I Spotted Nessie!

I’m starting to regret not having a separate home partition.

I’ve been on Manjaro for years, but have been considering switching to Endeavour or CachyOS (or maybe vanilla Arch, but I’m lazy). Looks like it may be time to ditch Manjaro.

It’s beautiful

I prefer metric, it just makes more sense. Also having to add fractions in order to measure something is maddening. 10 1/4" + 4 17/32" vs. 260mm + 115mm

I get this is an endurance test, but this sounds miserable. Not being able to lie down for 3 months would be awful.

I first encountered kidz bop about 2010ish when my wife’s sister was playing it for her kids at a family gathering. I’m still scarred from the experience. That day I vowed if I ever had kids that travesty would never be allowed in my house. Since having a daughter I’ve endured Frozen, Taylor Swift, and Kpop demon hunters. But the evil that is Kidz Bop has never graced a speaker in our house!

It’s the English way

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I’ll definitely look into these.

Thanks for the recc. I’ve used syncthing for syncing my phone with my PC and it works great. Though sync is not quite what I want since any file deletions on the PC get propagated to the folder on the server. Though maybe there is a way to change this behavior in syncthing?

Never heard of of Kopia. Will check it out.

“Maybe we should describe bacteria by their individual features and give that group a name”

We already do that. The function and genes of bacteria are what defines a bacterial species (or genus, family, or order). I do agree that the Wikipedia definition of “species” doesn’t strictly apply to bacteria due to asexual reproduction and HGT. But it is still a useful tool for classifying bacteria.

Giving it a name makes talking about the organism easier. If I know that a person is infected with Staphylococcus aureus I know that the characteristics and treatment are going to be very different than if they were infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Giving it a species name is a lot easier than saying they are infected with a coagulase positive, gram positive coccus.

My girlfriend and I followed the stinkymeat and stinkyfeet projects eagerly anticipating each update. The feet one was especially horrifying. I’m surprised he didn’t end up in the hospital.

I also feel old

zombocom! Came here to say the same thing. I still pull it up once or twice a year for inspiration. You can do anything! The unattainable is unknown!
