And I’m sure you are correct about that, but I acclimated to metric measurement for both length and temp at work. Measuring size is just better that way and I’ve abandoned imperial entirely even for home projects, and the temperatures we deal with at work are big, so the Celsius scale fits. Maybe I compartmentalized, IDK.

Baked. She looks baked. Lol

I barely drink at all anymore but that sounds like a wonderful way to begin a Saturday once or twice a year.

0 as freezing isn’t bad, but boiling at 100 feels wrong. It’s not enough of a difference. Fahrenheit’s number values may be a little wonky and arbitrary seeming but it gives a better sense of scale.

There are old mushroom hunters. There are bold mushroom hunters. There are no old bold mushroom hunters.

I have unironically called basketball roundball for over 3 decades.

Sports are practically a religion in this country and I hate religion.

And apologize the whole time they are doing it.

Sportsball

You can have the Fahrenheit temperature scale when you peel it from my cold, dead hands. Metric is great for measuring size and weight and I suppose distance (though miles sounds so much nicer than kilometers), but the Celsius scale is too short until you get into really high temperatures.

Rugby is older than American football? Huh. I’m going to annoy the shit out of my coworkers with that little gem.

I tried Ubuntu first, because I had heard of it, and too many things didn’t work. At the time I was still on that other link aggregator platform and the Linux nerds there told me to try Mint and they were right. It just worked and I have happily run that ever since. It does what I do and isn’t Microsoft or the overpriced fruit company. I have no urge to distro hop at all. Fussing with my computer isn’t fun for me, I just want to use it sometimes. I agree, though, Linux is good and there’s something for everyone.

I saw no mention of Clutch

I tried Ubuntu first and my laptop didn’t like it, and I wasn’t even a little interested in fighting with my computer just to get to use it. The sock scale is probably fair in representing how deep the user wants to get in just to operate. As a Mint user i can say I just dip my feet in Linux to feel the not Windows.

Mint us absolutely perfect for folks like me. I want to use my computer, not work on it. I have Blender, a couple of slicers, GIMP, a couple of DAW type programs and a few other things. Perfect computer. I have no interest in the bleeding edge. Now granted, I don’t game, which saves me some grief but I guess kinda marginalizes me these days, and I’m not even hobbyist level savvy in the console, but I do hate both Microsoft and Apple, ta-da!, Mint. If there’s a better distro for me, I don’t care, I like mint.

The kids’ new slang is fucking stupid. My son last night was excited about his skills in the game he was playing and told me he was " cracked " … cracked?

Man, like, I know we used " bad " to mean good, but come on. Cracked? Cracked is a crazy person. Cracked is how we pirated computer games. Cracked is your engine block after you poured cold water in an overheated car.

This is even stupider than " crashing out " meaning you threw a temper tantrum instead of falling asleep after an up all night acid trip.

I fucking hate it.

This country has a long history of dumb cops. ICE is stuck with what doesn’t even qualify for police work. Stupid people don’t question orders, and tend to resort to violence first in stressful situations and that is exactly the kind of people that ICE wants.

Man, some of us are annoyed every time we have to drive into town to shop for groceries or go to work. I’m surrounded by nature at home. I don’t want to travel. You’d have to B. A. Baracas me to get me on an airplane or boat. I neither need nor want a passport.
