Compare the map you posted with the population map

There is many more people in the states that would be a Union Army, the fools that would wage war on the United States would be defeated and most Americans wouldn’t even need to do anything but watch

thisbenzingring,

I’m not racist but

thisbenzingring,

Like I said, it doesn’t work that way. You are being extremely misogynistic if you have to declare that you’re not before anyone even makes a reply.

thisbenzingring,

And before people start saying I’m misogynist or something, I’m not.

I doesn’t work that way bro. You clearly know something about yourself but you’re trying to get one step ahead of it.

People that aren’t misogynistic don’t have to defend against it beforehand.

thisbenzingring,

OMG i didn’t realize Jim Varney passed away in 2000 🫤

thisbenzingring,

In case you or someone else didnt know this, never install the drivers yourself, use the version that your distro provides in its app repository

thisbenzingring,

Good ol Liam. Dude is a saint.

Pegger: By the power of Grayskull… I’m gonna…oh god… Have the POWER!

Rider: uhh… Wheely time?

thisbenzingring,

I haven’t used a compass in years except to prove I knew which direction the building was in for my boss.

Knowing when specific stars are at night and where the sun is (where shadows point) will tell you where north is. Knowing this stuff is why I can’t really get lost. One time I tried but even in dense forest, the shadows never lie

thisbenzingring,

I have been to hundreds of thrift stores across the country. Rarely are any two the same. Rarely are they the same store if you visit it months later. And some are expensive but if they are, they usually have better stuff. Visit the stores in the areas that are generally poor and you will still find lots of hidden jems at deep discounts to the retail price. So much so that it’s always worth the extended trip outside of your neighborhood.

thisbenzingring,

learn the Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and make sure your money has a most bang for the buck in regards to shelter / food / safety

The library has all your entertainment if but it does require a change of mindset

stay away from anything that only has one type of use, find things that can be used for multiple uses and try and buy it used if possible

Thrift stores sell clothing for pennies on the dollar. You can put together a professional wardrobe for less then a new pair of Levis

thisbenzingring,

You can follow the wiki guide and really have a solid systems that is just yours. That will take some time and can be a little frustrating.

Or use the installer script they have included for a year or more now and get to a working desktop in 20-30 minutes.

But if you feel the need to trim down the scripted version, you can make it just a strong as the step-by-step install in a few hours.

I have used the same step-by-step based on the wiki install since 2016, on my daily driver laptop

thisbenzingring,

I remember having a conversation with a coworker who was getting into Linux when Kali was a big deal for script kiddies. He told me he installed it and I was like “dude you want it to be a read only OS, don’t install it. Just boot to it from a CD or USB.” We went back and forth on that for weeks until I just gave up and labeled him an idiot in my mind.

thisbenzingring,

I worked at the Starbucks HQ for a bit and the running gag was that when they would tap out the used espresso, they were making Folgers

thisbenzingring,

this is so freaking good, I cannot tell you how often I am told I have all the data and I should be able to make xyz work

and I am just a recently hired systems administrator that has to deal with my bosses paper notes and the person I replaced lack of documentation

thisbenzingring,

the trick is just learning how to tell people No

its a balancing act that takes some finesse and if you are going to be a manager soon, you might look into how it is done

Im not sure if I could explain it but it usually involves listening to the request, rewording the request and repeating it back. And then explaining the situation as you see it (why you will say no) and then when they have understanding of the situation, you explain why you are saying no.

From my personal experience, this works out pretty well but there is always that one off that blows up in your face. When that happens just face it head on and as time goes on it usually gets better and requires less work when you have to say no

thisbenzingring,

You get a lot more transparency with the other init systems. Systemd is a big system that does lots of things and it’s not always possible to see everything it’s doing, because it’s doing a lot.

thisbenzingring,

Find one used and be willing to tear it down and put it back together. Print extra parts once you have the process down. Prusa has kits if you’re willing to pay for a premium. Both assembled and built it all from parts.

Good 3d printers will have good instructions for repairs. Putting it together from parts is what you should really consider doing. Because 3d printers have a lot of movement and that needs to be corrected at times. If you spend the initial time to assemble it, breaking it down to fix something isn’t something to stress about.

Either way it’s a rollercoaster of an experience. Once you feel like you’re comfortable doing the first prints, you will look deeper into the abyss…

thisbenzingring,

When I was young life was pure chaos. It was a constant battle and I often looked for things that would ground me and let my mind rest for a bit. I discovered the Peter Gabriel song Washing of the Water. I really liked how he sang it and so I memorized the words. They are good and when its a very dark time for me, the words are a great way for me to gain a little mental peace.

The whole song is beautiful. The perfect balance of wanting calm in hard times and finding peace in the nature of things piped.video/watch?v=Ic4N6rT6Qks

thisbenzingring,

Fuck you. That was meant for a Jedi master not your fucking IT systems admin
