Oh dang, that’s $32 AUD! Bit out of my price range!

I agree that the pile-on wasn’t necessary, people tend to just give their kneejerk response and then move on. Having said that, you probably could have explained your case a bit better too in the original post.

Food is a non-toxic, organic substance that provides nutrition in the form of carbohydrates, protein, fibre, fats/oils, and/or vitamins and minerals. Sure there are some edge cases which you can argue the point in, such as a lump of rock salt maybe, but for the most part it is something which provides sustenance. Sure you could eat mud or plaster and it won’t kill you, but it won’t help keep you alive either, so its not food.

I’m with you bro, although we don’t need to mine the moon or asteroids, the tunnels can be airtight enough with reinforced concrete. They’ve already made multiple sustainable concrete formulas, and I think 150 years is plenty of time to assume these will be mass adopted. If fusion has becomea thing and we have an abundance of energy then the costs of such an enormous project will also become more feasible.

I used i3 for a couple of years, but I missed the ease of having a DE that just recognised USB sticks and external hard drives, and all the other little things that you have to set up manually

Ironically I’ve tried installing Ubuntu a couple of times in the past, but for whatever reason it didn’t work. I’m currently using Debian instead just because the install worked. No idea why, maybe my laptop is just weird.

I used Arch for years because I wanted to learn more about how linux works and it was a good way to push myself. I think it worked because I am better at problem solving now - I even read the error messages lol

Yeah I don’t see the problem here

My laptop is 6 years old and has been running arch Linux with xfce for most of that time. I got tired of maintaining it and changed to an “easy” Linux mint distro. It takes much longer to boot up now and feels generally sluggish in comparison to a minimal arch install. So from experience, in older hardware having a bloated distro can really slow down your system.

Australia

I think so, I only really looked at the cheapest one

I’ve been using the free version of protonmail for years, and I’ve thought about paying but it’s just so expensive! Even with the current deal it’s still €40 a year for the lowest tier, budget email subscription. The next step up is €104. Then after 12 months it goes back to full price.

Convincing myself to pay that for something I’ve never paid for before is a huge ladder to climb for me

What’s a bidet attachment do?

Not sure if that counts. I’m from Australia so technically all US tv series are “foreign” to me.

The premise was foreign tv series, by which I assume means from non- English speaking countries

Dark was great, it reminded me a bit of Stranger Things in the first season. By the second season you almost need to take notes to keep up with the story line though

Sahsiyet. It’s like Breaking Bad, but Turkish. Really well produced and binge worthy.

I’m doomscrolling right now

Personally I found being unemployed was way, way worse

Phones.

Banking apps, podcasts, gps navigation, chatting to friends, listening to music are all awesome.

But then getting stuck doomscrolling and constantly checking my phone trying to eke out a little more stimulation when literally anything else would be a more productive way to spend my day - that part sucks ass.

Not to mention how much more cleaning they need compared to, say, the legs and arms.
