  • And that mon ami, is why I'm even considering going back to Linux. I will admit one reason I'm hesitant is that I'm a senior citizen now (fuck it feels weird to actually say that out loud), and I'm concerned about how well I can learn a new operating system. Mind you, they say mental challenges help keep the brain young :D

  • My big issue was that every time I wanted to use software that wasn't native to Linux it could take up to two weeks of forum hunting, Google searches, and just plain hair tearing to find out how to do something.

    Getting Eve Online to run wound up requiring a font install and deleting the in-game music folder. Not the things you expect an average or even better than average user to know or expect to do.

    And that is just one of the instances that stick in my memory

  • Absofuckinglutely not.

    And I say this as a dedicated Windows user who spent a year on Ubuntu Linux a decade ago and hated it. Windows does this, and sign me up for penguin lessons.

  • The Krishna temple in Burnaby used to have a wonderful vegan restaurant. Absolutely amazing food.

  • "Being vegan is unnatural"

    Jump

  • I mean... it is.

    Looking at this directly from a viewpoint of what is "natural" for the human body, being vegan is unnatural.

    Being an omnivore is. Our entire digestive system is such that the natural diet of the human body is an omnivorous one and it does best when treated as such. And that means a small amount of animal fats, proteins, trace minerals, and amino acids in one's diet.

    I'm not going to argue morals or ethics, because that wasn't what the post was about. It's what's about what is "natural."

    Yes, you may disagree with me. Strenuously, and just know that I respect you and hope that you and yours have an excellent day wherever you happen to be on this flaming cannonball of a planet we call home.

  • Contact or join your local SCA group. They may be anachronists as opposed to anarchists, but if you want to learn how make and use weapons and armor of that sort there are few more accessible teachers and trainers.

    One of them made large amounts of basic body armor from heavy gauge plastic barrels for use by protesters a few years back. They may not stop bullets, but they are very_ effective versus "non-lethal" rounds and similar.

    And yes, the person did get a visit from the FBI, who let the person keep on making as they weren't working on weapons of any sort. Just the armor.

  • I'm Canadian, and this year I went to Florida to fulfill a life-long (I'll be 60 next year) dream to visit the Kennedy Space Center. One thing I noticed, beyond getting "randomly secondarily" screened at EVERY security checkpoint, was that there were no wait lines for anything anywhere.

    No lines at NASA, no lines at restaurants, no lines at Orlando attractions. At least nothing more than a couple of minutes, at most. Even the beaches were mostly empty...
