Try to not be reactive. Take appropriate action whenever needed but choose to act after a delay so that you aren’t responding impulsively. In my experience 90% of conversations that were problematic could have been avoided if either party chose to walk away or take a break.

Yast. I love zypper and opi but yast is super weird. Like if you want to do things that you can do with yast, you probably know how to do it on terminal.

Nothing is perfect. Every distribution I used have had bugs at some point.

I would usually wait a while before, maybe until the first point release to upgrade so that there is time to iron out all the teething issues.

The actual problem is only encountered when the raspi-firmware package is (re)configured or when the kernel/initramfs is updated.

Have at look at this: https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian

I found this to be invaluable when I was borking stuff all the time.

My main draw towards Linux is the exact opposite experience. I have a Linux install that has been carried over three computer and two harddisk changes over 10 years and it’s still as good, or slightly better than it used to be.

My suggestion would be to start with something stable like Debian and read the manual when you want to tinker with it. Especially this: https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian

Debian stable but be careful though, you might never leave after using it for a while :)

I’m not talking about the normal distribution being valid at some value. Since it’s a continuous decaying function in either direction, it’ll be kosher at any real number. I’m talking about the hypothesis that IQ will be normally distributed not holding at that far deviations.

Most of it is fear mongering but you know bioaccumulation is a thing right? Water is a nice shield against radiation reaching you but if radioactive nucleai are in the water, it’s going to accumulate in animals that grow in that water and cause heavy metal poisoning, like Mercury.

Negative IQ would be more than six sigmas away. I don’t think the distribution would hold till tail that far 🤔

I sometimes eat it knowingly and then question all my life decisions once the migraine sets in 🤣

That’s a very good point, along with usage. Weed might have practically no effect if you consume it non-regularly but might have significant effect when you do every day.

I love the taste of msg, unfortunately over the past few years it seems to have become a trigger for my migraines. I miss eating noodles with msg.

It isn’t harmless. I’m not saying you shouldn’t use it. In all likelihood, it’s less harmful than tobacco or alcohol, but we shouldn’t pretend it’s completely harmless.

Isn’t there a hard floor though? IQ would have been such a bummer if they set the average at zero 🤣
