While I don’t disagree with you, I think it’s a bit funny that you’re bringing up hardships using apt to update software in Debian when the biggest complaint about Ubuntu is having to use snap instead of apt.

Ubuntu is not terrible and if it works for you then fine. I would be surprised if Debian or Mint didn’t also work for you just as well though.

I had the same experience on my one gui Ubuntu machine. I also have several headless machines, and due to some shared libraries I always ended up with snapd installed even though none of the packages I was running were installed through snap. I always found it through the mount point pollution that snapd does.

Flying camera is the best camera I’ve bought in years. You definitely can drop it though, and you can also crash it.

OP, if you do get a drone, get a <250g drone, because they tend to be classified as separate from heavier drones and have fewer legal restrictions.

I was going to disagree with you about fleshlights, but then I realized that’s how fucking asinine this whole menstrual monitoring bullshit is and it was a good analogy.

“I never thought the leopards would eat my face!”

Whoever made this needs to redirect their efforts to the energy sector.

Israel is The Combine from Half-life 2, and Gaza is City 17, gradually being destroyed and taken over.

I seriously don’t understand how anybody is OK with this whole “Israeli settlement” bullshit.

What a fucking tragedy. A complete lack of justice.

I am reminded of TST tenet 2: The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.

Tail up!

That’s the way I shoot

Stank funk from my ass

Two morally confused egotistical millionaires (billionaires?) scheming together in a jail cell? This can not be good.

Why on earth would they need to excavate a balloon?

“Short enough to finish in a day” seems pretty tough for me, but maybe I read slowly.

Short story books are good for casual reading in short sessions. Robot Dreams by Asimov, or Welcome to the Monkey House by Vonnegut. I used to carry each of those around and read a short story while waiting at a restaurant or at the DMV or whatever.

I really liked Altered Carbon. Approachable sci fi with drugs, violence, sex, politics, and of course high tech ideas like flying cars, AI hotels, digital consciousness.

Asimov is so, so good. I first got into him by reading his collection of short stories Robot Dreams. It’s really approachable, and because it’s all short stories there’s no long term commitment or sense of letdown if you decide to stop reading halfway through the book.

Sally was particularly interesting (though not the best story in the book). I was working at a self driving car startup when I read it, and it was amazing that in 1954 Asimov predicted robotaxis that we were trying to build.

This is something I’ve played a little bit with in Forza Horizon, and after reading these comments, I think it would be cool if they added emissions as a metric in their engine simulations. Of course I’m sure that would also lead to folks rolling coal in-game.

Yeah, tell us about foraging for tiny mushrooms.

You can if you want to increase the average…
