Delaying also means that you are burning cash with zero income. You can only borrow money on worse and worse terms, and if there is an actual prime rate hike whoa boy are you pooched.

Mythbusters is a great thing that we would all love to experience again in another medium, but that just wasn't going to happen. It's hard to even point to an existing good game that has the mechanics that you'd want from a Mythbusters. They could have gone Factorio, or an Infinifactory, but a goal of "maximize this" or "build this intended output" still doesn't capture the scientific intent of extracting some tiny nugget of truth from a cold unfeeling universe. Straitjacketing the whole process into something scripted, or throwing a sandbox at the player and walking away, are about the only two approaches that a game could do.

It may hurt right now, but trust me, there are plenty of fish in the sea.

It goes in the fourth column of the fstab, so like

/dev/disk/by-label/Butts /mnt/pants buttfs defaults,nofail,subvol=@ss 0 0

(love too eat spaces and any other attempt at formatting text)

Adding a "nofail" flag to the fstab is an option, too.

It has pre and post-install scripts. Once you hand it off to dpkg, it can do pretty much anything.

How about just signing in on Thunderbird? Frankly, what other programs do you really want to be signed in to your Google account?

If a website stuffed a .deb into your Downloads folder and you click on it, should the default behaviour be to run it? Is there a significant pile of Ubuntu software out there that is unavailable in the apt and snap and flatpak stores? Other stores such as Steam and Epic (Heroic) are easily installable via … starting in your apt/snap/flatpak store.

Why does someone who is less fortunate than me not want his nose rubbed in it? That's so rude!

The secret to finding love is to just be yourself. A hotter, richer, younger version of yourself.

Anything interesting happening in the kernel logs? Sudo dmesg.

S-tui would give you some idea if there's a thermal issue.

It is very, very odd that you have the same thing going on in your laptop and desktop. Has the thermal conductance of air (or some other related physical property) changed locally? Have you replaced the thermal paste on both devices with asbestos exhaust pipe putty? I keed, I keed.
