Stop buying take out food. Since pandemic starts we now make all food at home. Last week we were out of town and had to stop on the way home for dinner, two sub’s at subway was $26. Normally that $26 at our local independent grocer gives us more than a week of food.

In good cities (countries) you take a train, and take the bus to the train station, where the bus lowers itself to the pavement so you can wheel right in. I’m guessing you live in USA though.

Well said. Also a Honda and Toyota owner here :). When I started learning Linux there was so much hype around Arch…I installed it and then Meh pretty much like any other Linux, except things weren’t tweaked to function as a cohesive whole. Arch people complaining about btrfs filling drive, or nVidia issues. So I went back to OpenSUSE Leap. It works. Btrfs snapshotting built in to any time you alter system, backend chronjobs for balance and cleanup. nVidia driver hosted directly by nVidia and specific for OpenSUSE. Why would I want life on hard mode.

I went to an event in Alberta, at lunch break I looked at the restaurants in the events center. My vegetarian option was French fries. The rest was hamburger, beef on a bun, beef soup, beef kebabs etc

Mint is a solid choice for being a dependable install.

Hardware sometimes makes install / use different amongst everyone.

I.e. I had an old Dell Server Tower from 2007, it would not stay shutdown, so had to add a kernel quirk parameter value to boot options tell the components not to rewake the motherboard on shutdown

Its not a big problem like it is made out to be. There are some distros that don’t ship nVidia drivers (and so you have to find the repo in your distro that does come contain it. I.e. Debian has an repo for it that isn’t readily advertised) so some people have had a hard time. Some distros are just a checkbox this add nVidia. Some like SUSE/OpenSUSE have a repo that nVidia specifically hosts and maintains. So results vary, but I can say I have not had issues with nVidia

Pretty good rant.

If anyone likes pumpkin pie for thanksgiving, but doesn’t want to use milk/eggs…this recipe turns out amazing, and family didn’t notice it was Vegan. https://www.noracooks.com/vegan-pumpkin-pie/

It really depends on where you live. Being in BC we have so many Vegan and Vegetarian places that finding food outside of the home is easy. Visiting Calgary AB though, good luck.

As a Vegan, I can honestly say some Vegans are the worst. LOL. And I have found through the online rave review of products that Vegans are liars too. :)

When my wife brings a product home that had great reviews by Vegans, I’m like ah crap, this is going to be shite.

I never have used any, so I don’t know what the drugs would help with. I see it as just biding time and not reducing suffering long term. A person involved with homeless here in BC said drug use just prolongs the inevitable path to suicide. Oof.

Heh. Only reason I knew this they were my sister’s frequent buy in the 80s

They sold sour Jawbreakers from WilliWonka brand, Dino Eggs Sours. Notice bottom right Jawbreaker written on it. These are what I was thinking of. https://www.candywrappermuseum.com/dinasoureggs.html

Jaw breakers and sour tarts were big in the 80s when I grew up

Lots of sour candies from early 1900s till the year you mentioned. Lifesavers had sour since the 20s. Jawbreakers and toxic waste brand since the 70s. Lick-a-Stick, Sherbert Sour Powder, etc

So they can blow it on functions they cancel :)

Ensure you aren’t a bot I guess, and if somebody programs the paste text they can switch the text to copy from?

Then they went back to Linux a few years pater

No, but it will mean apps get written for Linux, due to market share

They then switched back to Linux

Does it? I’m on NixOS and OpenSUSE, both have been good. OpenSUSE using nVidia own maintained repo seems this avoid graphical glitches
