I started using Linux in a time when package management was barely usable, and I had a broken distro as a first distro. Too often I was chasing down answers all over the internet when there were few to share, and the diy aspect of arch is rather nostalgic for me.

 

For me, it's small business retail. Point-of-Sale systems, physical inventory management, the existing options are not built for smaller operations or are not good.

Well, we pronounce GA-nome, maybe be start pronouncing it with the soft g, like in gif.

 

The past couple of years, the amount of kids out on Halloween has dwindled down in my neighborhood. This year, my wife and I were at her cousin's house and we saw maybe a couple of kids walking around. My wife blames people going to Trunk or Treat things. We both work in retail, so we see more of the public, and nobody was in costume. What was everybody's experience with Halloween this year?

 

I have a few: Star Wars, Star Trek, MCU.

I have arch on a few different systems. A couple of them, I used the script as I wanted to get them up and running quickly. It was very good for that, and I still had options in the script to make many of the choices and set things up manually instead of letting the script decide.

Needs me a recipe

Something Tron fans seem to forget, and Disney forgets it every so often, the first Tron was a significant failure as well. Yeah, flashy effects and a cool concept, but it wasn't as relevant to a wider crowd yet. And Legacy wasn't exactly a success in the box office either. Many forget that Tron appeals to a smaller crowd and isn't the blockbuster franchise it should be.

High sugar makes me tired, and if I don't drink plenty of water, I wake up with a headache similar to a hangover.

 

I'm shouldn't have ice cream due to my Type 2 diabetes, but once in a while, I stop at Mc Donalds and get myself a McFlurry with M&M's. I get a bit sick later, but I find it worth it.

My cat rolls off the back of the couch quite often when he sleeps. Usually he rolls onto the seat cushions, but it's hilarious when he goes backward and falls into the stuff we have behind the couch. For reference, we use the couch to help separate the living room and the kitchen, and we keep our cans of soda against the couch. Poor cat falls into them, we laugh, and the he walks around all embarrassed and pissed. Never hurt, though.

Looks pretty good. Got the dot files?

I know you said you can't leave because of family and stuff, but you do need to be somewhere that will get you away from the abuse you are getting. Get an apartment in your town, that's a good start. And travel to the closest city to you. Central Ohio? I was in Columbus recently and was really digging it out there. Take a day trip or two every so often. Get out of that atmosphere.

I will agree there. But the mining and manufacturing potential is rather insane. We could make money back rather quickly.

I'm glad to see that we are moving forward with it, I just would rather it not be by Elon. But he has the tools to get it done.

I think a moon colony was possible at minimum the mid 90's. I only think bureaucracy got in the way along with a very stunted space shuttle.

 

I want to know what draws people to it and why keep consuming and making it? Especially since Pictures and videos aren't showing anything new except the people in it.

I had the thought that the only way to really fight against large corporations and billionaires is to compete against them. Start your own business. Amazon relies on third-party sellers more than anything in their business. So start a business and sell your items there. Don't have anything to sell? People are a creative bunch, make something. Find a local producer of something and make a partnership to sell on an independent web site.

 

I haven't played since before Wizards started pushing Commander, at that time called EDH. I felt the Standard Format was a perfect setup to keep the game fresh and innovative while still making money, and the Legacy Format was perfect for the people who had cards that are no longer in Standard. I think the Commander Format killed a perfect system, and Wizards/Hasbro are just trying everything to make money and keep the game mostly unplayable with the licensed tie-ins.

 
 

First time making a pot roast, even after the cat knocked over and shattered the wine bottle overnight. Wife reminded me that we had a bottle in the pantry.

 

I have five.
