There are bacteria everywhere, indeed. Inside canned food, there are dead corpses of bacteria only, thankfully.
Hypothetically, if you sterilized your mouth somehow to ideal cleanliness, it’d get contaminated next time you inhale unsterilized air.
Let’s give a moment of appreciation to our immune systems. Otherwise, we’d be like https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severe_combined_immunodeficiency
What is the reason you bother with powder? I just lather some bar soap onto my noggin. Never thought of powdering my soap.
You misspelled KeepAss.
My email provider shut down, so I had to migrate off of it. Every account I had allowed changing emails, although I had to contact customer support about some.
I tried to run some software on my router. It kind of works, if it fits. Storage was the limiting factor. There’s an option to expand the FS to include a USB stick, but somehow it made something overheat, and the router froze every now and then.
The question on my mind is - was that a Tesla?
I love my walks (2× 30 minutes a day, usually). So does my perambulated pooch.
I’m using EFISTUB instead of a boot loader (on the PC running Arch, anyway) and Windows hasn’t figured out how to break that, yet.
Somehow it hasn’t figured out how to ruin my systemd-boot bootloader on EFI, (NixOS, this time) either. Perhaps it just has better support for EFI than BIOS?
When they got home, they were so hungry that they actually consented to eating soup!
By the way, it’s totally possible to ride on level ice, if careful, but some trails have this compacted ridge in the middle which makes them convex.
A bit late to the party, but I took my kids out for a bicycle ride (into the nearest bog, so we walked part of the way). The bits where the ground was still covered with ice were the most fun.
Play video games - Cataclysm:DDA or Dwarf Fortress (tho I stayed on the pre-Steam version as it’s lighter on the CPU).
Learn a new programming language at https://exercism.org
Read a book - tons of free ones around the interwebs, legally or not, as you desire.
Install a new operating system. Try Haiku or OpenBSD. See if your phone is compatible with PostmarketOS. If not, Termux + SSH + port forwarding in your WiFi box, set up a webserver and publish something. Host a Gemini pod.
Learn a craft. Repair something that another person would toss. Start a sourdough culture - it takes a week to mature (read up on how to do this right), then bake a bread. Homemade bread is approx 16× tastier than run-of-the-mill commercial stuff.
Take a walk somewhere you haven’t walked before. Find the nearest forest lake and arrange a picnic. Take someone with you on the 2nd trip.
In general, I support your stance. The devil is in the details, though, so to speak. You can only get so much evidece first-hand, and need to believe others about the rest. How do you distinguish fraudsters from honest bet mistaken people from people knowing the truth?
Fundamental logic skills also imply that atheism is a belief “God doesn’t exist!”
As an upgrade, try agnosticism: “Do we have good evidence that God exists?” So far, the only argument in favor of atheism I know of is the Occam’s Razor (those manifestations of God could also be explained in other, possibly simpler ways).
I’m running my email server on a POCO F1 ex-Android phone (running PostmarketOS now).
I wish I could get NixOS running on it, then I’d move other things also there.
I’m using VNC over an SSH tunnel. TigerVNC’s vncviewer
even has the -via
parameter you can use to make creating the tunnel seamless.
Here’s a couple of pointers to get started:
top
in your terminal to see what’s taking CPU.top -o RES
(or what’s easier, run top
and then press M
while it’s running) to see what is taking up RAM.… though unfortunately, it’s mighty probable that the only significant consumer of memory and CPU is your browser. Get uBlock Origin, it helps web pages be lighter and eat less resources. Don’t open too many tabs at once - learn to use bookmarks efficiently, instead (folders, bookmarks toolbar and whatnot).
Reminds me of the programs that make the kernel drop FS buffers in an attempt to free up RAM. Or hog as much memory as they can in an attempt to have unused things swapped to disk. Yeah, they free up RAM all right, but at the expense of actual speed.
Most of the time, this junk is actively harmful. Forget it, modern Linux uses optimized defaults.
You can get more performance out of your hardware by switching to from heavyweight to lightweight programs - for example, instead of Skype (which uses Electron), choose some other way to chat like irssi
for IRC. Instead of Gnome, choose i3 or dwm or something like that. You need a bunch of tradeoffs and learning, though, to really get the most out of your hardware.
Citation needed. I have the opposite experience.
My kids actually did just that (they started at age 7, I believe) - and what they ended up fishing out of the oven was terrifically tasty. I think it mostly consisted of baby porridge, sweetened cocoa powder, and sweetened condensed milk.
