Can’t comment on the Lemur Pro, but the Pulse has an excellent screen. Was wanting more pixels than a 1080p screen but 4K incurs ridiculous cost and tends to be available on “laptops that don’t fit on your lap”. 2880x1800 @ 120 Hz means your fonts look really crisp and updates are smooth.
When my Tuxedo Pulse arrived, I turned it on once to marvel at the fact that it started up straight into Linux. Then restarted it to install Arch btw and never looked back. Fantastic laptop, tho.
“So what first attracted you to the multi-billionaire Bill Gates?”
Yep, that’s ugly. I wonder if it’s because electric cars don’t need as many functional components, like eg. air intakes? Don’t need so much detail work to harmonise the stuff on the outside, therefore, it ends up looking like a child’s toy?
Proportions are still kind of graceless and unweildy, and that colour is nasty. I’d probably have gone the same yellow as the brake shoe, or just classic Ferrari red…
As an “EFL” speaker, yours is clearer, more grammatical. If I’d written this, I’d probably have changed the “opting instead” to “when they opted”, but yours uses two shorter sentences, which is better style in English.
Having seen native French speakers producing “one sentence covers an entire page” text when studying ESL, I’ve tried to keep my bad habits under control myself. Can be a bit too easy to produce a runaway sentence sometimes, when you’ve a lot of thoughts to get on the page.
The squinting cat has quite a pointy face. Testosterone makes cats have ‘rounder’ faces; can be hard to tell on cats that were speyed quite young, but males capable of having children tend to have quite chubby cheeks. Plus, the black cat looks to be going for a nipple underneath; and of course, it’s actually present in the picture, whereas dad cats are all ‘wham bam thank you ma’am’ and will usually be miles away once children appear.
Far be it from me to assume pronouns, but that doesn’t really look like a dad cat to me…
Got a properly great singing voice, too.
Well, you’ve had a lucky few months off. Our three just did not stop this year.
If your cat could explain to ours how to either eat all of the mouse or none of the mouse, that would be amazing. I don’t mind them feeding on low-carbon organic meals hand-prepared by local artisans, the hipsters. But I do mind stepping in all the bits and pieces that they didn’t care to finish.
I’ve installed both Arch (systemd) and Void (runit) on the same laptop as an experiment to see whether you could have them both coexisting on the same filesystem. (Which you can - main difficulty is keeping their kernel names separate in /boot.) There was very little difference between them in time-to-desktop. Arch was faster, if anything. And I run more services on a desktop than I would on a server.
Choosing init scripts over systemd is fine for philosophical reasons or if you prefer it for maintenance, but speed isn’t an issue. Init scripts are simpler, but systemd goes to great efforts to start things in parallel. Critical servers should be load-balanced and redundant anyway so that you can restart them for updates; whether they take a second longer to start-up doesn’t matter.
What is my cat doing on your mat, when she has a perfectly good beanbag to stretch out on? At least I know what she’s up to when she sneaks outside, now…
If you’re just wanting to play it, you don’t really need the models, do you? Couple of packets of the cheapest army men you can find in the toy shop will do it you want fancy pieces, but just folding a piece of card in half so that it stands upright and writing on it what it is will suffice.
3D printing would do very nicely for the one-off models that you don’t want to kitbash, of course. Also great for playing DnD with; another game where you’re not obliged to use the ‘genuine books’ to play either.
Goatse and LemonParty also had very short URL links to their images, so you could sneak in the <img src= bit into a comment field that only allowed like, fifty characters, and still have some room for a bit of text too.

They are remarkably expensive, but ‘microchip reading cat feeders’ do exist, that only open for the pet with the correct chip in their back. There’s a token for their collars if they’re not chipped, too. Made mealtime with our three much less fraught - we’d have ended up with one spherical cat and two rake-thin ones, otherwise. Also make medical treatments easier - you know who’s the only one who could have eaten it.

Am afraid it’s not even the king. Eris is both substantially more massive and further away. In fact, it’s the discovery of Eris that led to the realisation that Pluto shouldn’t be considered a planet at all.
Aww, sweet looking puss. Good work on taking her in.
Was kind of hoping that your other cats would be called Ryuk and L, but that might be asking for trouble.
Aww, man alive. Most perfect desktop environment I’ve seen in years, and then it’s a full OS rather than just a DE. Had been looking in the ArchWiki for how to install it and everything.
SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!!
The sound and the video would get out of sync if you left it on long enough, like 24 hours or so, for added confusion.
Good name, though - I like it.
My three all flop out in front of you and demand belly rubs - they will pull your hand back in if you try and stop. The tortie is quite vocal about it, too. Fine if it’s one of them, but if two of them get you then that’s what you’re doing for the rest of the day, and good luck trying to drink anything.
