I said it before and I'll say it again, Linux mint is the work horse of all the distros! Its easy, it usually just works, it's the distro you pick when you want to get work done.

I have been using Linux for 2 decade's now and have tried all the major distros. Somehow I keep getting back to mint because I don't spend too much time to get it just right, and I actually spend time on my work.

I honestly hope this will result is a strong alliance between the EU and Canada and if possible other countries. It's kind of our own fault for relying on the US for too long, we need to make sure we can protect ourselves without the US.

My wife makes this hair potion with rosemary, you boil it for an hour or so any strain the liquid.

I'm glad I know now, I also learned when the stove gets too hot it does shut off. Because it was off when I went downstairs to get a drink. It smelled pretty burned.

Absolutely agree with you my friend

The world isn't this black and white, so you can't just compare things at a basic level like this

For example the Netherlands has intuition fee's for universities. It's about 2500 euro per student per year. I'd much rather have it free, but it's still nothing compared to the 50K or 100K some people pay for an American University

Didn't know that type, now I might have to get one

Let me give you some real advice, buy a Casio G-SHOCK, pick a version with tiny solar panels. Seriously, they will last a very long time, no need to change a battery or synch it. Strapped my watch on like a decade ago, still works without any maintenance or anything.

Lemmy kind of sucks, that's why I like it. Reddit to me was like beer and Lemmy is like non alcoholic beer. If stop drinking a non alcoholic beer is fine, but I don't really need one every day.

The US banned Huawei, is close to banning TP-Link, so there is definitely a fear over Chinese spyware. It's a very real risk, just like Russian anti virus software (Kaspersky) had been banned recently.

But even if you don't believe it's about spyware TikTok should still be banned for economic reasons. China basically blocks all non Chinese socialmedia apps, so why would we accept Chinese social media? The playing field should be equal, banning TikTok makes it more equal.

I don't really believe Gaza has much to do with it, you can find the same content on YouTube or X or other platforms.

That I didn't know, the healthcare system was very different when I was a kid myself. We have made it a lot more commercial on the last 20 years.

But why is dental health so bad? Is going to the dentist very expensive? I don't have dental insurance and I pay about a 100 euros to get my teeth checked and cleaned yearly. But for most people it's about 50 for a normal check-up.

Edit 2 It's 17:15 now and it has been on 0 minutes for 3 full minutes....

 

In the last six months a lot changed, we moved to a new house, my wife had a baby (girl) and my son turned 4 and started school.

I'm not really sure if this is the reason but for the last month or so, my son has more and more temper tantrums. Basically any time we tell him no, he gets very frustrated and angry. Sometimes shouting or pushing me. It's pretty new behavior and I really don't like it. I have talked to him after the tantrums and he usually agrees he shouldn't behave like this, but so far it keeps coming back. One other thing he does is just ignoring us whenever we ask him something he doesn't want to do, pretending he can't hear us.

The last thing I want to do is be angry or use threads (like I'm counting to 3). But sometimes it's the only way to get him to do something (like getting dressed for school).

I would really want to have a better way to communicate without the negativity.

 

For years I was on Reddit and the last few years as a new dad I really liked daddit, it was a very nice community of dads that would share advice and help each other. It's the only part of Reddit I miss and never found a substitute for.

So I hope dadvice can grow into a community like that.

Please share your stories, dad jokes, ask for help, etc.
