AH yes - I thought it must be an American thing.

Yeah - I reckon it must be an American thing.

Who on earth calls their feet "dogs"? I've also never heard of "putting on the dog", but that's probably just because. 🐶

IANAL, but I doubt it. While I think it probably follows the spirit of the law, it's unlikely to meet the actual law itself - which is what counts.

Of course, you don't mention what country you're from - which could make all the difference...

and each closed-source drivers version only works with a single kernel version. It might work OK as long as the drivers and kernel are kept in sync (I think Pop! or Nobara have nVidia specific versions for this reason), but otherwise each kernel upgrade is a risk.

Are you sure this is true? I make no attempt to keep my kennel and driver in sync and have never had any problems at all. I'm pretty sure you're wrong about this

Plus nVidia drivers are basically shit with Wayland and cause a ton of issues.

This is kind of true, but overstating. I use nvidia with Wayland also the time and, apart from some games, it works really well. Many of those issues will be fixed when explicit sync is released.

That all said, is she that AMD is currently best for Linux.

You're often old? But what about the rest of the time?

I hate the recent trend of using "onboarding". It sounds clunky to me and as if you're trying to sound all cool and up to date.

liberal simply means a supporter of capitalism

That's simply not true. Liberal means being open to other ideas and tolerant of people having other opinions.

Wouldn't be a Wombat and would be a cat, so I'm going to pass.

And that's fair enough. Claiming you can definitively disprove the existence of the Christian God and having some objections that you haven't heard a convincing response to aren't the same thing though...

None of this is new or hasn't been thought about, written about and deflated for centuries. I doubt you have any theologians shaking in their boots.

The meaning of omnipotence as it translates to Good has always been nuanced. There have always been things God can't do - sin being the obvious example. You could debate whether he can, but just never would because of his character, but it amounts to the same thing and has been orthodoxy for centuries.

The apparent contradictions on the Gospels (especially synoptic) have been done to death. Debated and answered more times than you've had hot dinners. There is no serious theologian or biblical scholar who would hear that argument and be at all concerned by it.

Honestly the same applies to the idea of a good god and suffering.

Unless you claim, as OP did, that you can actually disprove it.

I agree that the Bible is not sufficient in the sense that it proves anything or sews up their arguments, but to suggest its historical value as evidence is the same as modern day fiction is absurd.

Yes, you said that, but what exactly?

How can you prove the Christian God doesn't exist?

Mammals don't need to be pregnant to lactate or, at least, they need to have been pregnant, but, after that, as long as they keep being "milked" they'll continue to lactate. I know you weren't necessarily saying otherwise, but just for clarity.

I used to work with a guy who genuinely thought all dairy cows were forcibly kept permanently pregnant in order to produce milk.

If we're just using "magic" to distribute animals then I want a Wombat who's been magically shattered to actually make a good pet and who won't burrow under the fence into my neighbour's gardens.

Or a puppy.

I'd change what I booked for the honeymoon. We went to Turkey and it was too hot and we both got sick.

I'd have just booked a cottage somewhere nice here in the UK.

Domestic cats. Partly because they poop in my garden, but mostly because they're secretly planning to take over the whole world and enslave the human race.

My wife and I both grew up in the eighties/nineties and this was exactly her attitude for years. It was only when I went ahead and grew one anyway - despite her reservations - and she decided she actually likes the way I look with it and now won't let me shave it off!

I couldn't be bothered to read all (or even much) much of this, but it really doesn't feel like Google search is dead...
