These some high quality memes you've got here tonight, sir. You got a license to distribute these white hot bangers?

Nope, she ended up peeing on her own leg to relieve the stinging then we walked to a restroom where she could wipe it off with soap.

I live with constant regret that I didn't pee on my wife's friend's leg when she was stung by a jellyfish and was begging me to pee on her while at the beach. I knew it was better to wash the sting with vinegar or something... But it was a carte blanche to do it.

Gonna be honest, I did not understand what this title was claiming until I read the article. Holy shit, some people ... Wow!

What if the browser doesn't work? It will work.

I hear ya. I wanted the simplest, borderline unbreakable, PC for my wife. She is non-technical and I want it to feel like it "just works" so she doesn't accidentally brick it. I use arch on my main PC and agree that control over everything without jumping through too many hoops is nice. I wouldn't choose silver blue for me, but... I just want stability/to not have to manage it closely for her.

Setting up my wife's first mini-desktop PC with Fedora Silver Blue this weekend! There are some perks to being the family sysadmin (i.e., since nobody else wants to deal with the system they get a relatively stable Linux flavor on any new machine)

Her old laptop is shitting itself and on Windows 10. Hoping for a clean cut over.

It's about access. You can still have stores around and still be in a food desert. I did research on this while in grad school. You're discounting indigent populations ability to navigate to stores with fresh food. Imagine you're a single mom with 2 kids. How easy is it for you to get to the Walmart that is 4 miles away by bus?

Do you expect people to have availability to go to the farmers market on Saturday morning? They would have to make a coordinated effort to travel with a kid, or find coverage so they could go to the farmers market. Do you think all small towns have easily accessible farmers markets that are priced in a way that the less fortunate can afford the produce?

Beyond that, folks tend to gravitate towards easily accessible or ready made food (e.g., microwaveable). You're also assuming that everyone has familiarity with those ingredients and has bandwidth/willing to learn to cook. While most people do learn at some point, it can still be a barrier.

When you say "why would someone want to live in the middle of nowhere," some people don't have a choice and have geographic/work/family/community ties in small towns that lack resources.

Your response is flippant and disregards the reality of the situation.
