We need to pay the programmers to put the problems in the code.

There is an emerging field of research that reframes addiction as a reasonable reaction to traumatic conditions. This doesn't explain all addiction, but it seems to explain a large amount of it. We are learning how complex a condition addiction can be and that makes it easier to feel compassion for these folks.

I lived for three months in Mazatlán. I get it.

I don’t know if anyone else has this problem but I have a really pacific issue.

The word you want here is "specific". 👍

I would like to add this: I'm pretty articulate in English, and even though I speak French quite well, I sometimes feel like a small child when I try to speak it with my francophone friends, which is why I shy away from that. I feel like I barely know how to express myself and, since I find that so easy in English, it frightens me to struggle so much with it.

I say all this to let you know that you're not alone and that practice is, indeed, a path to success. It might not be what you need, but it's worth trying.

Where can you practise speaking that you feel safe? Where you can expect not to be judged nor ridiculed?

This is why they never hold the Canadian championships anywhere near Saskatchewan.

Well.

Another reason.

A hopeful path towards peace for people who struggle with stress at their job.

Genuine answer: one mind and one heart at a time. With any luck, some of them become influential and the message spreads more rapidly.

Religious indoctrination is hard, because so many of them teach that indoctrinating others is a way to save them. Ultimately, however, the whole belief system is a house of cards. It takes surprisingly little to bring it down. Ask them how they know that what they believe merits their belief. It starts there.

Some people would rather be right than try to solve the problem.

Shouldn't that be one rank lower?

"Infamous" exaggerates, but I find this amusing: we had a delightful chant for our sports teams.

COCKSUCKER! MOTHERFUCKER! EAT A BAG OF SHIT! CENTRAL, CENTRAL, HIT! HIT! HIT!

I've tried to forget that and I can't. I wonder where they got it from.

Alternatively, use fc 371 to open the command in an editor and take your time figuring out how you might want to change it.

 

I run a lemp10. I saw a notification of a firmware update, but when I applied the update---apparently successfully---the firmware version did not change. Now I see no pending firmware update.

What happened? Is this normal? Task failed successfully?!

... men jag minns inte varifrån jag känner igen den.

 

I tried to upgrade my recovery partition today and it failed with "No such device"/OS error 19.

I found this discussion on Reddit in which @mmstick suggested restarting, but with no explanation as to why that was needed or would work. It worked for me.

https://www.reddit.com/r/pop_os/comments/xun8vu/error_updating_recovery_partition_no_such_device/

I'd like to know why it worked and why it was needed, mostly for two reasons: to generally understand the situation better and to imagine what I might have been able to do that didn't require restarting.

Thanks.
