Just know that English sucks. My coworkers, from many other countries, are baffled that their kids have spelling lessons here. In their language the letter is the sound always, and there aren’t things like: doubling letters, silent e and the multitude of pronunciations for ough (rough, though, thought).

Our brains haven’t evolved with the times. We get stuck on situations of perceived failure, a left over trait to aid in survival so you are prepared for next time. Your brain is taking it as wrong doing and thus shame of letting you ancient village tribe down.

It is easy to say this, and harder to make the mental shift; but you have to find a method to let these things slide. Like a way this laugh them off or IDGAF attitude. We judge ourselves harsher than any other person, once you get to a place where you don’t care about judgement from others, all the worry about a flub diminishes.

There are some. COCKPIT would probably suit most people. OpenSUSE has a GUI Services tool built into YAST

Cool. I have been using the built in YAST2 GUI services on OpenSUSE. But for other machines COCKPIT webgui uses systems to view and manage services.

There was an android app that monitored your breathing and motion when the phone is placed next to you on the bed. It claimed to wake you when you were in the right sleep cycle to wake up clear. I tried it as an alarm clock replacement and it seemed to work…but it was years ago and I forget the app name

Didn’t he star in “How I Met Your Brother”

The “pressuring suicide n them” is not factual stats. It is misinformation. Of course you will have an outlier doctor who gives terrible advice, but doctors will do their best for treatment (physical/mental) to help people. A dying patient with severe pain was always given palletive care options, and now there is an extra option. My friends dad had incurable cancer, and constant suffering, and given a month at most. He asks for MAID because he said why would I want 4 weeks more pain/suffering when I can choose my own ending.

I believe I read schooling there is free, so more doctors per capita is not limited by how rich your family is

People at a store ask if I want the senior discount…hurumph rude! LOL

Doing an oil change, rotor and brake pad change in same day, means my back and legs are sore for a few days after

But you can install older versions , or choose when you update

TV I agree, my LG updated and now streaming video is broken.

For android phone GrapheneOS.

I haven’t found Linux to be fragile. I think that is distro dependent.

I’m on same OpenSUSE (with version upgrades) since 2017. Every update has been fine, only time it was an issue is when nVidia driver got ahead of the kernel for a few days. But OpenSUSE you just choose the previous snapshot.

My wife’s laptops is NixOS for maybe 3 years now, no issues.

GNOME puts it right in your face as a dialog message…but yeah people will ignore it

The funny thing is they have enough money to not kiss anyones ass for their rest of their life

Yeah too bad, they should have hilighted that on GNOME DE with OpenSUSE it prompts you that updates are available and you hit OK or cancel. KDE might have something similar.

pwd even when the bash prompt tells me where I am

Story of a friendship going sour and one guy having trouble moving on. Some great acting. A dark comedy. Quite refreshing from the Hollywood schlock that is typically in our local thestre

Seems odd. Like going to all that trouble then not ditching all the evidence, unless he had other targets he was working on next.

Thanks, that’s a great write up

I guess in my case the batteries may have had enough to signal they were functional, but they were effectively dead and had no UPS backup sustaining power. One battery had started to buldge its container. I can see it as being an as designed feature, that way they never let you down in a powerfailure event, as you get advanced notice that the battery is no longer working LOL. Had a corporation go down a few years ago, they had not replaced UPS batteries, when power wentout all UPS batteries were dead and couldn’t sustain the servers until backup generator came online.

My CyberPower is 14 years old now still working fine, just needed battery swap at 10 year mark.
