I hear ya, you're basically right.

My thought process is more like people with a food stamp card will still have the card, but it'll be useless without being reloaded with benefits funds.

Note that for once the orange shitstain actually did something to help in the meantime, not long after I made that meme, Turnip announced he's approving the use of emergency funds around $5 billion for SNAP recipients, which is around half of what typically goes out to people, but hey it's something at least, for now..

He probably only did that because even in his demented cranium, he's gotta understand that his ratings will plummet through the floor if he doesn't do something quick so even the poor and low income families can have a decent meal for Thanksgiving.

I dunno, I haven't had food stamps in over 5 years. It's hardly worth the waste of my time to only qualify for a lousy $27 a month, it costs more than that in gas to get back and forth to their office to comply with their work program requirements.

Edit: Update, I guess the orange turnip changed his mind.. 🀷

It's pure sarcasm, I might as well have titled it...

"Happy ThanksTaking!"

True, and I've seen food banks giving out entire frozen turkeys before, and yeah that's a good thing.

The point of the meme is, here in the USA, they shut down the government, so the government isn't here to feed the people on the country's food day...

Oh phuck, so many ways to go with that one, where to start?...

"Have you subscribed to Black Friday yet?"

While I tend to agree with most people here, simpler is better and fuck touchscreens in cars, but I do prefer to have a functioning AM/FM radio. It doesn't have to be anything fancy, hell it doesn't even need USB/MP3/CD player or anything else, but living in a hurricane prone area, I like to be able to get emergency news reports even in the event the cell towers go out.

Katrina was no fun yo, especially when we found out the hard way that a chunk of the eastbound Interstate 10 bridge had collapsed. We sure could have used a working radio to find stuff like that out...

You're right, let me go mark the calendar..

Are they sure the opossum was dead? I've literally seen one play dead for over a week on the side of the road before..

With that said, I have never felt the urge to defecate on roadkill...

Don't worry, I'm sure it has a hidden camera and facial recognition...

Ya know, I think human brain cells work best in their own human heads. Maybe that's just me though..

Oh, new update?!

Awesome, thanks for letting me know, hope the option is there.. πŸ‘

I already did, right after the feature dropped.

 

I've been testing this OS for a bit, but I'm having trouble where drives are shutting down prematurely, as if the power management is too aggressive when it comes to external USB drives.

My USB hard drive will shut down on whatever timer Linux is using, despite my VirtualBox machine actively using it via Shared Folders. I have to use the Linux host and Caja to wake the drive back up. Like what the hell?

My USB DVD drive will spin up stupid fast to buffer a lot of DVD video, then Linux spins the drive down and turns it off. Then the next time it needs data, the drive has to spin up stupid high speed again, causing the video to freeze frequently while the drive spins back up, way too fast no less for the task. Why not a simple consistent speed and keep the drive running while watching a movie? VLC if that matters, on the host Linux.

Is this a power management configuration issue? Are these somehow the same issue, or are they two separate issues?

What should I do to resolve/reconfigure?

 

I've got a whole bucket full of old hard drives, CDs and DVDs, and I'm starting the process of backing up as much as still works to a 4TB drive.

It's gonna be a long journey and lots of files, many prone to being duplicates from some of the drives.

What sorts of software do you Linux users recommend?

I'm on Linux Mint MATE, if that matters much.

Edit: One of the programs I'm accustomed to from my Windows days is FolderMatch, which is a step above simple duplicate file scanning, it scans for duplicate or semi-duplicate folders as well and breaks down individual file differences when comparing two folders.

I see I've already gotten some responses, and I thank everyone in advance. I'm on a road trip right now, I'll be checking you folks recommend software later this evening or as soon as I can anyways.

 

Also, apparently baby oil is made with synthetic babies. I'm so disappointed, how do people live with all these lies? ☹️
