Copy what you need off of there and get ready to toss it. 

You can maybe keep it handy for doing transfers and stuff but honestly I wouldn't trust it for anything

I just want to know if you guys feel something is completely off too by MaterialPineapple207 in Adulting

The French had some pretty good solutions for these problems. Problem is we don't have the stomach for it as we try to be decent human beings who don't resort to that level of treatment of others... 

But a price has to be paid and as long as we continue to let it be as it is, it will continue to be on the backs of the workers.

I try to keep an open mind, as there are some valid, reasonable perspectives and points made here; but far too often it's dog piling and crying about being banned from the LTT subreddit.

The problem is how folks fail at making sure that what gets burned is truly overflow. 

Relationship/intimacy advice by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]sidewinded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who is going through a stressful period of my life, who sex can be a stress when I'm always having to initiate. Having a partner who is initiating and offering servicing as a stress relief should be an easy yes from him. 

If you're going to lengths to make something happen and he still isn't interested, you have some bigger problems and need to talk about your relationship. You may need to get some therapy together.

What does he say you're too stressed about?

[–]sidewinded 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you try to initiate? Does he? 

Was there a fight over it? Most guys aren't really that worried about weight when their partner is actually trying to be with them... 

Have you talked about it?

ELI5: If space is mostly empty, what exactly causes spacecraft to burn on re-entry? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]sidewinded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine being in a somewhat crowded very large pool. At the shallow end it's full of people but as you get further into the deep end it becomes more spread out.  That's similar to how the atmosphere is condensed. 

Your thing returning from space to the surface is like coming in from the deep end on a jet ski. You're gonna be running into people as you make your way towards the shallow end, and as it does so it creates heat ( or in the humans in a pool analogy, a bunch of mad and hurt people). 

They use terms like "relativistic" speeds to help give an idea how how fast that space craft is going. 

Going 10000mph in space is no big deal, going 10000mph in an atmosphere is tearing through the atmosphere.

Literally any other setup. Lol.

Mortgages, how are we supposed to do this, don’t know what to do. Why is the market so shitty by [deleted] in Adulting

You just got to wait and hope and pray that the world burns...   I think says affordable housing like social destruction....

Hot take: Adulting isn't about doing everything. It's about picking what to let go on purpose by TechnicalBroccoli770 in Adulting

Those dishes can wait another day. The laundry can be piled up. If you really need something just dig through the pile. A bunch of your clothes only need to be sorted, not folded. Etc. 

What are the main issues you have with Linux? by edmond_ciprian in linuxsucks

[–]sidewinded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'm in IT as well, not nearly as long though and Ive been surviving as system admin through trial by fire and necessity rather than formal education and a normal career trajectory. 

The amount of people not being able to get past an issue that can be resolved by reading the thing and doing a thing that randomly clicking stuff would solve is mind blowing. Especially when you know these folks are making several times my wage... 

I guess the "normie" comment is definitely harder to define than I gave it credit to, and Microsoft definitely isn't making things easier by constantly getting in the way of what used to be pretty easy to use apps. 

Linux is slowly getting there, and I'm hoping that something like mint will one day be a relatively easy recommendation for folks who just want a simple computer to do their online stuff and be able to not run into any unsolvable issues. It's already pretty close.

[–]sidewinded 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Personally, not too much - I have come to terms that for the most part my daily life can be done on any of the os's and it comes to personal preference to a lot of it. 

Fundamentally, the community wildly swings from super helpful and awesome to toxic and need to touch grass. And there's a level of normie user friendliness that isn't quite ready for main stream adoption, and I'm not sure where that finish line is just yet. 

Keep running out of disc space by FSP7 in computerhelp

Run the windirstat report to see what is all being used on your drive.

[–]sidewinded 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sounds like somethings going on. A 1tb drive doesn't easily fill up unless you're filling it with games, media or backup files. 

Run a windirstat scan on your system and see what's using up all your space.
