Ugh, compost yourself. Someone else could better use the carbon.

I’m sure they’ll carve out an exception for those eventually.

What’s your dew temp?

One of my favorites - I’m crossing the street as a pedestrian, a car waiting to turn is waiting for me to get across, and everyone behind them (who still have a clear view of me) are honking at them for not going.

The more they honk, the slower I walk.

I'm aware he didn't storm the island by force - I didn't use those words. The implication was that he went where it was made abundantly clear he wasn't wanted - more than once - and suffered the consequences.

Is that what you appreciate about me, Squirrely Dan?

I really wish more people were comfortable with admitting this. Props to you for being self aware.

I was bored, so I entertained myself with murder.

What a fantastic society he’s fighting for.

At least one idiot tried, and he got what he fucking deserved.

Roasted/grilled.

Other sources were already posted in the comments showing that “redneck” referring to farmers predates its usage to refer to coal miners/communists. Definitely agree there’s a lot of stuff conveniently left out of our history books, though.

Right? I don’t think anyone ever even told me that was the origin, it just sort of made sense intuitively.

Yeah, VR headsets still seem to have a ways to go on Linux from what I read. I’d agree for something like that, dual boot would be a better option than a VM.

The rules for how they’re supposed to work sound simple enough on paper. Unfortunately a lot of us in the US have poor reading comprehension skills.

I know there’s a Citrix Workspace app for Linux, but this particular company’s environment won’t work in it for whatever reason. I tried making it work - got all the way through authenticating my credentials and then would throw an error (I forget what) as soon as it tried loading the dashboard.

And this is just a part time gig I’m doing for supplemental income, so it’s not a huge concern for me. Not really an important enough employee for them to spend time making a custom image for, particularly when they said up front I’d need Mac or Windows to use the Citrix environment, so I knew going in I’d probably need a VM if I couldn’t get their stuff working in Linux.

I think it may have something to do with the workspace protection they require for guarding against screenshots.

This was my solution. If I need windows for anything, I’ve got a Win10 VM. And with QEMU/KVM, it gets near native hardware performance. Thankfully the only thing I need it for currently is checking my work email once a day for a part time thing I do - their particular setup for the Citrix Workspace environment I’m required to use won’t work on Linux.

How to properly go through a four-way stop.
