Careful here. Absolutely start learning bash, but one of the points of Mint is that everything a normal user needs to do can be done through a settings gui. Don’t feel bad for reaching for the gui if you need to get something done and don’t have time right then and there to learn. Have fun!

If you got the new iPhone from Apple it will be unlocked, if not you need to make sure it is unlocked first.

Not sure about Canada but when we traveled from the US to Ireland we bought temporary sims there. Popped our US sims out, popped the Irish sims in and we instantly had service with the Irish carrier.

So barring any specific carrier shenanigans I would expect your existing service to “just work” in the new phone. Not being from Canada though I personally would wait for some locals to chime in.

And a properly secured network can’t be compromised by some amateur thief sitting in their car. Point was that foolproof security is a fantasy.

But if my printer ever laughs at my bad jokes I’m keeping my hammer ready, just in case.

I know some software engineers like that. Some of it is knowing that the companies that make iot devices don’t give a crap about security. Some of it is plain ol paranoia. Mechanical door locks can be picked does that mean you invest in guard dogs? Crime is a thing but so is misanthropy. I think we should take reasonable precautions but believe that there are more good ppl than bad.

Honestly the robot vacuums make this 1000% better

According to ahem Legends this was Obi-Wan. They sent Obi-Wan to a farming planet and was essentially booted out because no master would take him. From the book, Star Wars Jedi Apprentice: The Rising Force.

I’ll admit, you had me in the first half

About the nipples. You’re right in that we all get them by default. As I understand it the only reason males keep them is because evolutionarily it would take more energy to remove them than keep them. Basically we’re all slackers at the genetic level.

Trump astroturfing? I’m shocked. Shocked! Well, not that shocked.

Probably, “Good news everyone”. Although my favorite is, “To shreds you say,” need to work that in more.
