I'm 37 with two young kids. I don't play as much as I did before marriage and kids, but I still find time. Mainly in the evenings when everyone else has gone to bed (though that's also time I might put toward other hobbies).

I also have a weekly time set up with some buddies, which is especially great since social time also took a big hit with having kids.

Fine, we'll add altitude as well.

GPS coordinates. Much more efficient than storing country, province, city, address, and postal code. Let the front end handle the rest.

My left monitor is placed more directly in front, while my right monitor is more angled. I generally use the left as my "primary" and the right as the "secondary", though they're identical otherwise.

You're assuming the answer must be binary, where "yes" means you're honest all the time and "no" means you're dishonest all the time. Those characters show up in riddles, but in reality, most people are somewhere on the scale in between perfectly-honest and perfectly-dishonest.

Even the question "are you an honest person?" would, to most people, mean "are you generally honest?" Either answer makes sense here.

Smh my head, people will see a guy thriving with his milk bottle caps and claim he's a barbarian for only having one cloth peg. Let birds enjoy things.

What's wrong with it?

Liquor in ceramic is either very fancy, or the absolute least fancy (see: backwoods hooch).

I tried compiling DoritOS, but apparently I didn't have the right chip

Water reacts with aluminum over time. The inside of aluminum cans have always been lined. Same with aluminum water bottles and cans. If your aluminum water bottle is old and makes water taste funny, get a new one--the lining is probably shot.

I'm thinking it's a real fight that is also accomplishing those other things.

They're helpful to determine the general community's take on something, even if there is little other engagement.

And if I'm being honest, getting upvotes is a sweet hit of dopamine. But I try to keep things in perspective.

I'm a senior with a good boss, I pretty much just ignore it. And fortunately, at least in my company, most people have done that (especially with the safety critical stuff). But management still has a way of making your life miserable when you stand your ground on this kind of thing, so it's also common to just tell them some bullshit and go about your job.

It depends on the way you like to learn.

If you like to play around with things and look things up as you need, go with a beginner-friendly distro (Mint, ElementaryOS, and Pop!OS are all good options). This gives a more immediate payoff (in that there are lots of fun things to experiment with right away), but you'll learn things kinda piecemeal.

If you like to learn by reading first, then starting with the absolute minimum and gradually working your way up, something like Arch might be great for you. It's a much slower process and has a much steeper learning curve, but if you have the discipline for it, you'll come out with a really solid understanding of how things work.

Most people start with something simple, and venture into the more intimidating waters when they feel comfortable. If you're not sure, try Mint and go from there. You can always wipe it and install Arch later (if you don't have anything important on this laptop, you can try lots of different ones without worrying about migrating or losing anything).

Any instance can simply say, "we're full". But it's up to the instances themselves--it wouldn't make sense to impose an arbitrary limit, because each instance has different capabilities.

But normalizing instance membership limiting seems sensible for a network with this model.

Brilliant, no notes.

It's okay, I'll still take it.
