Company vehicles are generally abused and poorly maintained. Doesn't matter what brand it is.

On the first attempt secure boot was enabled in the bios, but not password enabled in the mint install. The last attempt, I set a secure boot password in the mint install.

Third attempt, I used my Windows USB A media installer to delete the partitions, then rebooted to install Mint again. Worked fine until reboot, it asked to store the MDK or rsk key in a basic blue screen. I didn't know what to do, so I escaped the screen. Result was the Dell logo boot loop

The connection to the archive to download packages was extremely slow, less than 1Mbps, so it took an hour or two to install. First install, I ran the package updater, and when it was done, I rebooted. Would not boot back into Mint, just a loop of the Dell logo. 2nd attempt to install Disney fix

Linux is just an amateur attempt at trying to be as functional as Windows. Every attempt at trying to install Linux that I've done over the past 30 years did not end well. This time I tried installing Linux Mint 22.2 on my 7 year old laptop.

Megaplex in 2030 depends on how much vacation time I'm allowed to use in the first year and a half that this job.

The Spots of Black @shirblackspots.bsky.social · 12d

Reason for no Megaplex in 2029 and no ANW in 2030 is because I would likely have a new job after retiring from my current job at the end of 2028

Walmart and other grocery stores sell pork & beans in a can. Campbell's brand, sometimes even as a private label.

I guess someone unfriending another is far easier than the person talking to the one they unfriended about their behaviors so that the person can know what they need to work on to fix the issue they had with them, rather than removing them as a friend and leaving them in the dark.

In this administration, making sure grants and loans that go to projects, don't include DEI in their planning is coding for "That funding better not help non-whites in any form or fashion". It'll eventually morph into being allowed to help "white and Christian only"

Dang, that's a lot of subs. I try to keep mine to no more than 1 a month, subscribed to 6 months at a time (basically around 12-13 streamers), consisting of the streamers I watch the most.

Gosh, that sounds a lot like my mom. She tithed like it was mandatory, because she feared evil things would happen to her if she didn't.

There's a friend on VRChat that talks about the voices in his head on occasion, he went through a depressive period a couple years back, which had similar behaviors to how my mom behaved all my life. I do believe he does take meds for stabilizing his moods.

The extreme fear of doing something wrong, and if they did X, it would appease God, also the general level of fairly strong paranoia. Also, mom has a problem of hearing voices in her head, and she reacts to them. She's currently on meds, and in a nursing home.

I never saw the post, but if I understand it was about mental illness, most deeply religious people have some level of mental illness. My mother was a prime example of this. Also a friend on VRChat with identical behaviors as my mom, and a couple people at work.
