That goes against well documented psychology and physiological development research.

NATO or no NATO, the EU needs an army.

I live in Wyoming. The coldest my basement will get is 45°F even though it has no heating and outside temps often go below -20°F. Pitching a tent down there would keep us nice and toasty, no matter what.

If you live in extremely cold weather areas, and you have the land, building a small underground bunker could easily save your life. Think of it as putting in a small pool with a roof.

I grew up very poor. In my street lived an older lady and a few doors down lived her daughter and son-in-law. The older lady was illiterate and when her first grandson was about to learn how to read, her daughter asked her to help teach him by keeping them company. So the daughter taught her toddler and her mother the bascic alphabet. That inspired the old lady to seek help and my mother arranged for a high school student to come tutor the lady three days a week. The old lady taught the next two grandkids how to read using the pamphlets she learned to read herself.

Believe it or not, some people are truly selfless sometimes.

I mean…the Trump administration is telegraphing the shit out of their intentions.

That’s not politics, that’s smart fiscal policy. Trump is bringing intense geopolitical instability to the dollar.

I live in Western Wyoming. It is the middle of January and most of my yard is grass. My lawn is supposed to be under three or four feet of snow. Instead, grass. This is all fucked.

Thanks. I hate it.

LMAO. It’s so cursed. I love it.

So does the US.

Yeah, I installed Heliboard soon after I posted my comment and I like it well enough. I think I might stick with it.

What is the best offline, privacy first, FOSS, Android keyboard alternative to FUTO?

Parts of it, certainly.

I’ve been a Linux guy since 1996 but almost exclusively on the server side. I tried desktop Linux numerous times through the years but the experience wasn’t great. In 2012 I left Windows behind for Mac as my daily driver. In 2016 I built a Windows gaming system, and in 2019 I got sick of how shitty Intel Apple MBPs were so I got a Lenovo X1 Extreme, slapped PopOS on it, and it has been my daily driver ever since. Same machine. Solid as a rock. I do have an M1 MBP now, but itnis only for music production.

Linux on the Desktop is lightyears away from where it was just ten years ago. It’s crazy how painless it all is now.

She at least forty years too old for that.

I remember installing Linux for the first time from a CD of the Red Hat Halloween release (1996?). It was like being dropped off in an alien planet. Good times.

Nutanix…oof. I deal with them every day. It isn’t their fault their shit can’t handle what we do, but it is their sales folk that constantly lie and misrepresent.

Wanna know one of rhe big reasons people hate Oracle so much? It’s their sales guys. They are awful. If that guy went from Oracle to Nutanix, that tells me that I cannot trust a single syllable out of their mouth.
