This behavior by the OS was exactly what finally made me permanently switch to Linux a few years back. (I understand that’s generally not an option on a work machine.)

edit: Correct typo.

That might even be, like, 500 miles.

I was looking for the word “beehive” and found myself thorougly flummoxed. After re-reviewing I understand better. Thank you.

I’ve never heard that association before.

Thanks!

This looks like an … Interesting show.

Sadly, a cursory image search does not return a picture of a turkey next to Kraken rum and I have only the latter immediately available.

Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

When I moved to my current house, my wife and kid were at our previous house for a while. I deliberately chose this house for its isolation, so for a while the only people I really spoke to were local cashiers every few days. (Side note: my kid was three at the time and had left a toy triceratops on the back of one of the commodes the day we signed for the house. I never thought a toilet would make me miss someone so much.)

Anyway, I work remotely and had a daily virtual meeting. Most days, that meeting was the first and last time I spoke. I also had some kind of long lived sinus infection going on, so not only did I speak pretty rarely, until I opened my mouth I wasn’t even sure if I’d have a voice that day.

My dad grew up in Ohio, so when he was alive we would go there annually for a family reunion and, in the days surrounding the reunion, just kind of wander the surrounding areas.

My introduction to Magic: The Gathering was stepping into a thrift shop in Akron and discovering the entire (at the time) collection of books in a box for … I don’t remember the exact price, but an eminently affordable cost. I don’t much care for the game, but I definitely enjoyed working my way through the book series.

You must be a linguist; the only other person I’ve ever witnessed using the word “conjugate” was my mother, who taught me basically everything I know about grammar.

That seems very likely. I guess my YouTube search skills aren’t what I thought they were. Thank you.

There’s a reason for them! I can’t find the original video I saw about it, but this one explains it pretty well:

I also like how sarcastic this person sounds (at least to me) during their sponsor segment.

edit: Removed the timestamp from the YouTube link.

Thank you for putting in the work!

Debian is well known for maintaining established packages in its repos. This means that all of the software is thoroughly tested, and therefore (usually) stable; however, the software in question is generally older, so it also means that sometimes you’ll have to find your own approach if you want to run any newer services.

According to the sidebar:

Anything and everything goes

The choice is yours, of course, but as others have pointed out each episode is at least semi self contained. I’m a bit behind, but none of the others I’ve seen have been at all like that and most have been very worth watching.

Note that many people find S01E01 off-putting in a way different from the rest of the series. Up to you where you start, but if you start with the first episode I recommend watching at least two before judging.

Maybe they resemble a very unusual face to this person.
