Many of us tried. Not exactly loic-level mischief, but it was a concerted effort.

Sounds like Reddit should disable post comment/s.

You would have better luck hitting Mars with comets and meteors. The meteors to bulk up mass and (maybe) restart the core and the comets to add water.

Sorry, but the phrase "It's not gay when he sucks it out" popped into my head.

Here is some more context: https://news.wttw.com/2024/09/10/wttw-news-explains-how-does-illinois-assault-weapons-ban-work

I'm not sure how the law will determine what is like an AR 15. Is it the pistol grip, the ability to mount a sight or a flashlight on there, or just the modularity of that system? The law doesn't ban semi automatic firearms in general, which is any firearm that automatically reloads itself to fire again.

Maybe one could make a case for there being distinct hunting rifles, and I think I could appreciate the disambiguation in the law. This gets messier with semi automatic handguns. I would appreciate some direction here as I can't seem to find a handgun that isn't just a veneer away from "looking scary."

Am getting old cis man. Wish I could share the natural extra testosterone that causes testosterone-based problems. Best I can do is a high 5 for the bros. I'll bring it every time.

PS I know nothing about anyone's stash of testosterone they keep in their old prescription bottles.

My house has always lagged behind in the newest tech for one reason or another. Usually it's because I end up adopting everyone's old electronics, but sometimes it's because we have old devices for kids.

USB C is better for me because I'm no longer fumbling to connect the charger late at night. I also appreciate that the charger works for other devices, but that was common for me with micro USB. There were also devices I had that took mini USB.

Now most of the different mini USB devices are gone, but I still have devices that need micro USB. Right not, that's my third party Xbox controllers I inherited and use for PC games. Tandem's T-slim insulin pump was also behind when we got them. Charging the pumps or using the controllers now means we are scrambling for an "old charger."

It is absolutely Broadcom's fault, but it's also still the state of things.

Thanks to Ubuntu, Mint is quite well endowed with functional software. If it can receive the same level of support as Windows or MacOS, it will probably outpace them both.

I have to say that I am getting pretty good at Linux. I use it on my gaming desktop, my 8 year old Lenovo, on a specialized workstation at work, and I have two servers running it. It's approaching general utility.

That said, I am being defeated by Broadcom wireless drivers on a HP Enterprise laptop. They aren't just working, and the wireless soft switch isn't just turning on. Until we can get to the point where the average user can just try a bunch of .deb (or whatever) files until they hit the jackpot, it isn't going to be as easily adopted.

Do you feed this cat raw steak, or does he get it himself?

Thank you, I did have that wrong.

If you can afford it, a SSD will significant improve your life. Also, any more memory will help.

As others said, you can disable swap.

Are you running the xfce version of Mint? It's significantly less resources.
