  I’ve tasted cucumber water and can definitely taste the cucumber (I also drink unsweetened seltzers). I wonder why theirs isn’t working.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Guy Claiming That You Have TDS⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Some do until they don’t. I was a pretty devout convinced JW into my 30s, with the few doubts I had (I never hated gay people, but still bought the “it’s not a sin to be gay, it’s a sin to act on it” line) being suppressed by my assuming God knew better than me or that since God made the earth he gets to make the rules.

  I also enjoyed science but kept brainwashing myself to allow for science and the creation belief (not young earth, maybe dinosaurs were just a preparatory stage, maybe God guided evolution, etc), but eventually a joke on Futurama mocked the moving goalposts of missing link arguments and it kinda broke the floodgates.

  This man is experiencing personal issues that affect him directly, which makes it harder to rationalize away. It’s how some people leave stuff like religion: a bad thing happens to them personally and God in no way helps, so the doubts start breaking through the stubbornness.

  I do have an edge there as I’m actually pretty technically inclined (I do tech support for living, and at the risk of sounding like touting my own horn, I’m high up the escalation path for my company). So partitions and stuff are common things I work with, and this isn’t nearly my first brush with Linux. It’s just more getting games and a bunch of small unique software working is somewhat different from working with business servers where you have either stricter policies on what gets installed or vendor backup if necessary.

  Still, much of my actual work involves solving issues by looking up errors and symptoms, so figuring out the issues here aren’t that hard for me either. While I do appreciate the GUI making it an easy switch from Windows, I’m no stranger to CLI either and feel quite comfortable using it, and documentation for a lot of what I’ve messed with so far has been pretty easy to find and follow.

  As for my plans, I’ll probably eventually limit NTFS to one 1tb drive, or maybe do what you said and repetition it down to maybe 500gb, and hopefully most of what I do will be in Linux. I am the type to force myself to learn by force, so I haven’t actually booted back into Windows except for an issue where I couldn’t delete the NTFS partition from Linux. And I’ll probably hardly boot into Windows going forward either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I joined that group today, but it wasn’t necessarily this support thing. I hated Windows update most of the time anyway. Mostly I just needed to buy a new SSD so I could dual boot, which will allow me to transition at my own pace while getting comfortable. I bought a cheap 500gb Saturday.

  The other issue is my version of decision paralysis on choosing a distro, which generally is paralysis up until I suddenly just bite the bullet. I went with Nobara since it looked easiest to support my hardware and get into my games quickly.

  So far I’ve gotten FFXIV, Warframe, and Enshouded running the way I want, and am slowly downloading my other current games. I have to keep a 200mpbs download limit because I’m working too. I also wiped one of my 2tb drives that mostly had games I was planning to play soon or just started playing to make it exFAT. I’ll probably eventually convert the others but may need to buy another 2tb drive for transfers if needed.

  There are 3 colors on the avocado parts, a deeper green, a lighter yellowish green, and a light brownish part, which is consistent with avocado cuts and oxidization.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨sushi delivery⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Definitely avocado; cucumber doesn’t have that color gradient but avocados do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Go Green⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m definitely not an expert, but I thought the biggest issue with baked edibles were the temps you cooked them at might degrade THC. Isn’t it impossible to get the dough crispy at temps THC stays stable at?

  Ok… Plate techtonics were widely accepted in the late 1960s according to my search, which is exactly what the previous comic claims (make sure to read the image text).

  What did he get wrong?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo's Creature Capture Patent Dealt Blow Amid Palworld Lawsuit⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The decision mentions ARK, which has always been one of my arguments. It’s a survival builder with Dinos, but almost every creature is capturable/tamable in some way or another, aside from some bosses/special enemies. Ark has been around a while, and even added a stored in a ball like element years back, but it probably doesn’t exactly come to mind as a catch em all game for most people.

  My first two cars were manuals, and I enjoy manuals (drive an EV now so no choice there) but this post reeks of acting like doing so makes us special. It doesn’t. We just learned a different skill, and almost anyone can learn it if they chose to and especially if they enjoy it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CNC⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m trying to think of the meaning you guys are saying, because for me it keeps making think of Computer Based Training, though I think that acronym fell out of use a decade ago.

  Wait, I thought a sec and now I know exactly what it means. Oof ow my balls.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fictional⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it means the instead that we made up measurements to measure the speed of light, but the God in this meme doesn’t use manmade measurements, so it’s just 1 (like 1c). Since the speed of light is the max theoretical speed of anything in the universe, it makes sense that anything else could be measured in fractions of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mom they're fighting again⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They exist in FL and I’ve climbed trees to get em. I like em when they’re yellow. Delicious coconut water and basically a coconut “jelly” lining. I also lived in the Caribbean my early life (2-7) so had a lot down there too, plus fresh sugarcane, guava, mangoes, and a thing we called a plum but was a small tree fruit that I also loved yellow ripeness. After a quick Google evidently called a June Plum or a hog plum. Used to eat em straight from the tree.

  Eh, the only thing I dislike is the olives, and I’ve picked em off before. Sounds tasty.

  I am up voting both your comment and the pizza crimes one, because in practice I agree with you (and personally like pineapple but hate pepperoni, sausage, and olives) I do enjoy faux rage about it too.

  Hmm, I don’t recall ever doing age verification for Discord. Were older accounts grandfather’d in, or is it currently limited by region or something?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nothing to see here. Just a pine cone.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think there might be some anthropomorphism affecting the opinion, and I know a lot of people dislike "raising someone else’s children ", especially unknowingly.

  In humans, this mostly happens to men just due to biology, but I’m sure some women have experienced swapped kids.

  It’s not like those animals are betraying defined social constructs while knowing better, so i agree with you more on this, but that would be my best guess for someone reacting so emotionally to it.

  (Also there’s far worse things to use for the “no god” argument, like cancer and numerous other vicious diseases or syndromes)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As others mentioned, “gang violence” is generally a euphemism for non white, especially poor, people. I used to listen to Knowledge Fight(stopped after election not because of the boys, but didn’t want to hear Jones gloat) and during several shootings that involved black victims Jones dismissed it as gang violence.

  One case I recall was a shooting in a school in GA that he was spinning some other way, until he found out the school was primarily black and the victim (who survived iirc) was black. He then just stated the kid was in a gang with no proof and dismissed the story.

  Second, they loved about 10 million years apart.

  But people say love can overcome anything, what’s a mere 10m years?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨choice⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, as I was writing it I thought the same thing. If not density though, then what do you measure as the… object itself? Since the prevailing theories are that black holes are either infinitely dense in a singularity, or that some are gravistars, we’d either turn an infinitely small dot into poop, or we’d turn something large enough for the poop to be dense enough anyway, so it may just shrink the blackhole.

  Second point also works if using Schwarzschild radius or Kerr metric instead of a gravistar.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨choice⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Due to the nature of physics, and black hole made of poo would be the same black hole.

  It’s like a question Randall got, how much water would it take to extinguish the sun? Answer of course being adding water or ice to the sun will only make it hotter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WATER!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I definitely often say water, usually because of the way it’s asked, usually something like “What would you like to drink today?”

  So it’s usually just “water” or “I’ll have water” or whatever drink in response. Glass of water sounds odd in response to me, especially since sometimes it’s green tea which usually wouldn’t come in a glass. Or coffee, etc
