At their heart, most distros are approximately “made of the same stuff”. There’s differences in package management in the background (e.g. how the “software centre” works), but essentially the difference between a “gaming distro”, “normal distro” and “creative distro” is just what programs are installed by default, and how a few things are set up by default.

Nothing stops me playing games on Mint (and historically, Ubuntu and Ubuntu Studio) - and likewise, nothing will stop you installing office programs, audio/video/graphics programs etc on something presented as a gaming distro.

There’s a sort of order from least to most destructive:

Exactly correct driver >
using an elastic band or other thin piece of rubber, between driver and screw, for grip >
different screwdriver that fits differently (e.g. a small flat driver in any cross-headed screw) >
again, with elastic/rubber >
other, unlikely drivers >
other grippy options, like steel wool >
superglue the driver to the screw >
epoxy resin a driver to the screw >
cut a new flat-head into the screw head with a dremel >
use a screw extracting bit >
drill out the screw head >
cut or drill out the plastic surround

I’m sure there’s other options I’ve not remembered. A lot of it depends on which screw is stuck, and how accessible it is.

All meals in Britain are called “dinner” somewhere in the country :)

Tim is an enchanter, who warns them about the dangerous rabbit. He’s a separate weird-guy-with-a-cloak than the keeper of the bridge.

And we call Mar-a-Lago “Gulf of Pedophiles”.

Beautifully done.

Ah, “Windows Machine Learning”.

That makes a lot more sense than “Windows Marxist-Leninist”.

All solid advice. May also have an ingredient sensitivity to something like “sodium laureth sulphate”, which can cause dry skin and flaking, or massively inflame existing psoriasis or dry skin.

Obviously, they’d be in danger of learning something.

There is just one incredibly long cat, climbing through a hole in the sofa.

I don’t even think there’d be that much disagreement.

“Oh, do you hate ‘libs’ and love Putin too?”

Or “Minors always granted access”

Duckduckgo’s AI:

“The phrase “a lady butterfly meme a day keeps the doctor away” is a playful twist on the well-known saying “an apple a day keeps the doctor away.” This original phrase suggests that eating an apple daily can contribute to good health and potentially reduce the need for medical attention.”

“In this variation, the mention of “lady butterfly meme” likely refers to a specific meme or a lighthearted, humorous image that brings joy or laughter. The implication is that engaging with fun or uplifting content, like memes, can have a positive effect on one’s mental health and overall well-being, similar to how healthy eating is associated with physical health.”

“Overall, it emphasizes the importance of humor and positivity in daily life as a way to maintain good health, particularly mental health.”

Seems like everything is these days.

I don’t personally remember them, but in the pub I used to work in, in the late 90s/early 2000s (about 10-15 years ago) one of the locals always used to ask for them as part of his “ordering crisps joke he did every day for years on end”.

“Do you have any hedgehog flavour Crisps?”
“Okay, do you have any helicopter flavour crisps?”
“No helicopter? I guess I’ll just have plane (plain) then”

Basically, yes. It’s all explained in the Epstein Files.

Sorry to upset people thinking of him dieing soon, but they’re going to sit him in a gold throne, kept barely alive, in suspended animation, then keep him alive and in charge for 40,000 years.

They’ll use AI every time they want him to “say something”.

I think most of the people disagreeing with the post are from the USA, which has completely different costs/taxes/prices etc.

In the UK (as the original post is), it depends where you live - our mortgage is about £350 per month (5 bed terrace), but if would have been almost £500 a month without the deposit. Rent in the area is about £600 - £1500 per month, for similar or smaller properties.

Note that this is in Northern UK, in the sort of town sometimes described as “a bit of a shithole”. I could get a train to a town an hour away and the prices would literally double - but the ratio between mortgage and rent would be pretty much the same.

Even with the cost of repairs, and a tiny bit on insurance etc, it’s a significant saving. Also, the repairs actually get done, which was not the experience I had in rented accommodation.

An arms fair sounds like the least fun type of fair.

This is brilliant and inspiring. I’m so thankful for people like this, using their skills for the benefit of everyone.
