Agreed. I was recently prepping a laptop to give to my mom, and planned to put Ubuntu on it since, y'know, it's "linux for human beings". I hadn't used Ubuntu Desktop in years, and was blown away by how unintuitive everything felt in the GUI. nothing behaved how I expected (this isn't to say it is inherently bad; this is just my experience).

Tried Linux Mint XFCE instead and was instantly relieved that it was a similar user experience to Windows (since that's typically going to make things easier for beginners).

It's also my go-to distro if I have a machine lying around that's in-between tasks and just needs a general-purpose OS for the moment.

I have the regular bags from Food Lion and have been amazed at how sturdy they are.

I only recently noticed they also sell the rigid bags as well, and now I'm thinking of upgrading

I think I accomplished a similar effect on my first linux distro a long time ago with a program called "compiz" (iirc). "I'm so frickin 1337," I whispered under my breath. Nobody cared except me, though, lol.

I'm sure not gonna be the one to get close enough to hold its mouth shut. No siree.

I like to make things like this on weekend mornings. Not an every day thing.

It’s true, and much of the enlightened world does it.

Ain't it the truth. I'm an American who does software development for a French company and it's amazing. 10/10. Best job I've ever had.

1978 was when baby boomers were entering their 30's. Maybe that's why the $58,680/yr figure sounds high. It's my understanding that boomers made great money compared to newer generations (though I could be wrong about that; I'm no expert).

Agreed, lol. For me, it's hamburgers. I've made hundreds (thousands?) over the years but I'm still very hit-and-miss at it. Sometimes they turn out good, and other times they turn out rubbery or undercooked. Everything else I can cook with pretty good consistency, but burgers are my kryptonite.

Never messed up a Beyond Burger or Impossible Burger though, lol. Those are pretty idiot-proof, at least.

Warm take: I like my coffee warm (not hot)
