I just started with PopOS a couple years ago. I’m not a power user. I’ve got one of those crappy travel printers. I think it’s Canon? I forget. It worked just fine for me.

Oh yeah, I remember that one. I feel like it bothered me, but I could swear I knew nothing about solar sails back then.

I’d be content with Proxima Centauri. But that’ll still take a little while.

I could be mistaken, but I believe NASA used the same technique with light pressure to keep Kepler oriented properly as its reaction wheels each failed in sequence.

My Surface Pro 4 was getting long in the tooth. My best friend, who uses Arch btw, kept nagging me about switching until he gave me his old laptop when he upgraded. Soon after that, my cat knocked over a beer into it and killed it. So I bought a Framework 13" and put PopOS on it, and also got a Steam Deck. I’m all in on Linux now, except for an old desktop that gets rarely used.

And now I keep my beer on the floor.

The joke didn’t work regardless.

That isn’t the criteria we use to name newly discovered species.

But you know what IS funny?

Joe Biden isn’t running for a second presidential term.

Yet you weirdos are so obsessed that you just can’t let him go. You wish he was still running. Because now y’all are about to get beat up by a girl.

Is that a joke?

Why? I don’t get it.

No. It is not a bad take. Just look at candy cigarettes.

Oh it’s just advertising? Advertising is brainwashing, and nothing more. It should be outright banned. Especially campaigns targeting children.

Gun manufacturers have been building ever better internal safeties for decades. If a gun goes off from a slip and fall, somebody is carrying like an absolute idiot, or using an obsolete pistol.

That’s not what that meant.

Even the ones that don’t have manual safeties still have automatic safeties these days.

What POS gun goes off from a slip and fall? This sounds like some serious stupidity.

Mock them more.

I mean cool, but if farts release CO2 after digestion breaks down fats and proteins, then it’s not much of a carbon sink, is it? Not to mention the scale necessary to reverse climate change. We’d have to make billions of barrels of the stuff, then pump it deep underground for long term sequestration. It’ll be so energy intensive we’ll require nuclear fusion.

Dead serious, I say we do it.

I’m not sure any good advice I grew up with applies to this future we’re stumbling into. Learn practical skills like gardening and fixing your stuff. Buy as little as you possibly can. An affordable set of basic tools is a great thing to keep for life. Consider the state of the world long and hard before you decide to bring children into it. Never talk to the police.

Not when time is of the essence.

But you’re not thinking about the short term gains for the 1%!

Correct, Boot Camp is a filter to get rid of people who are unfit for the military, and the quote on the article at the top says “I was not made for war.”

It sounded to me like you were smearing all those men who felt they were unfit for war as all cowards, and it still does. You and I both ought to know that not everybody is fit for war. If some of them are wise enough to realize that fact, that is not cowardice. Some people are not fit to fight and that doesn’t reflect poorly upon them. That’s simply how it has always been. Some are warriors. Some are not. If we dishonor those who are not, that reflects poorly on us, not them.
