My gym has separate little shower/changing rooms

Yeah I ended up using gym t shirt that was fairly clean since I didn’t do cardio. It all worked out in the end

I don’t have Facebook though. And I was all wet. Seemed appropriate

- Comment on YSK what legal rights you have in encounters with ICE 2 days ago:
Title should be changed to “ysk what legal rights will be violated in encounters with ice”
- Comment on In multiple shots (no pun intended) it is shown him holding a phone to record. Question is what happened to the phone and why not release his video? 2 days ago:
What do you need to see on the phone? We already know what happened. It was filmed from multiple angles.

Subculture or not it sounds like you just met some friends.
- Comment on If the color of the Sun was orange, wouldn't the clouds and everything white also be orange? My friend is adamant that 30 years ago the "real" Sun was orange but got replaced with a white LED. 5 days ago:
I stand by my previous statement. They are either trolling you or complete idiots.

- Comment on Sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that! PCs refuse to shut down after Microsoft patch 1 week ago:
Or any of the other “easy” distros. To be honest… The “gaming” distros have been just as easy as mint to me. Cachy, bazzite, and to a lesser degree nobara (points knocked off for giving me grief after an update) have all been very easy and stable.
I think people get scared because everyone says you need to use command line in Linux. That’s not really true any more than it is in Windows. There are certain things that are easier with command line or other things that might need to be done there, but it’s easier and faster to look up what those things are than navigating the purposefully buried settings in Windows and everything basic can be done in gui anyhow. You can get as technical as you want in Linux.
The hardest thing for me about switching was finding comparable programs that I was used to. It takes time to find THE BEST PDF EDITOR or anything else on a new OS.

- Comment on I spent a year on Linux and forgot to miss Windows 1 week ago:
I came across this the other day but haven’t had a chance to use it. Hopefully this saves someone a lot of time installing programs.

I do this too. IPA is great (beer and chemical) but soap and hot water work best for me

I get the appeal of a lightweight device but i personally like a little weight as long as it is heavy because it _b … I just woke up and realized I fell asleep typing my comment. I literally bored myself to sleep.

Linux has come a long way though and it’s basically turn key for some distros. Even with flatpak or system catalogs built into the gui.

This is where the Linux and self hosting people chime in.

Sounds like your mom was eating marbles. Or maybe… She had to have her stomach pumped because she was trying to overdose. Occam’s razor
- Comment on Microsoft wants to replace its entire C and C++ codebase, perhaps by 2030 4 weeks ago:
I was about to say that surely it’s not just 1 person they are talking about. I read, "Our North Star is ‘1 engineer, 1 month, 1 million lines of code.’”
- Comment on Where do you guys buy your 3D print and such at? 5 weeks ago:
There’s also onshape which has a free tier (your files are public) and it’s web based so you can model on any platform. Or fusion 360 which comes from an annoying company but fine for little things. I’ve been using onshape for little things lately. I
don’t think I’d recommend blender to a newbie. It’s more involved and really takes time to learn. Similar for free CAD. I love the idea but it’s really clunky to use.
The best (imo) modeling software has a simple workflow with easy to find tools. Create a sketch, extrude that sketch, then do it again if needed, add holes etc…
- Comment on Where do you guys buy your 3D print and such at? 5 weeks ago:
I just model nearly everything I print. The one time I purchased was from cults3d. I’m sure printable or anywhere else is fine too. Most of the paid ones just have better pictures but some are great designs imo

That’s just about all I need. Vpn + privacy browser is as much effort as I’m willing to put in. Beyond that it gets really frustrating.

I think it might be a retroid pocket mini. Here’s a list of reviews on these little handheld guys I found in my hunt that might be helpful.

Pouring resources into it… Doesn’t almost every other os/distro have this option?

I just picked it up on a steam sale. Excited to try it out again. Played it a little a long time ago but didn’t know what to do. Apparently it’s gotten a lot better and I love space stuff
- Comment on HDD prices spike as AI infrastructure and China's PC push collide — hard drives record biggest price increase in eight quarters, suppliers warn pressure will continue 1 month ago:
eBay helps too. I picked up 16gb of ddr4 ram for someone the other day for $40 and got myself a cpu cooler for my build for $60 less than brand new. It was just open box so basically new. Takes patience but there are still deals to be found out there.

I just built an am4 machine from mostly old parts I had kicking around. Was happy I went a little to crazy a few years ago. No way I’d of been able to do it with prices now
- Comment on It's quite impressive that most English speakers across the world understand each other, despite variations in accents/dialects 1 month ago:
Speak for yourself! I’m horrible at overcoming accents that aren’t from my zone.
