"I'm socially liberal but fiscally conservative" - What do you think when you hear that?
I used to say this. And I believed it. It’s a lie people tell themselves because they’re voting for terrible things and don’t want to take credit for half of it.

Is there a federated or open source search engine alternative?
This probably doesn’t help immediately, but I’ve been working on a platform that does federated search (among other things) for the last year. It’s in private friends-and-family testing and won’t be available for general use for at least a couple more months.
I haven’t even decided on a name yet, but I promise to make a lot of noise about it once it’s in public beta

I want to move out from Ubuntu and use something else.
I just went through this. LMDE: Linux Mint Debian Edition. It’s Mint without Ubuntu and it’s pretty great.

Zoomers & Boomers are the same
Gen X checking in here. I’m actually happy to be left out of the memes. Carry on.

Coffee sometimes diminishes in how well it works for me, and I end up drinking so much that I have panic attacks.
If it’s not neuroreceptor damage from the SSRIs, it might just be time for a tolerance break.

When talking to yourself, do you use the pronoun 'I' or 'you'?
“We”. Not sure why. I guess it’s me and the person I’m talking to (who is also me)

Stringing/Oozing Problem
I just got finished fixing some weird oozing problems. All the settings I tweaked, the best I could get still had stringing and blobbing at the end of every layer.
Turned out my hotend had fragments of bowden tube clogging it. I don’t know how, but assume I had the heat cranked too high at some point. There’s no real cleaning that out, and I ended up replacing the entire hotend.
I also had a clog or damage or something causing heavy resistance in the pull-tube going from my spool to the extruder. Replaced that too and everything is printing beautifully again.

My experience with Discord on Linux

Came here to say this. I was dealing with constant required .deb downloads and switched to flatpak. All the noise stopped.

What's your strat to counter this bs boss?

I honestly think two pair is one of the best strategies in this game. The first several times I won was using two pair and it took me forever to find anything as good

Which Linux to use for couch gaming setup including VR?
I used Ubuntu for years and snaps have driven me crazy. Recently I switched to LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition) and I really like it.

What's your strat to counter this bs boss?
I don’t have a lot of trouble with it. My strategy is usually full house or two pair without any focus on card in hand stuff like steel cards. I also lean pretty hard on face card strategy most of the time. All of that seems pretty immune to the hook

What's something you love the smell of?
Bromine. It’s what they treat the water with on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland, and the smell puts my mind on vacation

I mean that’s what “Generation X” means. We were forgotten from the beginning, forced into the long shadow of the Baby Boomers.

How do you find meaning in life?
The purpose of life is not served by fretting about what its purpose is.
It’s a bit like sitting on a roller coaster rubbing your chin and wondering how to monetize the experience. Just put your hands up and scream. It’s nice.

Pets Sunday - how are they doing?
We have six new chickens that were all born on Valentine’s Day, and they just recently moved into the main coop with the other seven girls. Also added a cream legbar we named “Cheddar Gorgeous” who is a couple of weeks younger than the rest. We had to keep her separated because all the other young ones were bullying her, but now she gets along fine. She has a really great personality, runs up to say hello and loves to be picked up. The only one with as much personality as her is RuPaul, one of our ameraucanas, who shrieks and runs up to say hello too.
Wednesday, another ameraucana, got broody yesterday but we did the tough-love thing and stuck her in a dog crate most of the day. She’s ok now.
We’re trying to name the other new hens but we’re not great at telling some of them apart because there are two or three of each type.

Those of you that back your vehicle into parking spots, why do you do it?
One of our vehicles is a full-size pickup truck and in certain parking lots I have to find a spot on the outer edge and back in so it doesn’t stick out too much. It keeps inattentive drivers from gouging their cars on the trailer hitch. And if there’s anything interesting loaded in the back, it keeps it out of sight of curious persons with hand-wavy concepts of personal property.
Our other car is a little hatchback, and its reverse camera gets a good 180 degree view, far better than any driver pulling forward out of the space. I never park it backwards because I’m not silly.
