Well, your post says otherwise.
You have the intent to do actions that could impact the housing/land market.
BUT you noted that people can’t live on agricultural land where you are at just now. so that makes a big difference, and had you of made that clear your post might have been a little bit more well received.
So I think that is an interesting idea but you are still going against the grain there.
There are many people here that are very against the exact thing you are trying to do, so the reddit quip you made is kinda backwards lol.

Please no.
This is already a big problem we have with the world today, people trying to make money from land and housing. We need less people doing shit like this. Causing housing market issues just to make money.
Also, it might backfire on you. More “clutter” is more work/cost for a prospective buyer. You would need to be restrictive to buyers that specifically want your style, which could put you in a position of discrimination.
You could say, “but I’m only one person, it’s not going to make a difference” not thinking about the millions of other people out there doing the same thing. Don’t do this, just sell it and move on if you’re going to sell it.

Lol, we fucked up by saying we were dropping fact checking now we are going to fire a bunch of you to try to make up for the lost revenue.

Well I hope Ms Allen can untwist her knickers and realize what she is asking is stupid as fuck and not harmful to animals in any capacity.
Not that I agree with PETA anyway but this does not help animals in the slightest. It’s a waste of funds that could be better spent elsewhere to actually benefit animals.
- Comment on Any recommendations for a low-cost, low-hassle printer? 2 months ago:
The P1S by Bambu Labs, while not the cheapest (on sale now for 550$ without an ams) pretty much just works.
I’ve done PLA and PETG (various brands) using default settings and the thing just works. I’ve also used polycarbonate but that required a small amount of tweaking.
I guess it also depends on what you’re trying to print. If you are going to be printing figurines that you will paint, you might be better off getting a resin printer, though I can’t speak much to those as I haven’t used them, but we do use anycubic at work and I’ve seen some pretty good looking models come out of them.
I’ve also heard good things about the A1/A1 mini (also Bambu) from coworkers.
We probably have 30 or so 3D printers at work including a nylon powder 3D printer which is amazing but I’m not sure of the brand, and it’s probably expensive because it stands about 4.5 ft tall.

I’ve had that same issue before.
Thank you for fixing it!

- Comment on 'It even breaks my heart a bit': Denuvo pushes back on its haters, says Steam forums are a 'very toxic, very hostile environment' 3 months ago:
They are trying to “save face” by shit talking while refusing to show any true evidence that their product does not impact performance.
People are tired of it so they stop buying games that have Denuvo. Denuvo needs to look like a sound investment, but it’s bleeding out because it really isn’t, and companies are likely losing more than they are actually gaining via sales because of Denuvo, thus some companies are distancing themselves and Denuvo is losing money.

I just downloaded rufus and a mint iso, here’s a couple screen grabs.
Launch rufus, and plug in your usb stick, it should show up under device.
From there click select on the right side. Browse to where you have the ISO you got from the linux mint website and select it.
Once you get back to the other screen hit start.
You shouldn’t need to mess with any settings unless you are using secure boot.
Once that’s done, you should restart and boot from the USB stick. Depending on the model of your laptop there are different methods to get into the bios to change the settings to allow booting from usb. If it goes into grub mode it will look like a command prompt with a few selections. Just hit enter on the first option and it will boot into the live usb.
Once you are in the live usb mode, it’s basically all gui to install, test, etc.
Nowadays the terminal stuff is not really needed for basic use, so you should be able to get spun up pretty easy.

The process is actually simple.
It can be a little daunting at first because it’s new, but don’t let that discourage you. You can mostly ignore the whole mirrors thing, just pick one that is geographically close to you to hopefully get a better download speed. Outside of that, all the mirrors lead to the same file just in a different physical location.
Installing another software to make a bootable drive. You can use Rufus, which has a portable version so there’s no need to install it. I put a link below, there’s one in the downloads list that says portable.
There are plenty of step by step tutorials out there, however since Linux is very open, a lot of guides may give different advice and knowing what to/not to do can feel confusing. (For instance, if you have an SSD in your computer, you really shouldn’t use a swap partition unless you absolutely have to due to limited RAM.) In most cases though you can get by with the defaults when installing something like mint.
That being said. You could simply make the boot stick and try out the live version of the OS before committing to wiping any of your drives to install the OS. Just know that running the live version from the boot stick will be slow, it may take a little time for things to boot which is normal since you are running the os off of a USB stick.
If you would like some help I could try to give you some guidance. I would just want to know the specs/model of your computer so I can make sure I lead you in the right direction.
