Thanks, mate. I installed Mint because a couple threads I checked said it was probably the best for people with no experience with Linux. One program I was trying to find a replacement for is a Monte Carlo simulation add-on for MS Excel called SIPMath Modeler tools from probabilitymanagement.org. I just started using LibreOffice as a replacement to Excel, so honestly I haven't checked out the add-on library yet. I'm not too worried about it yet since I have an older laptop that's air gapped now and still running Excel 2016 if I absolutely need to run the program.
I'm an accidental Linux adopter this year. I accidentally bricked a relatively new laptop by messing up an MSConfig setting, and since I didn't have Windows restore discs, I just switched it to a Linux desktop.
I honestly didn't know what to expect, but the laptop has been running really smooth since then. I didn't have a huge Steam library to replace, so the only bummer has been one or two Windows/Mac only apps that I haven't been able to find Linux replacements for yet. Otherwise, 8/10, would brick my laptop again.
Weren't the revolutionaries following Bane in that story portrayed as the villains? Because of how absurdly rich this Thompson asshole had become, his murder has struck me, from the perspective of his sons, to be more like the killing of Thomas Wayne in the universe your quote is from. Hopefully we don't end up with a shit version of Batman, but right now the killer could be more like Joe Chill
So Hysteria was a bit hit and miss in terms of how enjoyable it was, but it did land at a time when I was able to record from TV and use it to aid some school presentations. Every single time the teachers would ask where I got this from.
"Critics argue the move undermines the judicial process, while supporters view it as within Biden’s constitutional powers."
Both things are true though. The pardon power exists as a check on the judicial branch, so it certainly undermines it in the same way that the veto undermines legislative decisions by congress. The constitution gives the president the authority to do some pretty blatant undermining, but checks work in the other direction too if the branches are acting as co-equals and not just shilling for one of the others.
I wish I weren't so cynical, but in the US it could become much more difficult to buy an EV from any other company. Elump could use targeted tariffs to hurt competitors, or deport their work forces, or use justice dept to strip patents from competitors.
I think I may still be riding the hype of things like the JWST, and fusion energy breakthroughs. Our societies may be back sliding at the moment, but our species is still doing some amazing things.

Guys, I don't know what I am and I'm scared
