After its initial run, no one gave a shit about that song until The Sopranos ended the show with it. Then it held on long enough for Glee to cover it and suddenly every drunk white girl claims it as "my jam!" whenever it's played.
I have a 2012 macbook pro, the battery life of apple products is notoriously bad under Linux. I got a new battery and still couldn't get 3 hours of usage out of it.
That aside, linux runs great when you get it to boot. I didn't have any luck getting Ubuntu to boot but Fedora and Manjaro run really well. I'm a fan of Gnome, I'd recommend walking your friend through different desktop environments.
I tried using Graphene in September when they said they got it working but the best I got was a day before I had to jump through hoops to get it connected again.
If they fixed it this month I'd love to jump in and try again.
Qimir was great and I think the big lightsaber fight is some of the best in live action star wars.
However, the story is horribly under developed and is full of nepotism. I don't care that the setting is a lesbian witch commune, I do care that the showrunner hired her wife, who's acting is so bad, I spent the first scenes she's in wondering how she got the job.
The trailers hyped Carrie-Anne Moss and positioned the show almost as a star war version of The Matrix type action, only to kill her character almost immediately.
I don't like the description the other person commented about what meditation is because it makes no sense to me whenever I read it, so here's my take:
You can't stop yourself from thinking, that's not what meditation is, imagine telling people you don't walk because you can't run a marathon. Meditation is training is to slowly teach yourself when you're having a thought and think about it objectively. How does it do that? By asking you to do one thing: sit. Sit down and when your thought comes you're going to get involved with it, it will take you down a rabbit hole. At some point, however, you're going to REALIZE you're deep in the thought. That realization is the first step. Once you've REALIZED you're in the thought you just sit again. Take a few deep breaths, feel what your stomach feels while you breath in and out. Now another thought shows up and you start going with it. You ride that thought for a few minutes and then REALIZE you're thinking, you took another step.
The marathon is being able to do this every moment of your daily life, that's a tall ask that's not really achievable to most people.
What is achievable, to stick with the metaphor, is a few miles everyday. Right now anxiety hits you over some situation and you go through every doomsday scenario in your head, causing you more anxiety and stress. Building up a meditation habit puts a space between the thing that triggered your anxiety and the spiral of thoughts so you can use that space to analyze the anxiety and not let it take you over.
Imagine you have a problem, you tell your friend your problem, your friend flips out and gives you some insane answer that isn't helpful. You tell your friend that answer is ridiculous and your friend stops acting on emotion and starts giving you real problem solving help.
The friend is your brain, telling your friend the answer is ridiculous is the meditation doing the work in the real world.
Io, hands down.
It's volcanic because it's being squished and pulled by Jupiter's gravity.
