Also interested in joining a laid back realm. I too yearn for the mines. Love to fish, and will probably spend most of my time by the water seeing what I can catch, but I don't mind getting my hands dirty and getting down to bedrock.

All three Audioslave albums. I just love the fact that they gave Chris Cornell space and didn't all try and overshadow his vocals.

Gotcha. Well, I guess being an old guy and having never correlated someone's computer background to any kind of meaning other than they like that particular background, I guess I don't see anything into it. But hey, I work with a bunch of terminals all day long so there's not an opportunity to customize things there, and the one work machine that has a gui, I have just left the background as the default. That is a rule of mine, nothing personal on the work laptop.

younger me would’ve freaked out by the idea of having proprietary files

That's good for starters. What do you mean by "younger me would’ve freaked out by the idea of having proprietary files"? Exactly what proprietary files are you talking about? Background pics are usually jpeg, or png, and those are not proprietary to linux, so I think that's part of what has everyone confused about this. Are you also insinuating that people can only use certain backgrounds based on either belief or their own actual background? I am curious to hear your explanation if you aren't a llm. And by the way, saying you don't use chatgpt is exactly what I would expect chatgpt to reply with. LOL. I keed I keed.

When you say 'younger me' do you mean like four year old you, because eight year old current you doesn't make sense? I have no idea what the whole point of this post is, other than it must be some chatgpt output someone thought would be funny to throw out.

If you hadn't told me, I would have put my money on that being a Lamborghini.

Wow. Sorry that happened. As a long time linux user I am really unhappy with the way Ubuntu has gone recently. Enough so that when I was dropping in my new video card I didn't even consider using that distro anymore. The whole snap thing just rubbed me wrong, and on top of that I was getting a message that if I didn't join their subscription thing, that I wouldn't get all of the updates available. Now there were explanations that that wasn't the actual case, but their wording just really rubbed me wrong, even if it was a 'free' subscription for up to five machines, etc. Back to your situation, I think it might be time to explore some other distros as they might be a better fit for you, and more of a plug and play experience for you. My suggestion would be to install a VM like Virtualbox and then download some .iso files and use them on some new virtual machines that you can run and get a basic idea of how they work/look/feel. After you find one that fits your needs you can migrate. Just remember, when people start giving you grief, just give them the old grep -v... That will make them go away.

I am confused, because you ask for it to be more plug and play, complain about using the terminal to install, and then say you gave up and installed it the plug and play way by using the Ubuntu store. It reads like you are complaining that you have to drive to another city and you aren't getting there in time because you are pushing the car. So you eventually get in and drive the car and insist that pushing it was "the right way"...

Your entire explanation, while amazing, makes me sad at the exact same time.

 

This is a crazy good deal, and according to people on their discord, you can transfer the standard license to someone if you already have a licensed copy. You will also get the pdf copies from Paizo on their website.

 

The Round Rock Library is pretty amazing, and any Texas resident can get a card free and immediately check out books and media. There's no charge to get a card either, you just have to show up in person, which you were going to do anyway if you planned on checking out books.

A major highlight in my opinion is returning the books/movies and watching them run up the conveyor belt and get sorted... Guess I am just a big kid.

 

So I grepped out all of the nodes from the log files. Here's every node that participated. Just thought it makes a cool list.

Dear Austin,

The Circuit of the Americas has now been open for 10 years. I distinctly recall a number of politicians yakking on and on about how they were going to upgrade the infrastructure around the track when they were begging for money to get the facility built. Well, it's been 10 years and the people living there are still dealing with the same shitty ass roads that were there before, and the same shitty ass traffic. Only I am guessing now, that when an event is in town, they have to hunker down like it's a winter storm. What happened? Is it too much for the place to do what they said they would do, and get some better roads going in and out. And before it gets said, I mean roads that us plebs have to take, not the toll road. It's complete bullshit that it has been a decade and I am still having to deal with the same horrific traffic situation to get to the track. I truly feel sorry for people who have to live near there. Damnit Austin, we can really do better. But I guess the people who can get shit done are just helicoptered in so they don't have a clue, and they are just too busy counting money.
