  • I don't know that I agree with the take represented in your linked article. If I'm reading it correctly, the primary reason not to switch shells is that those shells might not exist universally. That is a valid concern, but running which fish (as referenced in my original comment) should help to mitigate that risk factor. Scripts should always use a hashbang to specify their desired environment so, unless you're overriding that, it shouldn't be a concern.

    I agree that you shouldn't use shells that are not available to you. I don't think that means you shouldn't try to change shells if you are unsatisfied with your current one.

  • You can change your default shell in a few ways. I've never used fish, but vipw should open your passwd file, in which you can change /bin/bash to the appropriate path for fish (which you can find via which fish). It's probably best to only change this for your user.

    A possibly simpler option (and one that I don't believe requires root access) is the chsh command. I've never used it myself, so I'll let this site provide instructions for it: https://www.howtogeek.com/669835/how-to-change-your-default-shell-on-linux-with-chsh/

  • Long before I met her, my wife worked in mortuary sciences. I often forget that, though, because she got into different fields and I've never encountered her in her original environment.

    Still, every once in a while she'll come out with something like "so once I was working on this dead guy" and, well, let's just say all the attention in the room will suddenly be centered on her.

  • This bitch don't know about Pangaea.

    Warning, the first thirty seconds or so of the video are about as NSFW as you can get on YouTube.

    The part I'm quoting is almost exactly seven minutes in, but personally, I always enjoy the entire thing.

  • I am comprised of 90 some children and also was alive in the 90s, but sheltered. Looking up the quote from the image shows that it's a lyric from "She Talks to Angels" by The Black Crowes.

    I'm not sure about the background image. I think it might be artists who were popular in the 90s, but that's more than half just guessing.

  • A while ago there was a reddit post about how you don't need bagged popcorn to pop popcorn. You don't even need any of them there fancy air poppers. All you need is a glass container and the popcorn itself. And it's true!

    The only part that presented any trouble was finding a safe container with a safe lid - during the process of popping, an individual kernel is super warm, so if it hits a lid that can't tolerate that it can melt pits into the lid.

    Other than that (and making sure you don't add too much popcorn, that stuff expands like crazy), just dump the kernels into your container, cover it up (don't forget to vent as appropriate) and then microwave as you would the bagged stuff. Add your seasonings, shake up the container, and enjoy.
