  • the scientology is approved by people like Tom Cruise. Might be better avoiding though, even if Mission Impossible is enjoyable.

    A thought

    Why do people still recommend Thinkpads for Linux when there are Linux-oriented manufacturers now?
  • not sure what you mean, but I find that Dells are also cheap (second hand) easy to find, reliable, solid and easy to maintain (like the hardware is easy to access for cleaning and replacing/updating).

    edit : I'm using a latitude 5470 with lubuntu. I bought it second in a pawn shop a few years ago and added some RAM last year, it still runs like a charm.

  • Why do people still recommend Thinkpads for Linux when there are Linux-oriented manufacturers now?
  • for a lot of people (me included), a cheap second hand thinkpad (or dell pro) with a light distro would be more than enough to cover their computing needs for years.

  • Making couple friends in your 30s when child free?
  • yeah, it's more about finding open minded people with empathy (and be open minded and empathic ourself) more than finding people just like us. Embracing differences, respecting and understanding eachother is key. There are plenty of people out there who keep their kids to themself and have plenty of other interests, it's easier to meet them if we don't push them away in the first place (just like they don't push us way fro being child free).

  • Humans, apparently, throw like gods
  • it is not such a stretch. according to Oxford dictionary, to throw is :

    1.propel (something) with force through the air by a movement of the arm and hand.

    which is a very human concept. We then can not judge other species ability to do it (exept primates). just like we can not say animals don't have languages because thay don't speak english.

    2.send suddenly into a particular state or condition.

    The archer fish is then very efficient at sending water into a particular state or condition with high accuracy.

    the octopus for exemple has been observed throwing stuff around.

    edit : elephants do it to. and you can find plenty of bird examples.

  • I just started using Linux... any great tips?
  • do not copy paste commands you do not uderstand from shady forums in hope it will solve your problem :)

  • Humans, apparently, throw like gods
  • the archerfish can accurately spit jets of water to hunt inscects ... I'm sure there are much more examples of other species accurately throwing things around. we're not that special ...

    The social ideology of the motorcar - Ecologise
    ecologise.in The social ideology of the motorcar - Ecologise

    “The worst thing about cars is that they are like castles or villas by the sea: luxury goods invented for the exclusive pleasure of a very rich minority, and which in conception and nature were never intended for the people”. So starts Andre Gorz’s justly famous 1973 essay which remains as relevant ...

  • Sitting issues
  • thanks ! Love the diy link :)

  • Sitting issues
  • I don't think you've got to get check by a therapist every time you get numb limbs from staying still for too long. that's just a pinched nerve or some blood flow restriction from some presure on my butt :) Just a posture/sit issue. haha, I'll be fine, don't worry.

  • Sitting issues
  • Mu cushion is one filled with grain (it's confortable but a little small I reckon), which is laying on a carpet, I'll look into that (maybe add a yoga mat ?). Hopefully I'll get used to it. thanks

    Sitting issues

    Hi all, how do you manage to sit for long periods of time ?

    I'm having trouble staying still after 25/30mn. After that my right leg gets so numb, I've got to move it every once in a while. I'm not sure it really is an issue, but even if I try ti stay focused on my meditation while moving, it's always a distraction. Fyi : I sit crossed legs with my butt on a cushion.

    Thanks !

    It's harmful to do night shifts and (a few days later) day shifts right?
  • night shifts would be harmful anyhow (edit : it fucks up your sleep cycle as well as your social life)

  • It's harmful to do night shifts and (a few days later) day shifts right?
  • night shifts would be harmful anyhow

  • even on fuckcars people still like cars,... damn
  • that's the bloody truth right here !

  • even on fuckcars people still like cars,... damn
  • Yeah, Apparently.

    All I read is "I feel attacked, stop tellimg me I can change, It's the government fault if I drive a massive SUV everywhere, [sobbing], I'm not gonna change shit though, [sobbing] I'm a victim" or "I don't like cars but I mean ..".

    Just bloody whinings.

  • even on fuckcars people still like cars,... damn
  • you're actually the only one answering the question hahaha, thanks, that makes sens !

  • what fucking mouvement, lol ? This is a discussion thread .....

  • even on fuckcars people still like cars,... damn
  • indeed, "movement" haha. let me know if you find it :)

  • even on fuckcars people still like cars,... damn
  • You will aways find exceptions (like emergency and medical sercices, transporting people who cannot walk or bike, transporting goods ...) that's why I said "most of the time". A park ranger (edit : I meant " could use") use a car for her/his duties and go back home to her/his personal business with public transport. Most situations could be handled without a car, and the few left could be handled with much smaller vehicles (and should be looked at to minimize the use of car to a maximum. I'm sure a ranger could do some of her/his job riding a dirtbike)

  • even on fuckcars people still like cars,... damn

    Why are some people here on fuckcars still debating on what the best car is ? I mean, most of the time the best car is no car.

    edit : that was a genuine question. I wasn't expecting such wrath from car enthusiasts.

    As a human person I have human interests, like immersing myself into large bodies of water or laying pigments on paper in an organized way.
