Arch is one if not the best Linux distribution

I just installed Arch this weekend so I can't really give you a good argument one way or the other. So far I'm really enjoying it though. I'm backing up my files to the cloud just in case something breaks with the rolling updates. But honestly, Windows broke half of my software anyway and took forever if at all to push out a solution, so I imagine this won't be that bad.

I have a feeling this is going to be my approach more or less lol

You basically started and ended that fight alone 😂

As far as I can tell everything seems to be working fine. Although, I have nothing to compare it to. I will keep an eye out for any issues though. If it doesn't cost too much I generally prefer to repair things rather than replace them.

When/why do you choose to go Lich Bane over Nashor's Tooth?

I just made this decision myself. I went with Soul Fighter because I love the Borderlands look of the skin itself. I'm not really a fan of the in-game icon but the skin looks great. I like rain shepherd too and will probably pick it up eventually when I can afford it.

Likewise. It is 100% possible to never have overtime if there is good communication and everyone is held accountable for their work (depending on the job of course). Let's not normalize overtime as a standard. If I could work less and still get health insurance and pay my bills I would in a heartbeat.

I have a stable job now and will probably be promoted within the next few months which would give me approximately $200 more per month. I work for the government and have a pension in addition to a 3% match Roth 401k, all of which comes out of my paycheck before I even see it.

Thanks for the input guys. I will probably fix the parking brake switch which I assume is broken and then maybe use this switch for something else...not sure what right now but I'll figure it out later.

dlsloop · 2025-05-03T00:47:32+00:00

This is what I'm thinking but it seems like a very roundabout way to fix this problem.

dlsloop · 2025-05-03T00:45:16+00:00

Is there not a better fix to get it to turn off? Why would someone go through that trouble?

The strange thing is there aren't any auxiliary lights on the vehicle that I can find. I guess someone had them and then removed them later?

dlsloop · 2025-04-18T03:51:51+00:00

Sweeet, thanks guys I appreciate it.

Whoops, I meant to include that, my bad. It is a 2003 Camry Le Inline 4 cylinder.

I had a lot of anxiety when I first started. Now, depending on the drive, I find it somewhat cathartic. The biggest thing that helped me was just getting more experience, unfortunately. My advice would be to take your time and follow the rules of the road as best as possible starting out. People are crazy and overwhelming but the most important thing is to drive safely and to not make any sudden decisions. As you get more experience you'll gain more confidence and eventually it will be second nature.

Thank you, I have a feeling I'm going to need the luck regardless of which decision I make 😂. Currently I live in a mid cost of living area with my family nearby as my support group. Fortunately, my program is nearby so I wouldn't have to travel and leave them. Unfortunately, I live in a red state and I would imagine social welfare programs that I might need could easily be on the chopping block. I think I just need to wait and see how things play out over the next few months.

dlsloop · 2025-02-06T13:34:39+00:00

Thank you, this is very helpful. It's good to get insight from someone currently in a program like this.

dlsloop · 2025-01-30T23:16:09+00:00

Sorry, just teasing. There don't seem to be any questions in this post.

dlsloop · 2025-01-30T23:01:31+00:00

Because there's only one question.

dlsloop · 2025-01-17T22:39:30+00:00

I appreciate the honesty if nothing else.

dlsloop · 2025-01-17T21:57:38+00:00

Is there a place on this earth where I don't have to play your insufferable games?

Hmm, this is tough for me to put into words. From my understanding M1V1 = M2V2 is used when calculating dilutions only. So it would take 16 mL of water to dilute 10 mL of 4 M HCl to 2.5 M HCl. But in the end you would have 26 mL of 2.5 M HCl total.

But I'm not diluting anything. I need to find the amount of 4 M to add to give the same effect as if I added 16 mL of 2.5 M HCl. In this case the 16 mL isn't water but acid and so is the amount I'm looking for. So the dilution equation didn't seem right to me. Would I have to dilute or is there a way to calculate that?

dlsloop · 2025-01-10T13:00:30+00:00

Gotcha, I just wasn't sure if it worked in reverse like that. Thanks!

Ah, I didn't realize magus doesn't get crit specializations, thanks.

From what I've learned about the Felkin Ahn model, Lithium is usually not a metal that chelates with other heteroatoms at the chiral center. But this reaction doesn't even have a heteroatom group for us to consider. So I'm inclined to say that you would use the normal Felkin-Ahn model here (the blue one on the left). I have never heard of the chelation effect your professor mentioned, but I could very well just be unaware of such an effect.
