    Probably depends on the math. If it’s descrete math, or anything where you have to prove something, having internet access isn’t going to help (unless the test has been reused and uploaded). Either you can write a proof or you can’t. Looking something up probably can only get your so far.









  • I trim things with an electric trimmer, but to actually shave I use a double edged razor. Some people are scared of them, and even a lot of the people who use them on their face are scared to shave their pubes with them. It’s really not that hard though. I also don’t see why you’d want more blades (which I think every disposable is like 5+), because that means if you fuck up and move your blade sideways your cut will be that many times worse.

    The key thing, and this applies to all methods, is you have to keep the skin taut. You have to pull the skin that is being shaved, not just drag a blade across the loose skin. If you don’t, you’ll likely cut yourself. Along with applying to all blades, this applies to all skin also.

    I enjoyed my time, but I was a horrible student for the same reason. I remember in one of my course (something about computer logic) that was fairly early in the morning. I would fall asleep almost every lecture. I never opened the textbook or studied anything. Near the final approaching the professor looked me straight in the eye and told the class that you wouldn’t pass if you slept in the coming lectures. I still did and got a B in the course —which was apparently on the high end. Meanwhile I failed several easy courses because I just didn’t do the work.

    We really need to figure out how to make highschool function properly for us who have an easy time with it.


  • Yeah, both have pros and cons. I have Steam installed through pacman and flatpak also. For me I have the Flatpak version because it contains its own version of glibc. This mostly doesn’t matter, except I play Squad and it’s doing something with it’s anti-cheat that isn’t supported in the most recent versions of glibc, so I use the Flatpak version for Squad only.

    Flatpak is essentially a more controlled environment. It will contain everything it needs to work, which is good for ensuring it works but bad because you’ll have duplicates. It mostly doesn’t matter which you use, but occasionally it does.

    Yeah, the issue is it isn’t intended for you to do things like that. An Immersive simulator expects you to be able to use boxes or whatever else is in the world to solve issues in immergent ways. Fallout, and any Bethesda game really, doesn’t really do this. You are expected to follow the set out rules. You can take any path and go in any order, but you are supposed to engage with it in the ways they designed.

    What can happen. I think this was many years ago, and I don’t know anyone who doesn’t know what transgender means now. Usually the people acting like this are doing so in bad faith. I’m glad this one ended well, but it’s notable because it’s an exception, not the norm.


  • A friend brought up some Ubisoft game (that I’m not that interested in) that is exclusive to their launcher. I was 90% sure this was an indication there was no hope for Linux there. I googled it and they apparently had already promised they would be strongly supporting Linux. A shitty company like Ubisoft is supporting it. I think we’re very close.

    I’d be very curious to see the hours played on games by OS. The last data I saw of probable usage percent had Linux at 4%, but I’d bet a large number of Windows and Mac machines are mostly just web browser machines. I would suspect Linux users are more likely to be gamers as they’ve already shown more interest in technology.

    I don’t know what percent we need to be mainstream, but we’re on a good trgectory. If we can manage to hit 10% I doubt it could be overlooked anymore. Also, every person who swaps over is one more person who’s likely to push others to swap. It’s a slippery slope. We’ll get there.

    Funnily enough, gas pumps require electricity. However, you can generate electricity yourself with solar panels, wind generation, or other methods. You can’t generate your own gasoline.

    The self-reliant durable solution is electric. If the grid is down and you can’t generate your own electricity then your gas heating is down, gas pumps are out, and almost any other gas system is shut down unless they’re hooked up to a generator of some kind (gas, solar, etc.). If you can generate electricity then any will work. If you can’t then electric is out of commission just as much as gas. Once the tank/battery is empty then it’s dead.


  • Yeah, I wouldn’t recommend this option. Maybe for some basic question, but don’t follow its directions for anything technical and absolutely don’t enter any commands it gives you unless you know what they do. It makes stuff up all the time. It’ll sound confident, but if you’re a new user you don’t know enough to know what it’s telling you to do.

    For that matter, don’t enter any commands you see online without looking at it first. You can’t trust everyone.
