  • China Planted 78 Billion New Trees, and Seriously Messed Up Its Water Cycle

    Jump

  • That's still over a billion trees a year. Actually that's over 1,500,000,000 trees a year. Again...HOW?

    And this begs a side question. Out of those 78 Billion trees, how many are alive now?

  • Wait.... 78 Billion trees. As in with a 'b' billion? In all seriousness, how?

  • US Troops Given Nearly Empty Trays On Warships Deployed Near Iran: Report

  • Yes, yes it was. You just don't remember when. Morality is learned, for good or ill. And as I said to someone else, it doesn't absolve them so much as it explains them.

  • You didn't read what I wrote, did you? Or if you did, you ignored it.

    No worries, have a good rest of your day.

  • Except for a lot of people it's never put to them that way. "Join the Navy, See the World." "Learn a career in the Army" "Want to go to college? Serve your country for 4 years and have you tuition paid by the GI Bill."

    Should people know better? Definitely, but the sad truth is that a very large number of them didn't know better because it was never put to them the way it was put to you.

  • I like how the first thing he did was something the Cons were pushing for...

    And then people complained about it.

  • An employee who allegedly burned down a California warehouse compared himself to Luigi Mangione in a message to co-workers after setting the fire.

  • If 9/11 taught us anything it is that there is nothing a man cannot do if he no longer fears the consequences.

  • What is the fantasy book/series everyone should read?

    Jump

  • The Lensman series by E.E. "Doc" Smith. The series as a whole is the defining work of Space Opera.

    Longtime Conservative MP Marilyn Gladu joins Liberals in stunning floor crossing

  • Better idea.

    Get a Costco executive membership. They will let you return anything, no matter how old it is. I should know, I work in a Costco processing returns in the back, which is where I'm typing this.

    Last week I processed a return on a couch that was 4 years old. The member got a full refund of 5k, and we're going to eat that because the vendor has a credit limit of two years.

    Costco's internal numbers say that people who return stuff spend twice as much over the course of a year compared to non-returners and they will do anything to keep that sweet membership fee coming in. So you can literally recycle your entire house on the cost of a single yearly payment.

  • Um... What does that have to do with my comment?

  • I'm basically watching 3 "bad guys" beat on each other. You can't be sure who you want to cheer on, or complain about more than the other. It's a strange feeling, to be sure.

  • Windows 12 Reportedly Set for Release This Year as a Fully Modular, Subscription-Based, AI-Focused OS

    Jump

  • I'll look into Mint. I need something that will work well with games (I've been a gamer my whole life) and OBS for my streams.

    And not retired yet. Just old.

  • And that mon ami, is why I'm even considering going back to Linux. I will admit one reason I'm hesitant is that I'm a senior citizen now (fuck it feels weird to actually say that out loud), and I'm concerned about how well I can learn a new operating system. Mind you, they say mental challenges help keep the brain young :D

  • Windows 12 Reportedly Set for Release This Year as a Fully Modular, Subscription-Based, AI-Focused OS

  • My big issue was that every time I wanted to use software that wasn't native to Linux it could take up to two weeks of forum hunting, Google searches, and just plain hair tearing to find out how to do something.

    Getting Eve Online to run wound up requiring a font install and deleting the in-game music folder. Not the things you expect an average or even better than average user to know or expect to do.

    And that is just one of the instances that stick in my memory

    And I say this as a dedicated Windows user who spent a year on Ubuntu Linux a decade ago and hated it. Windows does this, and sign me up for penguin lessons.
