Well, at least next year you'll meet a dental hygenist with a spatula tattooed on her arm

Being able to make notes about users like you can on Mastodon.

Check Caitlin Doughty's "Ask A Mortician" videos, in addition to some of the other suggestions.

 

Last night I had a "back in school" dream, only in this one, the McElroy brothers were helping me cheat on a project. Unsurprisingly, Justin was the most helpful. What weird ones have y'all had?

NVIDIA

Welp, there's your problem. I have an NVIDIA card as well and it's been the source of at least 95% of my Linux headaches.

I've tried a few distros and Linux Mint was definitely the most "just works" for me. Make sure you're using the proprietary NVIDIA drivers, regardless of what option you choose. Currently I use SpiralLinux (Debian with a few tweaks) because I really like the BTRFS snapshots and fell in love with KDE during my distro-hopping, but Mint is what I would recommend to the vast majority of people.

Wow, the 200m freestyle, the 500m freestyle, and the 1650m freestyle, huh? Did she ever compete in anything else, or were those numbers perhaps cherry-picked to make the situation look more dramatic than it actually is? Because if you look at her results holistically, she's a very good swimmer, but she's clearly not dominating 100% of the time the way she's been portrayed.

At the NCAA competition where Thomas won one (1) race that conservatives cried and shit their pants over, a cis woman named Kate Douglass set 18 new records. Lia Thomas set zero new records. And crunching the rest of the numbers bears this out: she was a good swimmer before and after transition, but she's not some unbeatable powerhouse that cis women have no chance at winning against.

I've used EyeBuyDirect before and they were alright. It's been a couple years tho.

Seconding (or third-ing, or twelfth-ing) the recommendation for Linux Mint, but also gonna throw one in for MX Linux if the hardware is older.

Also: you might like Caitlin Doughty/Ask A Mortician's videos and/or books. A lot of discussion about different cultures' approaches to death and how people's attitudes have evolved over time.
