I find it interesting that simply having been involved in litigation (I got sued once for an art piece) seems to be enough that I go home every time I’m called for jury duty. They really do want people with no idea.

This seems more like a motorcycle than a bike to me, but you know, I’m here for it. If the US gets more scooter culture (like Asia), it’d do wonders for the flow of traffic. Right now, cars have just gotten so huge and so dangerous they scare the heck out of me - nothing like 8,000# of low-visibility vehicle with one occupant hurtling down a 45 mph road at 65 to discourage me from being out there.

It’s sort of like “would you rather fight 1 elephant sized ant or 1,000 ant-sized elephants”

A turnip truck just doesn’t pack them in like a taco truck.

I liked the drill attachment ones, I might get one next time. Thanks for checking them out, and the feedback :)

Oh for sure, I am doing them just for the fun of putting more out there. I’m a fan of the genre, I find repairing things to be very punk. Makes me happy to see something broken/useless/damaged/worn become useful and productive again.

Such an awesome editor, I use it regularly to make little repair videos.

We can’t have anything nice

I say this to be fair, since I’ve used Debian since almost the very beginning: Debian is a bit more complicated to set up.

I generally find when people ask me for help, they’re either on Ubuntu or on Fedora (in which case I direct them to someone else for help). Sometimes they’re gamers or using something where Debian + tweaks is ideal, but often I just help them configure Debian, or just help them get their Ubuntu where they want it.

I don’t know, this was for a system on kubuntu 24.04, the latest up there. I removed it, replaced it with debian and kde - my friend isn’t a gamer, doesn’t require anything bleeding edge, so that was just a better choice in our opinion.

Only tangentially related - but a friend brought over a new kubuntu install and Canonical had the cheek to demand money for VLC patches? They don’t fing own VLC. What the actual f is going on over there, Canonical?

I just recently de-snapped yet another ubuntu system. Couldn’t agree more. I use debian standard for all of my stuff, and I agree with your ranking.

Everyone is doing this, partially to stop AI scrapers and bots. It’s a bit weird on an “about” page, but welcome to 2025 and the dead internet.

It does what now? Why would it do that?

Finding books. I have no idea why I do that, when there’s a bookstore I really enjoy right across the lot from me, but i’ll literally browse book reviews for 30 mins before wandering over there and just… buying whatever looks good.

Total waste of time, I didn’t value the opinions of the reviewers in the first place, and the process is always inconclusive.
