Bill Clinton is hospitalized for observation and testing after developing a fever

Jump

  • Well, half of that would surely make anyone at least a jerk, at base level. All of it? That's surely enough for top asshole status.

    Alright. Fuck Clinton. New headcanon.

  • TL:DR on Clinton being a piece of shit.

    I get he's a rich asshole, we got anything beyond that? I always thought his presidency was rather tame but I wasn't really paying attention to politics at the time.

    how fucking old are you, gh-

    Old enough to see the 1989 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle film in theaters.

    • Did someone actually quit smoking after using a vape?

    Jump

  • For me, vapes made it so I could take a huge hit and effectively dose myself with a cigarette in a minute, then get back to work. Hell, I can get my fix by dipping around a corner and back without going anywhere.

    • Question about Linux culture.

    Jump

  • Consider each distro like a house of kung-fu.

    We are all hitting dummies, we are all practicing falls, drops, and stances, but we have different names, cultures, methods and ideas of getting those same goals done.

    So what's the benefit of having programs each installed in separate locations that are wildly different?

    Installing an Appimage or flatpak almost entirely leaves that program inside your Home folder, meaning, if you were to reinstall your base system, even a different distro... within reason, those apps would still continue to function, all of their libraries and connections made within a folder that didn't change.

    Linux is about aversion to risk. On Windows, you'd backup and restore your entire system. Linux brings into question what you consider "your system". Some distributions can be entirely rebuilt from the ground up via a text file's instructions and nothing else.

    My main desktop can be back up and running from a complete SSD failure in 20 minutes, a combination of backups and a saved Archlinux installation config for that system.

    Like yeah, a CRT suddenly makes it so all of the fancy filters you have configured on retroarch are no longer necessary, and neither is frame advance for input latency if you're using native hardware or a mistr.

    But is it worth it?

  • Not even, it's just comparing you to the average joe.

    Who's more suspicious? The dude who visits GitHub, has a Matrix account and visits the arch wiki every six months or the dude who mostly sticks to Facebook talking to his family?

    Yeah right.

    • Did someone actually quit smoking after using a vape?

    Jump

  • Depends on what part of it you're addicted to.

    I just want nicotine. I don't care out of what.

    Some people want the feel, sensation and flavor of a cigarette.

    I just want my fix so I can carry on with my day.

    That's kinda the line between moving to a vape or not.
