Even the name feels dystopian

As others have mentioned, this is super old. Also, catalyst is not nearly as reckless and dangerous as it should be. It was more like letting a drunk child drive a school bus.

Correction: much more useful info full stop. Windows be like "an error happened, good luck shithead". Linux be like: "error 37: here's the full stack trace, we put it in a file so you can read in and copy/paste if need be, check the man page for details on how to solve"

Funny, that's how ling I've been using Linux too. It turned into a very lucrative career too, so there's that I guess.

My main desktop at work was used back in 2012 when I first had it assigned to me (officially we get laptops, desktops are by special request). It's still kicking to this day and still my preferred system for work. All I've upgraded was adding an SSD and some RAM. Asset management has lost track of it by now, lol. It might just end up at my house. Honestly, this is one of the most compelling reasons to use Linux.

Whoopsie daisy, my thumb slipped. So clumsy.

I leave them up, but edit to say what I think about it now. I value transparency and the willingness to change your mind when presented with new facts or apologize for being wrong, and I want to set an example for others to see. I've been an ass and said things I regret later, and I'll do it again I'm sure.

Oof, sorry about your face!

Thanks, I'm working on it. PT starts next week, which I'm really looking forward to. Actively participating in recovery will be good for my mental health.

Is this a personal experience thing? Did you just find out about the third brake?

With some hubs, you can put different grease in your hubs to quiet them down if you want.

I used to think that omniscient and omnipotent god would directly conflict with the idea of free will, which is pretty important for this whole salvation thing. The alternative being that god created you so you would go to hell/heaven and there is nothing you can do to change it, right?

But as I've thought about it, I can't really get around the idea that an omniscient and omnipotent being could choose to not know something. It seems like there would be no direct conflict with omniscience as long as the things you don't know, you could know at any moment, should you decide to.

It's all academic really since this is one of the least ridiculous things about religion and the idea of supernatural beings having control over our lives. But it doesn't feel as ironclad a contradiction as I once thought. I'm curious if others in this community can weigh in with a rebuttal.
