Fine. We’ll go for the tarantula sized T-Rex.

Can I be a T-Rex sized tarantula or a tarantula sized T-Rex?

As someone who is currently working at a company that has no problems of cash flow yet is still penny pinching, often on things that would actively save costs after an initial serious investment, yes, I would not change and most probably burn through that money to do positive things for people.

I also have a tendency to look as how things might happen down the road, so time is not really that much of a concern for me.

With so much money at my discretion, I can say with a fair degree of confidence I’d been putting money into projects amd initiatives I would most probably never benefit from their results.

But would I be popular or well liked in that endeavour? I seriously doubt.

When things get dire, I use vapor with some mint or eucaplitus oil added to the boilling water. It tends to ease things.

The following can be filed under the “too much information”.

My airways act very weird when I get a cold or something is afecting my air ways. My nose tends to feel clogged but I have nothing to discharge, even if I feel the need to. I often have to force ouy whatever there may be backed up in there, often to the point I get light headed and/or dizzy. The first wave is usually clear and very low in volume. The second wave often brings out a deluge of yellow greenish mucus (good sign) or a blob of green greyish stuff, often with blood spots or small strikes (very bad). The third wave makes my ear pop and causes me to start coughing and pull up more gunk that then start to flow without the need for me to try to blow my spine from my back.

Yes. And we always should. The colour of what is coming out can hint how far/how bad you might be on a cold, as well as the consistency. Knowing if you’re losing blood or clots is also important.

I fell off a first floor balcony, helping in a move. Landed on a bush, bounced off it, and came to a stop on a stone paved floor, after breaking a kitchen cabinet with my shoulder and back.

Cut my brow on a twig in the bush, twisted my left ankle, scraped my left shoulder, elbow and hand.

Would do it again.

Hadn’t I leaned too forward to release a foot of the cabinet, it would have tumbled down onto another person, with no warning, straight into their head.

So… worth the scars and bruises.

Not that I’m aware. I have been trying to fully activate the keyboard, as the machine has a windows key and a function key. The mapping is screwed to the point Alt+F4 lowers volume

I’ve been considering getting one of those for years but how do they fare with playing games.

I’m mostly a casual gamer but some require acting fast.

I’ll try to deactivate the touch pad, via software. But if that was the case, for the start, this behaviour would manifest. It started randomly, after a few weeks of use.

The mouse randomly clicking is noticeable already at the user log in screen, so I’m going to risk creating a new account will retain the strange behaviour.

You did manage to make me think there are two DEs on the machine and, maybe, by some weird event, there is an overlapping conflicting mouse controller.

Booting from a thumb drive is going to be very useful and I thank you for that suggestion. If the latest ISO running live replicates this behaviour, then there is the possibility there is a bug I can report.

Annoying but cute. I’m very careful with making sure the correct dongle is inserted in the computer.

I use a vertical mouse no one else is capable of using and all the other mice in the house are conventional.

There was a time where I regularly made a fool of myself by having more than one mouse connected.

Under the other OS both work fine. And it would be highly disapointing, as the bloody machine is near new.

You know, that possibility would be a lot more entertaining than whatever the real issue might be.

No, thankfully.

[…] smash epic beasts

you picked a very lenient verb to designate whatever actions you’re going to inflict on the monsters

Nerdy joke, if I’ve ever seen one.

A good number of people would die at my hands. Too many bad actors wrecking people I love lives to be left alone if I can give a good use to my final hour.

Elevated solar panels, with beehives underneath. I’ve seen a few of these combinations. The shade from the panels protect the hives from the worst of the sun. The bees just do bee stuff.

I abused debfoster for years… it kept my machines running very, very clean.
