  • Pick 10 games, but only list 7 of them

  • MAGA doesn't want to promote of accomplish a stardard political goal like most other political parties. MAGA just wants to win. Once they've won and defeated their enemy, they need to find a new one. First, it was Obama, then Biden, Harris, immigrants, BLM, infectious disease experts, southern immigrants, and on and on...But they don't really believe their platform. It's unstable and lacks internal consistency because they say whatever to win. Once they beat their enemy, they have no goal. It all falls apart. I think the smart strategy for the next 2 years is for Democrats to stay out of the news, out of social media, and irrelevant. Let MAGA go at each other.

  • Maybe the play is that he threatens to ban them until drug companies talk to him at a dinner and discuss much needed financial support for this administration's projects.

  • Can you give practical examples so thatI could understand what you mean please?

  • I used to be an experimental chemist in the bathroom sink after my parents fell asleep. On one occasion, my father told me that he had to throw out my concoction I had saved since the night prior because it had attracted and killed a few roaches. I accidentally made a roach attractant and poison as a kid using substances found in an ordinary home.

  • So the USBP doesn't practically patrol regular routes at regular times? And the people smuggling $1.1 million in cocaine across the US-Canada border don't know those routes and times? And the smugglers happened to accidentally leave that much contraband laying around and disappeared with miles and miles of woods while USBP is patrolling? And they left it on the route to be easily found by some government employee just doing their routine? And the USBP agent just happened to be paying attention enough at the right time to spot 2 black backpacks? And when they checked, they found $1.1 million worth of cocaine inside? And no one was arrested in connection to that much cocaine just laying around at a border?

    Yep, nothing else to investigate here. Pack it up, boys.

  • Just like phylogenetics and moleculargenetics are both biology, but astrophysics is not, though all 3 are natural sciences.

  • Isn't brass more commonly used?

  • I haven't used Windows in about 3 years, so I may be out of date, but in my experience, Ubuntu and its derivatives work easier with scanners and printers. For me and my printer-scanner combo, I literally just have to place it and the Linux desktop on the same network/WiFi. I don't even have to add the printer-scanner. The OS finds it in the background on its own. It confused me the first time it happened because like you, I had wearisome issues in the past. Last I used Windows, I had to tell the OS to search for the printer and find the drivers for it myself online. Now, it's installed before I open up printers on my OS.

  • Devil's advocate: The FBI falls under the executive branch. Maybe allowing the executive branch to police Congress like that is seen as an unhealthy power imbalance from a higher perspective.

  • I disagree that lawlessness is better. Lawlessness is merely a brief period between two political systems. It could be good or bad. You might get fresh Animal Farm revolution, Lord of the Flies, or whatever else. Roll the dice and hope you don't get snake eyes.

  • I don't think so. It was on three seperate computers. I also used two FIDO keys, both identical. Maybe they're of poor quality, so it could be that. Any recommendations on a reliable FIDO key?

  • My car hit 25k and needed a new battery

  • Mint is great if you want a Linux experience that works with minimal hassle. It uses the Cinnamon desktop environment that is similar to Windows UI. It also has lots of apps and settings that imitate Windows, so it should be intuitive. Ubuntu is also an easy transition for new Linux users, but not as intuitive as Mint, and it has been getting some critique lately for decisions made by the distro's developer (Canonical). The decisions are likely not going to make much difference in your daily use as a new user, so I wouldn't worry to much about that specific issue because Ubuntu is a great distro for new users as well. In fact, Mint is based off of Ubuntu. Additionally, Ubuntu Server is one of the most popular server builds because of its ease of use. If you are unsure, you can make a Live USB of each and try them out for a few days.

    Tip: As a new user, it's possible that you will eventually make a mistake or change to your build that you would like to undo. To undo easily when the time comes, make sure you set up Timeshift when you first install your build. It takes snapshots at whatever regular intervals you would like so that you can revert back to one when the time comes. It has saved me lots of frustration.

  • GNUniverse

    Where x = verse:

    • GNU's
    • Not
    • Unix
  • Can you elaborate? To me, all of the TOTP authentication apps I have used are nearly identical aside from some minor aesthetics.
