  Awesome, thanks. I’ll have to check into that.

  Is this something I could move existing hue lights and various ac outlets to?

  As an USAmerican. The absolute travesty that we sell in the grocery store is one of the worst crimes against humanity.

  I want to live in world where we’re all walking distance from a bakery that makes real bread daily.

  Lord of the Flies was also a direct answer to a book that was really popular during England’s colonial hey day(?) called the Island, I think.

  Basically, English colonial culture wasn’t as good as we might have thought.

  I’ve installed mint, pop os and Ubuntu. TBH if it’s a spare, just download one and give it a go.

  I really just play games and use a browser, so it’s been easy peasy for me. Look into making a partition for /home if you feel like you’ll swap around it makes it pretty easy. Then you can try a few out without too much of an issue.

  I don’t think you are. I’m pretty sure the default would be a cheaper alternative to beeswax.

  I don’t guess they don’t have to list the ingredients though, so it would be hard to know it was vegan.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This man is suffering⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That was brilliant. I thoroughly enjoyed that.

  It reminded me I f my own faithful trip to hooters with a friend and his father.

  I don’t think I know what was going on there, but I did feel like it was super awkward because they were talking about the waitress like she wasn’t there.

  I mostly remember the wings we had were not very good.

  Wings should not be battered with cornmeal. Though I don’t eat that much meat anymore.

  I’m not sure that I remember an internet w/o this image. I’ve just spent the last ten minutes, or so, contemplating the image’s age.

  I’m no memologist, but I’m going to say this picture must be mid to late 1990’s

  One of my most unfortunate thoughts is that people were as excited about radio and television before they were centralized.

  Once we lost synchronous internet connection the internet started evolving.

  Content currated by our betters to help us fulfill their lives.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Someone else will retire me when the time comes.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. … A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. … But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.

  This was the Captain Samuel Vimes ‘Boots’ theory of socio-economic unfairness.
