Anyone running for President should be able to rationally predict which questions they’ll be asked in a debate. answer any of these questions

Google is even worse.

I understand Germany tightening their borders, but this is the wrong reasoning and wrong approach. They’ll regret it in ten years time.

It is a Soviet or Polish gas mask from the 1950s. SzM-4m or similar.

That’s the other way. English got a lot of words from the vikings.

No. Mayhem’s house is said to have been close to Oslo.

OPs picture is a stock photo from a small city further north, Flåm by Sognefjord.

Perhaps someone could make a business of it then.

Chromebooks sold well enough. Google made $30 billion on that in 2023.

Anyone willing to put together a physical Linux machine, market and support it could take a chunk of that.

It would be nice if it was possible to simply go to a website, check off on the stuff you want and then get a full package.

I liked the idea of AV Linux, because it comes in a bundle of stuff that I need, but it also comes with a lot stuff that I don’t need, and I’m not sure the desktop is my choice. It also didn’t really work at the time I tried it.(Some years ago).

So… if I, a stupid user, could simply go to a website, check mark at the desktop, check off which office package, music apps, browser, etc.etc. and then get a download of that in one go where it’s all set-up and works, it would be a lot easier than having to go through the process of installing the OS and then installing/removing apps, and then making it work…

Like, let’s say I want a PC just for music creation, I should be able to download the the OS with the DAW of my choice, all the VSTis and potentially also the most common free sound banks. In one file.

If I wanted an office PC, I should be able to get the OS, the office suite of choice and all the misc. PDF tools, email client and whatnot of choice. All in one go.

Windows and macOS sort of came with everything before, but these days they’re just as annoying to set up as any Linux distribution. Linux as a whole could take advantage of that situation by offering a prepackaged but custom installation.

Of course it would also help if someone made a Linux installer for windows, so users didn’t have to use windows to create a bootable USB. I think this is the step that normal users hesitate on. I don’t know if it’s possible, but it ought to be possible from software to partion the disc and install dual boot or something.

Yes. Linux Mint works “straight out of the box”.

It comes with a preinstalled browser (Firefox), so if you only use your computer for online stuff, then you dont need to do anything at all. Just use it.

The only technical thing you might want to do is to enter the WiFi password and find the software manager to install any additional apps you need.If you can install apps on your phone, then you can also install apps on Linux Mint.

I actually found that it was a lot easier to install Mint than setting up a new Windows pc. The most difficult part was using a windows pc to download it and making a bootable USB stick. Your friend can help you with that or you can follow a guide.

I have had zero issues and I have never written a single command line. It just works.

Brain? Cat!!! Brain…

Well, if you need to buy these seed in the first place, then you’re probably not in an environment where they’d usually grow. It takes time. At least more than one season to get it going.

My local municipality planted local wild annual seeds all over the city two years ago. It made a nice news article, but the flowers are all gone by now because they didn’t re-seed.

Yes but not as many as the first year.

When buying these kind of seeds pay attention to labels saying whether they’re annual, perennial or multi season etc.

Both are fine, but just to avoid the disappointment of thinking your project failed when the flowers don’t come again the following year.

Annual flowers are usually a lot cheaper, so you can easily reseeed every year until you have established a more self sustainable garden.

The door swinging open will pull it.

You would if you tried unsticky shampoo. It would be way too fluid, drip right off and get in your eyes.

Gluten can be used in shampoo to make it more sticky.

Goes to show that it’s only human.

I liked that game. The controls were horrible, but the story was okay and it featured a lot of new game mechanics for the time. They tried too much really. It was more of an experience than a game.
