I didn’t do that specifically, but one of my grandfathers was an insurance salesman and worked out of a home office before he retired.

He still had all of his things by the time my sister and I would play at their house as kids, and we would spend HOURS playing office. Typing memos to each other, cutting paper, using white out, etc.

It was actually a mistranslation. The original Hebrew can also be translated as “burning kush.”

You say objectively but really mean subjectively.

I mean, I prefer my Framework running Linux too, but the Apple laptop still has a nicer keyboard and touchpad. I hope I never have to fix my MacBook though…

I haven’t read the Andromeda Strain…I guess I shouldn’t?

I actually enjoyed 90% of Sphere, but then the ending just…killed it. Like, it comes off as if he just got sick of writing the story despite not having a way to end it.

The Sphere. I’ve never hated the ending to a book more.

The only thing worse than a bad joke is no joke at all.

The larger one looks like two overlapping footprints.

I feel like cannibalism has to be an intentional act.

Like, I happen to smell other peoples farts, but I’m not a fart sniffer.

I use Bluefin myself, and it’s honestly been game changing. Using an immutable distro has been the greatest quality of life upgrade in my 15 years of using Linux.

Also, if you use distrobox (automatically installed with Bluefin, Aurora, Bazzite, etc.) you can even setup an Arch container and continue to use the AUR. I use Steam installed from within an Arch container and it doesn’t feel any different from a natively installed app. It also means I don’t have to use the Steam flatpak which I had a couple issues with.

Another problem is that talking to Trump is infuriating in and of itself.
