Glad to hear things are improving and you haven't given up!

If you haven't already check ProtonDB for compatibility on your steam library! Anti cheat is usually a no go but some games will work. Non steam games you'll have to check something like Lutris/Heroic for support.

Thanks for linking the guide, totally slipped my mind!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but if you're using stock Pop_OS it uses xorg by default as the compositor which iirc has issues with multiple monitors on different refresh rates. You can edit your .config file to enable the Wayland compositor and give it a try and see if it works!

Working at a gas station, most of the truckers that came in would call me "boss" or "chief" which I thought was funny. Like "thanks boss" or "how's it going chief". Not sure its for everyone but its certainly neutral in my eyes.

Maybe we avoid cruelty and stick to shitty memes.

Relocate next to a reactor, plug in your 400GW GPU, and still get 30fps in flight simulator.

As long as you can keep busy that way it is fine to have those jobs with downtime! The challenge arises when, for example, the workplace doesn't allow personal cellphones on site or in the work area. Or perhaps there is an expectation to look busy all the time so you don't have the leisure to read or write. I've had the luxury to have a job where I can relax a fair bit and have some enjoyable free time with your pastimes listed above.

My previous job was at a workplace with no useable internet, poor cellular signal, and no phones allowed while working policy. Very strict to always be doing something to look busy but when there is nothing to do it gets dreadful.

Looking forward to others experiences on this!

Just buy a pre built, take all the parts out and put em back in for the full experience. It really feels like a new build if you leave it apart for a few weeks so you forget where everything was!

That's a Lobsturkey 'round these parts.

You could try Niagara Launcher. I'm using it and it's got that decluttered home screen but it's fairly minimal. It's worth mentioning you do get most relevant features in the free version.

I was grading seed at a grain processing/storage facility for a few years and it had enough down time during the evenings to do any schooling. I managed a full-time pre calculus to shore up my post secondary education requirements. My coworker ended up going back to college for programming and did a lot of his work on the afternoon shift. Our schedule was a 6am-2pm with little down time, and then an afternoon shift from 2pm-10pm with way more free time.

In my case, you didn't have as much down time as some other quieter jobs but they paid ~$30 an hour so there's value if you are looking for some extra cash. No prior experience required.

There was a 12hr night/day rotation for other parts of the facility where you'd swap every few days and get a week off somewhere in the mix but that schedule wasn't for me.

That is a hilariously short article.

There has to be some sort of incentive either for smaller cars or against larger cars. Currently you can go into a dealer, tell them you want the biggest baddest truck/SUV that they have, and buy it all while having a normal license.

You'd only be paying a slight premium on whatever road or fuel tax if that while having the benefit of not getting destroyed in a car accident. As it stands, there is little reason to buy a larger vehicle unless you actually don't like driving a car that big.

I think you are making a mountain out of a mole hill here my man. Having no questions asked 14 days to see if you like not only the form factor but also the stock OS sounds pretty good. I think it'd be just as annoying to hold the phone for 5 minutes, buy it, and then find out later you have gripes with the OS that you don't like.

Even though you think it's annoying to do, it might be worth the trouble to atleast try the phone you aren't familiar with.

Really is horrific seeing the government pull these shenanigans with little to no repercussions. Our next election can't come fast enough

217 shots, my guy went straight for that 6G.

Running the reactor exclusively at night would be pretty funny.. The air temperature might be able to cool it enough. Apparently night time on the moon gets far below -100C, that has to have some cooling merit no?

Some solar to offset the day time losses? Idk I'm no scientist. Either way insanely ambitious project.

Never driven on the other side of the road but I have driven right hand drive. It was a little strange for pretty much the first couple shifts but the pattern was ultimately the same.

Personally I enjoyed the experience, it's always fun to try something new. I still prefer left hand drive because it's what I'm used to but don't let comfort keep you from a memorable experience!
