like I went to taco bell and they didn't even have _napkins_ out. they had the other stuff just no napkins, I assume because some fucking ghoul noticed people liked taking them for their cars so now we just don't get napkins! so they can save $100 per quarter rather than provide the barest minimum quality of life features.

I almost always read in the news/press that dentists recommend to brush teeth two times a day for 2-3 minutes. This drives me crazy, because it does not make sense; The point for dental health is to _systematical clean every surface of your teeth_ twice a day (and use inter-dental brushes/floss once a day). For me, brushing my teeth takes around 6 minutes, if I hurry up. For someone faster it might be possible in 1 minute. So, why do dentists always give the 2-3 minutes recommendation?

The priest’s data has been obtained from commercially available databases TLDR: $4 million, and 52 weeks of data for a catholic organization to out the "sinner". A dragnet search, not checking him specifically.

For example, English speakers commonly mix up your/you're or there/their/they're. I'm curious about similar mistakes in other languages.

I ran Manjaro Linux as my daily driver a few years ago but slowly phased it out for Windows for some reason, and I'm finally back using Linux (currently Linux Mint). I gotta say, I don't know why I ever switched back to Windows. There's just so much freedom Linux gives you right off the bat that Windows is just plain stubborn about. The final straw for me was a couple weeks ago when Microsoft added a Copilot (Bing AI) Shortcut to my Windows 11 taskbar. They'd already added ads to my start menu and preinstalled a bunch of garbage that should be opt-in, not opt-out, so I was just fed up with it at that point. Plus, Linux is so much more customizable. Been running Mint for about a week and a half now, and honestly, I don't think I'll be using Windows much anymore.

Im having difficulty finding names I like. I need two - three names that roll off the tongue and wouldn't be out of place with a long hyphenated surname. No religious names No surnames No places Nothing that rhymes with Aden Upvote good suggestions otherwise post ones. Bonus points if it's a sci-fi name. Edit: lots of good suggestions, but I think I'm going with 'Wash'.

In the end of November 2022 (1 year ago), I switched from MacOs to Linux (Debian with KDE Plasma) on my MacBook. No regret! Was a very good decision. I think, I'll never go back. Experience: - I did not know about KDE Plasma until 1 year ago. The picture in my head about Linux was pretty much GNOME. I'm a huge fan of KDE Plasma now. KDE Plasma 6 in 2024 will probably be awesome. - The GitHub repository "Awesome-Linux-Software" was awesome during the first weeks. It made me realize that most of the stuff I was already using, is also available for Linux. Only software I had to leave behind: Affinity Designer (IMO far more intuitive to use than GIMP, sorry FOSS community) and Visual Studio for Mac (which is dead anyway) - The only advanced thing I had to do in the beginning: My WIFI connection is always gone when I close my MacBook, but there is not automatic reconnect when I reopen it. None of the usual stuff recommended when using Debian on a MacBook helped. So, I had to write a service that checks for this (something with rmmod, modprobe, brcmfmac, ...). Probably too much for a casual user and hopefully not necessary for them.. TODO in the next year: - Trying out gaming on Linux, maybe buying a Steam Deck - Migrating to KDE Plasma 6 (and switching to Wayland) - Recommending ~~our religion~~ Linux to others

Someone tell me if there is a better way to do this, but I don't see how. I needed a way to see which services I have *enabled* that I have manually stopped. There oddly isn't a way to do this in one command, so I had to take the output of list-unit-files 'enabled', and use that to filter for 'list-units'. The command is here: ` alias sysstop='systemctl list-units --state=failed,dead,exited $( systemctl list-unit-files --state=enabled --type=service | awk "/.*\.service/ {print }" )' ` So now I can remember that I need to restart mariadb and nginx at some point: ``` $ sysstop UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB DESCRIPTION blueman-mechanism.service loaded inactive dead Bluetooth management mechanism mariadb.service loaded inactive dead MariaDB 11.2.2 database server NetworkManager-wait-online.service loaded active exited Network Manager Wait Online nginx.service loaded inactive dead A high performance web server and a reverse proxy server systemd-homed-activate.service loaded active exited Home Area Activation systemd-networkd-wait-online.service loaded active exited Wait for Network to be Configured ``` My other aliases are here, in case anyone finds these helpful. I use them frequently myself. ``` alias sysdis='systemctl list-unit-files --type=service --state=disabled' alias sysdisuser='systemctl list-unit-files --type=service --state=disabled --user' alias sysen='systemctl list-unit-files --type=service --state=enabled' alias sysenuser='systemctl list-unit-files --type=service --state=enabled --user' alias sysfail='systemctl list-units --type=service --state=failed' alias sysrun='systemctl list-units --type=service --state=running' alias sysrunuser='systemctl list-units --type=service --state=running --user' alias sysstatic='systemctl list-units --type=service --state=static' ```
