Just so you know, most holsters protect the gun from just being taken, so this won't work. Go look up how they work so you know how to handle it when you need to.

So I have bad news for you... most of the opioid overdoses I have dealt with have had kids. So now you're getting the republican wet dream in multiple ways: hard times for the family who is left behind to care for the kids, if there is anyone. That means vulnerable kids, fucked up childhoods, and any adult is going to be much more stressed and not have much time on their hands. THAT means the pedophiles and abusers in the republicans can start having more opportunities, either through foster care environments or unattended kids. It means more kids getting into the foster system and getting dumped at 18, desperate for any job they can get, and oh, look,here's a minimum wage job in the mines, timmy, and you can live in this one room shack provided by the company. It means more kids who aren't going to be looked after by parents that encourage them to care about school, and now we have even more uneducated voters to feed into the republican propaganda machine.

It's all knock on effects, and it's not good.

So THAT'S why the war simulator games from the early 2000s had all those fog of war simulations going! It wasn't rendering distance capabilities at all!

That and dragon age as an elf were wonderful, because you play through as the 'superior' race (dark elf / human for morrowind/dragon age) first and don't even realize how fucked up it can be. Each time I just happened to play that order and it was amazing.

I mean, I thought it was a glorious confusion.

I have this fear that we won't even be able to trust fruits and vegetables. The most common food contaminations in the news always seem to be unwashed lettuce and such, which makes sense because of fertilizers.

Listen, the brisket doesn't need the sauce, because unless you're a weenie you get the moist... but ribs should be fucking dipped in that divine nectar.

The line about the library card is what drives me up the wall. It's ridiculous how tough it is to get in some places. You want a freaking utility bill?!? I'm renting a room, for fuck's sake. That isn't just a texas problem though, because I know florida was just as stupidly difficult.

I think it's overblown for the most part. Yes, the OS should just work... but it does, for 99% of users, on windows, and linux, and probably macos, which I haven't used so can't speak on.

The ones who blow up their systems are either techies who like futzing with stuff, or are using a 'bad' distro for their needs. If you're switching over granny, you set her up with a long term stable kernel, a vanilla distro, and a browser. The few other stories are when people switch from windows and want something specialized to be the same. Those will need a customized solution, but it's not much different than windows when something breaks. Whoever is playing IT gets to poke at a stupid amount of settings, registry edits, or esoteric drivers/dependencies.

Makes you wonder if they use the actors' rehearsals, just have the interns pretend to do a play by reading a script and doing some motions, book an acting troupe's time, or buy out a theater that's having an actual performance.

I just want to make sure I'm hearing you right on this... 1/5? Where is that number coming from?

How common is the story of “I was new to linux and completely broke it”?

Gee, it's common even for 'experienced' folks. I just went to update to the 6.14 kernel this morning (everything that I use [and monitor for conflicts] was supposedly finally working with it), and apparently that didn't play well with my desktop manager. Cue the tty at boot and trying different DMs until I finally said screw it and went back to the previous kernel.
