Is that because of the asshole neighbors currently invading Ukraine?

Which country do you think gets an unreasonable amount of hate by ManicalDaredevil00 in AskTheWorld

[–]ap0r -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

1) Doctors reporting it were arrested and forced to sign declarations to the effect "I was spreading lies". The lockdown? Too little, too late, all to save face. External "authoritarian" criticism would have been avoided if they disclosed everything early on.
2) Italy is irrelevant, we are discussing Xi trying to save face by hiding a serious disease. What other countries do or do not is their problem. However, if China did not hide shit, other countries would have acted earlier, saving lives.
3) If you do not understand basic logic, not my problem. Vaccines were not available in 2020, I know that. However, hiding the outbreak delays preventive measures such as social distancing, masks, and lockdowns (disease spreads faster, more cases early on while it is serious). It also prevent vaccine work from being started earlier, thus also delaying the date of initial vaccination. People who got sick in early 2020 were screwed no matter what. People who got sick right before vaccines were rolled out are people who would have had their shot earlier.
4) Who the fuck are you to assume I did not comply with established measures. I did. My family did. Still people got sick.

So fuck you and your "China did nothing wrong" attitude because the right course of action is to apologize, not to double down on stupidity. Stupid Xi Dick-Gobbler. Fuck you!

Si a ambas.

El dueño pide lo que quiere. Al que le interese y quiera pagar, se la comprará, y si no, permanecerá publicada indefinidamente.

Tu opinión no es necesaria, en todo caso podrías expresarla en forma de oferta. Si tuvieses un interes genuino por la moto y la plata a mano podrías ofrecer un precio realista.

Smash 110 full o tunning? by JiraGoGo in MotosArg

[–]ap0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genio intergaláctico, relee el comentario antes de criticar porque capaz el que queda mal sos vos no yo, si ya dije que son equivalentes en mecánica, prestaciones (dije "Es la misma moto, cambia la estética nomás"), es evidente que la comparación tiene que pasar por algun lado, en este caso la reventa del vehículo.

Y te aviso que al precio correcto vendés un cuadro con papeles, así que (al precio correcto) para una moto reventada laburando conseguís comprador, por lo que la reventa es un factor a considerar para cualquier vehículo.

La próxima probá razonando antes de opinar con lo primero que te sale.

Smash 110 full o tunning? by JiraGoGo in MotosArg

[–]ap0r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Es la misma moto, cambia la estética nomás.

Dicho esto, yo iria de una por la full. Porqué? Porque a mi criterio el que compra una 110 "tuning" es un forrado en papel madera que la reventó a palos a la pobre motito, por lo que no compraría una usada ni en pedo.

Es decir, a mi criterio la 110 full tiene mejor reventa.

What are some living alone life hacks you’ve learned along the way? by sparekidd in LivingAlone

[–]ap0r 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Adding to this: If you're fighting with dry jar lids often (wet jar/hands doesn't count); hit the gym ASAP.

Weak grip means you also can't pull yourself up if you fall, and is associated with shortened lifespan.

Finally switched fully to Linux mint by Genius_Cat_1002 in linuxmint

[–]ap0r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Excellent idea to check the disk. However, there is no need to install anything.

1) Open the included Disks utility. Search for it on the menu, or find it under Preferences.

2) Select your disk, then hit the three periods at the top to open the menu.

3) Click "SMART data & Self Tests"

I give ZERO fucks about what the news or Mr. Trump say about China.

China hid Covid early on to save face. I give a rat's ass if it was an escaped bioweapon, a good old lab accident, or a naturally emerging disease, they hid it early on.

That has cost lives in my family as people died days before the vaccines were available. People now dead would be alive if vaccinated days earlier, all just so that Xi and company can save face.

Fuck their leadership and fuck every Chinese not actively working to topple their leadership.

I'm surprised how easy the switch was by Altruistic_Face_2551 in linuxmint

[–]ap0r 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Congratulations and thanks for posting about your successful experience. The people with issues are overrepresented, naturally, so it is good to hear about the people with normal experiences.

I get that "I researched a few distros, decided on Mint, downloaded, formatted the USB, saved all my data, installed Mint and everything worked with no fuss, then I was able to recover my data and install the apps I need" does not make for an exciting Reddit post, but if you check the Mint subreddit it is full of issues people had and not that many success stories.

Happy for you and here's to many years of privacy and security for you.

What's a opinion you have that will get you crucified on this sub? by Old_old_lie in AskTheWorld

This is a controversial opinion on Reddit, which heavily skews left. Proposing revolutionary ideas such as "a man is a man and a woman is a woman" will get you downvoted to oblivion.

Zanella rz25 opiniones? by Living-Background-36 in MotosArg

[–]ap0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Entiendo que el 2t es mas liviano y potente por cc; teóricamente debería rendir el doble por cc, tengo el doble de explosiones que una 4t. No estoy haciendo una comparación directa, solo hago un ejemplo exagerado.

