In addition to exercises, remember to focus on your posture when sitting, standing, and walking. Stronger muscles won't help if your posture is still bad.

They use a salamander. (A broiler.) A sort of oven with the heating elements on the top of the chamber.

Factually incorrect, because there's proof May and Clarkson were both at the same pole.

What next election?

I've been "Linux-adjacent" for years, and recently switched my main gaming computer over to it. And I've seen exactly those frustrations so many times.

The good AND bad part about user-managed software is that the developer-users decide how things work, then things stay that way until other developer-users do things differently.

My most recent frustration? Drive automounting on boot.

On Windows or Mac, all physical drives mount when the system boots up.

On most, but all, varieties of Linux, it seems ONLY the system drive is mounted.

This gave me trouble when I tried to set a second drive as the default location for Steam.

Every time I rebooted, the Steam client forgot that I had a second hard drive. I didn't realize why, because in system settings I told the computer to mount all drives on boot.

But. But.

By default, Bazzite seems to set secondary drives as external, rather than internal. Spork knows why.

So I had to sift through forum posts until I discovered that the internal drive was being seen as external. Then I had to figure out the combination of partition management tools and console commands to tell the system to mount the drive as an internal drive, rather than external.

It now works perfectly - after over an hour of research and a couple days of frustration.

There are two problems: 1. An extremely basic thing doesn't work the way the majority of users expect it to, and 2. A majority of developer-users apparently think it works fine as it is and doesn't need to be changed.

So I feel your pain. I'd rather be using Linux now for gaming and for my 3D printing related hobbies.

But for my day job, I'm on PC or Mac. I have to be, because I can't stop working for two hours while I troubleshoot and find a solution to an obscure problem.

Several distros have those kinds of utilities built in.

Synaptics Package Manager comes preinstalled in lots of Debian derivatives.

Manjaro, Bazzite, and Endeavour have their own bespoke update managers. (Others do, as well, but those are the three non-Debians I've used most recently.)

I noticed your username, blocking you preemptively.

Literally every good breeder in the world will tell you that "doodle" dogs are not a breed.

Good breeders don't sell much as q "breed."

When people put "doodle" in the name, it's not because they're serious about trying to breed quality dogs.

"Airedoodle" isn't a breed.

What you have is a mutt. And mutts don't reliably take after parents.

Yes, and eggs have weight.

So they couldn't use eggs as a power supply.

Therefore, the only alternative was to rely entirely on solar.

There aren't. I've read up on it, it seems to work really well. And the firmware is upgradable, so they will probably release updates occasionally.

FPGA systems aren't like software emulators. The hardware itself emulates the original circuits, so the cartridges think they're talking to original hardware.

Yes, that basically sums it up.

I haven't handled one of those things myself, but they seem pretty excellent for total Game Boy replacements.

Depending on how much work you want to put in fixing up your old console, it might be worth considering one of those.

For example, you'll want to replace all the OEM capacitors on your old motherboard. Even if the system works now, a modern screen will put a greater strain on the power circuit. So if the 30-year-old capacitors don't get replaced, they could quickly start to fail.

Also, laminated screens need a full shell replacement.

So, including the capacitors, you're talking about around $65 in parts.

If you're comfortable working on small electronics, it makes sense to pay the $65. But if you're not, the $99 becomes more appealing.

Most kits ship with screens that are a multiple of the original Game Boy resolution. So the displays aren't distorted.

Look up Funnyplaying. They make some of the best kits on the market, I've used several of them myself.

Looks more like cafe latte.

What do you have when a Nazi sits at a table with four good people, and they allow him to stay?

You have a table with five Nazis.

Usually, some type of pun based on the hardware.
