It’s probably that the plug is retrofitted into the wall after construction and it uses a different type of plaster which carries a diffent moisture level.

I’m going back and changing the convention of current to flow in the same direction as the flow of electrons.

Salad is way too big a lot of that region should be soup. If you give me a bowl of 50/50 water and veg I’m calling that soup not a salad.

I would suggest the support this has from valve that means it works great out the box does indeed make it novel.

It will move the needle far more than like 2 hobbyists flashing niche hardware. Nobody cares about that because it’s so small scale. Nobody will put in the support for that user base. Conversely the valve frame is going to be a mass market product that will be in the hands of loads of people, so issues and problems will get fixed, software will be optimised and if the install base is large enough it will be targeted with new software and features.

That’s the novelty. It’s likely going to change things.

To be fair I wouldn’t buy one of those to run Linux, and it’s not a extremely hard to see why the average consumer wouldn’t want to buy this to run Linux either:

-Get off social media, comparison is the thief of joy. People post their best moments and they make them look better than they are in reality. It’ll make you feel bad or FOMO and subconsciously damage your confidence and happiness. The insidious thing is even though we all know social media is fake, our lizard brain deep down doesn’t so even though you know it’s all bullshit your subconscious reads it as real. Best thing to do is to get off it completely but that can be impossible socially so limit your time and exposure to it. Use it to make real world plans with friends and then call it quits for the day.

-You’re young, now is the best time to increase your bone density! Work out, lift weights, train with a weighted vest. Do so safely and your bones will thank you, that way when you’re in your 80s you won’t be so brittle. A broken hip is a life changing event- and not for the better!

-Start to play a team sport, football, netball, hockey, baseball whatever. If you git gud now as teen you’ll have the confidence to join your chosen sports amateur club in whatever city or town you end up in though your life, it’s a cheat code. You get to move to a new place and immediately have 5+ mates who are local. That’s SO good. If you can’t find a team sport, try getting into running, and join a running club, same reason, but team sports are better for bonding.

OpenSuse is a left field choice. Nothing wrong with it - just not a typical first distro. Hope you have a great time with it! I recommend using it for a solid month then working on a windows pc for a day - you’ll be blown away by how asinine windows is once you’ve got used to Linux.

Goodness me, that’s a big panda!

Care to elaborate?

What the fuck… are you me? See my comment. I’ve never seen (heard?) anyone else with this ringtone!

It was the ringtone from Crank for a while… but now I haven’t a clue what my ringtone is - whatever came by default on my phone. I don’t think I’ve ever intentionally turned it off silent.

Tails is a pretty cool thing to have around.

This is delightful

The first Transporter is a genuinely good film, the 2nd is also pretty decent. But I’m not sure the third and 4th are worth the time of day.

I do not believe so! They’re not superhero films, are you thinking of Unbreakable?

Con Air is an amazing “Sunday evening after eating too much dinner” film.

I’ve not seen it since it came out but Crank (2006) is a terrible, dumb action comedy that has no right being that entertaining. It’s sequel Crank High Voltage is less good but also still enjoyable. I should rewatch them see if that’s rose tinted glasses or not!

The Swiss German layout looks fairly reasonable in a vacuum. The ä key having 5 letter options on it is pretty wild though. The Swiss French layout is maybe better than standard French too - it’s certainly got more sensible punctuation.

Yes and no.

Doing pull-ups will make you stronger, but it’s lats and biceps, if you’re wanting to be a boxer they aren’t the most important muscles to target. Also at a point you’ll be training endurance not strength. You’ll need to add weight to overload.

Losing fat through cardio. Ehhh… like technically yes. Practically though not really. It’s really hard to out-train a bad diet. Losing fat is something best done in the kitchen not the gym. Problem is losing fat requires a callorie deficit, and gaining muscle requires a surplus. It is possible to do both but you’re really fighting biology. Do do cardio though - it’s its own benefit. Better lungs and heart is so important for everything else.

Yeah training will work endurance. Much like strength. But the way you train for the two is different. You can train both but again it’s non optimal.

The good news is that as you’re just starting out the gains should come easy so you don’t need to be optimal just yet. Keep it up and decide what you want to be your goals. Then build a focused training plan for those goals. You don’t have to do it forever either. You can initially try lose fat, then pivot into strength training, then pivot into endurance or back to fat loss or whatever suits your goals at the time.

Mandriva Linux, then RHEL, the Debian and fedora.
