Idk about that. I’ve met “Native Americans” who prefer the term Indian over Native American.

I maintain that the song in question absolutely slaps - the problem is just that it is overplayed to death. Mariah is a generational talent.

For work the only thing that holds me back from using Linux is Office 365. The web apps for O365 are just not up to par for anything other than the most basic tasks.

This is the Quality Content (tm) I come for.

Which was the fashion of the time…

It helps that if you squint, Aragorn can be mistaken for Jerry when looking from the back.

I’m just a tech hobbyist and not a network engineer but my general understanding is that even if chrome is “updated” so as blockers won’t work as before, blocking at the DNS level should still work, right? Assuming that they still use separate ad servers.

Point taken lol

Linux Mint is instant Nescafe - pour in hot water and it Just Works. It doesn't necessarily taste the best but it gets the job done.

There are a few different ways to do it and they will all sound a little different. The “traditional” way is to have a wall of 8x10 cabs and just blast- very few people do this nowadays. This is expensive and the cabs and heads are heavy. But it is also very satisfying. Next, you can have a smaller amp that is mic’ed up to the PA. Whether this sounds good or not depends on the quality of your amp, the quality of the mic, and your sound engineer. Some amps have a direct out, which you can plug right into the sound board. When I last played in a band my bassist used a combination of these approaches - he used a 2x10 cab for some stage volume but also used the direct out from his amp to go into our mixer. Some bass players take this even further and use a DI (direct injection) box to plug straight into the board without an amp. I think Geddy Lee does this. Finally, you can go digital with an amp/cab simulator that also can plug straight into the sound board. Which setup you choose depends largely on both preference and budget as well as the type of venue you are playing and what kind of FOH (front of house) system they have.

Have had both frog and alligator. Honestly, both taste essentially like chicken.

To be fair, there was a LOT of yamok sauce.

When ID.4 came out in the US in 2021, VW had a decent buying experience modeled (presumably) after Tesla and Europe. You could go to a dealership to test drive, then order your desired configuration online for a guaranteed sale price. Sure there were some glitches and it took awhile for them to deliver, but fundamentally it was a great buying experience for me. We went to pick up the car, the dealer only tried minimally to upsell warranties, and we were out the door in 30 minutes. Of course, we can't have nice things so VW is back to the old "dealership fucks with you" model now.

I've been eyeing MVNO plans for awhile now. I bought a 3 month trial of Mint on a spare phone and it seems to work OK. But I've heard enough horror stories that I'm still very hesitant of porting my main number over. Downtime is unacceptable especially for key services like SMS.

Sure they can. Perchance.

Mac. Short for Catty McCatface.

For more complex documents, O365 does not work well, sadly.

agreed! If there were ever a linux distro that Just Works, it would be Linux Mint.

It took me a few seconds to parse that “old master” was that of the slave writing the letter, and not Laurence Fishburne.
