Doesn't VirtualBox use KVM if it's available?

I likeVBoxManage. Any crazy thing I've ever imagined doing with a VM it's already supported.

So, to answer your question - I use VirtualBox because it does everything I want and I've never had a reason to look elsewhere.

"Chaser" because we live out in the country and use it to pick up our dogs who sometimes wander off and we have to go retrieve. Also, because it's a Chevy. It's Chevy Chase_r_.

Some of the videos of this are really frustrating to watch. Like, what are you trying to do!? You just found your spot, now you're coming back out?? More circling, stopping, going back, going forward. Uughghhh..

Wow, thanks for this. Those are two very similar flags and I missed this entirely.

Everyone - Now that you know my passphrase, be sure to keep it a secret!

VisiData may do what you want.

Are you happy with the Kiyo X?

I ordered mine from http://clove.co.uk/ and they happily shipped to Canada. It has worked fine in Canada, the US, and Barbados (eSIM and physical SIM).

I like the phone a lot, but whenever it's talked about I'm surprised how many people feel the urge to chime in on why it wouldn't work for them.

I'd say my biggest gripe is lack of accessories. I paid the huge price for the official screen protector twice. They both cracked relatively quickly and there are pretty much no other options. I'm using a flexible matte-finish screen protector from Amazon now, but it scratches really easily and will slide around on the screen if I keep my phone in my back pocket.

When you put about:support into the Firefox URL bar, do you see evidence that your GPU is being used? I'm not sure which settings, exactly, would indicate that, but mine, under "GPU #1" has "Active: Yes."

Lots of GPU-related options are also disabled, but I still get a smooth Google Earth experience.

As someone who lives rurally, I just want to make sure everyone is aware of how important mail service is. FedEx, UPS, DHL won't deliver to us - not even to our nearest town. If we absolutely need something and they won't ship Canada Post, we have it sent to a friend's house a 1.5 hour drive away.

Do this! Years ago a very nice post lady asked me if I wanted to get flyers in my mail. I said "hell no." And, now I don't! Now I just get junk mail from companies that send their junk as actual mail. So, 100% my credit card company.

I can assure you there are many women out there who aren't picking men just so they can brag about their interests. If your concern is trying to find a partner, making negative, sweeping generalizations about women isn't going to work in your favour.

I mean "interesting," as in, have some depth, be passionate about things. I don't think it matters if it's sky diving or stamp collecting, just don't make "getting girls" your thing. There are people, and for a time I was among them, who just do things because they think that's what's going to woo the ladies. But, how interesting is that?

I'll grant you that some interests may be more conducive to meeting potential partners, but surely there's something you care about that has some aspect that can get you out of the house. I like computers and I also don't care to leave the house. It turns out, I love computers enough that I will tolerate going to conferences and meetups. 🤷‍♂️

Do you like dogs (Or cats, I guess)? The animal rescue I volunteer with skews heavily towards women. Help some animals, make some friends.

Of course, don't just do it to meet women. If current me had some relationship advice for younger me, it would be to be patient and just make sure you're out there doing things you actually like doing. And be interesting, which, comes from getting out into the world and doing things you like.
