Dope! Imma give it a try. I'm trying to expand my vegetarian culinary horizons. I've also been trying to get the hang of lentils, so double dope. Ty I'm gonna do this tomorrow if I can score some nice crisp green beans to pour it over.

I accidentally put my rental car into kph, and it really threw me. I glanced down and it said I was doing 119. Panic face for a minute there.

Any tips on a good peanut satay recipe?

Do you want plague and God's wrath!? Because that's how you get plague and God's wrath.

I liked the live action remake. No idea why it got shit on so heavily

Ya, I'm a city bus driver. And I can tell you with 100% confidence a large segment of the homeless population will absolutely wreak any space they're in. Pretending they won't has ruined so many nice public areas. Your naive AF if you think you can just sweep the majority of these people into an apartment and call it good. I'm not heartless, I do want these people taken care of. It's a complicated problem with no easy answers tho.

Crack cocaine. I know I can keep it together. But people who can't handle their drugs ruin it for everyone... Smh

We need to redo the coinage. A dime ain't worth what it was. We need a 1, 2, 5, and 7$ coin

Omg I gave up shoe shopping in stores a long time ago. I wear size 15. I'd walk in and ask if they stock any shoes in that size and no one could answer. I'd waste 40 min scanning through the racks to inevitably come up empty handed.

It got so bad one summer I was straight up shoeless, had to fashion sandals out of an old tire.

Similar. Maybe a bit more than once a year, but not much. I'd say 70% of my meals are vegetarian, 5 vegan, and the rest mostly chicken. Beans are the magical fruit.

I never got the hang of lentils though, maybe I should revisit them.

Ya, my town has few good spots for cliff/bridge jumping. Every decade or so some kid dies. If it seems stupid, it probably is. Don't do it.

I was a dishy in my youth as well. The trick is to organize the pile, and spray it down to loosen the gunk.

 

Ohh ya baby!

 

I stand with the otters

 

Like they could cool their shit, and desalinate water with the waste heat. Provide water to dry areas. Like Baja or Texas. Bonus points if they could run off renewables. Seems like a win win

 

Ripped from PaulDrye@lemmings.world no idea who the original artist was. They are talented AF though!

 

10 of the last 10 years were the hottest on record. It's time. I know so many people that will give lip service to the environment and then think nothing of taking multiple flights per year on the flimsiest of pretexts.

And as all too often happens, people go to poorer countries where they get waited on hand and foot, and then act like they're doing some giant favor to the locals. All too often these tourist sights end up being an unmitigated natural disaster, not to mention locking the locals out of their own back yard.

And then they'll turn around and claim they're "helping the local economy" trying to justify it. It's colonialism by another name. If they paid fair wages to the workers these vacations would become much more expensive, perhaps prohibitively so.

And wtf is wrong with you, you can't relax in your own region? Gonna cook the planet because you can't be happy and relax in your own hemisphere. Y'all need to chill it with the air travel!

 

Thank you all who reached out, it really was awesome.

Was super easy, even my Nvidia cards driver was basically automated. Haven't played anything yet but I'm sure I'll be fine.

I opened up the command thingy a couple of times just to get some settings how I wanted them, but could have gotten by without it.

The biggest stumbling block for me personally was getting the thumb drive in order, then the hardware to boot from it. First you gotta use a thing called Rufus to format the drive correctly, not sure how or why, but you do.

And then I couldn't get my laptop to load bios no matter what key/s I mashed at restart, but searching " advanced startup options" in settings brought me to a menu to reboot from my (now correctly formatted) USB drive.

The rest drove itself. Still some stuff to figure out with it but it's doable. Very polished and user friendly.Thank you all again so much!

I just fucking can't with windows anymore. I'd preach about it but I imagine you've heard it all. I have minimal computer expertise.

I use my PC mainly for streaming, downloading torrent files who's copyright you don't need to worry about, and light gaming. Usually just messing with New Vegas mods.

If someone knows of a good YouTube channel or guide or something written for andelder millennial caveman I would be grateful.

Edit: after having been recommended mint OS and giving it a quick Google, I got this! I haven't fucked with anything linux scince the early aughts. And holy shit has that come a ways. Guess I remembered back and got a little intimidated. Mint is downloading now. As a small f.u. I booted up edge to do it. Ty you beautiful people!
