Your stupid decal finally makes sense!
  • Lol I thought this for years! I always thought it was a bold choice for a bumper sticker. I was like "Ya! You do you!" To be honest idk what they mean by salt life. Slut life I could wrap my head around. But salt? Do they harbor ambitions to become deckhands?

    This f***n cat lives a blessed life and has no business with that look on her face!

    US Postal Service electric trucks are finally here and drivers love them
  • I mean how many miles a day are most routes? Why order bigger specs if you don't need them? I can't imagine most carriers go more than 20 mi a day. I am curious though, I'm sure someone's crunched the numbers on it.

  • Everett doesn't like purse scavenging (January 14, 1909)
  • This is one of my biggest pet peeves. Whether in the bus or in line at a register. People will wait their turn patiently enough, playing on phones or staring into space.

    When and only when they reach the front of the line, have a captive audience of a dozen odd people, will the show begin. We are treated to great variety of expressions on the payee's face. The languid reach for the bag, the rooting through, the unrelated thoughts and revelations brought forth by the detritus being rifled through. All translated onto their face for our, the captive audience's pleasure. Finally, with a look of self satisfaction they will take many times over the time anyone needs.

    But the show is not over yet! Instead of clearing the area for the next person, we, the captive audience, will watch an encore of returning the payment method to the bag. Presumably to hide it under layers of trash. Perhaps this is done to deter thieves. We may never know. Mother nature guards her secrets jealously.

    Then and only then is the ritual done. The person having inconvenienced a dozen people at a go.

  • Why Is English Awash in Sailors' Jargon? | Otherwords
  • I'd love to hear a few more! I came across some Frisian media once. It wasn't mutually intelligible with English, but it seemed close. I could understand some fragments and meaning, much like the native English speaker could pick up some stuff from romance languages. It's so weird to see how languages bump up and into(out of?) each other.

  • Avowed: We Finally Played Obsidian’s First-Person RPG and It’s Fantastic
  • It has good bones. It seems a shame to have built out all the art, game engine, etc and not have made it longer. I get your point in that it was tidy, but I still can't help but feel an opportunity was lost by not fleshing it out a bit.

  • Have you heard the good news!?

    Mint is up and running!

    Thank you all who reached out, it really was awesome.

    Was super easy, even my Nvidia cards driver was basically automated. Haven't played anything yet but I'm sure I'll be fine.

    I opened up the command thingy a couple of times just to get some settings how I wanted them, but could have gotten by without it.

    The biggest stumbling block for me personally was getting the thumb drive in order, then the hardware to boot from it. First you gotta use a thing called Rufus to format the drive correctly, not sure how or why, but you do.

    And then I couldn't get my laptop to load bios no matter what key/s I mashed at restart, but searching " advanced startup options" in settings brought me to a menu to reboot from my (now correctly formatted) USB drive.

    The rest drove itself. Still some stuff to figure out with it but it's doable. Very polished and user friendly.Thank you all again so much!

    Need a good resource to learn linux

    I just fucking can't with windows anymore. I'd preach about it but I imagine you've heard it all. I have minimal computer expertise.

    I use my PC mainly for streaming, downloading torrent files who's copyright you don't need to worry about, and light gaming. Usually just messing with New Vegas mods.

    If someone knows of a good YouTube channel or guide or something written for andelder millennial caveman I would be grateful.

    Edit: after having been recommended mint OS and giving it a quick Google, I got this! I haven't fucked with anything linux scince the early aughts. And holy shit has that come a ways. Guess I remembered back and got a little intimidated. Mint is downloading now. As a small f.u. I booted up edge to do it. Ty you beautiful people!

    Sorry to flood y'all with photos of the same cat. I have time on my hands for a bit and have been posting daily. If you guys get sick of it let me know and I'll cool it.

    This is Miss Caligula, we call her calie or just kitty for the most part. I found her as a stray kitten a few years ago. She's the most social cat, will go on walks with you and involve herself with most activities. I swear sometimes she understands English.

    Great mouser, horrible birder (thank God). I know there's a lot of good reasons to keep cats indoors but she was not having it. We try to keep her collar on when she's outside. Such a good kitty

    First survey of the bird feeder/breakfast supervision. Such a helpful kitty.
