I'm right there with ya. Don't forget to make sure you set the interleaving correctly on your Winchester drive!

I had a portable talking version of battleship (Battleship Command) as a kid and it has these little planes. If I remember correctly, I think they allowed you to "see" a little bit of the opponents board and you placed them on top of your own ships?

Also the sound effects in that version were great, almost all done by human voice. The ship sinking sound was hilarious "glub glub glub"

Edit: in fact, this picture definitely looks like it's from Battleship Command!

I have no idea how I went this long without knowing The Salt Lick did all you can eat family style meal, apparently it's even at the top of the menu...

Although I'll admit my favorite parts are the mustard BBQ sauce and the hammock garden, agreed that the BBQ is meh. And having known lots of country folks, evading taxes by only taking cash sounds about right.

I Circe what you did there!

Interesting, interesting. We call the female lightning bugs here glow worms because they are wingless, but today I'm learning that is not the case for all species!

Also Glühwürmchen is a cute word.

I grew up calling them lightning bugs, and I'm so excited to see a thread full of people calling them the same!

I remember once opening the door to a garage (with a gravel floor), hundreds of the little guys immediately dove in to the gravel. It was... fine. I was... fine.

Conversely, I was at a snake petting zoo and they had an arachnid room. There was a big ol' scorpion there covered with it's babies taking a ride and it was honestly very cute! (This was thousands of miles from home, so that helped too.)

In summary: Scorpions... sometimes?

I had no idea this could happen, I'll have to keep an eye out!

Spin 1/2 USB for extra uhh usability.

I know I'm a weirdo, but I really loved it since they felt like little puzzles. On the other hand, Electromagnetics felt like a swamp of sorrow and partial derivatives...

Yes it's nice to see a proper showing of our EE siblings 😄

Reasonably obligatory xkcd?

Aw, I remember coworkers had gotten corn and onion pizzas as a treat the first time I visited my remote office in Taipei (from Pizza Hut). I believe there were also shrimp pizzas, I felt very special 😊

But yes, alas it seems rare here in the US!

A legged continuity.

That's definitely a frustrating situation you have, and I very much encourage you to take the path that feels most possible to you!

Before moving on, I would like to point to trying what u/mvirts suggested, disabling ACPI from the grub bootloader. It's easy and great for getting an installer running and working, and sometimes the freshly installed and updated OS whisks the problem away.

But regardless of what you choose, I wish you much luck in your endeavours!

Agreed with others that this is likely a BIOS issue, and it would be good to check for a firmware update first.

In particular, this looks like it might be an issue with the USB port locations described by your BIOS ACPI. Maybe one of the embedded root hubs? You might be able to play with USB settings in the BIOS Config to see if that helps, especially loading default values. I also think it might be possible to blacklist ports from kernel parameters and that could be a good check... but I'm not very familiar with the parameters in recent years and didn't find anything in a quick search.

As a last ditch, you can disable ACPI entirely, but it can/will cause very odd performance and configuration issues along with no power management. (This goes double for portable systems.)

All joking aside, I would like to point out that the main dish at Waffle House is hash browns. I just don't want folks to be confused about such an important thing!

This makes me feel so much better after spending a morning banging my head against some wild pointer arithmetic, thank you much much! (Ultimately the pointer incantations were successful, praise be!)

I've been obsessed with it!! The cooking is amazing and I love the philosophical bits that are woven through everything.

Are you worried the cooking focus might take a back seat as the current storyline proceeds?

This feels like a Ryan Gosling reskin of a 3Blue1Brown video 😅 (which I guess really isn't even a little surprising... But it's a chance spread the good word of Mr. Sanderson!)

I believe it is Paper Cassette! And yes, I feel very old.
