Ha. I had a coworker gift me a high end amp because the volume was all crackly. Opened it up sprayed electronic cleaner on the volume rheostat thingy and gave it a few back and forth turns. Perfect sound. I offered it back but he’d already purchased a new one. :/

The technicality is, it’s not a replay of somebodies content with changes, it’s “Hey look at me reacting to another’s content”

We have that with Purolator, guy didn’t knock just sticker, didn’t even have package out of the truck. I was yelling trying to get his attention as he walked off, he did not even bother looking back. Another time work shipped me a $4000 workstation with signature request. They didn’t bother walking up the 3 steps to the house, just left it on the path at bottom of steps near the main road sidewalk. I only saw it because I kept checking if they had arrived yet…had I been 5-10 minutes later somebody would have seen it and could have walked off with it.

My daughter was in a state searching all over before she left the house, when I asked what she was looking for, she said “my phone”. My other daughter piped up " you have it to your ear, you are talking on it"

Fair, I mean I have done that too, and would not recommend LOL

If you happen to choose OpenSUSE, the " install recommends " will detect nVidia and load some drivers to get it working, but you can also add a specific repo nVidia hosts for Leap and Tumbleweed and download the Drivers / Cuda etc. They work great, so ignore the previous commentor. Laptops with dual GPU need you to setup a switching app to save power, when you don’t need to power the nVidia. If your BIOS has a discrete graphics mode selection, you can choose hybrid, but if your OS has trouble you can set it to discrete only so nVidia is always used. I had to do this on one machine because the OS saw the two GPUs and was trying to treat them has two displays instead of one composite display choice

If you are on something like openSUSE, nVidia hosts a repo just for OpenSUSE Leap ams Tumbleweed, and that’s exactly where you get them from, and they work.

There are a few distros that make gaming on Linux a bit simpler to setup. Bazzite is one, but there are others. You should read up on WINE, Vulkan, Lutris and maybe STEAM/Steam-tricks. There is a list somewhere of game titles and peoples success with gaming on Linux. Some of the ones that expect Windows Anticheat hooks aren’t going to work. If you aren’t wanting to fiddle till your system is setup to game nicely, there is a W10 LTSC version that will still be supported for some time.

Maybe for poofing out a skirt after travel, the snaps so you can collapse the hoop for travel?

It’s a two key deadbolt, no flipper, just keyhole either side. They are illegal here for exit doors

They meant if it is spring loaded bolt. Locked it, the close door which latches

I still have my Logitech BT mouse from 2005. Still working great. Are their newer products bad?

No pictures? Don’t leave us hanging.

I don’t think about suicide, but when my wife asks "aren’t you sad you will die one day? . I’m like “no, sad for the kids, but I will be dead, I won’t know and I won’t have to work in the morning–So that Seems fine.”

I hate things like North America is supporting Israel and so many kids are dying because Premiers and Presidents aren’t stepping in. It makes me weary, but I try to do small things to make other peoples lives better.

Sometimes that has been making homemade bread and soup to hand out to homeless peopl. Sometimes its seeing a craigslist ad of somebody getting rid of something they think is broken, and I’ll respond with instructions on how it can be saved. The happy replies when you just saved somebody a $350+ repair bill (or cost of rebuying something) are worth it.

Two separate EFI boot Partitions if you dual boot. Its not worth letting Windows know about linux. Linux chainloads to Windows boot.

It’s like teens and IPhones, they don’t care if they pickup a used 3 year old iPhone for more money than a new Android, they want the iPhone branding

You are missing reasons in your bullet points like: belief in the greater good, patriotism, there are provably many more reasona

The 60s is just a “oops I actually wanted to do X thing tbefore shudown”. So you don’t have to reboot for your forgotten task you meant to do

Depends on how often you might use it. It does make tasks a lot easier. Also if you just need the bike to be vertical for tasks but don’t need the bike wheels up off the ground I picked up the front quick release axle that has built in angle brackets, I have screwed this mount to a block of wood. So If I’m cleaning or adjusting nuts, I take off front wheel and mount the forks in the special axle.

Its a 2010 IOMega Home media hard drive, with OEM OS wiped off, and Debian imstalled. 32 bit armv6 board. Since it only has 256Mb the 3.12 kernel is the latest that would install, newer give errors about size, so I have it blocked from internet access. But you can see from the screen capture that once running is barely takes up 30% of that 256MB. Music streaming was my last use, previously was movie streaming using twonky until we got a 4k TV. Image is a few months back when it wasrunning openmediavault but I built a new server recently and this might just become a ups monitor or something. PS my date is wrong LOL 01 09 2025 vs 09 01 2025 I assume is what I did.
