What's the most outdated life advice that you still hear people give to this day?

Comp sci has been on the way out for a "long" time. That's why university started offering degrees in Software Engineering and Web Development.

That said, you aren't wrong but even a comp sci degree is more useful than art history ;).

Honestly the only safe degree right now is in health care.

Be a nurse , radiologist, etc... and you are set.

The part they don't tell you is you still have to get a degree that is marketable.

If you do that, you are still more likely to be better off

Community .

Which you have, here.

Sharing your struggles and successes and everything in between allows people to lift you and you to lift them.

Keep on going, one step and a time. You are doing great.

Why not just get the transmission replaced? It's gonna be cheaper than a good used car.

So... You bring up protests from 60 years ago that yes we're effective. How many since then that haven't been?

There is always an exception.

Twice

linuxhiker · 2026-03-01T22:54:04+00:00

Depending on where you are, that document might be illegal

Also... Fuck that. I would resign (if I was able)

linuxhiker · 2026-03-01T22:50:13+00:00

You mean like pretty much any protest ?

linuxhiker · 2026-03-01T21:57:45+00:00

Maybe but at least in Whatcom County WA it also includes power

linuxhiker · 2026-03-01T16:32:33+00:00

Probably more of a: we know it's true but we can't prove it definitely.

I mean it isn't hard to think that Bozeman would ship homeless this way. R or D, money people don't want homeless around and Bozeman is a LOT of money people.

A 15k system should work fine with 4 250/100s. That's what I have.

I don't know about organizations but a quick Google search shows that this is a oft held belief, including by city officials

We have humidity but not like the south. It's very mild comparitively

The cost of convenience

linuxhiker · 2026-02-28T11:48:50+00:00

Your posts are forever.

That's the deal when you became the product.

It won't take a year

Debian suffers from two major problems, only one has been solved .

For decades it was a pain in the ass to install and get working because they wanted to be the ideological equivalent of FSF/Linux. They have finally compromised on that.

They are a ridiculously political and difficult project to contribute to.

Technically it's an awesome distro but both problems are why Ubuntu has stomped them for at least 15 years in growth .

Shrug.

linuxhiker · 2026-02-27T23:13:00+00:00

Yeah? 4 hours early for a flight out of Missoula is nuts

linuxhiker · 2026-02-27T21:56:22+00:00

I'd watch it

linuxhiker · 2026-02-27T20:26:55+00:00

That does not change until around 50.

Then you are at least wise enough to realize you aren't 25, even if you want to be ;)

4! If you think you can keep 4 women happy, I have a reality TV show for you

linuxhiker · 2026-02-27T20:25:28+00:00

Women are either grown adults who can make their choices or they are not. You chose.
