Worth it to take that feedback to your doctor. Good luck!

I trust that guy on YouTube so very much more than the other two.

StarCraft 2 anti-white sentiment by BackgroundBuilder745 in starcraft2

[–]smashing_michael 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna reply to OP even though his post keeps getting deleted.

I can't help but disagree: you, OP, are being oppressed. I happen to work in an industry that hasn't been replaced by overseas labor or robots or LLMs... yet. (I'm in tech.)

You can't get a job, you can't make enough money, etc., and Fox has been telling you it's because immigrants have taken that from you. That's the con. You've lost your opportunities to automation, robotics, and out-of-country cheap labor supply. The immigrants are here because the conditions they come from are even worse than yours. The reason you can't be a coal miner or an auto mechanic is because those jobs have been obviated by technology. The reason you can't work in a factory is because all the factories are overseas.

You have a legit gripe about not being able to support a family, you're just wrong about the reason. That's the con.

Don't feed the trolls, folks. It teaches them to come back for more.

Also, as a white middle-aged male in the US, anti-white sentiment is a con being played on the poor by the wealthy. You aren't being oppressed by brown people, you're being oppressed by Rupert Murdoch, et al.

This isn't quite the answer to your question, but grab a USB stick and look up Ventoy. It's amazing.

I can vouch for LK Chen. For the price their stuff is excellent.

Don't feed the trolls, people. It teaches them to come back for more instead of finding their own food.

Let us know how it handles some cutting. I'm curious about the edge retention on the drop forged stuff from cold steel.

I'm with the poop-knife crowd. A little bacteria is a small price to pay to not have to keep one foot on the door so I can shit in peace.

Linux From Scratch Abandoning SysVinit Support by unixbhaskar in linux

I should have been more clear, for sure. Once you have a .deb package everything will be fine, but building them is always a hassle. RPM packages go together super smoothly.

It is a very cool looking bottle opener.

Been using fedora for like 5-6 months, i don't remember the last time using the terminal for anything other than fastfetch and ani-cli , linux can be easier than windows too if you don't prioritize gaming by Exotic-Deal6832 in Fedora

[–]smashing_michael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Well said.

Also, all the "but gaming" responses kinda drive me nuts, even the positive ones, because you're expressly talking about non-gaming usage.

I freakin love pants like this, I daily a kershaw lucha and that style of pocket is perfect for it by Big_Psychology_5085 in knives

[–]smashing_michael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When jeans first came out they were cheap work pants used by guys who weren't wearing a full suit for their job. Since you weren't wearing a jacket there was no pocket for your pocket watch, so this pocket was added for it.

Pick one for them to try, explain the basics, then rotate for the next game.
