Because it’s what they will buy, it’s what I’ll buy. And it suits their argument. Calling people out for not reading the article when they are quoting a price from the article is silly though.

That being said, I don’t really buy the comparison between the optiflex and the pi. It’s like saying you can buy a perfectly good Geo metro as opposed to building a kit bike.

$80 for its 8GB

It seems like people really aren’t reading the article.

Just eat them.

There is no trick that will make you think an apple is actually pie or make kale taste just like potato chips.

Try new stuff. Go to the Asian grocery store and buy random fruits and veggies you haven’t seen before and try them. Worst case you hate them, but you seem to be there already, best case you love them.

I may have missed some steps but I recall reddit removing and replacing mods of many subs.

It doesn’t matter, because the damage is done. Small communities aren’t what they used to be and the big subreddits are even lower quality.

You do know that Excel is used in every job right?

I think strawberry pop tarts have less frosting than all other flavors.

It’s petty and small, but every time I have a strawberry pop tart the frosting is so thin that the holes on the top are clear through the frosting. No other flavor has this problem. I don’t think it matters, but it feels like a conspiracy.

There are several jobs that are frequently mentioned in discussions like this that are actually thanked all of them time.

Nurses, teachers, fire, EMTs and police are always mentioned. They are hard jobs and mostly under paid. However they are constantly thanked, businesses give discounts and commercials and politicians thank them endlessly.

Grocery store workers, butchers, plumbers, electricians, custodians, truck drivers and most “menial jobs” are completely thankless. Think of the last time you saw a 10% off for nurses and if you’ve ever seen 10% off for overnight stockers.

I’m not sure I understand, the whole point is to talk to people very far away.

I’m sincerely confused as to why you would want more than one keyboard. To me it sounds like owning more than one printer, but even less convenient. Can you explain it to me?

I’m confident that on my deathbed my biggest regret will be being bored while stuck in an airport for a day.

People under the age of 25 tend to be really bad at the Internet. The number of times high schoolers or college kids are mystified by how I’m able to get information quickly from search engines is beyond me.

I’m not surprised they can’t tell what’s real, they can’t search for tiny details like “transmission time to Mars” or “gravity on mercury”.

I think it’s both an issue if hardware support and being the little guy.

If Linux wants to be bigger it needs to change it’s selling point. People have been conditioned to think of free software as bloated ad-fests by their phones. My wife was asking how I liked Linux and I could only describe apps as the early Android app store where everything was free and generally great.

Calling out Windows for privacy issues doesn’t have too much sway. Mostly because the damage is done, people have posted on Facebook and agreed to every tracker, what’s one more? Calling out Windows for being slower, showing you ads all the time and taking away features might have more traction.

I just swapped to Linux, and it’s harder to use than windows, sort of.

I still can’t get one headphone jack to work on my case and my wifi printer/scanner can’t be controlled on the printer anymore. Troubleshooting has two modes, a step by step instructions set that either works or doesn’t, or highly technical stuff that is above my expertise.

Delta green is great.

I love how TTRPGs are the model for having a quality product means people will buy it. It’s not difficult to pirate everything, and many systems are just flat out free. And yet I buy most of it.

I don’t care what rights they want to curtail, if they say they’ll lower my taxes by a nickel I’ll vote for them!

Brave is chromium.

Anything that you can grind yourself buy whole.

It really doesn’t take long to grind a tsp of cumin, and the seeds stay fresh so much longer than the powder. And if the seeds start to lose their punch just toast 'em.

Get a bigger mortar then you think too. You’ll read about making pesto, or guac, or lots of Thai dishes, and wonder if it real does taste better. Sadly it does and you’ll regret your small mortar every time you make guacamole.

May I suggest a 3D printer and set of speed paints?

There is something awesome about being able to print up and paint the exact monster before the session.

It’s a whole new world of terrain and tiles you don’t bother using half the time.

Fuck Microsoft, switch to Linux

Absolutely. But I wouldn’t hold my breath on companies actually stopping use of MS.

If you think it’s crazy your school uses three year old programs wait until you find out how many businesses are running XP!
