If your SO is considerate as it sounds, not all that tp goes to wiping, just saying.

Just like falling off a roof, the fall is fine cause it doesn’t hurt, it’s the sudden stop at the end. This would shorten the life of the device, newer models slowed down saving the hardware undue stress. It was fun to hear the fast rewind then the slowdown, I can still hear it
- Comment on Interesting 6 days ago:
Yes, they were big for a while, save your vcr the sudden stop at the end of rewinding, newer vcrs made these not necessary as they would slow down before the beginning of the tape.
- Comment on Trying to dualboot Linux Mint + Windows on a second external hard drive but Windows Setup doesn't let me install on the disk... 2 weeks ago:
Searches for a SATA cable, cries in multiple m.2
I was concerned about win 10 killing my linux boot loader on my old system, so I installed linux on another drive and would pick from boot menu which drive to load (for some reason my efi wouldn’t let me boot from the sata ssd automatically but windows had a drive in both m.2 slots, I have a new system and don’t worry bout windows messing me up as there is no windows on this machine

Did you know ants can tell something is off when you apply a colour dot to their face, they will try to remove it

They KNOW why “YOU” use incognito lol “whet”
Royal you, not YOU you
- Comment on Thanks, Google. Very cool. 1 month ago:
lol, I keep trying to explain this. Incognito only removes your local browsing so your mate doesn’t see what you were planning to get them, or the porn you prefer to watch. It does not hide from websites or ISPs etc. Not even sure how well it does that.
Neat little typo there though “whet”, is THAT what you were up to? lol
- Comment on Grammar Nazis... 1 month ago:
English has a hard enough time being exact as it is, so I do agree with your statement.
I doubt it is the fact they are corrected(using my perspective as I do not know this person), rather HOW they are corrected. Sometimes I see someone correct another using good natured wit and humour, being polite, and the target of said criticism takes it well and learns, other times they are quite unfriendly and harsh. I don’t mind correction that is polite, I will absolutely ignore the advice if rendered harshly and condescendingly.
This goes for other situations as well, not gonna go into them as several are landmines, but the approach to correction needs to be more friendly than aggressive.

and you need to know grammar to use a grammar checker. My paper in uni I decided to just hit corels gramatik and accept all changes (did it a few times just for funsies) that paper went from above acceptable to an atrocious mess in no time
- Comment on God did not intend for us to fold fitted sheets, and if you can it's witchcraft. 3 months ago:
Been folding double and queen fitted sheets for a few decades, it is not really that hard.
- Pick a side (long or short)
- put the corners into each other, by folding in half (I like to put the “body” side of the sheets inside)
- put the 2 corners together (here you can put the sheet down to make the sides “nice” so they are square)
- fold in half until you can’t I usually get 3 folds (should be about as big as a towel folded in half 3 times on the shelf but taller)
Takes a few moments once you are proficient. All my sheets have had elastic on all sides

- Comment on I refuse to by a new mouse 5 months ago:
wow, almost as old as my (combined) Microsoft trackball, that is about 26 yrs old. Where yours has a bald spot from your finget, my trackball has lost ALL texture, so smooth a slightly sweaty hand slides easily. I have no idea how many hours it has been (ab)used for, I was unemployed when I got it and spent most of the day on IRC and playing games, good times. Haven’t found a decent replacement yet, I think my time is running out

- Comment on Informative review 5 months ago:
Personally not a fan (don’t like the taste of teas), but many I know are. Order a basic one the first time however it says on the board, ask for a suggestion saying you never tried this before, ask any other questions you have they will generally answer, like “What do other people do with/put in this” you will either love it or feel you wasted money. Either way it will be a new experience. Oh, don’t worry about what others think of your choices (so long as you are not hurting anyone that is) you do you and enjoy, purists will just bring you down

- Comment on 7 years later, Valve's Proton has been an incredible game-changer for Linux 5 months ago:
The Foss drivers work for most things, you need the official drivers as they have the DRM (or whatever it is that gives screen priority to the headset) set correctly for VR, from what I read about setting up VR but that info could be out of date now. My next card will be amd least I’m running a ryzen 7
- Comment on 7 years later, Valve's Proton has been an incredible game-changer for Linux 5 months ago:
I don’t know about the upstream stuff but to get certain games running you had to contact them to make the game work for you, nothing like Proton today. I did support them for about a year or so as I wanted to encourage more gaming compatibility.
I never ran Arch, but did run a gauntlet of distros like RHEL5, Fedora, Fedora Core, Mandrake, Mandriva, Debian, Ubuntu, and prolly a few more I’ve forgotten. At the time, yeah, video drivers were a mess for gaming, most of the time the drivers did install for both ATI and Nvidia on my machines but they were never bleeding edge so they had a lot of time to get well working instruction sets, Nvidia is still a pain(cause the smart people can’t fix the issues Nvidia won’t) and thats the vid card I have atm 4070ti super, shoulda gone AMD instead. My only issue with linux now is the VR part of it(thankfully Proton are still working on it and there is a better desktop access program that actually lets you control the desktop), the games do not run as well as under windows so I will most likely have to retain a windows partition for the games that do not work well under linux(all of the flat games I have installed work as well as under windows and if I don’t look at the task bar I forget which os I am using), but all that glorious storage will be moving under linux by end of 10.
