Good to know! Being a Canadian, I’m pretty determined to transfer over to linux before Microsoft stops supporting windows 10 but have been pretty intimidated by various horror stories etc.

I can think of few better shots at America than getting linux to be a viable and free alternative to Windows for mainstream businesses and users.

What separates Bruce Wayne from other people apart from money?

The willingness to devote their lives to training in all forms of combat and gymnastics and push themselves past Olympic mastery (as well as all the esoteric knowledge and studying required to become the world’s greatest detective.)

And here’s the thing, if your theory were correct there should be multiple Batmen. It’s bizzare to claim that somehow the existence of one billionaire means no one else is able to become one or devote their lives etc.

Just to make sure I understand your position… Your theory is that if other people had Bruce Wayne’s money, they would spend it on advanced tech, weaponry and simultaneously devote their lives to training in all forms of combat and gymnastics and push themselves past Olympic mastery (as well as all the esoteric knowledge and studying required to become the world’s greatest detective) and thus be able to save the universe when asked, despite no one else doing this? Like the only thing stopping people in the D.C universe from becoming Batman is because Bruce Wayne has more money than most people?a

I love ++, so good!

Yes, he is the only billionaire.

I have a Japanese rice cooker (neuro fuzzy rice cooker by zojirushi) and goddamn it is good.

I know Panasonic was a Japanese company and my microwave is by them as well. (I admittedly splurged and got a fancy model second hand but it is the most ridiculously impressive microwave I’ve ever owned and I can’t go back.)

I’m pretty sure most of the time the Justice League saved the world it’s not because they were just giving the military a break.

Except in DC most groups can’t stop threats like Darkseid. There’s a reason the top group is the Justice League and a reason Batman is one of the founding members.

If you’re theory held, there should be all sorts of justice leagues etc.

I always wonder what social service is going to stop Darkseid etc.

Ooooh, didn’t know about the playlist transfer, I’ve got to dig into that!

A) Thanks for trying, every bit helps! And hey, even if you can’t buy Canadian, not buying American is pretty helpful!

B) there’s a community set up for all these questions and recommendations etc:

As far as I understand it, that system is also why our eggs still cost normal amounts. (If a farm has to cull their birds because of avian flu, it’s not millions of chickens.)

Stabilizing might not be quite the right word I’m looking for. But for example, trying to connect a new wifi card etc. Or when one program updates but this causes instability and you have to undo the update. Even from the handful of linux wizards I know, their battle stories with updates or new configurations are enough to terrify someone.

In what way was your response meaningfully different from your original comment?

Are you an llm? Most humans, instead of restating what they’ve already said, actually read the comment to which they are replying.

Wait, this seems silly. You are in effect saying that it’s wrong to blame those who stayed home because some of them would have voted for trump? Like, we’d still blame those people too had they actually voted trumo.

The blame isn’t just because you voted for trump it is because you didn’t try to stop him, which applies both to those who voted for him and those who didn’t vote.

That was a cathartic watch, thank you.

There’s some great stuff in there, I can’t wait to introduce my buddy to Fubar.

Also been curious about My Shiva Year, Men w Brooms, Incendies and Akilla’s escape.

If you haven’t seen it, Blackberry is a fun one. Room is, well, not fun but quite good.

I think you’re missing the point a bit.

Both BuyCanadian and BuyEuropean are about supporting their respective economies as they are boycotting America’s.

For Canada, we’re looking at a recession (brought on by our “ally”) so people are trying to help fellow Canadians out as things get rough and people lose jobs.

While I support FOSS and recommend them in threads etc I fully understand why they don’t meet all the goals of those movements. (That being said, I think one of the most rocking counter punches would be EU investment in stabilizing Linux enough to make it a feasible alternative to Windows/Apple for casual and corporate users, solid shot to 2 of the magnificent 7.)
