This is what I ended up doing, and it works great. I knew about aliases, but didn’t really use them at all - I didn’t know about bash functions though.
So now I have a few functions in .bashrc for short things and am just aliasing shell scripts for easy access
Oooh ty that makes a lot of sense. I was unaware of that functionality.
This should be the next step for me. When you do aliased commands, can they take arguments? Like to download a playlist with yt-dlp, could i do download-playlist [URL]?
For the unaware, they do this for livestock shows. If you can get your cow’s coat long (by cold exposure, ideally - makes them fluffy), you can shape the hair to give them the appearance of better conformation.
That can mean the illusion of a straighter back (basically by giving them like an eraser haircut along the back), more width in whatever areas might be lacking, a more balanced physique, etc.
It’s a whole thing and if you go to a livestock show you’ll see people meticulously grooming their cows like this
It’s really easy. Linux Mint. Bootable USB. Back up your important files on a separate harddrive. Plug in USB. Reboot. Install. Port old files over. Good as new
Bonus points for looking into how to optimize your partition structure, but it’d be fine to just let it do its thing. Also like… I guess you should probably make sure your audio and video cards are supported, but they like 98% are
~100mg - 300mg/day. That is 1 cup of coffee (espresso-based drink) to 3 max.
I try to limit myself to 1 now unless I am really tired or am having trouble focusing/thinking clearly. I was up to 2-3 every day, but it was messing with my anxiety more than I realized at first.
Anyone know what’s up with Fred’s head? Did he have some sort of congenital deformity or did he have part of his skull removed or something?
People believed them. That’s why there are documents detailing various agencies’ research into Epstein & co.
If no one believed them, no one would have looked into it.
Now, the Trump admin and captured agencies are trying to cover it up, redact abusers names, release victims names/info/pictures, cover the whole thing up, etc. But that’s a different story.

“West African” Peanut Stew, which is an Americanized version of various groundnut stews/maafe, is super nutritious and cheap. It is quick if you put in 1hr in advance to make like 3kg of soup, ~8 servings, for ~10 bucks. I think it’d freeze OK too.
Look up a recipe, but basically: 1 onion, garlic, 6c broth (vegetable in your case), 2lbs sweet potatoes (maybe 3lbs if vegetarian), 1 bunch greens (collards, kale, mustard greens, whichever you have/like/are ceapest), can diced tomatoes, peanut butter, 2-3tbsp vinegar, optional spices (cumin, turmeric, bay leaves, chili powder, paprika, cayenne pepper/red pepper flakes, oregano, minced ginger, msg, etc), optional garnishes: peanuts, cilantro.
Sautee 1 diced onion in a pot until translucent, add garlic and spices & sautee 30s more, add 6c broth, 2lbs cubed sweet potatoes, chopped greens, can of diced tomatoes. Bring to a boil and simmer for 20mins. Take off the heat and add 1c peanut butter and 2tbsp of vinegar (recommend adding 1tbsp at a time and tasting so as not to add too much), stir to combine. Serve.
I add 1lb chicken to mine and it makes like 3kgs of soup. Calorie dense, nutritious, very tasty. I also add a small amount of soy sauce, fish sauce, and/or worcesteshire when adding the liquid - imo this mimics some of the fermented sauces used in West African foods. Apple cider vinegar added at same time as the peanut butter really improves the dish. Salt and pepper throughout cooking, of course - but even without spices this is a tasty soup. Spices do help though.
That’s a really good point. Sliding scale payment maybe (with no cap on income - if you make a million bucks a year and are always speeding, you’re going to be paying a hefty fine)
I feel like the better option is to have local government foot the bill - but the driver owes the value of the device if it’s lost or damaged. In theory, insurance would have to cover at least some of this (given it’d be wired into the car) and they can still use their car. AND if they drive safely, they should owe nothing long-term.
That’s idealistic though. I’m sure the “tough on crime” crowd would want the individual to foot the bill despite it making everyone safer.
And speed is highly correlated to the lethality of car wrecks. Also, it sounds like the devices would be installed in the cars of people who… speed frequently.
So, it is directly addressing the problem without asset seizure or jail time. Sounds like an ideal solution, actually.
It’s always the ones you most suspect
+1 for smart launcher. I got it back when the paid version was like 5 bucks. It’s more now, but I’ve been very happy with it overall.
Lawnchair also looks great. I’d consider switching if Smart Launcher becomes enshittified or if Lawnchair has better features.
Lots of these creeps could do that. The thing is they won’t to “protect their legacy” when, ironically, speaking out, admitting their own crimes, apologizing to their victims & taking full legal and personal accountability, and taking the other bastards down would be the best thing they could do to leave something of a positive legacy and begin to atone.
Art of the deal, folks
More like gen x right? But yeah the whole "sad sack stuck in boring desk job is actually a superhero ludicrously buff guy with pronouns as his name " schtick is extremely cringe
