Mint runs like a scalded dog on my hand-me-down Dell laptop. Yes, the menus work. I'd bet it runs amazing on newer hardware.
That's a high-voltage simile right there, goddamn
Edit: and yes, on my high end custom rig it goes like greased shit through a... Lightning... Pig?
It's one I picked up from one of my very country uncles when I was young. It just stuck.
It's marginally better than "runs like a raped ape", as another , more city uncle used to say. Thankfully this boomer ass gem did not stick in my speech patterns.
Edit: damn yakko, that is the first time I have seen you lose your way with words.
Awoken at 4 will do that. I'm beyond coffee.
Sometimes I prefer a malaphor though (or possibly it's malaprop when it's a simile?)
Fair enough, but oof, I hope your day becomes more agreeable.
BOOOOOOM SHPLORT
