Ask her what “value” is.

I started using Linux in a time when package management was barely usable, and I had a broken distro as a first distro. Too often I was chasing down answers all over the internet when there were few to share, and the diy aspect of arch is rather nostalgic for me.

I have arch on a few different systems. A couple of them, I used the script as I wanted to get them up and running quickly. It was very good for that, and I still had options in the script to make many of the choices and set things up manually instead of letting the script decide.

High sugar makes me tired, and if I don’t drink plenty of water, I wake up with a headache similar to a hangover.

My cat rolls off the back of the couch quite often when he sleeps. Usually he rolls onto the seat cushions, but it’s hilarious when he goes backward and falls into the stuff we have behind the couch. For reference, we use the couch to help separate the living room and the kitchen, and we keep our cans of soda against the couch. Poor cat falls into them, we laugh, and the he walks around all embarrassed and pissed. Never hurt, though.

I know you said you can’t leave because of family and stuff, but you do need to be somewhere that will get you away from the abuse you are getting. Get an apartment in your town, that’s a good start. And travel to the closest city to you. Central Ohio? I was in Columbus recently and was really digging it out there. Take a day trip or two every so often. Get out of that atmosphere.

I will agree there. But the mining and manufacturing potential is rather insane. We could make money back rather quickly.

I’m glad to see that we are moving forward with it, I just would rather it not be by Elon. But he has the tools to get it done.

I think a moon colony was possible at minimum the mid 90’s. I only think bureaucracy got in the way along with a very stunted space shuttle.

Imagine going to a pizzeria. You’ve heard great things about it, how tasty it is and how cheap it is. Now once you get in there, there are a ton of people who don’t work there, but are telling you that the burger place down the road is bad because they are expensive and lack options. But everyone you know goes to this burger place. So you decide that a pizza is in order, but all these people are yelling and screaming about how their crust type is the best, and then you have people listing every single topping combination and the benefits of each, but nobody has a consensus on any of it. Only then will you realize that they are all waiting for their own pizza order. And once you actually get to the counter, there is no menu board and you are expected to just order a pizza. The voices of what is the better pizza are drowning out your thoughts on what you actually need, so you leave and get back in line for the same burger every other person is ordering. Maybe I can add cheese, but it’s still the same cheese. That is what the Linux community is like.

I pay for one to goon. I use the free one to parse error messages while programming.

Will Ferrell is garbage unless he is doing voice work. The only live action of his I liked is the little bit in the LEGO movie where he was the dad.

Sorry. Was supposed to be like a bowl of Spaghetti-Ohs, but the phone adjusted. Looks a bit messy and not the most conventionally attractive.

I agree with the other comments, go out on the date. Dad says your complaining that you can’t find a girl to go out with, why are you worried that he’s found someone? Afraid they are some horrid person with a crappy personality and a face like a bowl of Spaghetti? Imagine how she is feeling. Now you have something to talk about.

All capitalism is bad, and any attempt to rein it in is failure before any attempts.

And anything else in that category of blind bag collectables. Can’t do anything with it other than decorating a shelf, spend more money than it’s worth to get a whole collection and end up with too many multiples you can’t get rid of, and fake rarity.

I tried Magic Spoon based on a YouTube sponsor and I was rather disgusted with the way it tasted and felt.

I can’t speak for everything, but I can speak for e-waste. Especially printers. Those things are made cheap as hell, but constructed so you can’t just get off the shelf parts. Being able to take the machine apart, find a replacement for whatever party is broken, install, and reassemble, you might have just bought a new printer for the same cost as the part. It’s almost the same with laptops, phones/tablets, televisions, etc. Brand doesn’t matter, it’s all the same. Right to repair doesn’t mean shit if you can’t even make the repairs.

Well, shit. Time for me to book a trip to Vegas.

Dude, I’ve been there and it is AWESOME!
