1000℅

Surely you mean 1000‰ (1000 per mille), not care of. How did you type that, anyway?!

Thank you, I have now been unwooshed

… four?

I use both btw

Woah. Sir, this is trademark infringement. You’re only allowed to use that phrase with Arch.

Yup, Cinnamon is slow on Wayland support, but they’re getting there. Eventually.

There’s a line of clocks where each hour is a different bird and the chime at each hour is what that bird sounds like. It has a light sensor to control its volume so at night it’s very quiet, never gonna give wake you up. Completely analog, for better and for worse.

It’s not adjustable so I’m not sure it’s a perfect fit, but it’s lovely. They’ve been around for ages, I had one since I was a kid, I’m surprised they’re still available.

Edit: it does tick like most analog clocks, which could be a deal breaker with ADHD. I know it’s sometimes a bother for me.

Police, this guy right here.

I assume Windows is inexplicably a typo of QI?

I totally agree. I believe they make some effort to get their facts right, but it’s not their highest priority by any stretch. I also suspect they might sometimes leave crucial details on the cutting room floor.

In this instance I get the impression that Sandi actually meant the arms are still swung but just kept straight, like a Minecraft run. But then Bill interpreted it as the arms kept straight and motionless, like that one Seinfeld episode, and Sandi didn’t correct him.

once you’re up to a steady speed it doesn’t make so much difference.

[Citation needed]. You’re still fighting gravity so being lighter makes each step easier. There is also less air drag (but I don’t know how much difference this makes).

I have seen claims that this isn’t actually true, swinging our arms to counterbalance the legs is less efficient than just keeping them in place.

Where did I see this claim? Why, it was in this peer-reviewed scientific paper: https://youtu.be/-QW25fJ34nA , where by “peer-reviewed” I mean filmed with a live studio audience, and by “scientific paper” I mean segment of a TV panel show.

So uhhh yeah I’m not buying it but I can’t be bothered to check their sources.

I think (not 100% sure) that UEFI is a replacement for BIOS. All modern computers use UEFI.

People still colloquially call it “BIOS” because it serves a similar purpose, but there is a technical difference.

It appears that your habit for pedantic comments is as strong as ever!

Even your title isn’t the true beginning. Before the terminal, there was just a printer. Teletype, was it?

(Comedy answer)

Seems like you have a tendency to get terrible jobs. Try the George Costanza method: whatever your instincts tell you to do, do the opposite! You’ll be working at the New York Yankees in no time.

I followed a number of guides to try to get it to work. Including doing that. No dice.

I still think it’s probably user error on my part, but I’m still shocked there was no command to effectively “force run an unattended upgrade now” to test that it works correctly.

The OP did it in the wrong order. First do update to refresh, then do upgrade to install.

There are even better ways built into the shell, but I can never remember any of them. I also never thought of history|grep, I think I might actually remember that one. Thanks!

It’s through Update Manager (mintupdate) for me, but I definitely feel like the happy guy looking out at the nice view.
