We wouldn’t exist as the US.
The job of President throughout the 20th century has involved committing crimes. If they gave that away, then all of these ghouls could potentially be prosecuted.
In the future, the former President could go to jail for the next version of Iran-Contra… and we couldn’t possibly allow that to happen.
Yeah I have the world’s smallest astigmatism in my left eye and even that was annoying for me as a kid using it.
I set up Alpine to read my Gmail last summer, and while the nostalgia hit was nice, the browser version was more responsive and useful, cap I went back to that.
Those Vaios had a monumental amount of bloatware slowing them down too.
It wasn’t really fun, and I could never see properly in it.
I think there’s an Arthur Miller quote along the lines of man cannot appreciate sky without earth, nor heaven without hell.
Smart astrophysics people I’ve talked to are excited when we see gamma bursters further out in the universe than before, because that means that the universe is bigger than previously known.
That also does not matter. Spinozan Determinism can be summed up as:
“If it could have happened any other way, it would have.”
Tri-omni God problem. The God that we are told is worthy of worship is
The presence of evil in the world demonstrates that no more than two out of those 3 can possibly be true at the same time. Thus if God does exist, he’s not all that and a bag of gummy bears.
That’s actually my favorite parasite! Toxo really wants to live inside a cat’s digestive tract, so much so that, when a rodent gets it in their blood, the baby toxos produce cysts in the brain (and liver and muscles) that hypnotize the rat into being attracted to cat poop. This leads to the rat hanging around where cats poop, and therefore getting eaten by the cat, and ending up happily back inside the cat’s GI tract.
In the old Star Wars Expanded Universe, there was mention of a Shawken Device which, if operable, could destroy the universe.
This has led me to conclude that the universe probably isn’t infinite.
In an infinite universe, all possible things should be happening at the same time. This would necessarily mean that someone invented a device/mechanism/reaction that could destroy the universe, and successfully activated it, thus ending the universe.
There are only two possible conclusions that I can draw from this thought experiment, which are not mutually exclusive:
Presidential debates are just TV for people to get mad at, especially with this election. We all already know how we’re going to vote.
Also, the incumbent President always does terribly in the first debate. This has been true in 2004, 2012, and 2020 (2020 for other reasons, though), because they haven’t debated anyone in years.
I’m expecting Biden to shit the bed.
Whatever the most recent one at the moment is.
But seriously, my wife and I watched all of the Marvel movies in release order from Iron Man through Infinity War. I watched a sone of Endgame and turned it off after a bit. Sounds like we made the right choice.
We also stopped Game of Thrones after season 7 episode 4, which appears to be the ideal place to stop to maintain good memories of the show.
While I don’t have personal experience with this, I did find this from the bad website:
Install pipewire-jack and use JACK audio device in Reaper. Also, yes make sure that wireplumber is installed.
Gentoo. Not an Arch fork, and uses OpenRC by default. I use it and love it. Portage is the best package manager out there, imo.
You can still get binaries of the really annoying things to compile, like Firefox. Otherwise, it’s all source-based.
I’d advise installing it in a VM or on a spare computer first to get your hands around what it is.
In your case, you’ll want to specify the following flags in you makefile:
OpenRC, -systemd
You’ll add a bunch of others in there too depending on architecture and personal priorities.
Follow the handbook. https://www.gentoo.org/get-started/
There’s also Calculate Linux, which is basically Gentoo with a graphical front end, but I think it’s Intel only. CLI is more fun anyway.
Debian Stable or Testing. Runs on anything, and Stable - especially - will not let you down. Ubintu, Elementary and dozens of others are downstream of Debian. Bookworm is a great experience, so why not go to the source?
“Testing” is described as containing packages that are still in the queue to be accepted into Stable.
“Unstable” branch is all the newest stuff, whether it works or not.
If you’re in school for anything computer-related, once you’ve settled on a distro, you could also start playing with Gentoo.
Yup - vst is OS-agnostic.
Yes, but that’s not possible.
