Combines ain’t that complex. But they are fussy to run. Growing up on a farm you learn to fix them at a pretty young age. I’ve even owned one myself, a well used Case I bought from an Uncle. I can close my eyes and "see’ every stinking moving part on any of the combines we owned. And I can still remember how access the parts and fix them.

Personally, I hate balers far more.

More like a failure as a sun. We should all point and laugh at Jupiter.

Every voice vote I’ve ever had the honor of participating in, Aye is the word we used. As in “All in favor say Aye. All against say Nay”

Yea, I can’t say that “yea” or “yeah” is a hill worth dying on these days. So yeah…That’s how I see it. (Anybody see my Oxford comma? I had it here somewhere)

As an old and now retired medic, once again EMS gets left out. Our caudecus is twin snakes with a pair of wings attached to the rod.

Some say the snakes tell you we are real, honest to god, professionally trained medical personnel. And not just an overpriced taxi service.

The wings indicate we will fly to your medical emergency as fast as we can. Because the louder you scream, the faster we come.

And the rod is the gear shift lever that tells how fast we can shift from ‘This ain’t nothin’ to ‘Oh shit we gotta go. We gotta go NOW’ And ‘Inject ALL the diesel’ modes.

And finally our motto: “I’m always willing to bet your life I can keep you alive long enough so you can die on some doctor and not me”

That’s a question that the C-Suite needs to answer for. But the point is, if those switches are installed -for whatever reason- they do need to work correctly. And if they do not, that’s an indication of a failing management.

If the installation of the circuit was done correctly in the first place, all 3 switches will turn the light on and off.

If they do not, there is a problem and it needs to be fixed. If you don’t fix the issue, you have a major underlying problem in your company. And you are not worth my time.

Light speed? No! Engage Ludicrous speed!

Does FreeDoom count? It’s as close to the original as I can get anymore.

Yep. Mine too. At this point it’s the best modern take on Gnome 2.

I spent years running Ubuntu. I’ve typed ‘sudo apt-get install’ so many times I got carpel fingernail from doing it. ‘sudo dnf install’ is less typing and could have saved my fingernails. Now I use Kinonite and have all updates set to automatic and I very seldom even need to do anything at all.

Yes, I’m old, lazy, and can’t be bothered anymore. Why do you ask? ;)

If you’re looking for the immutable Plasma experience, Kinonite IS the best choice. Bazzite, Aurora, and I think Zoran, are reliant on whatever their foundation distro is doing. Other than having some presets you might like, they offer little else.

But if you like one of them, more power to you, use it and enjoy!

My Cheap, Cheerful, Chinese mini desktop is running the Fedora Cinnamon spin. Works great! And Cinnamon is the best Gnome experience in existence anymore.

Absolutely nothing. If you’re vibin’ with Mint, 3 Huzzahs for you! If you get curious to try something else later, that’s great too!

It’s not the distro you use that matters in the story of Life, it’s the fact you use Linux that matters.

Not really. Beginners don’t know the difference.

Meh, flavor of the month.

At the most basic level, it’s still purity testing.

Lemmy is majority socialist and not communist. So as most liberals are, they are destined to hate on each other because neither side can pass the ‘purity tests’ each side cooks up.

Y’all deserve each other most of the time.

Reading the comments, it would seem most everyone here thinks that the usefulness of the steam is done when it gets used to turn a turbine at high pressure.

The steam can be used for much more than once. In the 1800’s and early 1900s when steam ran trains and ships, they built double and triple expansion engines that took the energy of the steam two and three times before it was done. It doesn’t need to be one and done. And when the energy is done being harvested for power generation, it can used for other things. Engineers today aren’t dumber than the ones in the 1800s.

I can remember a small rural Minnesota town that had their own coal fired electric plant. (Built back before the REA was a thing). They took the left over steam from power generation and then piped it to around 200 homes in the town and heated them with the leftover steam. While a bit costly to install, it was dirt cheap to run. Those homes lost all that when the power plant was shut down and they had to switch to either natural gas, fuel oil, LP, or electricity.

So don’t get hung up on just the power generation. Think what could be beyond that point.

They want your sweater back…
