This whole thread is wrong lol. Sampling is musicianship. Simplifying a pop banger from the 60s down to its essence is creativity.

Does she know Buckethead? Can you draw her hanging out with Buckethead?

There is a monopoly card about this. Bank error in your favor.

Good but expensive. I really appreciated them doing the organizing for me. Unfortunately, I had trouble keeping up with the stuff they sent me and a lot of it went bad in the fridge.

The best part was all the recipes for sauces. I never make sauces on my own and I still don't, but it was great making them when they gave you all the ingredients and told you what to do.

Yes they do last a long time. They can be a great option. Just not easy to fix if something goes wrong.

You don't have to clean a regular chain that often, but it will last longer if you do. A regular chain is perfectly fine to use in the rain / snow/ etc.

In my mind, I know the chain and cassettes will wear out, so when they do, I would rather have ones I can replace myself. But an internal geared hub is a great option as well. It is lower maintenance, but with the trade off that it is difficult to work on.

The six classical machines.

The ones that maintain a whitelist of connections are the hardest to get through

I thought it changed a bunch through the years. Small changes tho

 

So October is coming, and this is as good a time as any to switch to linux, but it is somewhat of an overwhelming task. I'm already used to desktop linux, but I am NOT good at migrating apps and settings and stuff. So I'll have some blindspots. I thought perhaps we could come up with some kind of collaborative outline for how to do it. Here are my ideas.

  • Make backups of all data.
  • Install linux as a dual boot / new machine.
  • Troubleshoot any hardware / software issues.
  • Make some lists on windows of apps
    -- Apps you absolutely need to have / replace
    -- Apps that would be nice to have / replace
    -- Apps that you don't need to migrate over.
  • Migrate user data, files, etc., to linux
  • Install apps on linux
  • For each app on the lists
    -- export settings and data from windows
    -- import settings and data into linux

At each step along the way, you can check things off the list.

Not everyone can switch to linux, but for those who want to, would this be a good procedure? What would you add to it?
