  • Three times.

    Twice from trusting farts. Pretty standard story.

    Once because I was sick with food poisoning but had to make a 300 mile drive that day. Couldn't hold the diarrhea in while vomiting on the side of the road. Luckily I had a change of clothes and got home before the second round of duplex emesis hit.

  • A friend of mine shot skeet in the Olympics one year. His gun cost about $12k. He reloaded his own rounds and went through about 250-1000 rounds a day before training, roughly tripling that leading up to the event.

    The gun was so expensive because the brand would take your old one on trade every year (for a relatively small fee) for a new one. The program was for people just like him.

  • I've always thought the system of last names should be hyphenated. Your paternal last name first, maternal last name second. Women no longer change their names when marrying. Men pass the paternal name down to their kids, women pass down the maternal. That way last names are essentially a record of who your OG matrons and patrons are.

  • The difference is that, for Windows, a million other people have seen your problem most of the time, so there's usually some kind of support article that can point you in the right direction on how to fix your problem without having to dive into the docs.

    Linux just doesn't have that luxury. If I were getting paid to solve the problem, sure, I'd probably have figured it out in a day or so as a Linux noob. But I'm not. My free time is limited. I don't need to know much about Windows because it works pretty much all the time (ymmv).

  • One time I used the store UI thing in Ubuntu to install a package and it made it so that every subsequent time I opened it it would just freeze. I couldn't figure out how to uninstall it via the command line because it had some kind of lock on it. After awhile I gave up and reinstalled windows.

  • Not me but my mom. Her great grandmother gave her her "mad money" stash that she'd saved over the years, all in silver dollars. She didn't think much of it, just kept it as a memento.

    Turns out it's 300 silver dollars minted between 1900 and 1905; some of them are worth over $1k by themselves.
