Similar but different, we have a kitten and it’s funny to see him trying to figure things out. The other day he just stared at our Keurig when I was making coffee. We don’t use it that often and I guess he hadn’t seen it in action before.

My wife and my cats. We got a kitten a few months after my older cat passed and it turned out to be a really good decision (even though he does drive us crazy sometimes, because kittens are basically toddlers with pointy teeth and claws and a 1-meter vertical leap). Not saying kittens are a cure for depression, but it helps.

I really loved Garuda but the rolling updates kept breaking my NVIDIA drivers :(

If someone still wants “Arch but also nice,” I’d point them at Garuda tbh. I really liked it but the rolling updates kept breaking my NVIDIA drivers. If not for that I might still be using it.

I feel like you made this chart for me specifically, so thank you

1. You are doing exactly what the OP was talking about, looking down on something harmless
2. “Degenerate/degeneracy” are literal Nazi words and you should probably stop using them [Edit: formatting weirdness]

A slightly more positive way of putting this is “choosing the set of problems you want to deal with.” I vastly prefer the problems that Linux hands me over the problems with Windows.

Her first name. I think I’m “Firstname Lastname” in her phone but my name is more common than hers.

You can also rub your tongue on your soft palate to stop a sneeze but it tickles

You are the first person I have ever met (other than my mom, who I learned it from) who does the “sleep upside down” thing. It totally works!

I worked in a grocery store deli that made sandwiches, and we’d precut meat “kits” for the popular sandwiches to save time during the lunch rush (like Cuban, Italian, etc). We’d slice them for whole sub sandwiches, and then if someone ordered a half sub, we’d just cut the kits in half and put the other half back in the drawer.

One day, a girl I’ll call “Becky” was working the sandwich counter, and someone ordered a whole Italian sub. There were no whole Italian kits in the drawer, but there were two presliced halves.

It took like three people to explain to Becky how to solve this problem, and even then I’m not sure she ever fully understood.

I live in the general vicinity of Waverly Hills Sanatarium, if that counts. Also one of my friends said she saw a ghost in this old apartment building I used to live in.

Honestly, if you’re mostly using Steam for gaming, pretty much any major distro will work. Linux Mint is my personal choice for newbies but if something else strikes your fancy, go for it. I second the recommendation for checking on ProtonDB to see if your games are supported. I would also recommend ProtonUp-Qt as a program once you’ve installed Linux; it’s really good for managing different Proton installs on Steam quickly and easily. Also also, I have personally had better luck with the Flatpak version of Steam, rather than the native distro versions, because it has less weird dependency issues, but YMMV. Good luck!

originates from an Okinawan island with the longes average lifspan in the world.

Are we sure that the lifespan thing isn’t just benefits fraud

Same. I’ve been using KISS for years. It would feel weird to use anything else at this point.

Nah, there was actual effort put into TempleOS.

Fitness Adventure Pro for the Switch. Is it an amazing game? No. But it is a fitness game, which means I can get a workout without any equipment to set up and break down, and without having to leave my house. I’ve only been using it a few weeks and I can already feel a difference.

The “tastes worse from a press” is entirely dependent on the material of the press you’re using. Garlic reacts with stainless steel, hence those stainless steel “soap bars” they make to remove garlic smell from your hands. I got a zinc press for this exact reason.

I was 21 in 2008. The cat in my profile pic, Oscar, was born in April that year, and I adopted her in June. She died of complications from kidney disease last July, at the age of 17. Time moves too fast.

Having suffered with untreated sleep apnea for several years (I have a CPAP now, thank God), I can tell you that you’re not gonna be able to do this for four week, let alone four years. Sleep deprivation won’t kill you instantly but it will make you feel like you’re dying, and also make you want to be dead. Whatever the solution to your problems is, this ain’t it.
