Coming to a USA near you

Does she know about Poutine?

As a Canadian I can say Costco fries are really good

Try behind the head headphones. The bans rides at the back base of your head.

We’ve got a few crow friends, they follow us on our dog walk and will now come within 2 feet of our dog to ask for dog treats or peanuts. Another dog came near the crows and our dog went into guarding mode… So I think she figured out they are bros

We had debt and paying for kids stuff so were on a super super tight budget at one point. I’d stick to staple foods like lentils, rice, potatoes. I’d boil potatoes for a dish and then save the water because that can be a soup base for the next meal. Some grocery places near us have dollar bags where they round up random veg that will be unfit to sell in a few days. I used to score a dollar bag with an onion a carrot, peppers, potatoes, and tomatoes in it. Perfect combo for a mixed veg curry for a dollar.

The loudest voices are the ones you hear. There’s a lot of young angsty kids who have gotten into Linux and then become the vocal majority, while wiser folks are off doing other activities that don’t entail berating new comers.

Pause means Break

You may want to find a different job. This one does not suit you or your idea of what it should be.

If you were an independent contractor you could sit all day till your contracted duty comes up. But with the job you took with the employer had notes that they will ask you to do other duties; this is what this job is. Here we call it a porter, and it can be pushing a patient to treatment, delivering med to another floor, bringing a binder to the lab…whatever needs doing basically.

Many people prefer to be busy so they day goes by fast, and so normally taking on a duty when it’s not your specific job is well received. In your case it sounds like you don’t enjoy that part. So dude find a new job.

You are on here a lot complaining about work, its time to take action rather than look for validation for the friction your stance is creating between you and staff at work.

I’m not saying one way or the other is the correct way to work, just that this job doesn’t suit you.

And I’m not hating on your for your choice because I see both sides. My wife was a union rep at her work and she’s very by the book / work duty and everything else is someone else’s role. Where as my job is very fluid. I was hired specifically for expertise on a software to help get customers solutions and training on that software. But it can also be sales, or traveling to do presentations, or doing a customer process audit, or video editing and sound production, or documentation, or CAD modeling for clients, or automating their workflow, sometimes a customer is around the globe so instead of 9am I join a meeting at 5am (means I end work at 1pm instead of 5pm), And I’ve even been contacted out of my company to work directly at another company to do whatever they needed. Point is I don’t care what the paper says I was hired for, they are all opportunity to make my day go by fast and learn something different.

Find a job that encourages you to expand your horizons, or one that suits your “I only get up to do the exact task” role.

8gb RAM on that machine. kDE used less than GNOME, but when you check the memory stats the extra was cache, not bloat

I have a 2010 laptop. Tried KDE and GNOME (as well as other DEs). I found KDE lagged on the laptop, and GNOME was super responsive. People told me it would be the opposite of that because GNOME was a heavy desktop, but it just caches stuff so its always ready and on a 15 year old laptop the cache was faster than the processor :)

There is one something like this for me and that is the word Gnome. People say it as either Nome or GuhNome. But I was taught that GN makes a nasally ng with toungue going back closing Tue throat/roof of mouth like you would like the sound and the ending of ing words. Like ngnome. If I say Gnome or Nome my tongue and throat are doing different things. Gnometongues is at the back first, Nome tongue is against roof of mouth at the front teeth to start. To a listener it might not be that noticeable unless they spoke a language with those specific sounds.

Latin Alphabet like in English is mostly phonetic and we aren’t looking at a an individual pictograph to read it, we have to scan across the word left to right to form it. Our eyes are used to this method and reading vertically is much much slower (besides the alphabet upper strokes and lower strokes messingbup vertical soacing)

Left to right or right to left eye movement is much more natural as we are usually scanning left to right while outside and much less up in the air down to your feet movements.

Scent, cent, sent all sound identical in English, thus why spelling is a challenge in English.

Same as Know and No.

Most people say Whole and Hole the exact same, except certain regions will pronounce the WH as the true Whuh sound. The Family Guy show pokes fun of this with the CoolWhip word.

Then there is the Welsh speaking the English language where they say Ear, Year, Here the exact same way. LOL (as Yuhr)

This ^. I had an NVidia card from 2007 or something worked fine on OpenSUSE

Are you trolling us with your choice between 25K and 50K drives?

I would never trust that much data to a single drive.

Its in the old hiatory books. The Welsh were from the Original Celtic Britons of the Iron age. Before the ‘new’ invaders.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celtic_Britons

See the red part. Now that’s all squished into the western tiny zone after the various invaders drove them into it

I’d have to dig into the archives but all of Britain was once the Welsh, till the ‘English’ invaders pushed them into the pocket of land they are in now. I wonder if the Union Jack specifically left off the dragon, as to not recognize the welsh folk lore, or claim of an independent group like the rest of flags on it

The fabric is thin and wears out over time from taking them on and off. Mine eventually just crumbled into tiny flakes everywhere

Well at least the Welsh kept it as their nation’s flag.
