I had dabbled with Ubuntu desktop in the past, but it was the Steam Deck with KDE that really sold me on Linux for the desktop.

I do not like GNOME. KDE is great, though.

I did the rim to rim hike over 4 days, 3 nights. We hiked in from the North Rim.

I was not in nearly as good of shape as you were, but in probably the best shape of my life.

It was an amazing trip, but the hike out was no fucking joke. And you did it in half the time I did. Hard to imagine.

I distinctly remember seeing runners who would run by with no camping gear, meaning they were presumably doing the entire trail in one day. I don't understand how that's possible.

But what if the interview goes well... Then what? We can't just hire them. Then we'll be forced to maybe face... Something. Not sure exactly what...

The obvious intent of the graphic is in regards to dieting for the purpose of losing weight.

But if you eat nothing but Snickers and maintain a calory deficit you're gonna have a bad time.

But you would lose weight, because of the deficit. It's just that it would be very difficult to maintain that diet for myriad reasons.

Blazing Saddles came out in 1974 and practically killed a genre.

I grew up poor. My chore was dishes, for a family of 5. I was also diagnosed with ADHD but not properly managed. And often I was punished with "wash every dish in the house".

All that to say I spent a lot of time in the kitchen either hating washing dishes or procrastinating doing the dishes and hating my life because I couldn't go do something else.

Then in class one day our teacher asked the class what everyone's least favorite chore was, and one girl in the class said she hated unloading the dishwasher. The absolute gall.

That's interesting. I didn't know that. I tried working with Waydroid once on Bazzite on an older desktop of mine and didn't get terribly far with it.

The Deck is what have me the confidence to move to Linux on desktop. I wouldn't have switched if not for Valve.

Literally the definition of the word.

My dad got and refurbished a vintage receiver and was showing it off to me. I asked if he was listening to a CD or a record because I'd never heard clearer audio. Nope, it was an FM station.

Blew my mind.

A lot of the modern tech is really good, though.

Cars are way more reliable than they were. They get way better gas mileage. They have a shitload more power (this is actually a con due to how everyone else drives these days). They're way safer in both accidents and just general driving with traction control and lane departure warnings.

So it's a real mixed bag. But I'd rather have the cars of today.
