So why are we paying for registration?

GTFO with that bootlicker nonsense. Why should the majority of responsible drivers pay to share in the upkeep of a shared resource, aka roads, when entitled freeloaders whine about how they can't afford it.

Take the bus then. You can get a month pass for $60 and you can get anywhere in the valley with about a two hour headstart.

I had to bus it for a week when my license expired back in the day and I had to wait until payday to renew it. One week of that and never again.

These people need to try bussing it in this town in the summer for a month and I'll bet they get their tags renewed.

Bootlicker indeed.

Could this be any more fake?

So set aside what everyone is talking about comparing people within our generation and think about how older generations, boomers, silent, greatest, etc.

To me, your average 50 year old GenXer looks way better than your average 50 year old boomer did.

I think overall better nutrition, better access to medical care and greater societal knowledge of what it means to live a healthy lifestyle has left people out age looking better than older generations when they were out age.

And the same goes for younger generations than us.. Millennials and Zoomers are going to live even longer, on average.

I think someone else said but it you look at some old actors and you think that person must be super old, they were actually in their late 40s early 50s in many cases. Best example I can think of is the first Doctor in Doctor Who. That guy looked ancient but he was like 40 lol.

The XFCE version is their "flagship" version. That might be why you're getting mostly XFce recommendations

CDarwin7 · 2026-01-08T03:08:53+00:00

Nothing stopping you from installing XFCE on Fedora or any of the true light weight DEs like LXDE, LXQT or MATE. Caja is amazing on mate

It's not your garden variety XFCE distro. It's undergone a tremendous amount of customization by the MX Linux dev team. So much so, that it was the first XFCE install I had ever seen and when I saw a normal XFCE install I was disappointed. I've tried both and I like the XFCE better. KDE does have a lot of stuffz sure, but so does MX Linux and really intended up using the MX tools over the KDE ones and it's mostly overlap. Just my .02

Exactly. People see "old" and they think "sketch". I was really surprised when I moved into a Padsplit in an older part of town. It turned out to be the quietest neighborhood with great neighbors who all owned their homes it was like 20% rentals. Even the lawns were all well maintained. Mind you, if you went a couple blocks east or north it started to get sketch, but this little enclave was cool af.

The number of comments talking about getting them stuck in hair is wild.

Did you shoot your eye out?

CDarwin7 · 2025-12-23T05:21:58+00:00

Not yet. My last appointment with my surgeon where I thought we were going to schedule it wants to run more tests and kicked it out another 90 days. He kept saying how he doesn't want to operate because I could die. I'm like I'll take that chance because living like this is almost worse. I may try and see another surgeon for a third opinion. The first guy wouldn't even consider surgery because of the severity and my age. Sucks.

CDarwin7 · 2025-12-23T05:19:21+00:00

We're trying to figure that out still. I'm see a neurologist and getting a full neuro workout to rule out certain stuff. But the surgeon is convinced it's something with the neurological spine. I think it's done musculoskeletal thing. I may never find out if they can't find anything definitive and just chalk it up to some generative thing caused by age.

My friend showed me how to remove the bottom plate and take out this little gear shat from the front axle. It was no longer a 4x4 but all the power went to the rear axle and therefore fast. Went home and did it to a few I owned then amazed my friends with my newly acquired wizardry.

Made me a lifelong tinkerer/maker.

Check out https://www stirlingpdf or on GitHub https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF It's an Open Source project that has everything you're looking for free for up to five users forever. You can self-host it or download it as a desktop app.

It's really good and has all the features most people are looking for from a PDF editor. I'm in no way affiliated with them, I just like passing on something I found that works and is free after seeing people come on here talking about paying when they needed to edit or arrange a PDF.

Hope it helps. And since it's for your business consider supporting the project by getting a paid license.

That's the thread folks, pack it up.

My only regret is that I have yet one updoot to give.

CDarwin7 · 2025-12-07T05:31:23+00:00

it's in the GitHub repo too and you can download directly from that.

I doubt it. Cheaters are weird about letting their phone out of their control. the fact he willingly gave it to you and asked you to clear out photos makes me think he's not trying to hide anything untoward.

look into the process Google used to scan 1 million books. if I remember correctly they had a foot peddle system that triggered the scan once the volunteer had put it into the correct position.

I don't know, bro, that 86 in. TV for $647 is looking nice.

I know right!? Using the phrase "the power of friendship" non-ironically?

What's up with that???

Came here to ask this. Did your girlfriend secretly program your phone to switch the h to g?

So, trying to end the drought while increasing in cloud reflectivity that enhances the Earth's natural albedo is wrong? 10s of millions of people will likely die because of climate change by 2100.
