Its Ubuntu 24.04. When I started it, it took quite awhile and then said “there as a problem, please log out”.

Now that I’ve got it started (where I’m posting from now), it still refuses to arrange my monitors. And I have no idea what this 5th, 13.3" monitor is supposed to be.

It looks like my issues are related to this hardware. I guess that’s understandable. I thought this hardware would be transparent to the OS, and apparently it’s not.

If I hit apply here, it will fail and put them back in a line. I’ll also get around 4 fps and no cursor on the additional monitors.

I installed a fresh copy of, I believe, Debian. Wayland, for some reason, couldn’t handle 4 monitors, with one above the other three.

Not the issue I expected on a fresh install. Oh, and the biggest issue I had with Windows was copied straight into Linux. I want my (single) taskbar on a monitor that isn’t my primary.

I’m currently back to Windows. It was already going to be a rough transition, and missing the ideas I was looking for while also adding complications just hasn’t made it worth it.

I don’t know that Ukraine could have done this well in 2014, even with help. They had 8 years to prepare for the next round that they knew was coming.

Dude. Paragraphs.

It always takes a year or two for the business to really feel it. First, it takes consumers awhile to visit and realize the prices are so high. Most people aren’t going to McDonald’s every week. And sometimes it takes a few visits before they really notice the sting.

Eventually, the place just gets a reputation for being pricey, and people slowly stop going. But it’s a frog in a boiling pot thing, and of course the executives search for any other reason besides their own pricing decisions from 18 months ago.

Have you ever noticed in those surveys they always ask “what can we do better?” And the answers usually don’t include “be cheaper”.

Rights not enumerated… are no longer rights.

Calling the cops is what made it self-inflicted. If you’re white, they probably just shoot your dog. (No guarantees.)

It doesn’t help that the vegans are right. The meat industry is a nightmare, terrible for the environment, and pretty bad for our health.

It’s insane that most Americans eat meat every day.

If I could put 100% tax on meat tomorrow I would, but that’s political suicide, so it’ll never happen. It’d be easier to adjust than you think. There are plenty of delicious vegetarian options, and it’d be a lot easier to choose those if they were more common.

I eat meat because it’s culturally acceptable, delicious, ubiquitous, and I don’t believe I can make a noticeable difference. But that doesn’t mean I think it’s right.

Jon Stewart. Someone go pull him and make him do it. There’s no one better to take down Trump.

But this would kill the Republican party and then likely split the Dems in two. Is that really what we want?

You need to take advantage of code switching, similar to how you’ll use curse words in some contexts, but not in others. Or retail language vs casual.

They should have some intuitive idea of when to speak Portuguese and when to speak English. If you’re mixing within the same context, that will be difficult.

But there’s not much news because of heavy censorship by China.

If you drink tea or coffee, even irregularly, a kettle is worth having.

And a pour over is better than Keurig crap. I’d recommend using paper filters as well. Most of the time I just rinse the pour over when finished.

Generally I grind 2-3 servings of beans at a time and store the rest in a glass container in the fridge.

In the end, the effort is pretty comparable to a Keurig machine, but better quality, more flexibility, and you don’t have to deal with/buy pods or a machine.

First, clean your microwave. If things are picking up flavors from your microwave, that’s a you thing, not a microwave thing.

Second, just cover things that you put into the microwave. You can get reusable covers, or you can often use a paper towel.

Third, a kettle is still better than a microwave for water.

I get what you mean, but nearly everyone is allergic to mosquito bites. That’s why they itch.

Rather than particular communities, I tend to just do all - last 12 hours.

If we’re waiting for one party to collapse, it should probably be the fascists.

Yeah, maybe they’ll make $50/he. And maybe cops will fly.

Judges are smarter than that. So are juries.
