I tried this with my son, who is now 17 and not nearly as computer literate as I was by his age, let alone Linux literate at all. I think it’s a generational thing, as a kid growing up in the 90s I HAD to learn how to administer our PC at a higher level to do the things I wanted to do. Now with easy apps and tablets and auto-installation of all-the-things you just don’t need to be an advanced user to do what you want to do. This is just my experience, YEMV
Kerbal Space Program 1. I bought it in early beta for like $14, have received all subsequent updates for free because I bought it so early, sunk literally thousands of hours of enjoyment into it and come out with a solid basic understanding of orbital mechanics.
I cant think of a better return on investment I’ve ever made.
Are you sure you want a partner who can read your every thought? Also, Guinans got wisdom to doll out for the rest of your life, which will be far shorter than hers, barring unforseen circumstances.
Aw man I gotta turn in my Star Trek fan card, I forgot she was half betazoid. I haven’t been able to watch TNG since they moved it from Netflix to Paramount+.
I’ve tried to quit cigarettes more times than I can count, and replacing it with vaping has been the only thing that’s worked for me. Haven’t had a puff of a cigarette since June of 2020. Is it good for you? Hell no, and I’m still working on cutting vape too. But, it’s got to be better. I don’t wake up coughing every morning anymore, and I can exercise more without wheezing.
I didnt know about Explainshell before this post and it looks like an excellent site to share with some of the greener Linux sysadmins on my team at work. I’ve just set a reminder to share it Monday morning
Say a simple (hours enjoyed playing)/(price of game) equation. How many hours (you enjoyed) per $ do you think is reasonable/expected? Or is there other criteria for you?...
I bought Kerbal Space Program 1 for $14 when it was in version 0.16 I think, before it was in early access on Steam. I’ve received all updates and DLC for free since then because I got in before a certain date, logged definitely thousands possibly near 10k hours in it, and it is by far the biggest bang for my buck I’ve ever gotten from a video game ever. Thank you HarvesteR and original dev team!
There was a VHS passed around my high school, cleverly disguised with both the sleeve and sticker for the comedy classic “Airplane!” but was in fact Jenny McCarthys Playboy video. There’s enough in that previous sentence to sufficiently approximate my age haha
I’m in the middle of sending out applications and considering all the things I should refresh on. Does anyone have some good resources or practices they run through to get refreshed or otherwise prepared for technical and skill/personal interviews?...
I can’t believe the post didn’t include a picture of the stick. I think I speak for every guy in this thread, I want to see the stick so I can judge how good of a stick it was for myself.
We decided to test whether the car can handle long ranges by going to Austria next week. It’s a large country with numerous places, so I want to ask your help. Have you ever been to there?...
Highly recommend the ice caves at Eisriesenwelt! We visited Salzburg many years ago and made a day trip out to this cavern system and it was an awesome experience. Also highly recommended stopping and having a pint and lunch at the restaurant between the skylift and the rest of the walk up the mountain. Breathtaking view for a meal.
I accidentally activated this in the grocery store like 2 weeks ago and had no idea how I'd done it until just now seeing this thread. My phone started beeping loudly and counting down on the screen and it freaked me the hell out because I had no idea what was going on. People were looking at me like I was about to detonate a bomb or something! As soon as it finished and starred to dial 911 automatically I hung it up before a ring, but goddamn it was concerning to me and those around me. What the hell, Android?
