I recently tried duo lingo. I have a pretty strong background in Spanish, but want to brush up. It became apparent very quickly that the app is not about learning so much as keeping you in it. The lessons don’t make a ton of sense, and after not using app for a week, it demoted me to just 8 words that you would learn in your first class (hombre, el, agua, tu, etc.). There is no way to skip ahead.

In addition to dual booting, you can create a persistent USB drive. It’s a little tedious, but kind of a cool way to give your setup a spin.

I think you need Rufus to format the drive, to set up the USB drive so it doesn’t refresh when you reboot. I’m sure there are speed implications, but I’ve actually found it snappy enough for basic stuff once it loads. It’s a cool way to try different distros. I have a handful lying around. I still preferred mint in the end.

ACLU. They fight back against shitty laws that repress freedom and equality.

I am now prepared to have my world shattered by someone with an actually…

No, it will work out for them. They just made a 50% profit increase. I doubt if even 10% of subscribers cancel.

It worked for Netflix, Disney+, Hulu… People just need to stop buying shit, but they won’t.

… And the file is back open somehow. Only now the program throws an error when Windows launches, yet still leeches resources.

Panic

Same. I had two. They both started tracking weird after a few months. I’ve never had that issue with another mouse. Aside from that, the physical build of the mouse was the coolest design.

I would argue that Nixon’s pardon made future politicians a lot bolder with their crimes.

… But yeah, Reagan put everything in overdrive.

Anno 1800 and other games like that. I don’t have the patience for the learning curve.

Why we can’t have nice things?.. Like Uncharted 5?

This shouldn’t be a fine. Be knowingly lied, which lead to death. Manslaughter. Prison.

More then 400 charge cycles? So like… All of them

Yup. We might take things a little further than normal, but start dropping the N-word or beating your spouse and that’s not the alcohol talking. You’re just an asshole.

Chuck Schumer

It’s almost like we should have strong data privacy laws so companies can’t spy on everything we do…

Bidet.

Yeah. I said it.

For those interested. The game is actually based on a book from the 80’s called Maze. It was a contest offering a reward for the first to solve it. It’s only a maze in the same in the same sense Blue Prince is

By random coincidence, my wife has the book. You can definitely see the resemblance.

Yes, you get dead ends a lot in the beginning. Eventually you find strategy and permanent upgrades and many more room types.

That’s what I kept asking myself. “How fucking big is this game?”
