We had an excellent mechanic before he moved cities. He would only charge what he said he would even if it took a bit longer and I heard he had fixed a few old peoples cars for free.

Honda dealers near us are now like $165-180 an hour and parts are ridiculous. I just do the work myself. $25 part online and 5 hours my free labour, instead of the $2000 Honda quoted

Wasnt my comment, I’m just continuing the out of context chain

Regrets on buying, per the title

1k is excessive for looking over your car.

You turn your secondary monitor 90 degrees and rotate the screen in display settings. This is how I worked on long list items.

NVidia has worked great for me, even RTX shading looked good.

Me neither. We were taught cogs were those janky gears for certain tasks, while a true gear had geometry for smooth engagment

Because many people see themselves as being the most important person, and can’t deal with not existing anymore.

Area 51

Wayland is now default, you have to add a few x11 packages to have an x11 login now. Also SE Linux Enforcing by default.

Ha. My young coworker said “wow you really know this software in depth, how long have you used it?” me: meh 26 years. He was like “dude that is longer than I have been alive”

Cogs are typically square tooth, gears have involute teeth.

Yes, files, and hamburger menu at top right, new folder

Gnome had right click --> new folder, but only if you can select the white space, or you can right click the small empty square in the upper right below the top but above the scroll bar.

So our IT guy sent a training memo for a task. Step 1, 2, 3, etc. The one step was go to folder /User, then go to folder yourusername. A young guy emailed back " there is no folder called yourusername".

I explained to IT, some of these people have never navigated a folder structure and don’t realize Yourfoldername is meant to be replaced with their own name.

Depends how far you want to keep going back…English talking about Russia and Ukraine like they don’t still occupy most of Wales

Yes agreed. It was simplest relation to come to mind. Guys figuring out gravity and universe math had as much skill (or more) than today, without the advantage of mass computation and world wide collaboration.

Just because it was a long time ago, don’t assume they were stupid. Their engineers that built castles and structures have that work still standing today–while USA has infrastructure collapsing

If you arena opposed to GNOME, you add your online accounts and it integrates them into evolution mail, calendar and contacts. And also Gdrive becomes a mounted folder if you add Google account.
