But not for his food.

Anyone want my 12 year old old Ubuntu install DVD before I toss it out? No? Your loss.
(lemmy.world)
I'm a dinosaur who still uses optical media. Y'all just watch. CDs are gonna make a comeback in the next 15 years.
Telling myself that helps me sleep at night.
This is the DVD I burned with my roommate's laptop in late 2012. The hard drive in my laptop crapped out. The local repair shop couldn't recover my data, and the sticker with the key had been worn away too badly to read. A Windows 7 license in the day was really expensive, and I never heard of buying retail keys. I definitely didn't know enough about piracy to find a cracked ISO. At this point, I'd heard of Linux, but knew basically nothing about it. I just assumed it was for wizards with beards two meters long who stay at the tops of their towers reading ancient tomes and channeling the spirits of lost zeroes and ones.
So I bought a disk for my laptop (fun fact - that thing lives in my super slim PS3 now) and dove headfirst into Ubuntu just because at the time, it was said to be the friendliest distro for newcomers. The thought of using bash scared me at the time. Great times. But in my mind, the best way to learn sometimes is to have no alternatives.
These kinds of jokes aren't funny. Y'all need to conduct yourselves better.
My wife was born in 1993, her father was born in 1947, and his father was born in 1902.
My great-grandmother died last year at 100 years old. She was born in 1923. So when my great grandmother was born, my father in law's dad was 21. My four generations back is less time than my wife's two. My father in law retired from trucking before my wife graduated high school.
My father in law is still kicking. He turns 78 next month. We give him hell a lot for his age. I'll ask him what it was like to see the creation of the world or if dinosaurs were cool.
Born in '92, wife born in '93. We own our home and work day jobs. The pay is fine. I mean, we own our house so I guess we're doing better than a lot of others our age.
If I buy a thing, I go out of my way to buy something repairable. I'm not swapping board components, mind you, but I can swap a laptop battery, change my engine oil, replace a home thermostat, you get it. Plumbing, I refuse to do. I'll do minor electrical work, but plumbing is a whole animal. It's not a science. It's wizardry. But small maintenance items I do all day. Last weekend, I cleaned my gutters and trimmed some small trees branches away from my house. That was probably $500 worth of work I did in an hour.
I just want to play my video games, eat good food, wrench on my aging car, and also be in bed by 9.
I do spin up a CD sometimes for the fun of it.
I won't call us old yet, but I feel age creeping up on me. My heels hurt all the time and my knees don't take going down stairs as well as they once did. Getting fat didn't help, but I am down 25 pounds since early November. Got that going for me. And I did climb the stairs down the Space Needle at nearly 300 pounds. I've still got a little fight left in me.
But man, I'm not looking forward to 40.
The dock auto hides lol
Exactly. Even if he leaves office in four years and we never hear from him again, the ripple effects of his presidencies will take decades to unfold and undo.
I bought six thousand dozen eggs back when they were cheap in 2006 and froze them. Y'all are suckers for paying $10 for a carton. Should have bought them back when a carton was 84¢. Fools, the lot of you.
And as a multi-monitor user, I'm finding that part to be true. I've got my panels set up on each of my monitors exactly the way I want. Plus, controlling the wallpaper independently on each monitor as a built-in feature is dope.
My guy, it's a rule in this community to keep it clean. I sat on it for a while because I wasn't sure if it violated that rule. So I spoilered the punchline and justified it for the mods to decide whether this flies, not to protect the average Lemmy user. Check my comment history, and you'll see that I'm completely unafraid to swear on the internet.
Ruined it by including it in "don't." That's a missed opportunity
I still like the look and feel of GNOME a lot so I spent a little time putting it together that way. I want a simple desktop with small elements to maximize real estate for windows. I also use the small taskbar on my work computer for the same reason. But with my work computer, I do show window titles because I usually have at least 5 workbooks open at once so it's nice to see which is which when I need to switch between them.
I love KDE's application launcher. It feels very Windows XP with the way it sorts things. It just makes complete sense.
Century Gothic may not be the most readable font in the world, but I think it has an old school charm to it.
The orange dog is a dog's spirit in a body that looks like a cat. Don't be fooled.
Or, as my wife said, sun's hot.

You'll be pushin' up daisies real soon.
Four years before the release of the first iPhone. Impressive.
I took medication between '09 and '14. I got off of it because it was hella expensive. I adapted routines to keep me on track, and it worked for a long time.
But lately, I'm not doing well. And this community and a couple different YouTube channels helped me realize that I'm not doing well, and I need help. I'm forgetting things more than ever. I leave keys in cars. I leave doors unlocked. I forget meetings. I am several hundred emails behind at work. I am ignoring responsibilities because I'm feeling behind and overwhelmed. I go to the grocery store and come home with fifty bucks worth of junk food I never intended to buy, if I even go grocery shopping at all. Conversations feel like an out of body experience. I miss fully half of what is said to me.
It came to a head earlier this week. My wife was out of town and I took the dogs to the park myself. I left the front door open while I was gone for two hours. Fortunately, nobody came inside (checked the cameras) and the cats didn't find a way out. But it was terrifying.
I'd already had a psych eval in early September and got my report back about five weeks ago, but I procrastinated on calling my doctor to get a prescription. I did finally see him about a ten days ago, and he said he'd prescribe me some Adderall once the psychologist's office faxed him the report so I called them to have that done. By Tuesday this week, I hadn't heard back about scripts, and after that incident with the door, I needed to know something. I needed to be a squeaky wheel.
Fast forward to today, and I have my medicine in hand. I really hope to see results in the next few months once we get my dose figured out. I'm just so tired of living in a mental fog all the time.
Last time, I felt so broken because I needed a drug to function like a normal human. These days, I've shed myself of that line of thought. If I can't make my own neurotransmitters, store bought is fine.
