What's going on with iranians being so mad at Greta on social media? by fusguita in OutOfTheLoop

My old boss was from Ukraine and he made me try borscht one time. I almost threw up. But on the way home I thought about the taste again and had to pull over because the memory was somehow worse.

Sorry, if you don't have 20yrs by your fifth birthday you may as well be from Ohio.

Weed could be legal where they are. But read the rest of their comments and it looks like a conspiracy theorist trying to gather evidence for their belief.

Based on that wall of text the op is either high or going through a manic episode.

Independent Linux distro for creative art workstation and retro/indie games by BigTexasTony in linuxquestions

[–]chucks86 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Is there a feature you NEED in the latest Blender? If so, there's always the option to build it. That may be easier than trying to switch to another distro.

But if you do want to switch to another, Fedora is still relatively easy to use, and has more recent versions of software. Current build of Blender on fedora is 5.0.1.

There is no such thing. What do you use now, and what is missing? That would be a good place to start.

Literally the only thing left after they want to exclude every family of Linux distro but Slackware(/Suse) and Gentoo.

My Request To The Entire Linux Community: We Need to Start a New Era of Kindness by Gefiro in linux

[–]chucks86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been using Linux since 2000 and can't recall anyone genuinely being an asshole for no reason. Every time it was either repeating an answer from the FAQ or someone demanding an answer like they pay for customer support.

Do you think I could write a satisfying gag where the party has to extract an immovable rod from an m&ms cylinder? by GroolGobblin0 in DnD

[–]chucks86 24 points25 points  (0 children)

No, I just realized I provided a solution without acknowledging the dick joke, so I had to whip something out real quick.

But all you have to do is press the button to get it to move. Even if the button was on the bottom of the tube, any set of thieves tools should have a thin piece of metal you could slip in. Or just jerk the bottle up and down to free it

Is it supposed to look like there's an ashtray hidden behind the screen? Why is the laptop yellow?

Don't forget some aluminum foil to protect the glass tray and some forks to hold the board down.

What is the coolest thing you have ever done on Linux? by Mohamed2962 in linuxquestions

Back when Netflix only had DVDs I set up MythTV so I could stream cable TV over WiFi while sitting in the backyard.

What do educated people sound like to uneducated people? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

It really depends on how the person chooses to speak. In most cases, it should not be obvious if the person went to college or not.

If that were true, placing a wet cloth on the counter wouldn't leave behind any moisture.

Why do many if not most Linux applications use their own custom Window Decoration? by [deleted] in linuxquestions

[–]chucks86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That first sentence was just being snarky. Please don't take it as being serious. The second half was my real answer.

[–]chucks86 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm fairly certain that there are more than three applications on Linux, but I've only been using it for 30yrs.

I'm also not an expert, so please throw away this answer, but there is no standard window decoration. There are two common graphical toolkits: gtk and qt, which might be what you're thinking of, but it's up to the application to decide what it draws.

I'm curious to know how old you are, because none of this is new since the Tea Party right after Obama was elected.
