I've been there though. Bike tour with my girlfriend. Weather report is fine, road is marked clearly on map.

Caught in a torrential thunderstorm at the top of the mountain, road down to the hotel is blocked off since last month but its not visible anywhere online.

We take a side trail marked on the map. Google says its there, OSMAnd says its there. It technically is there, but it clearly hasn't been maintained in years, and it is clearly not bikeable, but we have no other alternative to get down the mountain (other than go back the way we came through the storm).

Cue to us carrying our bikes down a steep "path" (read: vertical border of some farmer's field, so marked as a path for legal reasons) under a quickly darkening sky. The village below is reachable, we just have to survive the drop. No turning back, tensions are high, the bulls in the field next to us are eyeing us warily, and who knows how friendly they are.

We make it down by the skin of our teeth, onto a real road, cycle the next 30km to the hotel, and eat a victory pizza. That pizza, to this day, sticks out in my mind as the most tastiest meal I've ever had.

That large blip in Bush's approval is 9/11, right?

right, we're all guilty -- not the powers that be that enabled it in the first place with the sole aim of fleecing the masses

Perfect -- this solved the issue completely for me

sudo pacman -Sy linux-lts nvidia-dkms
## removes nvidia

I am philosophically against duplicating similar libraries, so I don't use flatpak. Insufferable, I know

Same, I can't do anything else

Ah that's what it is. Of course!

So is he voiced by Tom Paris or not?

You don't need to be a master of anything. The hobbies you've tried are facets of your interest, and they still lie within you ready to be awoken again. If you fear that not mastering them makes you bad at them, then you're hobbying for the wrong reason. Just have fun, no matter how shitty that fun is.

Am I vintage to you?

Becuase Randy Marsh used it as a defence during his alcohol phase
