Goddamn it's not even close. '59 car dummy got skewered. '09 car dummy landed on a soft fluffy mattress in comparison.

The biggest one I saw was https://fluxer.app/ it has all the right marketing and investing, but also it had a single dev dumping assloads of code per day, but somehow it wasnt ai coded at all. I'm still watching it, because it got a lot of funding in the last push to see if it failss or if it actually goes well.

I wouldn't trust anything important on it though.

That is his thing, but the joke here is that his blood is also often represented as wine / grape juice. The unexpectedness of it is where the humor of this specific strip comes from.

That assumes God exists to serve us.

I think the real reason people recommend mint is, while deep down they know users will have a better time on Ubuntu, they cannot stand the idea of recommending that company's product directly.

I have no guilt when I say Ubuntu, and their managing company, have pulled enough shit over the years that it's not a good first choice for a new user.

But in practice the similarities are only skin deep and to me if they're already going to need to learn all the ways it differs from windows, why not put the same effort into learning something that also varies

The average user never leaves the web browser. The average gamer never leaves the web browser and steam. Skin deep is as far as most people ever go.

This not a condemnation, but it's important to be aware of the differences between the average user, the average gamer, and the average Linux user. https://www.nngroup.com/articles/computer-skill-levels/

I had that issue for a while too. It's gone now, and I have no idea what change did it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Plus I hate the windows style DE UIs so it seems like a weird choice

The average user hates the changes involved in switching away from the windows distro. The thing you hate about it is an objectively good reason for recommending it to a new user.

I have tried it multiple times over the years and I did not have great luck with things "just working" as everyone claims.

I have used it for several years now (with multiple sets of hardware) with no issues. Every single Linux version is going to have something it can't handle. Linux mint is stable and handles most stuff just fine. A bad experience is possible anywhere, so this isn't really a good reason to not recommend it for new users.

Having choice is hard.

Linux mint cinnamon will be the easiest possible change to make. It's the most bland, least interesting choice out of them, and I love it for that. You can always switch later if you don't like it or want something more adventurous.

Hrmm. See, that's different too. I can't say I disagree with her though. He's, at best, only okay in that movie. They tried to do him up like a popstar, but it doesn't quite really work. Older Lou Diamond Phillips is way hotter.

If she was thinking of him without facial hair, I'm with her. If she was thinking of him with facial hair and still not liking it, I'm with you. You'll have to ask and clarify for us next time you see her. The internet (me) needs to know if your friend has bad taste or not.

Could just be breast cancer too. Accounts for only having one left.

 
 
 

Editorialized title, because it makes no sense to focus on his three year celibacy. Also a four month old article, but I figured it was still good to see.

*edit
changed 'good' to 'fine' because that was just a huge missed opportunity.

 
 
 
 

As election results poured in on Tuesday night, it became clear that Democrats were winning nationwide against anti-trans opponents.
