Not a problem for me. All the software I need is either available as native Linux or runs ok under Wine.

I’m ready to ditch Windows entirely at this point. I just need to find the best way to do that, without having to rebuild the Linux side of my dual boot PC.

It’s a matter of propinquity.

Ya, the ending of that movie was a big disappointment to me.

If you weren’t interested in computer science, going to college for it probably would have been a mistake. It sounds like your mistake was not finding your career niche early enough.

But when could they run the commercials?

Any. Very few modern buildings can be said to have any style at all. They are just functional blocks.

Their marching was poor because there is almost no practical reason why anyone in today’s Army should ever need to march. The vast majority of service people do very little marching after basic training.

I can sew, although I kind of hate it. Sewing is an essential skill if you own a sailboat and have no money.

What everyone in the US should do RIGHT NOW is get all the currently recommended vaccines for their age group and health conditions. There is a high probability that they will either become unavailable or not covered by insurance in the near future.

No kidding, do it now, and see that your family members do the same.

I’ve been using the same coffee cup almost every day for the last 50+ years.

Yup, I’m old.

77: yes, I feel old, but only sometimes. Mostly in the early morning.

The market has given up about one year’s gain, so people who have held diversified portfolios for longer than that haven’t really "lost"anything.

Yet.

No! Rilly?

The writer of the article is treating child rearing as if it requires PhD level child psychology. It doesn’t.

A child’s behavior is almost always ok if it is safe, non-destructive, legal, and NOT OFFENSIVE TO OTHER PEOPLE IN THE SAME SPACE. It doesn’t even matter if the other people’s idea of “offensive” seems reasonable or not. If their children are bothering others, a responsible parent will either curb their behavior or take them elsewhere.

The writer apparently doesn’t understand that last part.

History classes in the US cover WW2, but barely touch on the causes of WW2.

From Maryland, steamed blue claw crabs, or crab cakes if you don’t want to pick the shells yourself. Also Chincoteague oysters. Or actually, just about any Chesapeake Bay seafood is great.

Bambi meets Godzilla is about 15 seconds long. It’s opening credits and closing credits are about 10 minutes total.

I lost contact with everyone I knew in school, but curiosity got the better of me and I tried a web search a few years ago (he had a very unusual name). Turns out he died in a fight when still pretty young. I wasn’t surprised.

According to Gallup, 44% of American households have guns. This is survey based. If fact, the actual number is unknown. A good guess is somewhere between 1/2 and 2/3.

Gun ranges where I live (California) require employees to wear an exposure monitor for a week or so each year. I talked to a range officer about it, and he said that they had never had the monitors indicate anything that is remotely a problem. Nevertheless, careful gun owners are aware of the problem and ranges that I’ve been to post notices and have hand cleaning stuff ready at hand.
