Sentient Loom

I’m very happy with my EndeavourOS installation. It’s arch-based, but with easier installation and some apps to help maintain the system. I’ve had it on my T16 for more than 2 years now.

Fedora is probably the most obvious choice though, since you’ve already used it.

it could be anything.

But you have to actually believe it. So the trick is to find your purpose, as much as it is to make it up. There’s something in you that wants to come out… or maybe not!

A) There is no point.

B) The point is whatever you want, whatever you value.

C) Somebody keeps living after you, so “the point” is to pass things forward because “something” happens, to somebody else after you die. We inherit everything from our ancestors.

D) How should I know?

Because I hit my elbow against my pinkie.

I’m not a scientist, but when I asked the same question before they said, “compression.”

Like, the stick would absorb the power of your push, and it would shrink (across its length) before the other end moved. When the other end does finally move, it’s actually the compression reaching it.

If I didn’t do it then I’d be thinking about doing it.

I’ll interrogate my inner experience next time I’m standing at the lights, and I’ll report back if I discover anything interesting (unless it’s really damning information).

There’s no rationality to it. I don’t get out my calculator and graph paper to plot out the best possible course of action. I just push the button a few times. And sometimes I push it a few more times.

I think we know it doesn’t help, but we do it anyway.

that your base metabolic rate slows as you age and is primarily responsible for you putting weight on in middle age

Is this not true?

This is actually good common sense. It works much more than 50% of the time. You’re responding to the very specific instance of anti-vaxxers, whose claims of relying on the immune system instead of vaccines are not considered common sense by most people.

You have more control over your attitude than over politics, or other peoples’ opinions. Don’t exhaust yourself and don’t strain your relationships uselessly. They want to bring you down and push you out. I usually reject stoicism, but this is a good time to be stoic and keep your energy reserves, and your attitude, fresh.

If anyone knew the answer there would be no addicts.

In the end, their drive to sobriety must be consistently stronger than the drive for drugs. There’s no moral system with the power to counteract that. And it’s not a moral failure that they can’t.

In other contexts people love to blather about the power of discipline over motivation. Well this proves the lie. It has to come down to motivation, consistently. And you probably don’t have the power to motivate them to consistently stay sober. You can’t make sobriety consistently more enticing than getting high. The rest of us are more enamored by what sobriety offers. We are not morally stronger. We just prefer being sober, consistently (or some of us prefer other, less-destructive forms of intoxication).

Sorry about your friend. Take care of yourself.

Because they peed on your fucking rug.

Actually I just get one bottle (of each) every 2 years. Even so, it’s slightly expensive, and I bet that there’s a cheaper alternative if I could find out what the ingredients are.

Oh it makes a huge difference. Without humidifiers I get awful dry skin and nosebleeds from the dry heat of the heaters in winter.

This humidifier is different from the vaporizers I used before. Those ones would get mouldy and would only last a year.

It’s a Venta Air washer. It has a turbine inside the water reservoir that slowly turns the water like a mill, so the water evaporates more slowly than with a vaporizer. And on top there’s a fan sucking air down into the wet churning turbine, so the air is being pushed through all the wet pieces of the turbine. Somehow that takes impurities out of the air, they stick to the water. And the impurities don’t evaporate, so as the water slowly evaporates you can see it getting dirtier over a few days.

EDIT: I have a two-bedroom apartment and the one humidifier makes the whole place comfortable. It’s a really good purchase. You have to buy a liquid to add to the water though.

I found this video that sort of explains it:

I should clean more often.

But my humidifier is also an air purifier and it pulls a LOT of dirt from the air. I change the water every week and it’s filthy. Surprising how much dirt is in the air to “purify.”

It’s subjective, so this is just a gross explosion of branding. Cheapest astroturfing ever.

Fine, I’ll squat for legal reasons!
