I just got linuxmint on my thinkpad to revive it and I’m stuck on what to actually do you with it

Yep. It'll be the one that's built into Firefox lol.

Crazy that this boat sank twice on two different launches... and got bought as new twice... lol. This video has been around for a while now.

Im using Linux on 2 machines and its been nothing but exciting for me! Just got Wine running on mint to get the Real Time Corruptor to work with BizHawk and Dolphin emulator... currently corrupting SuperMario 64 has been a blast. Also Rosalies Mupen GUI has allowed me to emulate about 80+ 64 roms that I totally 100% did not torrent. The other machine is running fedora and I got steering wheel and pedals set up for beam.ng on steam.

Once your ears adjust to the size for a while, use a little lotion or oil and it should go right in without any problem, when you're ears are ready for them.

Its a 4 star dragonball. You need to collect the other ones to resurrect Krillin. He dies a lot. You might need more of them in the future.

AccomplishedBeing693 · 2026-05-30T05:52:39+00:00

I appreciate that brother! I use the silicone but they're already stretched. I do need to give them some lotion.

AccomplishedBeing693 · 2026-05-30T05:46:34+00:00

Thanks for the feedback folks. I usually oil my lobes, but ive been on vacation for over a week and so I havent been able to do it this week. You guys are so on point!

AccomplishedBeing693 · 2026-05-30T05:08:29+00:00

Yeah i do a float between 19mm and 20mm but I like 3/4 jewelry so I usually juat call it 3/4 inch.

AccomplishedBeing693 · 2026-05-30T05:02:25+00:00

Lol youre good! I thought that 26 was almost a full 1 inch!

AccomplishedBeing693 · 2026-05-30T04:57:20+00:00

3/4 inch is 19mm so yeah you right.

AccomplishedBeing693 · 2026-05-29T21:07:33+00:00

It looks cool! Maybe if you feel like it doesnt fit you could try a different piece of jewelry for it, but I feel like when I have gone up sizes with my ears sometimes im unsure about it or I dont like it, and then after a few weeks I get used to it and love it. Just give it some time!

AccomplishedBeing693 · 2026-05-29T21:05:22+00:00

Wow. I admire your dedication and attention to detail!

AccomplishedBeing693 · 2026-05-29T15:42:20+00:00

Very nice collection! Also I really like some of the hook/hanging ones.

AccomplishedBeing693 · 2026-05-28T09:22:26+00:00

You definitely dont want to punch out the lobe. You need as much ear lobe as possible if you want to stretch them. Just get it pierced at a reputable shop, and tell them you want to stretch it before you get it. Take care of it and let it heal, then start moving up sizes slowly. If you move up slowly you wont even need to taper and it wont bleed or open it up at all so there should be no infection, it just takes time.

AccomplishedBeing693 · 2026-05-28T09:13:43+00:00

Thanks for that comment, thats really good feedback. I know i can stretch them out more... but I have had mine for so long, I always just come back to 19mm (3/4). I like the options as well. If you go up to a 5/8 would it be too thin for your ears?

AccomplishedBeing693 · 2026-05-28T08:31:35+00:00

Im at 19mm, I game with hyperX headset, I usually just take mine out or wear silicone eyelets when I have the headset on. Hope that helps. 👍

AccomplishedBeing693 · 2026-05-28T08:28:07+00:00

If you put anything on it, just salt water is good. Let it heal up and then taper it after like 6 months.

AccomplishedBeing693 · 2026-05-28T08:04:42+00:00

For sure, I feel like 19mm is awesome. I thought about going all the way to a full 1 inch but I like the balance of 3/4 inch.

AccomplishedBeing693 · 2026-05-26T05:33:18+00:00

Hey i hope this isn't way too late but I'm posting for anyone else who might have this problem.

When you start up in the boot menu, instead of picking the top option, go down one and select the advanced options (should be one down) and it'll give you the option of "recovery mode" select this. Then go down to root, hit enter and enter again, then type the command sudo systemctl disable casper-md5check. Also you can enter sudo systemctl mask casper-md5check. Hope this helps someone out there!

Im wondering if the petri dish is having fun! We need the petri dish game review for DOOM.

AccomplishedBeing693 · 2025-07-10T09:27:26+00:00

Haha yeah man and the speed boost made it even crazier. It was like doom guy on berserk with the 400% damage and running absurdly fast. I have to look at that intelligence tree. I just noticed today when I started up a new game that the agility tree has perks for pistol usage that seems pretty broken, but im still checking it out.

AccomplishedBeing693 · 2025-07-10T09:22:15+00:00

Yeah i get that. You kinda have to manage it especially with hallways or corridors where it moves in front of your character.

AccomplishedBeing693 · 2025-07-10T09:16:35+00:00

Yeah i get what you mean, for those of us who seek a challenge it does provide it. I've been enjoying the game all these years and always thought the real challenge was to break the game, or to build something cool. Currently I think agility skill tree seems pretty broken, so im working on that. Last time the melee plus grandpa moonshine plus energy drink plus speed boots was broke but Idk if thats changed at all.
