Testing the KDE versions of the distros, I realized I have just gotten used to Gnome, and ended up installing the Fedora workstation version. Great advice Pointedstick. Easy as pie to install, much faster on my old Thinkpad than Pop, in fact, running Pop in Boxes, something else new to me, it is act...

Thanks Pointedstick.

I am testing the live USBs of KDE Fedora and MX Linux Fedora. Both look good and I read that the developers of Fedora have gone out of their way to address battery life out of the box which is a thorn with Pop and a lot of other Linux Distros.

Thanks for the advice.

@Pointedstick Holy cow. Thanks for the heads up. So for a casual user like me you would recommend Ubuntu? I saw you advised against Debian which I was leaning towards. "I would recommend staying away from Debian, Arch, openSUSE, or anything else directly based on them." Are there internal ...

I would recommend Pop!_OS. I installed it on a whim after seeing a bunch of great reviews and now I am completely a fan. There is a company called System 76 that sells computers with Linux preinstalled. Instead of using a default Linux system they made their own variant based on Ubuntu. Why I like i...

Well, you really can't be too careful.

For some reason this post is making me want to invest in Liquid Paper.

One of my favorite things about this forum is that there aren't 60 pages of Rittenhouse.

I have no idea why this ended up in my suggested videos since I never watch skating, but I watched it anyway. This is Galina Valieva, a 15 year old Russian skater, skating in her first competition as an adult. She ends up scoring higher than anyone has ever scored in woman's skating. Quite an amazin...

I suffered from a Major Depressive Disorder for years. Therapy and Wellbutrin worked for me. I don't know if you are ready for this or not, but there are plenty of men out there in the same boat and the worst thing is that feminism has hijacked men's protective instincts and no one believes you, eit...

Can anybody read that or is it paywalled? It is paywalled. Here's a link to the text. The trick is to take the WSJ url, run it through an URL shortener , and then extract the text via outline . There's also the Bypass Paywalls browser extension. Worked for me. If you are using Firefox, use this ext...

This looks interesting. Organic Farmland fund with annual returns of 10% https://fortune.com/2021/04/15/bill-gates-investments-farmland-billionaires-jeff-bezos-thomas-peterffy-stewart-resnick/ A groundbreaker to watch is Farmland LP, America’s largest investment manager of organic farmland (you can ...

This young woman discovered a surprisingly touching cure for wokeness:

@boglerdude All of this gets dismissed so easily by most everyone. None of it will be vindicated until vaccine status gets tied into bio-metrics which becomes a de facto ID system. If this is then connected to payment systems then the conspiracy theorists are right, only it is too late. Until that h...

I’ve heard good things about OneNote and Obsidian. I don't know how good Obsidian is for tracking finances. I have been using it for organizing a writing project and it has saved me months of work. My favorite feature is that you can view a group of documents in a three dimensional view that operat...

I think young men are much smarter than they are given credit for, even than they give themselves credit for, and that they are just doing a simple cost/benefit analysis. In the sixties you could get a job and raise a family straight out of high school. In the seventies and eighties there were good ...

Damn, you guys-- Do you have any idea how Russian women age? Sure, they may look good to you now, but when those warts start popping out and their noses sag worse than their boobs, you're going to regret it deeply. Besides, what's wrong with WiseOne and me? We may not have sex tapes, but we come wi...

They left out: "stay married" and 'go to church."

This is obviously a deliberately provocative statement, meant more to define the state of humanity than the state of God. I think it can be read either of two ways, and I'm not sure which is correct. Either Nietzsche is lamenting that people no longer have the proper regard for God, or he's exaltin...

This is obviously a deliberately provocative statement, meant more to define the state of humanity than the state of God. I would imagine that he was referring to the way that the scientific, mechanistic world view was supplanting the idea of a benevolent creator for people. No longer would we look ...

Thank you, WiseOne. Will check that out.

Okay, but not really addressing specifically where Ornish is wrong. Here is Ornish's point in a nutshell: While Dr. Ornish admits weight loss is possible on a ketogenic diet, he asks whether ‘you are mortgaging your health’ when doing so. He says: “The answer is yes. When you look at the arteries of...

@WiseOne I am curious about this ketogenic diet and am sure you have your facts in order but I am experiencing serious cognitive dissonance having in the past read and put into practice the Dean Ornish diet, and the keto diet appears to be the opposite of that. My question is, has the work of Ornish...

It isn't just ISIS. It seems like most of the terrorists have very considerately halted operations while we were getting COVID under control.
