So some stupid law isn't going to stop someone who cannot have a baby at the point they've gotten pregnant? It's almost like people don't take such a step lightly and the act in itself weighs more heavily on people than the law ever could… but admitting that would defeat the whole point of those “pro-life” hypocrites, I guess....
Kristie Pereira said she’s tried to get Beau back after learning he was never euthanized but said the rescue organization she got him from has refused to rehome the dog with her....
The shelter diagnosed the liver thing, started a GoFundMe, treated the dog and then put it up for adoption instead of telling the grieving owner one wird about any of this. Instead of doing their fundraising, getting new owners and such, the previous owner said she would have happily paid for the procedure and taken her dog back home. That's what you are missing. It's really clearly written out in that article, so...
Well, that's why raw or flash pasteurized milk is almost impossible to get into supermarkets here in Germany. The regulations are crazy, if it's possible at all.
Oy! Before you spew out shit that is frankly disgusting in the context of what happened in Uvalde, maybe think for a split-second about what you're about to say, eh?
Besides, if a whole nation continues to fail it's “tired, poor, it's huddled masses yearning to breathe free”, blaming parents for just not parenting enough is misguided at best and delusional at worst. Do you think parents just don't give a fuck when their children suffer? Do you think parents will just let their kids down and let them fall into the void that results in school shooters? No. No, they will not. But there is only so much a parent can do if the entire rest of society doesn't give the slightest of fucks. You don't have kids, have you?
Update 1: Thanks for all the responses! I’ve gotten a lot of very good comments saying I should stick with Mint, and that’s sitting comfortably in my top two picks right now. Between new distros, I’m most interested in Arch’s rolling release model, as it provides some benefits for me for reasons I didn’t really get...
Okay, there will be people disagreeing with me, but I can't let a new user be misled by us nerds talking distros all day.
So, you want to choose a distro because you expect it to do things differently than your current one? Thing is: Ultimately, they (mostly) don't differ that much, really. There are extremely few things one distro can do that you cannot do in any other distro. Yes, some files will be in different places, they might use special versions for some packages (which often can be overridden) or use older and more stable versions of stuff (Debian). Yet, in the end, they are all the same OS. They all use the same window managers, the same kernels, the same drivers (mostly), the same logic behind many things. Another distro only feels really different, when you know a lot about the ins and outs of Linux systems. If you don't, the difference will often be that you have to type either "pacman" or "apt", or either change /etc/program.conf or /etc/program.d/foo.conf.
Play with the distro you already have and like. You ain't missing anything. Just don't get the wrong idea that Distros are like windows: monolithic monsters that can't be really changed. Like mint but want Gnome as window manager? Go for it. Dislike the way the standard terminal software does colors? Get another one. Don't like how Program X does some GUI thing? There will almost always an alternative that just plugs into your system exactly as the preinstalled one did.
A distribution is basically just a pre-selection of packages that can be changed at will. Hell, you could in theory get pacman on Debian or Apt on Arch. I don't know why you'd want to, but in theory you could.
Don't waste your time reinstalling your machine. Play with the things you already have!
I mean, I wouldn't buy into a decade old ecosystem either if I hadn't already. But by that logic, there is less games on my WiFi router than on the Xbox. Same form factor after all.
Form factor is a hardware design aspect that defines and prescribes the size, shape, and other physical specifications of components, particularly in electronics.[1][2] A form factor may represent a broad class of similarly sized components, or it may prescribe a specific standard. It may also define an entire system, as in a computer form factor.
See, your "argument" so far has been "you're wrong" without ever answering anything or engaging on anything. I repeat my question: what is a "form factor" in your mind? Because yes, to me a "form factor" is exactly that: size, shape, dimensions. Wikipedia confirmed my definition. You just keep telling me how ridiculous I'm apparently being without ever telling me why...
Yes! Exactly! A comparison between two things based on form factor is not useful! My original point
But by that logic, there is less games on my WiFi router than on the Xbox. Same form factor after all.
Was that a comparison between Nintendo switch and steamdeck because "they have the same form factor" is not fitting, which I tried to illustrate with my router to Xbox comparison!
I don't think it's bosses actually. I think this is the runaway click bait machine of "business outlets" trying to recapture the unexpected success of the whole "quiet quitting" thing they celebrated themselves for reinventing. "Stille Kündigung" is the literal translation for quiet quitting in German and it has been around for years, referring to an employee who has already decided that they wanna quit and mentally cut all ties to their jobs but haven't acted on this yet. But even in Germany, the business media kept yapping about 'quiet quitting ' as if it was something new and something to be afraid of...
That's what media tried to sell as "quiet quitting" here as well. They used the English term instead of the German one to make it appear as something new, cursing "gen Z" for not wanting to do overtime and such (which in reality is not a gen Z, but a Baby boomer thing here in Germany) which came out of fucking nowhere.
On the other side, someone who's gotten into a "Stille Kündigung" mindset might not even quit. They'll just withdraw to a point where the barely meet the minimum requirements for their job, become passive and inflexible. It's usually seen as the ultimate consequence when employers disappoint someone too often and seen as something unrecoverable and to be avoided.
It's just the right mix of compliment and insult to cause the right amount of confusion: Not enough to drive you to do something about it, but enough to have it inside your head rent-free for the rest of the week.
Am I the only one who finds it super annoying, that "detection through sound waves" (Sonar) does video things while "detection through light" (lidar) does the sound things?
What the cat says: You. Stinky human. You will take me with you to your house. You will feed me and you will obey. If you are a good servant, I may be inclined to allow one touch on my belly. If you dare to linger on my belly, though, I will smite you with the wrath of itchy scratches!
What the human heras: Meeoow.
Human: Aww, Little guy, come with me!
