  • Gonna try to answer this as neutral as I can but frankly speaking when they said “I do” they made a pact to respect each other’s wishes and to establish whatever boundaries they deem is necessary to keep both themselves and each other happy amongst other things. Although some outsiders might have different opinions on what’s right or wrong that doesn’t mean that it applies to what they consider is right or wrong. If the husband said they didn’t feel comfortable and the partner is respecting their partners feelings, not being forced to, it doesn’t give another person outside the right to say that they are in the wrong since its their relationship. Unless you think she’s being physical, mentally abused or manipulated which judging from the story is a no.

    Screw it go for it think the only thing holding you down is cost of materials and machining especially if you’re adding a message to it, if its just an artifact/statue you’re shooting for maybe opt for a more budget and workable material than tungsten. Some kind of industrial metal you can work with like steel or even aluminum may be a better alternative stone material (granite or marble) being the best IMO for longevity, encase it in epoxy and then put in a PVC pipe with desiccant for added measure. Finding a location where it won’t be disturbed is probably the hardest part of this. Can’t be exposed to UV light or harsh chemicals, so ocean is out (think its illegal to dump there too). If burying, it needs to be below the frost line for sure in fairly stable ground, with good chemical makeup of the soil, where people won’t interact with it. I personally can’t come up with a legal means so you might have to get permission from some kind of protected grounds like a national park or something. Even then at most it will last maybe a couple thousand years, longer if using stone material instead of metal







  • Kinda don’t think you can its one of the beauties of Linux, there’s so many different flavors of it. Best thing that would’ve helped me as a beginner would’ve been like a collection of all the wiki’s and basic knowledge in a single space instead of searching through different sites for a problem or terminal commands, which I bet exists but I just never looked too hard. Also documentation of common problems would’ve been big for me (especially for older devices) like drivers no longer being supported by kernels and solutions like using the open source version instead.



  • I use my spare as kind of a media controller sort of speak thanks to kdeconnect and casting locally. In the near future, I want to get into emulation so that might be what the spare phone gets used for instead with the help of one of those cheap steam deck docks for USB C. As for more creative ideas, I heard some people use them as a dedicated GPS, media player or even a dashcam for their cars (not sure how the battery would hold up in the heat and whatnot). You can use it to remote view your pc or even play games from that same pc or even one you don’t own through cloud gaming. You can repurpose it to be a 2fa device only, so you can keep your TOTPs and other 2fa methods separated from your main assuming the device is up to date security wise. If the camera and whatnot are decent maybe keep it as a spare camera for all your video/picture needs (online meetings, video recording, document scanner, etc…) a dock might be useful for that. If your spare has that desktop like experience when you connect it via HDMI there’s nothing stopping you from using it as a really lightweight computer to do basic web stuff. These are really vague answers since I don’t know what phone you have but I hope it helps get the ball rolling



  • Like age? Couldn’t really afford that many luxuries growing up so my first real phone was at 17, some kind of kyocera, as for my first computer think I was 11. The computer was actually a laptop, a Sony VAIO, from a thrift store. The keyboard, trackpad, battery and speakers didn’t work and the screen had damage so I got a hell of a deal on it. Didn’t know how to fix it at the time, so I just used USB peripherals, connected it to my TV and threw on lubuntu, that beast lasted me for another 6 years until I went to college.
