For the most part Americans are so desensitized to the gain Violence that it’s not something most of us think about much.

I’ve grown up in a post Columbine world, and mass shootings have been a part of my life since it started. They’re just a really unfortunate part of life here that won’t change unless there’s a massive culture shift.

If they write shows that have stories that neatly wrap up at the end of 3 seasons then it’s better for everyone. Nobody needs another Greys Anatomy that goes for 22 seasons beating a dead horse year after year.

The Good Place was a great example of this. From the beginning they knew they wanted 4 seasons, and wrote the show to end after 4. No need for anything more

Where careers and people aren’t. A cheap house in the middle of nowhere doesn’t do you any good if you’re commuting 3+ hours each direction every day

NdGT is a pretentious twat who needs to just shut up and sit down.

I swear the only time he’s relevant is when he’s bitching about some science fiction movie not being 100% accurate

That works for single drive systems or 2 drive systems, but starts to become a problem when you have 5+ drives with no raid, so important applications can be installed to the faster, higher priority drive, while less critical ones can be installed to a slower one.

It’s one of those big things that is hard to adjust to coming from Windows.

Windows just doesn’t use the terminal and would rather you launch it from the start menu.

I’m super excited for Bearman, i really hope he has a decent race. Some points would be amazing

Banking tech is still run on FORTRAN and COBAL. It’s ancient and pretty much can’t be upgraded. Until there’s a major push for new technologies across all banking it’ll keep being this bad

Even if it’s an NVIDIA problem, it’s still just a “Linux” problem for a non-experienced user

I’d still prefer it to the terminal. I get to choose installation locations and it’s easier to configure.

+1 to all these issues.

I tried a similar setup and eventually gave up after the monitor problems. Having 4 displays with different resolutions and refresh types just doesn’t seem to work at all.

I’m not a super casual user, but there’s no way in hell I’m going to try to dive into source to try to understand a bug in my OS. I’m just going to work around it and never think of it again.

Making users make a very major decision before they even install an OS is definitely not a good way to retain users, especially when there’s someone saying they’re wrong no matter what they pick
