Didn't this happen with the last MSFS? I seem to remember Steam extending the refund period for that game. But I could've dreamed that

Sometimes I'm scrolling and my thumb gets lazy and goes sideways and I upvote or downvote things unintentionally.

It's the only explanation that makes sense

I read that as entomologist for a second and was really confused

Figured it had something to do with fleas

On one hand, it's stupid as hell to store a firearm anywhere but in a safe/cabinet designed for them. An oven is another level of stupid

On the other, I used to store our cast iron Dutch oven in the oven and I can't tell you how many times I started preheating the oven and then remembered to take it out. Usually after its oil seasoning started to heat up

Just stay away from nvidia on Linux and you are golden.

I'm sorry but this is the kind of condescending bullshit that pushes me away from Linux

I got a 3070TI for half off MSRP for open box in the middle of the crypto bubble, and I'm not buying another GPU until I absolutely have to.

You want more people to embrace Linux? Make it work on startup without jumping through a bunch of hoops, on the hardware we already own.

Your lived experience with Windows is yours, and I'm glad you have a system that works for you. I don't have the time or mental energy to learn, not just a new OS, but also all of the bugs that go with it.

Look, I get it. I'm putting my apprentice in my old work van, and as I'm looking at the old heap I'm remembering all the little quirks it has that I've developed blind spots for. Blind spots they don't have. Quirks that are actually problems. I know there are problems with windows that I ignore because I know how to work around them. I know the workarounds because I've been using Windows since 3.11. I didn't have that experience with Linux, and neither does my wife. A woman who once nearly bricked our computer falling for an Indian call center scam.

When this rig bites the dust, I'll probably build a Linux gaming box and just tell her to get used to the OS. For now, we're using Windows

Also HP is shit and I'd gladly put any HP exec in the hospital if I met them

That would be me.

Tried Ubuntu 15 years ago, but couldn't because Nvidia driver issues, and haven't tried again

Look, dudes, I'm bootstrapping a small business while trying to manage ADHD. I can barely get two hours of admin work done in an eight hour day. I just need things to work. I'd love to walk away from Windows but I don't have the mental bandwidth for that shit

And even if I did, my wife and I share a gaming computer/media center. There's nothing like having her call me in the middle of a workday because my VPN is keeping her from logging into PBS so that she can watch Grantchester. Imagine the headaches if I installed a new OS.

Much like improving my physical fitness, I have the desire, but not the will

Can i just thank you so very much for that amazing etymology summary you just made? I can't even grammar right now, love it!

Excuse me, but it's pronounced GIF

I've found Grayjay helps me hate YouTube less

Oh I ain't dead, I'm just real depressed

If i knew of any execs near where i live they would be getting a front row seat to my reenactment of the Office Space printer scene.

It's rare for me to viscerally hate someone just for existing, but if i met an HP exec I would have to exert quite a bit of self control to not beat them until I lost feeling in my hands
