I think, it's a combination of things.
To some degree, it may make the player choice seem broader, as you can go full hero or full villain. In some sense, you can also go into the middle by kicking a puppy at one point and then helping an elderly lady at another.
But then, it's also just hard to portray nuance. If the options are "pet kitty" and "punch kitty", you know what's what. But if it says "pet kitty" and "ignore kitty", it becomes a lot less clear. Maybe the kitty does not want to get pet by a random stranger. You probably won't be able to gauge its reaction from the character model to know what's the right choice.
But you also won't know what "pet kitty" really means. Will your character be gentle and back off, if the kitty does not appreciate the gesture? Or will they stroke that kitty until it bites them?
Yeah, they probably will leave your skin feeling uncomfortable. Many seem to consider shaving cream and whatnot a strict requirement. That's also part of the reason why I still use a trimmer for my face, too.
Run-on sentences convey rambling...
I found a razor just got clogged up too much between the blades.
You might have better luck with one of those bog-standard single-blade safety razors, i.e. one of these:
I've heard from a hairdresser that they prefer the single-blade ones, specifically because the multi-blade ones clog up so much.
I mean, currently I also use a trimmer for my face, as I cannot be asked to do a wet shave every day. But I still use the safety razor for cutting back armpits and groin for hygiene reasons, and it works quite well for that. It's a lot less scary when you don't have to cut thick beard hair.
I try to do that, but I'm often too earliy, before things are put on sale, or too late, when things have already sold out. 🫠
A colleague bought the backpack for their kid back in January (classes start in September). Totally makes sense that there's probably the best selection and prices right now, but still had me thinking, wait, you don't procrastinate that until the last month before school starts?
Well, lots of folks here, who speak English as a second language. I had my analyzing-older-texts classes in German, where these humours were not relevant to the best of my knowledge. I once heard about them in psychology class, but that's about it.
Rather than the echo, I would recommend just putting a triplet drum beat underneath, e.g. three snare hits with the first hit (and potentially third) doubled with a bass drum.
You can't really just put a dumb echo on songs, because the chords will start overlapping each other and that will likely make things sound dissonant.
Theoretically, you could just echo the notes while the note itself is still being played (i.e. cut off the echos when the note stops), but that requires actually editing the individual instrument channels, which is quite a bit of work and something you won't have access to when you just have MP3, OGG or similar.
Yeah, the delay cannot be 0.33 seconds, unless a quarter note takes a second to play out. That would be a tempo of 60, which is pretty slow music.
It may also sound rather terrible, though, if there are any eighth notes being played, since they're then in between your triplet beat.
Really, the only way for it to definitely work is to take the length of the shortest note and divide that by 3.
But that will likely sound terrible, because it will then be an extremely rapid beat. I guess, you could try to pause the triplet beat when the shortest of notes are being played to mitigate that a little bit. But you'll still have songs where this just sounds bad.
This is largely a layperson's opinion, but I don't think there would be much of a difference. The thing is that perfect vision rarely happens, not just because of bad eyes, but because sunlight might be hitting your screen or you're reading at a weird angle or contrast is bad etc..
And even if the pixels were beamed straight to your retina, your brain is still a pattern matching machine. If it's easier to discern individual letters, it becomes quicker to select each word correctly.
Having said that, if there were a font that's objectively the most readable, we probably wouldn't have a gazillion different fonts. Some folks here have said that they find this font distracting, for example. So, yeah, you kind of have to decide on your own, what works best for you.
Yeah, it's the SIL Open Font License. The text can be found behind their "End-User License Agreement" link.
With the application focused, press Alt+F3 to bring up the window menu. In there, under "More Actions", you can uncheck "No Titlebar and Frame" for temporarily changing this.
But you're probably interested in permanently changing it. For that, select "Configure Special Application Settings..." instead.
In that window, click "Add Property..." and select "No Titlebar and Frame". Then change "Yes" to "No" in the newly added line and click Apply.
This changes it for that one application. You could also tell it to render a titlebar for all windows (with potentially unforeseen consequences) by changing the "Window class" dropdown to "Unimportant" and selecting "Normal Window" in the "Window types" dropdown.
If you change it like that, you can find this rule in the System Settings under "Window Management" → "Window Rules".
Ah, right, mixed it up with BusyBox.
Yeah, not a lot of distros they could've based it on, which are less rooted in the EU. 🫠
It's been a few years since I ran Mint, but I believe, it keeps old kernel versions around for when there is a problem with a newer kernel or during the upgrade.
You should be able to select an older kernel to boot from, from the bootloader (GRUB). Apparently, you can hold Shift after powering on your PC to get to GRUB's boot menu.
Though, to be honest, I'm not entirely convinced that it was (just) the kernel that was mid-update at that point.
openSUSE is more resilient for this sort of problem. In GRUB (which gets shown by default on openSUSE), you can select a filesystem snapshot to boot from. You would select the snapshot from the start of the upgrade.
If everything works correctly, you run sudo snapper rollback to tell it to actually roll back to that (throwing away your changes from the broken update) and then you do another reboot afterwards.
More info on that here: https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/reference/html/book-reference/cha-snapper.html#sec-snapper-snapshot-boot
For learning about the filesystem layout, you can type man hier into a Linux terminal.

Aber warum ist da ein Captcha auf deinem Meme?
Damn, that hurts my brain, but I guess, I'll allow it, since I don't have a better word. I was thinking of a unisex changing room, so where everyone uses the same changing room, but I guess, it's more that there's male, female and gender-neutral separately then.
I'm actually aware of the difference, but would also argue that this difference isn't that big. If you have to bypass security mechanisms to be able to use hardware as you please, that doesn't sound to me like you actually own it.
Yeah, I was gonna say: Oh, like most laptops then? If the hard drive is not encrypted, you can just boot a different OS to access what's on the hard drive...
