Madness lies in that direction.

I can use Vim, it was the choice for years. But I actually like using nano because it’s what I need and all I need.

I just asked Goggle Gemini 3 “The car is 50 miles away. Should I walk or drive?”

In its breakdown comparison between walking and driving, under walking the last reason to not walk was labeled “Recovery: 3 days of ice baths and regret.”

And under reasons to walk, “You are a character in a post-apocalyptic novel.”

Me thinks I detect notes of sarcasm…

The worst part of immutable versions is when you go searching for help, you need to be careful about answers that might be presented to you.

For example, if I search for "how to install nVidia drivers in Fedora Kinonite 43, the first returns can often be for Fedora Plasma 43. Those terminal commands for Plasma won’t work for Kinonite. And even updating is different. Instead of sudo dnf update for regular Fedora desktops, you need to type rpm-ostree update for atomic versions.

Edge cases are well, on the edge and sometimes you just need to let them go. You can’t always be everything to everyone.

That’s the rub isn’t it. It’s good, but not quite good enough all the time, every time.

It’s called collaboration. When I worked as a toolmaker, I needed to use SolidWorks, despite not being a big fan, because our customers used SW and they were often literally on the other side of the planet.

I’ve had tinnitus since I was maybe 4 or 5 years old. A high end sound system is cool to look at, but wasted on me. Those $30 computer speakers are just fine.

But morons with money to spend! The best kind of moron.

I’ve put barbed wire up, I’ve taken it down. It ain’t that hard. Just cut it into lengths you can easily coil by hand if you don’t have a winding machine.

Personally I think woven wire fencing is a bigger pain in the ass. All that grass and weeds growing through it and then rolling it back up.

Everyone just wants to get fucked up.

A good magahat never lets a tragedy and grief get in the way of turning a profit. I too am impressed by the profits made…

French cooking is cheap peasant foods with lipstick applied and loads of makeup to try and cover up that fact.

In the very early days of the colonial Americas, indentured servants along the eastern seaboard would sometimes go on strike to protest all the lobster they were fed because it was abundant and very cheap.

So yes, people get tired of the same old, same old foods every day.

Nope. Biscuits and gravy is the very best breakfast. A pair of fresh handmade biscuits hot out of the oven and smothered in a white gravy with bits of spicy pork sausages and loads of black pepper for bite. A meal fit to fight whatever the day throws at you. Although fried chicken and waffles is a fine substitute. And smoked ribs, brisket, or pork butt cooked low and slow and infused with hours of hardwood smoke might be perfection itself. If you have the desire, your patience will be rewarded with meats that are unrivaled in this world.

But, like everything else in this world, cuisines are built upon whatever scraps of food that were handy and flavored with whatever seasonings that could be bought or scrounged. Local cuisines died when the first trader brought home something new to eat. It’s all just a mish-mash of ideas and methods now. And good food is as easy to find as bad food is.

As it was told to me when I was young, “The more things you need to carry everyday, the less important you are. The less you need to carry everyday, the more important you are.”

Sadly, there is a kernel of truth there.

I would be inclined to listen to their trade offers of California. I would also offer Minnesota to Canada for a future draft pick…

I thought TimeShift was a bit of a pain to restore from. So I switched to Deja Dup and haven’t had any issues with it.

After using TimeShift, I find Deja Dup better than TimeShift.

So, you don’t live where frosted pavement and black ice are a thing? And temperatures seldom dip below freezing.
