another goodbrief

Definitely use the photo, can't tell worth shit what the texture of the dessert was in the first example.

The blueprint style is cool in the first and second examples; third has too much negative space, text doesn't seem anchored. That can be fixed by adding a border around the whole frame or some horizontal rules. If you do go with the style in the first two, tighten up the ruling and margins on the text; pick an orientation and stick with it.

Great start, good concept, good luck!

Help me choose my 2nd (Dual boot) Linux distro on my PC as a Linux beginner

Might just be my old experience (happy to learn otherwise) but dual booting ended up with more of a painful experience than not. When Windows would update, it would fuck my grub up and cause issues booting into Linux and Windows. You can fix it (most of the time) but expect to do it rather often; especially unpleasant as a beginner.

I know there's issues with GPU passthrough on vms but IDK if dual booting is the moves unless they seriously improved the experience in the last couple years.

Anti-ICE protest draws massive crowd at South Portland facility, feds deploy tear gas

Yeah I was there. About 200 feet from the main flash point.

There were quite a lot of people as we were marching from the park to the ice facility and starting packing in tighter. It was a miracle there was no trample situation; everyone was calm and shuffled away orderly even though we could not see nor breathe.

Couldn't be prouder of my city for doing it well.

Unfortunately I passed by many children, pets, and strollers during the march. I hope they are all doing well and I haven't stopped thinking about you all (including the little girl with the sign made with paper saying "I hate ICE"). Stay strong and safe you all!

You joke but my old FJ Cruiser requires you to turn the key to accessory, turn it off, turn the key back to accessory, open and close the door three times, turn the key back off, turn the key to accessory while holding the odometer reset button for 5 seconds and then it will enter pairing mode for the remote fob.

It made me feel the same joy as pressing the option on my Android phone 5 times to enter development mode back in the mid 2010s but it gets old quick.
