That is absolutely true, but in case of military transports, you'll notice that the vast majority are 4 engine. It has to do with survivability.

manifest only applies to extensions. Vivaldi's adblocker is built in.

Blades dull noticeably after three uses. They are cheap, and you are going for a premium experience. Why skimp? Also, it's good practice to flip them each shave.

Unless there is a hard limitation with the back panel, a body shop can probably mount the seat rails a few cm further back.

John Fitzgerald Cennedy? Jentucky Fried Chicken?

True, but one of the better options.

I use some Flatpaks. Flatpaks sometimes create problems with paths and permissions and stuff. They are generally useful, as are appimages when created by the author(s), but are not a panacea. Also, there are flatpaks not created by the official source.

Reading the reply above I realized half my post is redundant :)

Cachy's new package manager, Shelly, which is awesome, BTW (writing about arch or derivatives without using BTW is against the law, remember.) does checks on AUR packages when installing or updating. Zoey rocks!

Meanwhile, central Spain, which is usually hot AF in the summer, but dry, thankfully, has a forecast of mid to low 30's next week. We'll get a few 40+ during the summer, but it's expected, and most people know how to deal with it. There are a few deaths every summer, but it's generally elders who don't realize they are dehydrating.

I don't do long strokes. I do many small (1cm or less) strokes, overlapping. Trying to shave like you would with one of those 26 blade monstrosities doesn't yield good results. Also, I shave twice. wet lather, shave, rinse, lather, shave. Water is your friend. It's called wet shaving for a reason. I never, ever use canned foam. People seem to like to use bowls and stuff to lather. I like to use cream, La Toja or LEA. Spread cream on wet face, and lather in place until the texture of whipped cream, I never go against the grain, always down or sideways. Also, stretch the area with your fingers, so that skin is taut. If possible I shave after showering. My go to blades are Feather, Astra, and Shark.

weight loss drugs? How about having a fucking decent diet. I mean, the whole "I need drugs to reach a healthy weight because I eat like shit" is really moronic.

Brave is bullshit Malware.

Use Vivaldi.

Made by the people who made the original Opera.

Hyper customizable, ad, tracking, and pop-up blocker by default.

I've been a Firefox user since the days of mosaic. I used the original Opera for years, coming back to FF when Opera was bought by the Chinese. While I still have FF as my main browser, I'm now finding myself using Vivaldi about 50% of the time. Damn good.

I seem to remeber that the Amyloid plaques are now considered caused by whatever causes Alzheimers, but are not the cause.

Yeah, very rarely do tradespeople get rich, but most I know live very, very comfortably, don't have insane hours or overtime, unless they provide emergency services, which usually pay insanely by the hour, have absolute job security. One of my son's buddies is an Electrical engineer. He quit his job at a corpo, took the certification exam, and became an electrician. Makes way more that as an engineer, and has much higher QOL.

Yes, I did, I was just rolling out delivery, and weather Covid quite well, but I realized I wasn't cut out for that type of business. I was fun for a while, made good money, but it became a rut. I'm a serial entrepreneur (ADHD), so I keep jumping.

I can understand that.

I'm an early Xer, and my mom an early boomer. She's been a computer user since the late 70s. Right now, She does all these things, install a bajillion apps for things like the BBC and 10 other news services even though I have explained to her that she could have them all as bookmarks in FF, with ad and tracker blocking, etc.

She understands it. She does, but at her age she can't be arsed to open a website, bookmark it, then go to bookmarks, etc. I've even tried to get her to turn things into PWAs, which she gets ! But can't be arsed.

I'm an IT guy, the eternal tech support for friends and family. Now my eldest son is an analyst at a major telco, and I send him all the traffic, and sometimes even ask him to do or figure out stuff for me, because I can't be arsed. Same reasons I've been on Mint for a few years, until I discovered CachyOS. I started my Linux journey in Slackware, painfully downloaded as diskette images, and have been distro hopping all my life, using all major distros at one time or another. Now I can't be arsed.

Im still a tinkerer, a maker, homelabber, etc. but the mundane, I can't be arsed.

I owned a small resto/bar in Spain. My employee's minimum wage was dictated by a sectorial collective bargaining agreement. I had to pay them at least that amount, altough I could pay more for especially good/experienced workers. The base salary was almost 3 times minimum wage. On top of that I paid almost 50% of their salary to the social security system, which covers retirement and health system contributions ( the country has full universal care). Tips are customary, but in the 5 to 10% range, but never required. No server would dream of making an issue for not getting a tip. tips are a thank you, not an obligation.

What are these posts? Used to see them all the time in Reddit. Some kind of encoded message?

I installed 2021 for a client last year, because of the pay once model. I guess I should have installed 2024. This guy was using some really ancient version, and is really tech illiterate, the kind that writes procedures in a notebook, instead of learning why he does them. I installed LO first, to see if he could use it and be free of Office, but he got really nervous, so I got him the closest thing to what he had. Now I have to find out a way to resolve this. I guess I'll get a key from one of the key sitees, or do a massgrave. Thanks MS.
