What are the best proprietary/paid apps for linux?
  • I had to switch from kdenlive to DaVinci Resolve recently and it breaks my heart. I'm by no means a professional, but I am a heavy user who is frequently sifting throughout footage. Unfortunately, crashes are still very common for a power user. After encountering a memory corruption bug for the second time that resulted in lost project work (despite saving to disk!!!), I had to switch to something better.

  • A man in the street offers you the following choice:
  • I played this game for Christmas with my parents! For fun, they offered me $10 or a scratch-off. For the heck of it, I took the scratch-off and won $40. With the way my luck went last month, I'd have to pick the lottery ticket.

  • Family heirlooms
  • Last month, the power adapter to my router died out of nowhere. I wasted a ton of time troubleshooting literally everything else other than the power adapter because I've never had one die before the actual device itself.

    Of course none of the other adapters I had on hand fit. I had to order a new one...

  • Youtube Premium
  • I've also been with Premium since the YouTube Red days. It was nice to have peace of mind of no ads on my TV (didn't need PiHole) and mobile devices (iOS was wrestling with device adblockers for a while). I was grandfathered into the old pricing model until recently. It's still not that bad per person, but if they raise it too much more, I'm gonna bail.

  • Alabama Republicans, despite Supreme Court ruling, reject call for second majority Black House district
  • It's up to the other branches (typically the executive branch) to enforce Supreme Court rulings. Back in the day, when states were way more independent, that'd probably mean mobilizing the National Guard. Nowadays, all the Federal gov has to do is withhold federal subsidies and any state (especially Alabama) will cave quickly.

    Unclogging a bathroom sink without removing the P-Trap

    Hi all. Anybody have any tips or tricks on making a bathroom sink drain faster without going through the process of taking it apart, cleaning it, and putting it back together?

    Normally when my bathroom sink starts to drain slowly, I remove the P-trap and push all the gunk through the bottom into a bucket using a metal rod. Now that I might be responsible for cleaning out several bathroom sinks, I'm starting to dread this process far more.

    Drano works OK and makes the sinks drain a bit faster, but it usually gets bad pretty quickly again. Any tools I should be investing in for minor stoppages like this?

  • I also work for Big Corp and you hit the nail on the head. I saw big career growth this past year after I started working on a very visible project vs. when I was working on the small, technical stuff.

    Now that I think about it, it was the same way at Midsize Corp too...
