And of course they were found in the same location they went missing.

Did they reach a conclusion or still ongoing?

Panel 3 was pulled off so well, I actually felt a bit warm and fuzzy before panel 4.

I mean it makes sense because it needs to be bright in daylight.

Terry Pratchett is pretty much the Tolkien of flat earth literature.

Edit: give me 100 upvotes and that will satisfy me more than 2k on Reddit.

Edit 2: AWESOME!

In China people are pretty honest about it being the time of the month or trying for a baby. As a father myself, my friend and colleague just told me they were trying. I just never went through the experience of 'trying'. My wife and I just conceived randomly and immediately we went 'Yes let's keep it!' No regrets.

Building on their comment, perhaps the capacitor is building up energy and dissipates it every 20 seconds. Like beats in resonance when you hear a pulsing in the volume when a guitar plays a single note or chord.

And it's easy to lose the routine and gets even harder to start again.

My most recent example with EndeavorOS was trying out KDE which I thought looked really smart on the desktop. Then it started glitching. Arch tends to be bleeding edge so that makes sense. But it meant I had to make a new choice of distribution or DE.

But Debian based Ubuntu? On Virtualbox? That seems a bit off. Maybe LTS would provide the stability you need.

I guess because development is decentralised, that you end up with developers working on different packages and when they update one it has a ripple effect on other packages.

You make a good case. In my more simple case, I need efficient and smart looking PowerPoints and no foss alternative can beat office 2016. And dozens of programs are windows only. I've tinkered with wine/play on Linux before and it just doesn't work out of the box for the majority of programs.

I think he ought to have said 4 and then pause. Took me a while to figure this one out!

I think it's the Apache helicopter that stops the rotors instantly on eject. No need for Mach 13. I know this graphic is a joke though, I just remembered this cool thing about the helicopter.

When using sudo yay it recommends not using sudo. It seems I had two different outcomes from using sudo and then from not using it. Having used it, what effect does this have?
