That’s wild. I’m assuming you’re in the states. I’m a UX designer and on paper I make just shy of $50k CAD.

What is a career in your definition?

How about Walmart buys Intel and Apple and then they buy all the grocery stores and every other store. Wow how simple and GRAND life would be. So many stores is so many confusion. We just need 1 company for everything. They should write the laws too.

A friend of mine bought a taser that shoots those little barbs for $15. Absolutely insane.

My question to anyone able to answer this: how can you afford to take a sabbatical period??? I can’t even afford to take a weeks vacation. It would wreck me financially not receiving pay for a whole week. Let alone a year??? What’s going on in this thread?

Yeah it’s built in and I use it for running .deb files on Fedora which is kind of neat. I was thinking more of running a windows xp machine

Second Bazzite. My use case is almost identical to OPs. Been using Bazzite for a while and I haven’t had a single issue. Everything works. Gaming is a breeze. Even works with my work dock with keyboard, mouse, webcam, and 2 1080p monitors attached. Plug n play.

Never had that experience on Linux before in my LIFE

See this is the exact sort of problem I always had with different flavours of Ubuntu. I’d always muck up my install with misconfigured shit and it would be too much time and effort to fix so I’d have to nuke the whole OS every now and then 😜

I daily drive it on my laptop and it’s amazing. My usb c dock just works. No open source community drivers needed! Nothing has broken!

Virtual machines I have a hard time running but oh well. Price u pay for stability.

It’s really bad because that sort of self censoring spills into other mediums like Teams chats at work. I had a coworker message me and say “I feel like an !di0t right now”

Y censor harmless words. Aagggggggghhh.

Here’s another technique you could try that takes these drawings to the next level!

Instead of outlining the defined edges of someone’s head (drawing a circle, channeling ur inner loomis with guidelines n stuff), try doing a very rough light outline and just filling in the shadow areas. Like every shadow. Instantly makes things pop, isn’t difficult to do, and vastly makes pictures look much more realistic.

This is just an example: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/670332725764879484/

Essentially you end up with a drawing where you can’t even really see defined edge lines. Bumps ya from cartoon to semi realistic :)

These bikes are usually slower, less than 120 miles of range, and are almost double the price of a gas bike.

There isn’t really much advantage over a gas bike (and I say this as an e-dirtbike owner) just yet. Instant torque, no clutch, and much lighter are all these things have going for them. It’s not enough

100% amen. All of my underwear is Aussiebum. Pouches for anatomy. Cont stuff. And my wife keeps asking me to wear the low cut briefs cause those get her going.

Fellas, is it gay to sexually excite my wife???

My dad used to call me this non stop. I didn’t know what it meant and he kept saying I was effeminate because I cared about the clothes I wore. I wanted to look good for the girls.

This, to my dad, made me gay.

You actually expected integrity from a country that beats and kills women for refusing to wear a hijab. Wow.

I expect someone in their 40s to not know copy and paste. The more savvy that I have worked with/taught knew they could right click and then click “copy” from the drop down list. Ctrl+c blew some peoples minds when I showed it.

People who are good with tech VASTLY overestimate the general public’s tech literacy. But don’t take my word for it, take this study’s word: https://www.nngroup.com/articles/computer-skill-levels/

I’m having a very hard time accepting that your 60 year old parents, after seeing Linux, said something along the lines of “What was windows doing for us?”

I teach adults 40-80 on how to use Windows products. I’ve taught over 5,000 people this year so far. The vast majority didn’t even understand the concept of browser tabs or copy/paste. These are people well into their professions in corporate office jobs. They don’t even know what an operating system is.

Nudity=sex and sex is worse than violence there.

Baldurs Gate. There is so much content. I’m 150 hours in the game, I play split screen coop with my wife. We each have our characters customized to how we like it. It’s AAA quality. Came at a AAA price, but it’s absolutely worth it.

And I say this as a FPS/simulation gamer. Totally different genre but they’ve made this game accessible to all. It’s the only game I’ve ever purchased at full price and my steam account is 12 years old.
