Ha! I’m skinny too and my wife always tells me, floating in water is just a learnable skill
I’m just drowning as well…even if I try to control my breathing to stay afloat, my legs will drop and it’s just a constant struggle to stay tensed, breathing while trying to keep a full lung to have more volume…
She meanwhile just floats by relaxing and doing nothing.
I’m still not sure if it’s really just technique or her boobs are acting as a life vest…
I loved my Pulse 15 (Gen 1) from Tuxedo
It was a performance monster and still had amazing battery life.
But as others have said, they only take some finished Clevo models - like most small distributors, who can’t afford their own factory.
But they verify that everything runs with Linux, else they sometimes patch stuff.
And I need to highlight their support!
After years with my Pulse 15 the battery became a pillow, because I used a USB C charger that wasn’t working right (always switched on and off, which killed the battery)
Pretty much without questions asked I got a new battery for free.
Now I have it to my nephew, who enjoys Minecraft on this laptop (still Linux), but the CMOS battery was dead.
Got that one for free as well after warranty
So, I can’t really complain about them.
Actually the opposite.
But I still settled for a Framework 16, because I wanted something different and the models at that time weren’t fitting my use case…
Yeah… Thanks
English isn’t my first language and it’s Friday, I’m everything but sober
I worked with a diplomated software engineer and that idiot couldn’t even set up his own computer.
This whole branche is cursed…
As said, I was young…
I was 16 and saved all my money for my own laptop.
Was looking at a MacBook Pro, which was sold on eBay as an outlet unit with minor defects (like scratches) for a third less.
Bought it and sent my money through Western Union just to never see it - or any laptop - again
16 year old me was more than heart broken…
In Austria we also had the ‘Schilling’ before the Euro
I’m still not sure how this 2 currencies are connected - at least by name…
Maybe I can also chime in here
Was awake with some caffeine for like 3-4 days. After that the light of the sun got a strange blueish colour and I just couldn’t keep up anymore.
Years later I was routinely up for 2-3 days, but once was up for 5 days with some chemical help.
Major hallucinations with that.
Had a cleaning lady inside my apartment, which was nice.
A guy laying on my desk, that looked like the death smiling at me.
And after some time I, and a hash hot chocolate, which should have helped me to finally sleep, I had a full blown river beside my couch, separating me from my other stuff.
But nothing really troubling, just stuff that was there and could still kinda see through, that it’s bullshit.
Took me quite some embarrassing time to figure out the alternative reading
Just reading from bottom up somehow wasn’t that obvious at first
Well, that’s how my business trips usually look like.
Work outside of usual production, but still somehow watch and verify your changes during production the next day, maybe producing hot-fixes, and trying to get some sleep until you can do your tests of changes at night, after you hopefully have swallowed all the fucking log data with a beer - and sometimes 2 and something stronger.
Then you go to bed with an unresolved issue, wake up during the night with some kind of wacky dreamed up solution.
Without any other option you hack it in, and it miraculously works.
Then you go home and sleep - until some support call disturbs your Zen and you’re helplessly confused again …
Actually, in some industries this is actually a good thing
If you can have a bumpy first day on Friday, and e.g. the warehouse is closed on the weekend, you can fix all the things you’ve seen on Friday during the weekend. And don’t have to suffer through a real rough week with in-production patching
They don’t have that? Oo
That’s like car building 101. Even I’m aware what the purpose of the pattern is und I have absolutely nothing to do with cars.
Would be interesting to know, if they just cheaped out or if it was a deliberate design choice by Elmo
Thank you!
I always tell my wife, I couldn’t even switch to a younger girlfriend, just because of the smell
Don’t know what’s up with that, but can’t stand the smell of schools either…
As far as I know, Peyote is only home in the Americas
How could that be the reason of the burning bush in the middle east?
I would put stuff like ergot in the ring, as it would add up with with bread and farming focused civilisations
Yawning also has a social effect, which is why it is “contagious”
If a big part of the tribe gets tired, then everyone will want to rest.
Do your will
If you lose the ability to do your own will, and only do what is expected from you, that’s when you lose yourself
Disregard society. Doesn’t matter if you’re currently confirming or not, when you do something.
You do it, because of your own will.
I think, with that ethic base framework, you can just be yourself.
Ah, some piercings in some places can feel very nice
But I’m with you on the Ideology stuff - especially the fascism part
As always, we Anarchist are the left last stone to make a change
Maybe better to get some basic self defense training
It’s not always possible to carry your gun and just shooting someone isn’t the answer anyway.
Break an arm, destroy a knee, kick some balls.
That should do the trick as well and is much more reasonable in most situations
And imho also more satisfying
Especially as you learn some confidence, as you then carry your weapon all the time and can use the force necessary for each situation
Hehe, that’s exactly where I got my idea from to control my breathing to try to float ;-)
Like an internal dive jacket
