Same with playing cards

It's a common myth that farmers want daylight savings, but farmers are actually usually quite opposed to it. Daylight savings was originally proposed as a way to conserve energy, but it wasn't put into practice until the world wars, where energy conservation was actually important.

There will always be some incompetent people in every profession. I'm sorry your doctor is one of them

Some of Hitler's bodyguards said that Hitler was a fan of Chaplin. There's speculation (but not evidence) that he borrowed it because he liked Chaplin

Is this a conservative meme? I thought it was poking fun at Trump's "they're eating your pets" statements from the debate

EDIT: grammar

Don't some birds vomit to feed their young? So this bird is just preparing the meal so it's nice and ready when it gets home!

Meetups and clubs based around certain interests have worked well for me.

Examples: writing clubs, chess clubs, book clubs, hiking clubs, debate clubs, etc.

I have trouble at parties where I have to find things to talk about with people I don't know, but at interest clubs then we're all there for the same purpose and there's a clear thing to talk about! If you hit it off with anyone, then you can begin hanging out outside of the club

Thanks for your reply. Here are my specs and I've added them to the post:

• Motherboard: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. X570S GAMING X
• RAM: 32 GiB
• CPU: AMD® Ryzen 9 5900x 12-core processor × 24
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti

I'm not sure what dkms is but I just Googled it and it looks like it's related to AMD, is that right? I have an NVIDIA GPU so it might not be relevant.

I ran sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade like you suggested and then tried updating some components while doing something in my browser. It seems promising so far, thanks! I'll need to do more updates to know for sure though

Pretty sure it's just expanded and pronounced "for real," so frfr would be "for real for real."

The day levels were legendary

I didn't pass the whiteboard interview ☹️

nuh uh

Gender studies isn't a job, it's an academic field
