I mean the other 2 countries, Canada and Mexico, how similar are both of them to United States?? Both countries have a similar economy and democracy etc, and I think those two countries share things like supermarkets, stores, etc. I suppose the cultural differences are not a lot, that is very nice.
This guy is visiting many places all over the US, month after month, spending his time (often for days) talking to the natives and really digs into that diversity.
I’m looking for suggestions that zombie-me could follow through with. The problem is I can barely bring myself to get out of bed, let alone do a useful task. It just wastes typically 2–5 hours of my life as I wait for tiredness to finally (re)take hold.
Seldom more than 5 or 6 before using Firefox to ‘close tabs to right’. It keeps a short history of recently visited URLs in the toolbar, and a deeper, searchable ‘library’ of visited sites going way back. Longer term interests I save to Bookmarks.
Unlike the guy the history books call ‘Alexander the Great’. A drunken mass-murdering King who never stopped sharing his misery until the day he died. Some hero!
Oh yeah, absolutely. (I knew I was making the words ‘good advice’ carry a lot of weight there, but it’s late here.)
For example, Bill’s got a health problem, but persists in consuming something that’s bad for that. Jill quietly/quickly reminds him of that now and then.
Would love to know what you guys think and your reasoning for it. I’m starting to see a lot of Apple Watches/Fitbits/Galaxy Watches in my area compared to more traditional timepieces.
I have come across a lot’s of people like these. like 99% of them. Sometimes it makes me think twice if what i am saying is wrong? What’s wrong with them. Is it so hard to swallow your pride and acknowledge that the other person is speaking facts? When they come to know they are wrong they proceed to insult/make fun of...
When I was 18, I started hangin out with a different crowd. ADULTS (of any age). If I was wrong, they’d explain why nicely. And vice versa. Learned a lot.
Have had mine on the right for years, with the top used for App tabs. I keep a few folders on the left. Taskbar includes a ‘minimize all windows’ option. (XFCE)
Heya folks, some people online told me I was doing partitions wrong, but I’ve been doing it this way for years. Since I’ve been doing it for years, I could be doing it in an outdated way, so I thought I should ask....
Each day I look at websites that show me multiple headlines that they have gathered from many sites. I’ve picked them out over a few years, no visual ads on any of them. I
'm scanning only titles/headlines (skipping the obvious product pushes). If a site has a few interesting ones, great … else move on. On ‘nothing days’, I’m done soon!
I got a mobile phone because somebody gave me one. I can understand the price I paid for it after discovering all of the annoyances. OH the LUXURY!
WHY anyone puts up with the terrible hardware compromises, the terribly designed UIs, the shit software, the crappy audio, the constant charging, the security threats, the unregulated demands on our time, etc. etc. is beyond me.
I use one roughly once a week, ONLY because I found a really cheap plan. But then, I never needed to talk to someone while I was walking down the street - and if I just had to (never), there were public phones everywhere. A dime for unlimited local calls. No fear of dropping a phone booth. Or accidentally leaving the phone booth at the bar. And they had doors - so you could hear yourself think. Or change into your costume.
I suppose that back when beaverskin hats and buckboards were trendy, everyone just knew they had to have one. But oh, the price we’re paying.
I know a place I could last for months, depending on what time of year the power’s lost, but it’s a long ways from here. And then, only if bullets for hunting were still available (they’ll get scarce fast, faster than toilet paper when COVID came around). Once the bullets are gone, I’ve either learned to trap or become a vegetarian.
Good point. Having a *really * good stash isn’t a bad idea. BUT then there’s the rubber hoses. To avoid the looters, then, means moving away from them … and not leaving tracks to the stash.
I know a couple of things about making log cabins. For someone who’s got food and my back.
how similar are other North American countries to USA??

So Kissinger must have had use to someone? What did he do right and for who?
It stands to reason he must have been doing something right to have stayed so close to the halls of power....

What are some green flags in a partner in your opinion?
I’ll start: if they have hobbies it’s a green flag for sure, doubly so if their hobbies are outlets for creativity.
Do you prefer to wear a smartwatch or a regular watch?
Would love to know what you guys think and your reasoning for it. I’m starting to see a lot of Apple Watches/Fitbits/Galaxy Watches in my area compared to more traditional timepieces.

One single partition for Linux versus using a partition table?
