Leap with Gnome. Really solid

They are only thinking of “Me” now, or “Me and my kids”, they will be dead when society collapses and they don’t care. But yes, the obscene amassed wealth is insanity, it means nothing to your lifestyle at some point. And will be useless at death.

Sorry, linux is boring now now.

I found that on OpenSUSE. Once getting past the learning curve of linux and OpenSUSE’s general use, It has updated flawlessly for years and there is never anything to tinker with.

Unfortunately they own Shaw now.

There are opensource versions, I tried a selfhosted chatgpt-like one, it wasn’t quite as good…you could still tell it was a computer responding…although technically it isn’t AI

All good points, thanks for presenting them. My kids did the sport and volunteer route too, two of them chose to work after graduating highschool, but the other two chose to start early one at 11 delivering papers and the other at 13. They were both open and would alert us if any exploitation was happening, but I recognize some kids may not have the skills. My one daughter found working very enjoyable, a sense of purpose and earning their own paycheck. Annecdotally it set her ahead in life, at 20 she had saved enough and was able to buy an apartment in metro Vancouver…if you know prices here you can see how that is a huge achievement, she still had time for school, friends, movies and sports. For myself I would find that too busy, but some people enjoy it.

From what I have heard/been told the “ignoring partner and sex 1-2 times a year” is a lot of marriages, so maybe your scenario wouldn’t change much

Oh, I know it happens in places, as forced labour, or poor families needing children to work. But I see it as a bonus if your are just a willing participant and paid the equivalent wages. And other countries people have gone into their tradeschool by 16. NA has a delayed entry into real life

Thats why i said ettiquette not culture on its own. The good parts you should so

Yep, its the whole point of a crust right? Like when they baked covered pies to keep the filling fresh…when refrigeration wasn’t so readily available

I have found the opposite, a vented breadbin keeps it cool and moisture escapes. put a bag in the fridge and the temp difference brings moisture out and condenses on the inside of bag, then boom mokd next day.

I wondered the same, race was never a thing at our grade achool or highschool either in 80s or 90s. Like it never crossed our minds to think the brown/black kid, they were just kids, and some were the super popular kids. One of my white friends was super into rap and breakdancing and his entire friend circle was black. They called each other niggah as a greating ( but ER ending back then) Once I got into a career though I met a lot of the generation above me that were racist assholes. i’m not sure why our gen didn’t win out over the older gen.

Just human decency, when you move to a new country you adopt their cultural ettiquette and obey their laws. If you move anywhere and tgink you can just be a terrible person while waiting for citizenship, then you don’t represent the country. Its like probation at a job

Smart is a British term for looking sharply dressed, etc. Like “Oi, Lad, don’t you look smart with the new 'aircut”

You want that distinct crunch as you force the RAM in with a mallet

What exploitation angle? I was paid the same minimum wage an adult would get. And as a kid that spent tons of time outdoors with friends, exploring nature, kayaking etc, it really didn’t cut into that, as you were done your shift and still had 5-6 hours of daylight to enjoy the summer. If I wasn’t working I would have wasted that time warching rerun cartoons, you can only swim so much in the pool so much before your skin prunes. lol

w7 EOL was my push, so you may be right

I worked at a farm around 12-13 saved enough to quit and buy my first computer, it was awesome. Then 13-14 working at a convienence store. I don’t see an issue working, you learn the actual value of time and money without ma and pa paying for everything. By very early 20s, I owned my own house, cars, motorcycles etc. Kids going from only school life to full time career have a terrible time adjusting to whar that life change is

Right, shouldn’t the assault, then the investigation impeded by people refusing to give ID be cause for arrest?
