I had a friend years ago who was freaked out by little people. One day we were outside the library and a little person walked past in a crowd, and she just started crying.

She didn’t have anything against them, and she always was worried she’d make them feel upset, it was just a weird response thing in her brain or something.

Attack on Titan anime better than the manga. I love them both, but the musical cues, the animation, the voice acting all take the anime way over.

Where I am the lorikeets and rosellas are often together, like double dating

In response to people saying they want a written article and not a video, you said to watch the video faster. That’s why the dislikes.

Kitchen window. About 2x3 metres if I remember right.

We had a trampoline in our backyard, outside the kitchen so mum could watch us while cooking or whatever. There was a huge hill (our house was in a bit of a mountainous area), and we decided to throw some rocks down the hill and bounce them off the trampoline… but we were uncoordinated 10 year olds so we missed every time. And it was just a bunch of little stones gathering in our backyard.

Then I found one rock. Pretty big, had to lift it with two hands and shot-put it down the hill. That was the one that we finally landed on the trampoline. And it bounced right through the kitchen window.

Damn it feels good to be a gangsta

I typically log in to facebook a couple times a month to see if anyone sent me any messages.

But then I check it frequently during crises. Our town (small regional town out in the bush) has a community group that shares location and severity of bushfires or storms, local power outages, missing animals, emergency calls, criminal activity (break ins, theft of equipment, suspicious behaviour like unfamiliar vehicles parking outside their house, etc).

Not anymore

OpenTyrian and OpenTTD were my go-to games for many years. Both are easily found for Mint packaged with free assets.

Minetest, Mindustry, 0AD. I can’t speak for how well they’d run on Core 2 but I think they’d be fine.

OpenRA will get you some classic Command and Conquer. You can run them as Appimages on Mint, and on launch they give they option to download freely available assets.

FreeCiv if you want to get lost in some old school Civilisation.

GZdoom you can play with the FreeDoom assets.

And then there are some open source engines but you need to pair with commercial assets: CorsixTH for Theme Hospital ScummVM can run a whole bunch of older adventure games (some might even be free if you have a gog account) OpenRCT2 for Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 DevilutionX for og Diablo

Blast Em. https://www.retrodev.com/blastem/

Standalone (not retro arch). Modern emulator (don’t think it’s updated anymore though). Linux support. I think it’s also available on Flathub if you want to get it via there.

Or…

Ares. https://ares-emu.net

Multi system emulator originally developed by Near (rip). Yes, it plays more systems than you are looking for, but it is simple, standalone (no retroarch/libretro), very good, Linux support, and still updated (latest version 23 Jan). Also available on Flathub if you want it there.

I suggest to try these emulators, they’re modern and they aim for cycle accuracy, rather than finding a way to keep a 15 year old emulator running.

Something like wanting to change the D&D licensing so that they can share in any profits made by 3rd parties, anyone making user content, adventures, etc.

Me. A flatpak Firefox means not adding a repo to install non-free codecs. A flatpak steam means not installing a hideous number of 32 bit libs. Can’t remember what software it is because I rarely use it, but another flatpak prevents me needing to build it from source.

If you want to know what it linked to, someone posted the link in another community. It seemed to be a Chinese landing site (looks like something along the lines of a “this domain could be yours”), with a bunch of affiliate porn ads (read: 88px X 88px animated gifs) like you might have seen in the mid 2000s.

I couldn’t read any of it because it’s in Chinese, but that’s the gist of it.

You must.

Spot on

But if they used goods are of significantly higher quality than ikea?

when you can install the likes of PopOs within 15 minutes, or Tumbleweed in 30 (just using those examples because I’ve installed them recently), then just install it and see goes it goes.

Or as you said, if a distro has a live usb you may not even need to install to test.

We’ve been sleeping on Queen size koala for 3 years and it feels fine to me. Only 3 years in so can’t speak to the longevity. I still feel comfortable. Mattress feels good. Does sagging depend on the build quality of your bed/slats as well?

Since we’re happy with it, we just bought a single size koala for our toddler to move her out of the cot and into a real bed. She’s sleeping just fine… And through the night for the first time in 9 months.
