Yeah C# gets a bad rap. I spent a decade developing in C++, and Java before switching to C# because of program requirements. Now I never want to go back.

That and the neutrons would rapidly undergo beta decay producing a LOT of free energy and other particles.

Thanks but it’s not so much difficult as I’ve learned I dislike a rolling release. Feels to much like being at work in a production environment.

I think NixOS is going to give me the stability where I want it and the cutting edge where I need it. Being able to roll back changes to the OS sounds great. In theory anyway I’ll see how it goes in practice.

Good news is I should be able to get it like I want on a flash drive and them just port the config to my SSD when I’m ready to nuke Arch.

The edge effect in perception or just edge effect.

So a happy child who starts to cry when they drop their ice cream is more intense than just showing a crying child with dropped ice cream.

It applys to any sudden change in perception. So getting into a hot shower or cold pool. Walking intro a house where cooking is going on. Sudden change in volume like at party when something happens and everybody goes silent.

If you can I’d stick with Mint. I updated my hardware recently and need kernel 6.14 or newer. I’ve not been happy with Arch and miss Mint.

I’m thinking of giving NixOS a try as it also supports 6.14.

Same. Walt is an unlikeable person making bad decisions. I grave up after season 1.

About 10 years.

It was also updated every year and you got one with a new s set of ties. So an extra incentive to get a new set of tires every year.

An oak tree started growing near my house in a problem spot. I kept meaning to pull it up. By the time I cut it down it was 8" in diameter and about 25’ tall.

Gimp doesn’t have UI standards. That’s part of the problem.

Rory was maybe her husband’s son. When he found out about Rory he started spending time with him. After finding out he is not the father he decided to stay in the Rory’s life as his dad.

Rory is nice but not a responsible child. So saying he is would be a lie.

In a similar vein Neolution / Dyad in Orphan Black. It started as a shady transhumanist group willing to break legal and ethical boundaries to control human evolution.

The clones seemed like just one of their experiments and not a major one. But because the clones are the focus of the show they become the core mission of Dyad.

It’s called inelastic demand when price changes have very small changes to demand. Supply and demand are very relevant to this situation.

With inelastic demand a small reduction in supply can cause a large increase in price. When paired with something like housing where new production takes a long time to become available you end up in a rapid inflationary period with the price.

It’s a situation where owning the asset and being able to rent it greatly favors current owners who have more then their personal demand. This leads to them being able to buy more and more of the asset and continue to increase price.

The current housing situation in the US is exactly what is predicted. It’s why we used to have programs like low cost housing and first time home buyer loans and grants.

Fannie Mae becoming a publicly traded company in 1968 was the beginning of the end of an easy path to home ownership.

There’s no one like you in my ass.

The Serpent and the Rainbow. It’s been 20 years since I’ve seen it so I don’t know if it holds up.

You would hate the books. The author just pulls tech out of his ass constantly.

I don’t have a favorite but a few I liked a lot.

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension: great fun crazy cast.

Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant. Such a strange world. I would have loved to see sequels.

Pandorum: Clever scifi horror. Unique situation and setting.

Rustlers Rhapsody: The main character is a genre savvy singing cowboy from 1940s westerns transported to a 1980s western. The bad guys have to team up with some spaghetti western villains.

Cheese Buldak is good and freezes well. I almost always make a double or triple batch and freeze a few raw portions. It’s chicken, cheese, and chewy rice cake in a spiecy sauce.

I remember mixing lobster with almost everything. Armor, healing, claws, amphibious. It had everything.

When they they first introduced the stones I thought neet callback and good way to keep them from being completely isolated. By the third time they pulled them out I was thinking not this shit again.
