Because it's strong and powerful but it's hard to keep from crashing?

(I've never used Arch, and really have no idea how true that is)

It's an Asus Zenbook btw if you're wondering.

Of fucking course it's an asus. There's your problem right there. They don't know what the hell they're doing, and no one should ever buy anything this company makes.

Source: I have also been burned by them, and only afterwards did I hear a lot of other people's horror stories. It's a shit company.

I've never even heard of this animal in the first place. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portuguese_man_o%27_war

Sounds to me like you're allowed to see the color of the ball before you take it out. This means it doesn't matter which door you open, a gold ball will be available to pull and you win. Checkmate.

In my family the stereotype absolutely holds true, men (e.g. me and my dad) are messier than women (my mom). We clean less often and have a higher tolerance for filth. I don't like that about myself but it takes a lot of filth to get me off of my ass and cleaning.

Pretty much lol, well put!

From my understanding, Iran doesn't have nuclear weapons yet. What they destroyed is essentially a factory that creates one of the key ingredients required for making nuclear weapons. It's not a weapon yet, and it's not explosive yet. Iran's still a ways away from making that.

I super highly recommend William Spaniel on YouTube. He hasn't covered this bombing yet (I'm sure he will ~~within a few hours~~ tomorrow), but a few days ago he did briefly go over the process of making nuclear bombs, you should check it out: https://youtu.be/XA1CQp_oJ90?t=480

Either way it's an amazing channel for understanding world affairs, I really can't recommend it enough. Go watch any of his recent videos, they're short and well worth it.

There's a line somewhere between "computers that teach you not to do that" and computers that prevent dire consequences when you make a human mistake. The "just don't do that" policy is never enough. If there are no safeguards, at one point the mistake will be made.

Double edged sword. Applications asking if you want to save your stuff aren't designed to annoy you, they're designed to save you from the headache of losing your work.

But I can see why you'd want the power button to be a "stronger signal" than clicking Shut Down in some menu.

I realize this isn't serious but holy shit Prozac might have saved my life. Well, technically Prizma which is the same stuff. I went through so many unsuccessful depression treatments, Prizma is the only one that seems to be sticking. Sometimes the old stuff is just the best.

Worth noting that all treatments were in conjunction with psychotherapy, I don't think pills alone would have helped. And I also tried going without medication at all for a while, it wasn't good either. Prizma really is the only thing that works for me.

Edit: apparently the Prizma brand might only be sold in my country, but as I said it's just a different brand of Prozac.

I also don't know the meme and that just sounds like a cute nickname
