The only routine sound issues I have on mint is the output settings don’t stay the same through a reboot, and there doesn’t seem to be a way to permanently disable output for monitor speakers that I don’t have (eg HDMI sound).

The day we figured out we could grab the spoon from her and break it was very liberating.

Yes the marauder in all its inceptions is a wonderful machine. I’m planning an all marauder lance for my current playthrough of BTA3062. Marauder II, Nightstar, Marauder IIC, and a MAD-5M (just for nostalgia). All with clan tech

And an AWS-8Q to mount them on. Just watch your heat.

Peter Parker doesn’t have a leg to stand on in this argument. Dude literally figured out how to synthesize spider silk in large quantities, which is one of the most sought after discoveries in materials science. Then he just uses it to swing around New York City and tie up bad guys. All his money woes would be over with just one licensing deal with Oscorp. His best friend even runs the company so he could stipulate how they use it

Amigas were great machines, even the 500. I dreamed of having a 3000 but never got there. Who can forget the Guru meditation errors…

Merv just doesn’t want to leave Charals

Pretty much the only band that I’ll switch off the satellite radio early 80s alternative station for.

Oh great, the bots are now sea lions.

Do you believe this? Texas residents asked to conserve water while AI data centers use millions of gallons

Same here, I started with Slackware 4 and have done the recompile your kernel depending on what hardware you have quite enough thank you. I’ll use whatever works with the least hassle and if that means Linux Mint on almost all my home setups, so be it.

There is likely a filter you need to turn off.

Fortunately, New York has anti-SLAPP laws. In fact, they made them stronger when it comes to matters that touch free speech on public issues, which is what reporting something the president said would fall squarely under.

I guess they just didn’t want to admit that snow defeats both lidar and vision cameras. Plus the fact that snow covers lane markers, Street signs, and car sensors. People can adjust to these conditions, especially when driving locally. No self driving system can function without input.

The US implementation of chip and PIN left off the PIN. The reason given was “no one wants to put in a PIN every time” so for the vast majority of transactions you just hold up your card to the sensor or put it in the chip reader. PIN is only required for cash withdrawals in my experience.

This is why I introduced my kids to scuba diving as soon as they could get certified. It’s an expensive hobby but you can combine it with family vacations. Most vacation places near water have dive shops and will rent you whatever equipment you need

The Cure - Lullaby

I briefly worked for a plumber during my college days to make money. He said the people who kept him in business were people who poured grease down the drain and also people who flushed tampons.

Ketchup on onion rings? Right to jail, right away.

How to recognize a true believer, from Matthew 7:16-20:

16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
