Woohoo! It looks great.

Beautiful work. Is this the pattern by Lord Libidan?

I’ve been struggling to get Linux installed again. I had to reinstall Windows to even use the thing. I’m at a loss and really don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I’m deep in that Dunning-Kruger valley where I know enough to really mess things up and not how to fix them.

I have an Asus ROG gaming laptop from 2023. I had Ubuntu installed no problem, but when. I wiped my Windows drive, it wouldn’t boot anymore. Pretty sure I wiped the bootloader too, I’m not sure. I can install Bazzite or Ubuntu on my Asus ROG Ally no problem, but had an issue later on and reverted that back to Windows too.

I also run local servers for Phantasy Star Online and Minecraft, and the best way to run those has been through Windows. I never use that computer except for running the two servers, so I don’t really care what operating system is on it, but if I could install my servers, that would be ideal.

This looks like Neo’s cubicle in the Matrix.

I’m 38 years old and still play with Beyblades. Do what you love as long as it doesn’t hurt others or yourself.

An older Pixel phone in the wild. I miss the back fingerprint scanner on my Pixel 2 XL.

And your hair is super cute, great job! I like henna dye, it looks so natural.

In a fiction movie or book, when a character says, “you can’t make this stuff up.”

Breaks the immersion for me immediately.

A sugar cube is abrasive enough without being too abrasive. Might help.

Every complaint is projection. They’re terrified of being called out on their bullshit, but simultaneously forgetful of the evil things they said during any democratic president’s term.

Hey, kiddo. I’m really proud of you. Not only are you talented, you work hard too. I can see that, and it makes me so happy that you’re doing your best, even when you don’t feel your best. One step at a time, ok? How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time and don’t choke.

Also, booty cheeks.

Thanks, Mitch

This makes me think of the game Control

I must wear two shirts always. I guess I used to put on too much antiperspirant because my shirts used to get crusty pits, so I started wearing a white undershirt under my tee shirts. I can’t wear one shirt. The only exception is when I’m sleeping, and it’s always in a white undershirt. It could be a billion degrees with 100% humidity and I’ll still be wearing two shirts.

ELI5: How can they vote on shit when the government is shut down? Help me out here.

Play Beyblade. I’m in my late 30s.

Look at John Fetterman. He had a stroke, now he’s conservative, callous, etc. so, I’d bet it’s both nature and nurture, but the uneducated and religious are more likely to be conservative than liberal.

I’m in a rural place and I just have DSL for my house and LTE for my phone. Lived here 20 years and that’s the worst thing about it.
