Just an old retired guy who’s still a leftist.

This is mind-bogglingly weird. I’ll never understand it.

That’s not bright of you. You going to clutch your pearls as Trump is inaugurated?

How about when he carries you off to a camp?

Bet she also “urges” withdrawing support from Ukraine.

Last night’s CNN interviews with undecided PA voters made me want to weep for the electorate.

So many of them really were clueless.

You can get all the way to LR4 without leveling a single K-drive. I did.

Always keep in mind that ideally, you should be doing two things at once when you’re doing something. Working lich murmurs? Be sure to do the excavation mission for cryotic to get that Sibear. Grinding XP in ESO? Be sure to stay to wave 8’s end, to get a chance at Braton Vandal and Lato Vandal.

And on a different note, to avoid burnout don’t do the same void-damned thing over and over and over. When grinding for Old Mate standing with Fortuna, I’d start each day with a bounty, and end the day with another. If a clan mate wanted to run some of them during the day, great, I’d do that. But I did not spend 3 hours running the same bounty over and over.

If the only sensible place to get something means you have to grind the same mission over and over, vary the gear you use for it so it becomes more interesting. This is what I did grinding for Harrow Systems back when its best drop chance was a dismally low number from Saturn Defection. You hate the game going to the same mission with the same gear over and over. So I tried most every frame to see if things that weren’t the meta for defection would work, and to my delight discovered that several are quite good at it.

And finally, I hope you have a good, social clan that likes helping. If you don’t, maybe I can fix that.

Seems fitting here to remind people just getting used to modding that Heavy Caliber should almost never be used. And should NEVER be used along with Serration in the same build.

The only use for HC is when you want to spread damage widely. Mutalist Cernos or Ogris. And that’s about it.

I’m not talking about a long-ago problem. I’m talking about a current install of Ubuntu.

I’m a very casual Linux user and in my experience, I’ve NEVER had a problem with a documented solution that didn’t require going down a rabbit hole of other references.

Something like this: “To get the trackpad to work with Ubuntu, make sure you’ve installed the hergelbergelXX package.” (No link, find it on your own!)

Visit the HergelBergelXX page. To install Hergelbergel on Ubuntu, you must install the framisPortistan Package Manager. (No link!)

On the FramisPortistan GitHub readme, we discover it requires the JUJU3 database system to be installed. “JUJU3 may cause conflicts with installed USB devices under Ubuntu” JUJU2, which shipped with Ubuntu, is no longer supported. Also we recommend Archie&Jughead Linux over other distributions.

And this essentially never stops.

All of this is comparatively a happy result—I actually DID post a question on linuxnoobs about getting my trackpad to work with Ubuntu… and have not had a single reply. I have no idea how to find out how to make it work.

I wish I could say this is great, but it’s an unreadable mess. Looks like EEDT.
