Parenting, since our first child was born in September of 2020. Still giving it a go. We just had a 2nd child this July, so I guess you could say things are getting pretty serious.

Yup! I had a little difficulty communicating with the computer, but all I had to do was add my user to the “dial-out” group and it worked like a charm.

I don’t know what CUPS is, but I had 3 major reservations about switching my barely functional computer to Linux:

1. Ive never worked in Linux before
2. My dive computer only uploads to proprietary software using a proprietary cable.
3. My Brother laser printer was working SO well wirelessly. It’s the first time I’ve ever not hated my printer

Turns out some amazing people made open source dive logging software so I can still download my dives.

And for printing, I meant to get around to setting it up, then one day I forgot and accidentally printed something and it just worked. I was so shocked that for a bit I assumed that reformatting the hard drive and changing operating systems must’ve somehow preserved my printer settings.

I had an apartment in Indiana. When I gave directions to my house I used to say, “turn right at the traffic light. There’s corn on the left, my house is on the right. If you hit the soy you’ve gone too far.”

Ouch, I feel that one.
