It's made for people of a certain age, and those people don't go to the movies much I think.

Paying 20% - 40% more for dumbed-down OS that limits what software I can use. I mean literally any one of those alone is a deal breaker. It was never gonna work.

I first used Linux in the late 90s, and it was just something that worked better on an older box. I installed Red Hat on an old 286 and the fun part was honestly getting it to work and learning about computers. Then one day I realized that I was spending all my free time working inside on this thing, but I was living on the water, in the Florida Keys, with access to boats and jet skis and pretty much anything. That had been my dream my whole life and all of a sudden I was living it. And I didn't even have to be at work, right next door, until 10am. I was on a break from school then, and that's actually what caused me to change my major from CS. I didn't think it would be helpful to spend my whole life indoors!

Now I'm a physics teacher and I sometimes teach my 9th graders how to use Python for simple things like graphing. I love my life and I'm really thankful I keot computers as a hobby rather than as my profession.

It may not be intentional, not plenty of women feel harmed, belittled, and ignored by the use of language like that. So we should stop using it. It doesn't add anything, and it does, in fact, harm people.

And for the record, it's not the meme, it's the title of the post. I just think that making the explicit or implied assumption that you're talking to a bunch of dudes whenever you post online is just not helpful, that's all.

I mean we're not all fellas. No need to refer to a specific gender, right?

Avoiding casual misogyny is also important. You should avoid using gendered language like that when there's really no need.

"Fellas"? Do you not want any input from non-fellas?

You can eventually start camping solo, but you're going to have a much harder time learning how to do it if you're alone. The idea is to go calling with people until you're well-versed enough to go out alone.

8:30-3:00 baby, though honestly 3:45 or 4:00 would be better. I get 40 minutes for lunch and 90 minutes alone without students. I've got it nice.

I'm not seeing the most basic bit of advice in my brief perusal, but even so it needs repeating: find a camping buddy. That is by far the easiest way to get into camping. And honestly you shouldn't be going out on your own as a novice anyway.

Ask the people you know, or the people THEY know. If that doesn't work then try local camping groups near you. Lots of people are looking for others to go camping with, so you're a commodity! Get together with them before your first trip to go over packing lists and menus, and maybe even go grocery shopping together before hand. I really didn't recommend going out there in your own, buying everything you need, etc etc. Start with someone else, see if you're into it, and next steps will be obvious. You were born to live out there, it comes pretty naturally no matter how many thousands of years your people have been in the city--you were out there much much longer!

Flying the flag upside is a distress signal. People who use it as a political statement are misusing the flag, and that is the actual disrespect here.
