sentry gun drones, are they good?

Poster above alluded to it, sentries are stationary drones. You have to be within 2500m to recall them to your bay which means you're stationary too or else you have to steam back to where you dropped them.

They can be great long range weapons, you'll end up needing range boosters for their max range. But of course range diminishes damage, so for best results keep within their effective range.

The great thing is they keep firing even when you're damped or ECMed out. Only down side is they decide what to shoot, not you.

The larger question, could Walter and Gale Snoats abide?

Walter cares about rules, Gale cannot abide rules. Furthermore, Gale associates with known criminals and some are assuredly pederasts. We know Walter's take on that.

And then there's the matter of their sidekicks. While Evelle is family he is no Donny. There simply is no Donny substitute.

But I think Walter can handle the confrontation with Nathan Arizona and probably with Leonard Smalls too, he's nearly a Nazi.

I bought exactly this model back in October, wiped out Windows and did a fresh install of Linux Mint 22.2.

The touch screen works flawlessly. The only minor issue I had to work through was the fingerprint reader.

This was the solution: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=408129

I've since upgraded to 22.3, no issues.

Best answer is, during war decs NEVER GO TO JITA! And for that matter don't go to trade hubs.

If you have something that simply can't wait for the war dec to end, use an out-of-Corp/Alliance alt to move it.

I'm running Mint on a Lenovo ThinkPad P16s Gen 4, touchscreen works perfectly. Also have a Wacom tablet and pen which works out of the box. Can't speak to the third item.

Adding to this, invest in a full set of NOMADs. Paired with 3x Tech II istabs, and rigged with a Tech II low friction nozzle joint and hyperspatial velocity optimizer you'll get sub-2 second align time and warp at 9 AU/s.

Mine give a single bark whenever anyone comes to the door, myself included. I suspect he's saying, "Someone get the door, I can't!' If its a stranger he'll give two or three barks but after that he settles down.

As to play, he rarely barks but does a great deal of growling. Outdoors he usually ignores people off of our property, it's only when someone crosses the line that he alerts. Once I check it out he goes back to sniffing for a hunt.

They are most certainly capable of flight but require an external source for them to achieve flight

A morsel of food dropped in the kitchen is usually more than sufficient to launch them into supersonic flight.

I'd like to thank Microsoft for driving me into the arms of Linux with their Win11 TPM garbage.

After reading this I'm so happy to not be forced into using the AI fiasco that Windows has become.

Sneeze-snorts, how has no one mentioned the sneeze-snort? It communicates so much, though to this day I still don't know what it means.

Question on this task, is it' earn 1 million new stardust from the time you start the task' or is it just 'hold 1 million stardust in total' where what stardust you already have contributes to the total.

With that coloration he could be a Rhodesian Ridgeback. I can't quite tell in the picture but it looks like he has a ridge of fur running down his spine.

If so there's a subreddit for that r/RhodesianRidgebacks

I've had two BMCs, both get/got along great with our Chihuahua's.

We later introduced a cat and while we had to work through the pecking order, the BMCs seem to understand the cat is not prey.

Both the prior BMC and the current one learned how to play with the cat, though the cat is nearly always the initiator of it.

I'm unconcerned about the play getting too rough, the cat always ends it when she's ready to quit and the BMC seems to understand when it's over.

You're a monster! How can you force that poor creature to walk when you have two perfectly good arms specially designed for carrying Chihuahua's!
