You save up and get a second hand car you can afford. Why buy a new one, even a car with 30K miles or 50K KMs is a lot cheaper, while its still new enough to drive for a while without major repairs.

I had the same experience until i bought an HP (Omen) gaming laptop a couple of years ago. Even regular Ubuntu didn't boot from USB drive. I had to mess with some kernel parameters (ACPI or something) to even boot it. Unfortunately sometimes you have some hardware or weird bios that just doesn't work. Never had this with any other laptop after

I'm not sure why Bill is presenting this shit, but he should stop!

My kid sometimes makes up shit and completely presents it as facts. It made me realize how many made up facts I learned from other kids.

Exactly, I'm a dad with 2 kids, and the "war" on trans people is also a "war" on me. Because your rights are my rights and my rights are your rights. Freedom isn't a saladbar where you pick the things you like. Freedom only works if it works for all people. Like justice freedom should be blind to race, gender, sexuality, etc.

There is no freedom, without being free to, look, feel, dress, love, etc how you want.

You can replace Canada with any other country! Europe and the US aren't really friends anymore these days.

This is a tip for people that don't drive automatic transmission, if you ever try it, put it in R and really floor it. The R stands for racing mode!

For me it's the reason I started playing games again. Have been using Linux forever, didn't wanted a dual boot etc. So when games started to work on Linux I stared to buy and play more and more.

Although recently it has mostly been openRTC without steam.

Unfortunately I can't delete Whatsapp any time soon, for a long time I tried to convince my friends to use signal, but I just can't get them to switch. Also basically any handyman, plumber, painter, etc I know uses Whatsapp.

After Russia broke the agreement and attacked Ukraine, the US should have stepped in immediately and this entire was would have been prevented. I mean back in 2014 when the Russians took Crimea.

That's not very fair, the US also promised Ukraine protection if they'd removed their nukes in the 90s...

FYI

When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, Ukraine had the world’s third largest nuclear arsenal on its territory. When Ukrainian-Russian negotiations on removing these weapons from Ukraine appeared to break down in September 1993, the U.S. government engaged in a trilateral process with Ukraine and Russia. The result was the Trilateral Statement, signed in January 1994, under which Ukraine agreed to transfer the nuclear warheads to Russia for elimination. In return, Ukraine received security assurances from the United States, Russia and Britain; compensation for the economic value of the highly-enriched uranium in the warheads (which could be blended down and converted into fuel for nuclear reactors); and assistance from the United States in dismantling the missiles, missile silos, bombers and nuclear infrastructure on its territory.
