- Comment on An award-winning ESPN producer resigned after 24 years over the network's embrace of sports betting: “I’m not going to have blood on my hands.” 6 days ago:
I didn’t mind playing FF, but the heartbreak it provided each week wore me down over 20yrs. Won a couple of championships, but I also had rookie FF players win championships. Lots of luck involved. T’was a casual league, but one guy kept treating it like bloodsport so I decided to stop managing a couple years ago. With the inundation of gambling in the NFL I was so disgusted I gave it up altogether. I might tune in if someone else wants to but I’ve gained soooo much time back by not watching game after game. My fav team is even currently doing well, but I don’t really have any fucks to give either way. The owners have ruined the product through greed and avarice. Very apropo for this timeline.

Yah, I’m not a soup fan either. I’ll eat it, but as a last choice. Or if I am ill.
One holiday many years ago, I showed up for a quality holiday meal and the hostess served cold gazpacho. Worst holiday meal ever. Would not eat again.

Yah, tapas always seemed to me like appetizers whilst you drink. You’ve got to go get a proper meal after.

We know a few people that use this pithy phrase. I completely agree that the saying is sort of a cop-out. Accepting the situation (presumably), whatever it is, without seeking a better or more palatable solution. It isn’t always a serious issue, but certainly don’t capitulate if it is.

I forgot all about the “meat sweat” guys. That was fun back then. Oh, to be in simpler times again…

I would even suggest an actual pepper steak. If not, a bit of horseradish is sometimes nice too.

Cynic here. I love the sentiment, but without an effective societal rule change the battle for their wealth would be insane. Does each new billionaire drop dead too? That could work out….

The irony is that I just watched that movie (again after all these years) last week and missed the first part where this song is. I was just playing off the Candy Mnt part. lol Thanks for the reminder!

I am happy for you and don’t really care what OS you use. Sometimes the video driver is not all that is required to make games work. It is definitely not all that is required to further optimize a system for gaming. Especially on older hardware. How many clicks to do the stuff listed below? Still only two clicks on Cachy.
Copious amounts of other gaming/system config info on their wiki, but the gaming packages include:
Proton-CachyOS - based on Proton’s bleeding-edge branch and applies a number of modifications on top of it. - Steam has it listed for use.
Wine-staging patches/Wine Fullscreen FSR Includes video and audio codecs for game cutscenes Support for umu-launcher including UMU-Protonfixes Adds early hotfixes/workarounds for games Gaming related libraries
Tools - Gamescope, GOverlay, MangoHud Launchers - Steam, Heroic Games Launcher, Lutris, Faugus Launcher

Is it the same on Mint? It isn’t for me. On Cachy, the welcome screen has a pick for Apps/Tweaks, then “Install gaming packages”. That’s the difference.
Mint has a welcome screen, but it is very generic. Driver manager, software manager, etc. Sure you can install everything to make it work fine, but Cachy leads you straight into it with that one click and you are gaming within two minutes of OS load. Mint will take a bit longer. And I think it removes some of the package guesswork as well, especially for new users.
- Comment on Maybe it's time for Penguin 2 months ago:
I’d have to go parse through the script, though I’m certain someone else here already knows, but amongst other packages, proton, wine, steam and video drivers seem to be what it installs. I had to do all that manually on Mint and since it was my first Linux system I set up as a gamer I am sure I have some package versions set differently/incorrectly. Cachy takes the guesswork out of it.
I am olde and have been building gaming systems for many years. CachyOS is the easiest OS that I’ve ever set up. Am in a game playing within minutes. Even Windows was never so easy.
- Comment on Maybe it's time for Penguin 2 months ago:
You certainly can and I have several distros, but Cachy seems to be well suited with gaming. I am very sure I could tweak Mint to be comparable, but out of the box Cachy is a better gamer. One or two clicks and it’s all set.

There was a study a long time back (maybe at MIT) that tested tinfoil hats and various signals. The signal strength was intensified by the hat.

Ironically, I just learned that just a few weeks ago when updating my library. Have not had time to watch, but did wonder about the quality compared to the first. Thanks!
