  • Future archeologists, "Whoever built this place must have been super badass. Look at all these sweet skull posters everywhere! Totally kick ass vibe, man. These guys totally fucked. Cant wait to bring all my friends here."

  • I went with Mint. I've read it's the easiest for beginners. Once I learn more about this new environment, I may experiment with others. I have 3 1T drives in my PC and I have one dedicated for that process whenever I get to that point. Thats the idea anyways.

  • I switch to Linux 2 days ago and have been enjoying testing my Steam library. So far, everything Ive tested run BETTER in Mint than they did on Win10. Im currently waiting on BG3's massive 120GB download to complete but I'm looking forward to finally booting it up again.

    The Linux community has been so friggin helpful in getting me up and going.

  • That did it! Thank you so much!

  • Ill definitely look into this.

  • I'm installing Mint for the first time at this very moment. So far, it's easier than I anticipated. Fuck You Microsoft.

    Edit: bro, firstly, what the fuck and where did all this performance come from?!?! I vastly underestimated how many resources windows was hogging. I downloaded Steam (easy-peasy) and then Project Zomboid just as a test. This game runs like butter now. I was having major problems with it before. To the point I basically stopped playing. I know its just one example but I haven't had my machine run this well in several years, I feel. Also, got Spotify running. Super easy. I need to figure out how to get my VPN set up (ProtonVPN) but so far, I'm kind of in shock. I can't wait to actually dig in and see what I can do with this new setup.

  • Fahrenheit. Switching to Kelvin soon, tho. For shop temp accuracy!

  • I don't think you read my response. I wasn't attacking you at all. I'm not one of those mean shits on here. I certainly meant no aggression.

  • Lol. Dude, with all due respect, did you skip breakfast or something? First, body parts? Take a drink of water, please. You're dehydrated. Also, although I agree imperial isn't completely useless, one of its strengths is not because the size of the contental United States. It's not like miles and kilometers are orders of magnitude different when measuring an identical distance. Lightyears and astronomical units are terrible units to use to describe a drive from LA to NYC for this reason, but is it really that big if a deal between choosing miles and kilometers? I don't see it that way.

    The main reason why I use metric with my work is because I commonly deal in millimeters / sub-inches. If I used inches, everything would be shitty fractions and I hate fractions. To me, metric is just cleaner when increasing or decreasing magnitudes. Which I generally stay within cm and mm.

    Within industrial applications, such a building a structure in the US, yeah, it makes sense to stick ti imperial because it is indeed the national unit of measurement. But outside that reason, I don't find much of a benefit. Coincidentally, I moved off grid 3 weeks ago and am building a cabin way out in the woods. Because its just me and I plan to stay here until my end, I'll definitely use metric. If I was just developing a place I intended to flip, I'd use Imperial singularly because I'm in the US.

  • Yes. I misspoke. Millimeters ÷ 25.4= inches. Inches x 25.4 = mm.

  • I'm an American and every last bit of my shop is metric. It is the superior unit of measurement in every aspect. I don't bother with imperial at all. If I have to list dimensions online in imperial, just multiply mm x 25.4 which gives me inches. That's as far as Ill go into inches and feet.

    I've said this before and Ill say it again, the US was robbed of the superior unit of measurement.

  • So crazy man. Im really glad I never had kids. Im 40 now and Im just now feeling like I may consider it. No offence to 20 years olds but seeing someone that age with two or three kids blows my mind. I feel like Im just barely old enough to even think about kids.

  • When I first got the game Factorio, for the first week, I was having full on hallucinations of the little conveyor belt arrows twisting and snaking all over my vision when I closed my eyes. Even when I blinked, id get a flash of some grotesque squirming abomination. Scared the shit outta me because I'd never experienced that before nor even heard of it. I was relieved when I learned it was a known thing but it was still distracting as all hell.

  • The only thing it proves is that I'll use any old screen shot to validate my nonsensical internal dialog.

  • I misread your post at first. I edit this to simply "Weed and video games, fuck yeah!"

  • I remember asking my dad why he didn't watch cartoons anymore when I was a wee little fucker. He said that I wouldn't like cartoons either when I become an adult. Still waiting, dad. Still waiting.

  • Exactly. It's an art in itself. A cross fade was laying the diagonal cuts of two strips onto each other at the seam. Your fade time what the angle of the cut. DAWs visualize that but it used to be an actual cut. Wild times back then. Digital completely took over right after I left college and it's a shame because there's something special in there that makes every edit mean something. With no Ctrl-Z, every cut is a commitment.

    If you look up pics of old iconic rock master reels, some of those things look like a Frankenstein monster. But once they put it on wax for sale, you'd never know the reels looked like hot garbage.
