My man, I have been trying. Been trying to dual boot since I still need windows for work but I cannot for the life of me get Grub to work. It shows up in the install terminal, but after I reset it immediately disappears as a boot option from my and Linux. I've been racking my brain for days and no solution online works. The closest I got was getting to the Grub terminal, but it still couldn't boot into arch.
Meanwhile my laptop is dual booting with no problems whatsoever after doing basically the exact same thing. It doesn't make any sense
Fine, I'll be the guy. Sounds like grub-install isn't writing the configuration to the right place. My first check would be what grub config is being used, then work on replacing that with the one generated by grub-install.
That's what everyone was saying online but no solutions have worked. Since I can't boot into Arch I've been having to go through the install USB to get anything done so it's been super tedious. My next idea was going to try a different boot loader if I can't get it to work.
Well, I would start by booting from the GRUB command line. Using the install media can work to fix the system, but this is getting into chroot territory and there is no reason to believe the system isn't working. Just not booting. Much simpler to use the grub rescue terminal to force a boot, then run all of the grub goodness from there. Basically, if it boots from the disk in rescue it guarantees grub/efi is mounted where it needs to be, from there grub-install on its own should just work. Also, make sure the config you are feeding grub-install is set to output a boot option. When in doubt use the default config, it should work fine.
Gotten truly and utterly lost without a communication device. Especially powerful if you are in a foreign country where you don't speak the language and/or are alone. Nothing quite like it.
...had someone rifle balls at you, as hard as they can, off of a bat or racquet. Something about facing it down and letting your instinctual reactions take over is viscerally primal.
Ooh absolutely. The primal feelings of being attacked are truly a part of human existence that many people (thankfully) don't ever experience in their life.
Experienced certain death if you do not make a choice in seconds. Not, "My gosh! I might get punched in the face!" scared, I mean, "Figure this out or you're dying, right this instant."
It's nice to have a preview of your personal extinction, and it's really nice knowing you will do your best at that time.
tl;dr: Saved my own life twice, maybe three times.

Died. Otherwise you're still living.
Thanks, Dad.
installed archlinux
Ironically, my laptop has never truly died until I tried this. /s
Truly living life on the edge I can see

Been born.
Newborns always seem kind of unhappy about the transition, though.
I mean, yeah! They didn't sign up for this shit!
Stillbirth is the exception. I was about to comment "until you've had a pulse while breathing air".
.....left your home country and traveled the world.
The real trip is coming back home with new eyes
seen why kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch
It was a tragic day when I grew up and could no longer see why kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch
Buzz Aldrin went to the moon, and only then did he understand why kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
Go away
Dw I'm also guilty of several rickrolls ;-)
Brilliant

Ok that must truly have been an experience. I'd put it on the same level as being homeless (happened to me for a night).
Second moonraker elited a match of Goldeneye.
... until you have seen a subartic tundra lemmings' smile 😋
...taken a good dump

u ok?

Punched a Nazi.
Moments I have truly known I was alive:
Using the restroom after chopping chillies but before washing my hands
Hearing my boss say "Can I talk to you in my office...?"
Seeing the jerk who swerved around me doing three times the speed limit get stopped by a cop
Playing with a kitten I had just adopted
Eaten kraft dinner, with fancy ketchup
I don't have a million dollars so I cant afford Dijon ketchup :(
But Kraft Mac goes with franks red hot
had an ego death on psychedelics
travelled and lived abroad
had a near death experience
Absolutely
Stuck your dick in the macaroni salad at Publix
"If this gonna be that kinda party ima stick my stick in the mashed potatoes!"
Pooped with the bathroom door open.
This is just psycho behaviour 🤨
My dog needs to know I'm ok so I watch him poop and he watches me poop 🙃

You've fought past the fear and anxiety; then become so comfortable that you don't seem to remember that fear.
Been Birthed (edit been)
I was definitely on one end of that at some point
So (cis) men will never truly have lived? What about people who don't want children?
*been birthed
Had sex while skydiving with a Santa hat and crocks on
been homeless
cried?
visited the Golden Corral
