As a non-native, I was a bit too old to find the lyrics and get them. After that, it was quite weird to me, but apart from the name being a bit off, I never heard of Gorky Park before.

The difference is not huge, but that is the definition of the median.

Example: There are five kids in the class: Alicia (4’), Beth (4’), Charles (5’), Dan (7’) and Emma (3 miles). The average height of the class is 1060 feet. Are half of the kids taller/shorter than that? Nah. However, the median is Charles’ height, 5 feet. ~Half of the students are above that, and ~half of them are below. If it’s an even number of students, the median is between the two middle ones.

Also, I’m slightly worried about Emma.

(I am aware, it’s the same here - I was just making a joke by splitting up the sentence differently)

When I told my colleagues about my surprise when I found out The Scorpions were German, none, but none of them had any idea what band I was talking about.

In which god forsaken country are voting rights dependent on children’s age?

We can’t tell for sure without a banana.

Animals also feel empathy. Which means he wasn’t just a subhuman, he was subanimal.

I have played around before trying to install a few times, but I’m not sure if that exhausts the question: I brought up two terminal windows to ssh into my Raspberry Pi and to manage logs on the other, while I had a browser up to look up netcat usage examples. It didn’t freeze or crash during regular activity, if we’re looking for that.

If by live environment you mean the one running from the USB (before I start the actual install) then yes, the install itself starts from a live Mint, running from the USB already. Sorry, I’m not sure if that’s what you meant.

Yes, I have done a few things already, including memtest. I’ll copy from the forum:

The things I have tried:

• Updating my BIOS.
• The ISO I downloaded has been md5 checked, all fine. I have also tried 2 other ISO files from 2 other mirrors - same.
• Three (3) USB drives to install Mint, ranging from 8 GB to 24GB.
• Installing with or without multimedia codecs.
• Turning on secure boot before install (I was desperate, found a forum post with a similar error message, later I found out that it was for a different reason).
• Turning off secure boot before install (I found a different forum post where the exact opposite was recommended - later I found out that it was for a different reason).
• Installing in compatibility mode.
• Offering a sacrifice to Xebeth’Qlu, tormentor of souls.
• Running gparted before install, deleting the previously half-installed partition, formatting it myself to ext4, then running the installer.
• Splitting the aforementioned partition into a 16GB swap partition (I have 16GB RAM) and leaving the rest of it as ext4 (mounted at “/”).

• Running chkdsk -f on the SSD containing the MBR+Win10, then rebooting the PC twice, according to one of the error messages in my post below (then trying to install again).

That was the reason I decided to install Mint Cinnamon.

It’s been impossible to install for a week now. And I’m not even 100% IT illiterate. After ~3 days of struggling, I decided to do the walk of shame and post on the Mint forum, admitting my failure. It’s been unsolved for about a week now. >100 fails and errors, crashes, freezes.

I can’t even imagine where I would (not) be had I chosen Kali or Arch.
