    Yeah, the problem isn’t that the big trucks exist. There is a place for them, always will be. But they shouldn’t be a commuter vehicle, the majority of owners never use them for their intended purpose, and even those that do need a truck rarely need one of the size they get.


  • As someone else that doesn’t go to a gym, it is a combination of: they enjoy working out or do so for another reason, they don’t have the space for gym equipment at home, they can’t afford to buy and maintain the gym equipment they want to use, the gym they attend offers classes or personal training guidance, they enjoy the atmosphere and encouragement of working out with other like-minded individuals.

    It isn’t something magical, it may just not be for you.

    I play both Star Citizen and DRG without any issues on Linux (I use Arch btw).

    For Star Citizen you need to run the installer through a compatibility layer like Lutris, but then it should install and work fine (though I haven’t played in about half a year, so more recent changes may have broken things). For DRG, I just installed through Steam. I don’t even think I’m using GE or anything and just running it native.



  • I do want to add in that driving slowly isn’t safer, but driving predictably is. If it is easier for you, driving slowly is fine, but be sure to use directionals and other signals to indicate intent to other drivers, make sure to follow the signs and rules of the road consistently, and be aware of the other cars around you who may drive eradically if they are getting frustrated.

    Being able to multitask well is fundamental with driving safely, and keeping your speed low is one way you can reduce that mental load. But driving slowly on its own will not do anything to keep you safer. (Rather, low speed collisions are safer, but driving slow won’t necessarily prevent collisions or accidents on its own.)



  • Windows 8 to Windows 10, and Windows 10 to Windows 11 didn’t have the exact same workflows either. That’s a big part of the reason many people that had compatible hardware didn’t upgrade to 11 when given the chance. I think we need to stop trying to cater to expectations of things working exactly the same and instead educate on “things are going to change, but you can be in control of how they change”.




  • Sure, but the $ is signifying the following numbers refer to money. And people can write it differently than they say it. I will say “June 1st” much, much more often than “the 1st of June”, but I will also almost always write it “01 June <YEAR>”.

    But the reason it is much more common in the USA to write dates as “June 1, <YEAR>” is because that is how it is often spoken here. That doesn’t need to be consistent across other speech and writing patterns, it’s just how it developed. Probably goes back to the printing press like a lot of the other oddities in writing here…

    You don’t know that the kid hasn’t already told the mom about the accident. It’s not like she can come pick the kid up, it was her car that was crashed. Relying on a parent and asking them for help in a time of need doesn’t mean the kid isn’t also going to take responsibility. But the parent saying that fishing is more important is absolutely ludicrous. Sure, maybe the dad is too far away to be able to help at the moment, but he said he’s too busy to even talk (yet not busy enough to prevent sending those texts).

    I had switched over to Linux last year for the same concern of Win 10 reaching end of support. I wanted to switch over while I still had time to switch back (even if temporarily) of something went wrong.

    I’d highly suggest start dual-booting or load Linux on an older system to get used to using it as a daily driver now rather than waiting until you don’t have the same choice.
