Windows 10 EoL is fast approaching, so I thought I’d give Linux a try on some equipment that won’t be able to upgrade to Windows 11. I wanted to see if I will be able to recommend an option to anyone that asks me what they should do with their old PC....
I know jack and shit about Linux, but my laptop running Mint has happily taken every computer job, except for recording music, from my win10 desktop. I have opened the terminal exactly 0 times. There’s a flatpack for everything I have desired so far. oS geekness is not needed to run Linux. As I get used to the available music software I will have no further need of ms windows.
I’m referring to the advertising/digital display. I thought of using man_made=advertising + advertising=* but not of the examples on the wiki seemed to match very well....
This comes after Trump promised the oil executives he’d end all decarbonization efforts in exchange for a billion dollars, and made it possible for Trump to start outraising Biden for the first time...
So as someone who tried Ubuntu first because it seemed like the easiest place to start, don’t. First off, I never could get Ardour to run right on it. Try Linux Mint. I switched this weekend and everything seems to work better and there appears to be a lot more available software when you aren’t stuck with Snaps.
Pickup trucks don’t need to die. They just need to return to being the utility vehicles they used to be with a full bed and not an entire SUV worth of cab. An F-150 now is larger than a 350 was in the 90s, but has less bed than a 77 Subaru Brat. My Mazda B2200 was a great little truck that could hold a stack of plywood and some 2x4s for a weekend project and handled and had visibility like a Civic. Bring that back.
There is one justification for trucks that big. One. Towing. You have to have size and weight to control a load on a trailer with size and weight. But anything that has to be that big should also be mandated to be a cab-over style, so the driver can see in front and also be the one in greatest danger in case of a collision. Take the fucking oversized Tonka trucks away from the overgrown children who drive them. Monstrosities like the Suburban and Expedition should not exist either.
It’s a shame that Rivian had to go and try to appeal to the truck nuts crowd. Something the size of a Mighty Max could easily still weigh 2 tons with enough batteries and a motor per wheel. Give THAT the suspension and brakes to handle it and you’d really have something. Hell, give it a small ICE to run a generator and you would have a fantastic hybrid truck. But in America, at least, bigger is better. It’s sad really. We could have awesome things.
In 1994, the abridged audio versions of the first three books were published in cassette form. The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty was read by actress Amy Brenneman. Beauty’s Punishment was read by Elizabeth Montgomery (known for her role in the ABC situation comedy Bewitched) as Beauty with Michael Diamond as Tristan, and...
As an example. I grew up in hip-hop but at a certain point I stopped listening to new people and realised recently that I’d slept on some bangers. Like Kendrick particularly, but even people like Juice WRLD and Xxxtentacion....
What if the great filter of humanity is to overcome it's own nature that made it the dominant species of the planet and what if that is the universal great filter that makes the cosmos silent
