I love cilantro too, but now I have to wonder... What if we're not the ones getting the "true" taste?

I'll take my blissful ignorance with some cilantro on top.

I know your comment didn't necessarily appear out of nowhere, but it reminds me of that subreddit "skamtebord"

I miss that one sometimes...

Those that hate LGBT just can't stop talking about hate and spite.

Don't forget their weird obsession with the genitals of complete strangers. It consumes their ability to ponder things that matter.

Meta justified the executive pay increase by stating that their cash compensation was below market rates.

"Local serial killer justified his latest triple-homicide by stating that his body count was below the national average."

I'm so glad someone else remembers that! It's always my follow up when hearing the Velma line.

Loved watching Johnny Bravo as a kid

Goddamn... You can't get any more succinct than these two comments. Nicely put.

I learned it in elementary as well, and I'm glad I did. I wish I had more opportunities to use it because I also use it only for my signature. It's stupid to force kids to learn it, but I also hope it doesn't disappear in the future, outside of calligraphy.

Veering slightly off topic, but I wanted to rant about it. I absolutely loathe the trend of putting each and every word on screen, one-by-one, as they're spoken.

As someone with ADHD it's possibly the most distracting thing with this vertical video trash format. Even worse when it's in the center of the screen, and worse yet when it's moving, as in this one with the huge bounce animation. Captions are useful, and vital for some people, but this...

And it seems they use "AI" for it, because it frequently gets homophones and other subtleties wrong, so now the kids who are raised by this stuff are going to have some awful spelling skills.

Alright, rant over. Gonna go yell at some clouds.

Next time try not buying two of them. The additional $80,000 is life-changing!

That has been a dream of mine for well over a decade. When I (rarely) play TF2 it's with bots only, since they have all the vanilla stuff.

I miss the times when an entire team would do a Scout rush, with only the 3 vanilla weapons, just for the hell of it. It was always complete chaos. You can do it with bots, but it's very tedious, and they only run along the ground from node to node. Give me a dozen Scouts flying off the rooftops spamming x5x5x5x5!

Also, does anyone else wish someone would bring back his crazy legs when he does the midair jump?

That shit would hardly stop a soccer ball kicked by a child.

Maybe it would protect them from an fpv, assuming the drone team forgot to strap the bomb to it.

I'm feeling as hopeless as you (probably) are, but every fall has to start somewhere. Just give it a chance.

 

Let's assume we're not stopped at a traffic signal.

This is only anecdotal, but I heard once that you're not supposed to stop altogether, rather drive at a slower pace so as to let it pass quickly. The person said what was more important is that drivers don't make sudden changes to their behavior. An EMT driver can more safely maneuver if they don't have to predict what any one knucklehead will do the moment they get close.

If this is wrong or needs clarification, please enlighten me!

 

TL;DR: Have a very expensive laptop and want to make sure I can create a partition on two SSDs in RAID 0 without messing up everything.

Hi everyone!

I'm pretty new to Linux and I'd like to get Mint running on my Windows machine. I used Ubuntu way back in maybe 2010 and I didn't really get why it was so great, except for "holy shit look at the kickass desktop cube!" I also use Arch By The Way with my Steam Deck, but that barely counts as "using" Linux.

These days I'm much more privacy- and FOSS-minded (not to mention more tech-savvy and comfortable with the CLI since becoming a web dev) so I'm ready and excited to take it more seriously. I definitely want to keep Windows on here to keep a more reliable option for playing games.

Now to the meat and potatoes: my laptop came with this storage configuration (capture from the product page): From my limited understanding of RAID 0, the two m.2 drives are used as if they're one, with the data being "striped" across them. Would that lead to any issues when I create a primary partition for Mint? Maybe I'm just paranoid, but the last thing I want to do is ruin my laptop.

Here's what Disk Management shows, in case the additional info. is needed:

I would really appreciate any advice y'all can offer!
