I’ve washed shoes in the washing machine a few times, using the setting for delicate clothes. So far no damage to be seen and they come out clean.

Probably not something that should be done every other day, but once in a while seems fine.

I cannot stress enough how much I don’t want to write code on a tablet

Windows licenses AFAIK are already rarely bought on their own. The vast majority of users get one by having it bundled to a new device they purchase.

Jamendo is definitely still around, and there has always been plenty of music made as a score there

I label myself as straight, but I agree with that theory.

Sexuality being a scale, I believe very few people are 100% straight or gay. That means that identifying as bi is for many a matter of societal context and expectations shaping one’s perception. Say you on occasion find someone whose gender is not your preferred one attractive: you could either dismiss it as “I’m just noticing they’re attractive, nothing more”, or consider you might be somewhat bi.

What I find most amusing (and in a way very sad too) are those bigots that claim homosexuality or bisexuality to be a choice because, as they say, “everyone finds people of the same sex attractive, but you have to resist the temptation”. Like, dude, you’re super gay, just accept and enjoy it.

I don’t know how much the windows installer lets you choose regarding partitions, but assuming you can and given my probably dated knowledge still applies:

You’ll have to install windows to it’s partition and then force a boot into Linux from the BIOS to reinstall grub, and then you’ll be able to choose your starting system.

It’s not what you’re looking for, but I think in this context Jamendo deserves a mention.

I found lots of great songs and artists there that I listen to daily.

Very relevant to all of them

That’s the first time I’ve heard that, for real?

But also, it doesn’t matter, they still made that decision and they couldn’t have known.

Cats count.

Pets are the new children.

Plants are now pets.

Children are big exotic animals, like tigers. Even if you were foolish enough to want one you can’t afford it.
