Recall is just a piece that sped up my transition (I have Pro, so Copilot is less of a problem for me). The final nail in the coffin was having to deal with a driver-update-checker that randomly uses 70% processor to do things like check for updates and send telemetry to Intel.
On Linux, I just have to run the usual update command, and it will be updated there, without sending gobs of telemetry to Fuckifiknow.

“Syrup,” indeed though I’ve never seen someone use a honey dipper for syrup.

I see a broken nose in there.

- Comment on YSK there is a condition that makes your armpits smell worse called trichobacteriosis that is common and easy to treat 2 months ago:
It’s crazy that we have so many good, symbiotic critters living in and on us.

Hey now. I got an insulated tumbler
that can’t do hot liquids, can’t go in the dishwasher, and cost $6 to buy in bulk. - Comment on Millennials are old now? 4 months ago:
I guess I just mean that it has a particular sound. 80s is maybe too late, I agree, but there was some overlap.
- Comment on Millennials are old now? 4 months ago:
I take umbrage at them being called “classic rock.” Classic rock is, to me, a specific genre of rock music from the 60s–80s, and it has a particular style and sound.
Throwing Green Day and Linkin Park in with the Eagles and Fleetwood Mac just makes the word “classic” meaningless.

I feel like I did on a handful of games, but it’s been a hot minute since I owned a GameCube, so who knows?
- Comment on YSK: Your local library's resources. Many offer free e-books and audio books via apps like Hoopla and Libby, resume writing classes, movies, games...and a quiet place to relax of course 4 months ago:
Public libraries are the best. Also, if your local library is very small, see if they’re part of a larger network that affords you extra resources or a bigger catalog. See if the nearest large metro city has eCards to check out digital materials; I have one that costs me a paltry $22/yr and gives me access to tens of thousands of ebooks/audiobooks and Hoopla, Kanopy, and free online classes (e.g. How to Cook Healthy, How to Become a Master Gardener, etc.).
The value of public libraries cannot be understated.

No matter how long you’ve been on the Internet, there’s always more to learn.

Well, if you’re going to do OMAD, seems like a tasty way to do it!

If it’s 5/7, is it really perfect…? 🤔
Also, I’m sure it’s delicious, but I couldn’t stop thinking about the calories. This must be half a day’s calories in one delicious meal!
- Comment on YSK that chiropractors are not medical doctors and "Systematic reviews... have found no evidence that chiropractic manipulation is effective" 6 months ago:
This is a great point. My MiL is a chiropractor (a non-quacky one), and she incorporated a lot of PT into her practice. Additionally, I read a couple years ago that PTs are beginning to incorporate the good things from chiro (whatever they are. I’m not a doctor) into their own practice.
A roundabout way of saying that we learned some things from chiro, but PT was always the future.
- Comment on Smartphone sales down 22 percent in Q2, the worst performance in a decade 8 months ago:
I’ve actually considered getting a small 11" netbook, putting Linux on it, and using it wherever a tablet would often be used.
I still have my gaming desktop, but I don’t need all that power to play movies on a plane, connect to ODB II, or read woodworking plans in the shop.
