I have Mint on all my older Lenovo T and X series laptops. They run like champs except for the audio. It’s never loud enough. It’s fine though with a Bluetooth headset or external speaker. I wonder how yours are with extremal keyboard and mouse? Mine is ok but my Logitech Keys lights keep cycling through the lights

Yet another new one I’ve not heard about. I’m in the Linux gang barely as I mostly run Mint these days. So I’m Windozes adjacent but in Linux it seems…

That’s an interesting read (after Googling) , especially the studies. I would love to be one of those types that says “Fake News” to anything I don’t like, but the initial science seems to be there.

I'm currently downloading a show that is on a service to which I subscribe

I have a Galaxy Tab S7 and for a trip to Spain I downloaded some stuff to watch on the flight. When I got on the plane none of the stuff downloaded on Disney+ would play. Maybe an issue with downloading to the SD card? I don’t know, but regardless Disney offers SD card as a download destination so they should make sure it is...

Paramount+ is even worse in Canada. It was a hot mess on trying to find where show were early on. It’s not a full app like the US version. It runs as a add on tier inside the Prime app.

Then at my Firecube home page it offers to install the full Paramount, and the Paramount+ app then after the install it says the content is not available in my country. Clicking on any of the Paramount show links takes me to a app that won’t load the content due to country issues. I need to manually go into the Prime app to find the Paramount shows.

There a few other apps like this too and some I can’t even remove but it sure will notify the crap out of me about the updates for them.

Not sure if Disney+ has this issue but I sometimes leave my Netflix tablet in airplane mode when going to another country. If the show is not available in that country when connected to the internet it will not allow play back of the shows I’ve downloaded.

It’s funny no matter which side we are coming from we rarely get checked on our views in our social media curated echo chambers.

In the old days we would have been pulled more to the center due to most people in real life being a little left or right of it.

I still think many really are but that doesn’t sell ads or moves people to vote like what about them outrage or think of the children boogie men do. It’s a shame how polarized we’ve become.

I seem to get the version on how wasted they got and sick they were afterwards. It’s like they unlock new achievement badges each weekend by how much they throw up the next day.

I’m left thinking you’re getting into your late 30s or 40s now. This isn’t your teens and early 20s anymore.

I’ve enjoyed when seeing some of these hard partiers mature and nope out now after a few years. But honestly being a alcoholic seems to the baseline starting place for many when it comes to socializing.

I know I’m a drag for them when I’m at a nice hotel and I’m not joining in with a cooler bag full of beers or hard stuff to get the party started before going to dinner. The gf is younger and a little frustrated I’m just not interested in that anymore or was I ever really.

She’s coming to terms with her inability to not be sick after a night of drinking as she gets older now too. Being health conscious she’s coming to the realization that alcohol consumption is perhaps not the best thing for her long term either based on the health of her long term friends still trying to keep up with being wasted every weekend.

I would have thought they of all people would have learned about line extension and how great New Coke turned out for them

The gf’s father is like this. Every visit is a story of some famous or rich person/people he spent the day with as a buddy not an employee of, or the more common one of his outage and how he one upped someone or put a group of people in their place, at least in his story.

Then he wonders why his son doesn’t want to deal with him, while I see his adult son being a outrage clone of him in a way with stories of injustices against him. His rage is simmering as he tells the stories about every employer, coworker, supervisor, or government agency that is wrong or out to get him. Lately it’s been how the school teachers are plain wrong when it comes to how much of a pain his son is becoming and how his lectures of these elementary teachers is going.

In relation miss my late father’s stories of how much the little town I grew up had changed since my last visit which was often the same stories or my other family members do nothing stories that never change either. The energy level of that is pretty low looking back now…

I watched a instagram video recently where the guy was up at 2am and decided it was a good time make brownies. I’m like dude these days at that time it’s usually a my first restroom break as I’ve been asleep since 10pm. It’s not time to whip up gramma’s brownie recipe from scratch…

Potatoes fall into this category too of both delicious and nightshade fun. So tastes great like anti freeze but it takes a lot longer to finally get you.

Same here, but after reading those losing access to digital purchases as the rights for the properties change vendors, for those that want to truly own the thing, they can no matter where they live.

More new things but not a lot of comments. Kind of nice to get in on the ground floor for those wanting to comment though…

Is loves to laugh still a big one? 10 years back it was fairly common.

When I thought about it, no matter how good or evil one is laughing must be fun.

Laughing about a light hearted joke or a local orphanage burning down, laughing would be an extension of what brings them joy?

That’s a great point. Often straight guys have lower standards and I was looking at it from that viewpoint. Women often complain most men see all of them as a potential sexual partner and I’m not sure if they are wrong in a lot of cases.

Still I wonder really there is no one in the whole city, province, or country that is a match? The smaller pool is something I should factor in though if I’m being fair.

In addition most of my relationships have been with people not originally from the area but neither am I.

I was always envious of my gay buddies and their ability to just get it on and not deal with the traditional female vetting process even for hook ups.

There were some good parody videos on the differences between early Tinder and Grinder dates highlighting them.

Then I noticed most have the common story that there is no one decent to date locally despite all their good friends being gay.

The only good ones are out of town or far away across the country. Not sure where it is now but I’m still envious if no matter how hard they try to get pregnant, there isn’t the risk of 20 to life from being truly successful…

Locally especially among the rednecks, the answer is always those immigrants.

My first 2 thoughts are yeah right they came and stole your software engineering job, and what job? That back breaking one you weren’t going to work in the fields anyways as crops rot away? I can’t see you doing either. /s
