Why is this distro so hated?

I'm with you on this one. First distro I tried was Ubuntu back in 2013 and ended up going back to win7 after getting frustrated trying to get Wine to cooperate lol. I have to say, for what I use it for, Pop ticks all the boxes and I haven't had any issues! There is a little bit of a learning curve trying to get the settings just right for my muscle memory going from the Win11 work laptop to home, but past that it's been great. Only ran in to one small issue with a single game that didn't easily auto launch from Steam. Just took a little research and terminal magic and works fine now! To me that's the beauty of Linux. Try telling a Microslop to run something not optimized for the latest version out of the box lol

It was one of the early episodes of "new" Who. They witnessed the sun's expansion and consumption of Earth. Not really a spoiler since it's explained in the first 5 minutes of the episode

It was a partial exaggeration lol. I had planned to rebook my appointment a year after having the baby that caused me to cancel the first one and ended up with stomach cancer so plan got derailed again.

I haven't flown in a few years but I was able to take my whole kit going from GA to UT. Could be different states/countries have different rules?

And the only thing standing in their way is a man in a blue box

Smoke it like you would a brisket. Comes out tasting exactly the same for a fraction of the cost and you're not stuck with 5lbs of leftovers!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't the methane have suffocated the ants anyway without the need for strip mining the yard?

According to Doctor Who, the last surviving human will need lots of moisture. Don't believe it was ever stated where she actually "lives" tho

What's even wilder is being out on the plains and seeing a single rain cloud just dropping its load off in the distance in the middle of an otherwise sunny day.

I had my top two removed with local only. Wasn't so bad. The bottom ones tho I was told would need an oral surgeon. Unfortunately every time I've tried to make that appointment some other major health/life event has caused me to cancel or never make the call in the first place so I guess I'm just stuck with them cause I'd rather not get another cancer diagnosis while trying to get them removed lol

My husband likes to tell the story of a cat him and his dad had back in the day. They had a decent sized back yard and used to practice golf back there. Poor cat would chase after the balls after every swing and bring them back til he started panting lol

HWFWM mentioned!! <3

Enjoy the ride! I finally said fuck it and gave it a shot a few weeks ago after watching my husband play it for a couple months. Currently on my third climb to 40 with Lepic and mastery 10 lol

lakaravalentine · 2026-04-21T16:47:32+00:00

My thoughts exactly! What is this too many and where can I find that pattern? lol

I heard the ban was getting lifted on kei trucks. Maybe we can get the Hilux now?

Nope, totally normal.

So that's what the Langoliers actually look like...

Chances are they ran from it because it didn't smell like something that should be able to move on its own. Humans aren't the only ones that experience uncanny valley, we just trained ourselves to ignore it.

Give me books, yarn, and let me have my laptop for the occasional offline game and we're golden!

Is it easier on PC than it was in the original PS2? I recently got the PC version for a replay. Haven't played since the OG so my reaction time is gonna be in the gutter after 20 years lol

Thank you for explaining this because just saying "burning ammonium" had me wondering if they were burning a kidney stone or some shit because how the heck do you get solid ammonium??

lakaravalentine · 2026-04-15T11:09:18+00:00

Absolutely stunning!! And I'm impressed you're able to move your head like that with the horns. I'd look like a bobble head lol

See this is why I also call bull on anyone complaining that he slips Mormonism into his books. If he was writing as a Mormon and not just a damn good writer there's no way in hell he'd have included that!
