I was going to pipe in that I paid for Minecraft in infdev, so pre-alpha. But now that you mention it, it was dirt cheap, and they had already had several free access weekends in indev, so I had a pretty good idea of what I was getting myself into

Fair; that was mostly a general warning, not necessarily directed at you, because many people do copypaste terminal commands without knowing what they are actually doing.
As long as you understand what a command does, absolutely go for it. No point typing that shit out when somebody else already has
Do not copy and paste into Bash if you don’t understand the commands you’re pasting in
This is the biggest thing. I’m very comfortable in Bash, but that is not the norm; the second my wife needs to run sudo apt get
, she’s out, fuck that
LxQt is nice, it is barebones like Xfce, but built on the Qt framework like KDE. Xfce uses GTK, like GNOME.
Stop fucking creating terrorists. America can’t though, creating terrorists is their favorite pastime
I specifically like Xfce or LxQt, because I generally run older hardware; I suppose my biggest question is how easily I could use either (not overly picky about which). I’m not sure which desktop environment LMDE defaults to, but both Gnome and KDE are deal-breakers for me, unless it’s easily changeable.
I don’t have that problem on my actual Debian machines, because they’re headless anyways, there is no desktop environment at all
I’ve been curious about LMDE, I use the Xfce version of regular Mint, but am comfortable in Debian (at least, server Debian). How does LMDE compare?
Linux vs. Windows doesn’t generally affect the cost unless you’re building the machine yourself, or buying from a Linux specific vendor like Framework (which are generally more expensive than what you’ll find at Best Buy anyways). The major PC manufacturers are going to have Windows pre-installed whether you want it or not.
Pascal or Camel are best cases
It can store enough energy to output 85MW for 100 hours, which is 8.5GWh. That’s also probably very optimistic math, unless it actually stores more than 8.5GWh, and that’s the reduced value accounting for losses
It’s not real, it’s an xkcd joke
Eh. Overseas? Definitely not. If my home is invaded? You bet your ass I’m fighting the invaders.
I am the last person to defend cops, and you can easily confirm that by going through my posting history. But seatbelts? Shut the fuck up and put on your fucking seatbelt.
Put on your fuckin’ seat belt and you won’t get double dipped
In my country, the driver is fined either way, and the passenger is also fined if they have a license (and thus should know better). Seems to work well enough
Exactly. As long as you’re not horribly ugly (1. Don’t be a slob 2. Shower, brush your teeth, wear clean clothes) the right personality will beat looks. Being funny, like legitimately witty funny, will go miles
During a grade 6 camping retreat, my best friend and I got in trouble for gambling, playing five card draw with evenly dealt chips and no actual money.
It was eventually officially decided that the chips were the problem. We collected rocks from the gravel road and played with those instead. Our roommates who originally complained were pissed, but five card draw with pebbles instead of chips was apparently allowed
Cannabis is a drug, as are alcohol and caffeine
Well there’s always self-executing archives
