I really like Debian. There’s a version of Linux Mint called Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) that I recommend for people new to Linux. My wife has been using it for about 6 months.
The easiest way to install is by using the live image on a USB drive. I recommend installing Ventoy on the USB first if you like the idea of having a dedicated USB for boot images. Totally not necessary, but can be useful.
If you want your climate control to be automated, you need to automate it.
I used to be a building automation technician for commercial buildings. Simple temperature control is standard for them and easily achievable on your own with consumer hardware, but you need to know what you want your system to do and then do your research on the hardware and software necessary to achieve it.
You may be interested in something like HomeAssistant, where you set it up on your own, or you might want an installation company to come in and set up something like Control4 for you.
You could also go super simple and run a wire from the unit to a thermostat or temperature relay. Then you just set up the temperatures you want it to turn on and off at.
I’m on my second install now. I fucked up the first one pretty handily by accidentally wiping the boot partition in gparted. (Like a complete idiot, because the partitions are labeled.)
The solution really depends on the problem. We don’t know why they told you to seek therapy.
This sucks ass. I’m a lifetime Plex Pass holder, so this doesn’t affect me yet, but who’s to say they won’t fuck over lifetime users sooner rather than later?
Honestly, this made me consider setting up Jellyfin. What the fuck?
There’s no way I can position myself as a knowledgable person or gather useful resources when I only used the subreddit for beginner recommendations.
I wouldn’t even be suitable as a mod for such a community because I don’t have the education or experience necessary to determine when a poster is making a dangerous recommendation (such as recommending a certain amount of retinol or using certain chemicals in a DIY mixture, especially as it relates to a daily routine).
When it comes to topics that have the potential for injury, it’s important that these communities are moderated by people who know what safety looks like. Same reason that a mod of an electrical community should understand basic electrical safety.
“Women’s Stuff” is such a fucking brain-dead name for content about skincare and hair. I’m a man, yet I also have skin and (some) hair.
Is there a community like /r/skincareaddiction? That place was (probs still is tbh) the bomb for affordable/effective products, honest product reviews, and evidence-based recommendations from cosmetologist members.
I’m 30. At this point, 21-year-olds are nice to look at but generally horrible to talk to. I’d not really want to date someone under 25 because they’re immature, inexperienced with life/politics, and often annoying. I’ve always preferred people who are just above my own age because I like to engage socially and intellectually with my partners.
Maybe if I had a lot of money and wanted to hire a sex worker, I’d go for someone under 25 (depends on the person), but for actual intimacy with someone I want to keep around? Someone my age, please. I feel physical repulsion at the thought of being with a teenager or someone in their early 20s.
It’s probably somewhat normal to find younger people physically attractive, but what does that mean to you? Are you going to be marrying someone who is 21 at 50? That’s not typical and won’t be easily accepted.
You don’t have to fantasize about wrinkles or whatever to be attracted to an older person. Mariska Hargitay is fucking hot, so is Gillian Anderson, Jonathan Frakes, and Karl Urban. It’s not because they’re old, it’s because they’re still good-looking despite age and maintain their bodies.
I used to use YouTube rips, but I hated that the music video version isn’t the same as the album version and I kept getting songs that were a shitty bitrate because they’re not all available in at least 320 kbps.
I can hear all sorts of noise in a lot of my old files and it made my mix CDs noticeably sound like shit. I’m happy that you guys are happy using it, but for me it’s more of a last resort.
Back in 2009, I had changed my name “too many times” on my Facebook account and had to verify my name using my ID. I (14 at the time) just sent a quick Photoshop job and they accepted it, no problem.
I can imagine the people doing the verification don’t get paid very well even today.
Try conduwuit instead of Synapse if you get stuck. For me, it was really simple to install and the dev is really nice.
I got a Matrix server set up with conduwuit but the problem is that none of my friends are on there so I don’t use it. The one friend I made the damn thing for so we could chat just started going through a bunch of personal stuff so now it won’t be used for a while. FML.
Aw, that’s not great. :( I’m sure you can still have a good time though.
There are probably some “day in the life” YouTube videos from people in the professions you’re interested in if you’re into that kind of thing.
Ah. I guess electives are just for fun then? Do they even have them? I hope they do, since my electives were some of the most fun I had at university (because I hated my major).
If it were me, I’d major in accounting or physiotherapy and, if possible, minor in a language (probably Mandarin).
I’m sure you’ll have enough electives for a language minor if you’re dedicated to it, but sometimes there are other fun courses that you want to take more, like abnormal psych or some cool topic in literature or an intro computer science course.
If you don’t like what you’re studying, don’t be afraid to change your major. It’s not the end of the world and you’ll probably be happier.
If I stick my arm out in front of me and it looks like a Nazi salute, but I tell you that I only did it because I’m autistic and don’t understand social norms even though I run a multinational corporation, meet with world leaders, and have a ton of nationalist and racist content on my social media, am I a Nazi?
To actually answer your question, it’s called plausible deniability. This exact question has actually been asked here before in recent weeks, was that also you?
US invasion of foreign countries seems imminent.
If you’re a soldier and you give a shit at all, you’ll defy the orders when they come in. Fighting and dying for this would be pathetic and you should want to be better than that.
So here is the context:
so all I know about it is that Canadian Blood Services would rather throw your blood out on the off-chance that you’re lying than actually send it for testing
Yes, this is a colloquialism that I made purposely to illustrate my larger point. Again, if you can’t understand that, there is no point in further discussion. Bye. If you reply again I will block you.
…I am aware blood is not plasma. Canadian Blood Services oversees the donation of both since they are both blood products. I am using the term colloquially to help you understand my perspective since you are not Canadian.
Since you apparently don’t understand that, bye.
Not quite verbatim, but that’s a quote from Julius Nyerere. Just for attribution’s sake if anyone is interested.