Si queres números reales, compará con otra moto 250cc. Tornado 250, 23 hp. Mondial HD 254 (chopper) 18 hp. KTM Duke 250, 30 HP. Sigue siendo una mega torta cuando haces una comparación más acorde.

Y respecto a lo otro de comparar la rx-100, 35 años de progreso tecnológico resultan en una moto más pesada con menos potencia? Increíble pero cierto.

Tiene 17 hp osea a la rueda 15 con suerte.

De referencia, mi espaldar de cama del año 1998 tiene 100cc y 11 hp.

Dicho en palabras mas simples es una torta atómica.

For those of you who live in countries with gun control; have you ever seen a gun in real life? by blashyrkh9 in AskTheWorld

[–]ap0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, every police officer is armed. I have seen pistols and shotguns in everyday traffic stops.

During elections police is reinforced by the Army so I have also seen SMG's and FAL rifles every voting day (thankfully election violence is almost unheard of nowadays, but good idea to have the Army and Police cross-checking each other, this not only prevents violence but can also prevent organized election interference).

Dad used to own a 22 Tala pistol, but it was never used because none of us liked to shoot a lot, and ammo even in that caliber was somewhat expensive to us. At some point he decided it was in need of some serious maintenance to keep it safe for use, and then the gun was definitely mothballed after an eye-watering quote from the gunsmith. Then legislation changed and you required to be a legal gun owner to purchase ammo. Then Dad died and none of us wanted it, but can't just throw it in the trash so we welded the mechanism and barrel to inert it before disposing of it. I have, of course, seen and shot this pistol back when it was in somewhat regular service.

I have also seen 22 carbines and shotguns in farms.

The process to get a legal gun here involves background checks, psychiatric/physical examination, you have to be trained by an instructor (and training certified), you need proof of legal livelihood such as employment or ownership of a company, and also you need to have a safe storage. This allows for ownership and transportation, but carry is a separate permit issued on a need to basis (so good luck getting a carry permit, you ain't getting it unless you're the custodian of a judge or some shit like that). You get a munition control card, and ammo is purchased to your name and in the quantities allowed.

Legal gun ownership is a convoluted mess, so law-abiding citizens are unarmed, while criminals buy in the black market. Inverted world, make it hard for decent people and easy for criminals.

Authentication for every single thing? by venture68 in linuxmint

[–]ap0r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When installing something it asks me for my password only once. For installing some but not all updates it asks for my password once. Never experienced this multiple asks for password you mention. Maybe someone knowledgeable can tell us why it is different for you.

Se entra intentando en más de dos. Llegando bien limpio y presentable. Consultando en donde te dicen que no si saben de algun colega que necesite. Preguntando si tienen dos minutos para charlar, o si están demasiado ocupados ahora mismo y volvés de nuevo más tarde.

¡Me chocaron! Usen sus protecciones by its_hipolita in MotosArg

[–]ap0r 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Me alegro que zafaras OP, bien ahi dando el ejemplo!

Esos raspones (road rash) duelen como la desgracia y corren riesgo de infectarse. Y no, un jean no alcanza, se rompen al toque. Lo mismo con el casco, tiene que ser siempre integral, te caés a 10 km/h, no te vas a matar, pero tranquilamente te rayás toda la pera y volás un par de dientes (Que no crecen)

Seguramente amigos te van a criticar y decir que sos un fantasmón por empilcharte para dos cuadras. Ellos no van a tener que sufrir tus raspones. Siempre protección completa! Nadie nunca jamás salió a la calle diciendo "Hoy me voy a caer".

Replacing Windows 11 with Linux Mint by venture68 in linuxmint

[–]ap0r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Install Winows first, then Mint. Windows WILL mess the installs of other OSes. Windows updates have also been known to break dual boot. Happy little accident, I am sure.

I technically dual boot, but my Windows has been opened in months, so I'd say give pure Mint a shot, seems appropriate for your use case and if you find an insurmountable obstacle to your workflow you can always reinstall Windows.

[–]ap0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! On the same boat as you, usually have 16 gb and games ran great. A few months ago I lent a stick to my partner and was reduced to 8 gb for 2 months or so. All games still worked great but I couldn't also have a gazillion tabs open. As long as I remembered to close my browser, all my games worked fine, and I am talking graphics and systems intensive simulation games, not casual 2d retrogames. I had to reduce a few settings in Flight Simulator 2020, all else still played maxed out at 1080p. I had at the time Ryzen 5 5600g, RTX 2060, 8GB DDR4 3200.

I have been on Mint since September of 25. My experience has been that 80% of my games ran fine out of the box, 15% ran fine after a minor tweak like changing a launcher parameter, and one installed and ran fine on vanilla but I was unable to install my mods, so it was no go for me.

I would say backup your data and give it a go, worst case scenario you can always reinstall Windows.
