I just picked one with a nice screen, didn't connect it to wifi, and set it to turn on to the last used input. Bam. Dumb TV.

I love headphones. I have quite a few very good pairs. And headphone amps. And portable headphone amps. Ive been in the hobby for about 10 years now, maybe a bit more. My hearing is still excellent (according to hearing tests I've had). Aside from my tinnitus, which ive had since I was a kid. Just be mindful of the volume levels.

Considering that is basically the only time it could fail, I would say the chances were pretty high.

Never mind. I read some of their replies. You are correct.

No, they aren't talking about for an interview. They are talking about going in someplace in a suit and asking for a job. My mother insisted I did this when I got out of college. It only took a few receptionists looking at me like I'm crazy to be reaffirmed that this was a dumb idea. Even places that did have openings told me to apply online.

I bet I could use it. I can play the VirtualBoy in a moving car. If there's any kind of way to tie it into MechWarrior, I want to build one.

I don't know the difference. I pretty much live in business casual, but on the weekends I will wear a graphic tee instead of a white undershirt. Maybe I leave my button down shirt open. It's what I would choose to wear in any instance I leave the house. I'm comfortable in my clothes.

No, I would hate being forced to bring my car in somewhere for updates. Maybe a notification that there is going to be an update, and an option to snooze it until convenient.

Well, that's super lame! I wish there was a good alternative. I'll probably stick with it as long as ReVanced works.

I've gotten that occasionally, it usually fixes with a refresh. Was it persistent for you?

Oh man, it's delightful. Last October, I woke up and Copilot had installed on my computer. That day, I tried three distros and landed on Mint. Haven't looked back since. It's on all my computers now. Except my XP era Dell Dimension, which is for XP obviously. But yeah, I have almost all of my Windows games running now, except Mechwarrior 3 and Battlezone II. But I guess that's what the old Dimension is for! The hardest thing was WoW for my wife (neither of us play, her friends forced it upon us). Steam games work pretty much out of the box. I think I had to change which version of Proton I use for 7 Days to Die, but that was it.

The Eleganse theme, with a touch of transparency in the terminal is near perfection to my semi-fancy minimalist tastes. The most ricing I've done to it is spending two hours finding the perfect menu icon, but you can do so much more.

I read that as John Travolta in Battlefield Earth angrily asking Barry Pepper if he wanted to eat a rat.

DO YOU WANT LUNCH?!
