Everything has some sort of top:

Slacktop, craptop, proxtop, oldtop, wifetop, and batocera (because I keep forgetting to ssh in and change it).

Trump’s McDonald’s bill is big, but its prices have ballooned (www.theguardian.com)

Donald Trump’s appearance in criminal court on Monday has raised many questions, constitutional and otherwise, but on the evidence of the first day I find myself most curious about the former president’s McDonald’s order. During jury selection last week, the Daily Mail reported on a $700 (£560) McDonald’s order put in...

Not Mackey D’s, but I placed an order for $100 of taco bell recently. They were still making it when I got there. It was the manager and 2 employees busting their asses to crank out the order as fast as they could while a line was forming at the counter and drive through.

The manager brought me the food and apologized for the wait. I handed him 3 x $5 bills as thanks. I genuinely appreciated the service and wanted to say thanks.

I’m 40 now and have been in recovery for over 8 years. A lot of people in my old circles never stopped partying, and many of them aren’t with us any more. I feel like I see a new tribute popping up every couple weeks on social media. More of my friends are dying than my parents’ friends.

I would love if someone excused a juror due to a lemmy post.

I had a 5600x on a b450 board with Kingston pc3600 too. I had no problems running xmp profiles and optimized defaults. If cool & quiet was enabled by default then I didn’t mess with it.

I rarely use suspend or hibernate, and I don’t encrypt my drives, so I can’t speak to those issues. But even though you say you don’t need the speed, I think you’ll be very pleased with this upgrade if you go through with it.

Yikes. I’ve been in take what I can get mode since the generic came out. Sometimes I was getting brand name, sometines generic. But I never noticed a difference. And I definitely would have!

There seems to always be shortages on Adderall or Vyvanse. The government limits how much can be produced, so the supply is not based on demand. If the major insurers stop paying for the name brand, then demand for the generic will go up even more.

You’ve described capitalism and not the corporate socialism our pharmaceutical overlords get to enjoy. In many cases, the same company produces both the name brand and generic versions of a drug.

Not sure, I’ve only ever been on Adderall and Vyvanse. And I don’t like Adderall. I was diagnosed late in life and just started this journey about 1.5 years ago.

No reason here, other than the fact that it’s not slackware.

Slackware needs to learn how to be hip like arch. I’m the baby in our irc group, and I’m 40. All the cool kids are using arch BTW.

It’s nice to find another slacker in the wild.

What the hell Michigan? I expected this from Indiana, but I thought you were better than this.

Nope, consumer. It’s a retro computing project / mid-life crisis. I’m trying to faithfully rebuild the first computer my family got when I was junior high aged. I’ve got the cyrix CPU, the EDO RAM, and the generic AT case. I just need to solve this cooling dilemma and I’ll be playing Chuck Yeager’s air combat in no time!

It’s a passion project/ mid-life crisis.
