  • Lots of pants out there that have pockets. They often choose not to buy them. And when they do, they put nothing in them.

    For what it's worth, according to my wife and 4 daughters it's because it's because if you put things in your pockets like guys do, it ruins the lines and look. And according to our oldest daughter, it's why cargo shorts and pants look bad on men. And should never be worn.

  • That's why some medications are "do not operate heavy machinery" on the label. A vehicle is heavy machinery and those medications can easily effect your abilities.

  • "We" is the majority of people compared to way back when and today. Don't be obtuse. Just compare the thoughts and beliefs of one mere generation ago from anywhere on the planet as compared to today if you need an example. And people across the planet and history have always had different thoughts and beliefs than they do today. No matter your take on the "imperial core".

    As to why copy a rare 1000 year old design as close as possible? It's their bauble and choice, not yours or mine, (though I will defend their right to do so). And besides it's what the word "copy" means. Not "similar" or "kind of like it".

  • The mind set just might have been a lot different from how we think today.......

    And if you want a copy of a 1000 year old ring, you really should copy it and not edit it to fit someone else's notions about religion.

  • The Great Unwashed Masses have ONLY ever been able to protest at the patience of their government.

    If any form of government decides they are too bothered by a protest, they WILL crack down and either jail you, (if you are lucky), or outright kill you to make the protests go away.

  • I spent a mere $500 for my Pixel 9a. Most expensive phone I've ever owned. But at least I can send a text message from inside my house and make phones from out in my yard now.

  • It's getting harder and harder to afford high end computers. I have already decided my next new computer will be a mini desktop. They are noticeably cheaper, can be well spec'ed, and powerful with a small foot print.

  • Have you taken a look at Aurora yet? It asks if you have an nVidia chipset and will automatically build an iso for you to install. It wasn't the distro I wanted, but it was a smooth install and ran well.

  • Steam data reveals PC gamers shifting from Windows to Linux

  • That's a valid way too. It's just that a lot of people aren't really ready to dive in with both feet from the start. No matter how easy Linux has become or we might think its is. Change is scary and hard. And I think that's a problem that holds back many people yet today.

  • That possible for sure. But I don't see dual booting being as common as it once was. Owning an old spare computer is pretty common these days. Heck, you can even get a dirt cheap mini desktop off of amazon and a referb/used/spare monitor and have a completely fine old time messing around with different distros without a care in the world. And that's a far easier entry into Linux than dual booting anymore.

  • The few photos I've seen showed unarmed Guardsmen. The national guard isn't automatically issued weapons and live ammo when called out.

    Pretty hard to have an itchy trigger finger when you don't have a rifle or ammo.
