maintain more then half of the automation, I’m the only one who understands networking onprem and I cloud and has a security background.

I dare you.

They said they would make a special exemption for me.

The moral of the story… You can demand stuff from your company if your company can’t function without you.

Did they leave the beacon on again, which just happens to be cross shaped?

It does. Or can just send the recorded message to your email as a .wav attachment.

I use this.

I have Ms VoIP as my provider. $1 month per line and 1 cent per min.

I have a grand stream sip adapter… Configured with my providers info and my creds. Phone can plug into it. Works just fine. Plus you can use any sip client to connect to the same line from mobile or PC.

Also, my old house had pots lines in every room. I took my grand stream and wired it into the house, not a phone. So I can plug regular phones into any of the original outlets and it works as it directly connected to the grand stream. I have 4 regular phones all running over original wires into the grandstream using sip

I did it for ya…good luck with your phd

It’s all about privacy.

I am amazed at services offered that run rampant in the home.

My ISP offers fiber. But only if you also sign up for managed wifi where they manage your internal net…no way

I got a quote for solar power…but they must use a 3rd party cloud to manage your power and it uses eth over electrical … If you use eth over electrical already, then it does whatever it wants in your home network …no way.

Cell phones? They all go into a guest wifi…not on my home network.

I’ve used pop is for years now. No major complaints.

Take the lesson. While learning, stay off of hills and any upward incline until you got a feel from taking the car from full stop to going in 1at gear.

While learning you will stall the car… Don’t let it bother you.

The trickiest part is learning how to ease the clutch while applying gas to go from full stop to motion forward.

Remember neutral when coming to a stop.

Manuals are great, it’s built in theft protection from like 95 % of people

I want to add 1 thing…graphics drivers have come a long way. Nvidia is a good example where some diatros come pre loaded to support Nvidia…like popOS. Check your vid card for distro compatibility

Legal items aside. My wife has my back and I have hers. Having a partner in life you can trust with yours is a special thing.

It doesn’t have to even be man and woman. I know a group of older men who have a group dynamic where they are all basically each other’s partners…not sexually, just supportive.

Universal media server works for me. I run it headless on a small instance. Streams my movies and music just fine.

Zim is sooooooo high strung for every little thing. Reminds me of me

It’s not an autobus, it’s la guagua

It’s not un banana, it’s un gineo

It’s not automovil, it’s El carro

I can keep going.

Dominican here so my Spanish includes…

Que vaina

Un molote

Un mojonera

Mojiganga

Sana sana colito de rana

Yes.

Trumps tariffs hit Canadian lumber.

This causes fake crisis in lumber prices.

Trump leases land to us lumber companies who now sell lumber… Remember it’s more expensive than what Canadian lumber costs, but Trump handled that with tariffs… Now us lumber is artificially cheaper than Canadian.

= Trumps rich friends profit while Americans pay more for lumber and lose national parks

Same result for me. I’m sure I can buy thimbstick caps or something to cover them.

I went to use my old PS2 the other night after many years. The controllers thumpads had turned into this sticky, rubbery, goo. Gross. I couldn’t play it

First off…you are a great parent. Respect. The most important thing I wish I heard at 14 is that changes are normal, sexual desire is normal, a teenagers body is spurting growth and this may be awkward, but also normal.

When I was 14, my knees hurt because of my growth spurts.

When I was 14, there were a lot of awkward arousals that I had to cover with my back back.

When I was 14, I was still smaller compared to others, by 18 I was towering above everybody.

When I was 14 I was a coward with girls. When I really shouldn’t have been.

When I was 14, I was bullied, and wish with all my heart, I would have Stood up for myself…if I had a cthwr figure to tell me that instead of teachers telling me to be peaceful Instead.

Hell, maybe a big brother program would help.

Hell, if you are desperate, DM me…maybe I can help

Creating the fusion sun was Ocks plan. The tentacles he invent to help create the sun…it was their only purpose. So when the inhibitor chip broke, that ai leeched I to doc and he became obsessed with recreating the experiment.
