That’s North Canary Island. It’s not on many maps because it formed recently from a submerged volcano. Maybe you remember hearing about that a few years ago?

Any chance this could install through the Linux Mint Software Manager, for auto updates?

Thank you. Works well. I’m much happier with the interface I used for over 30 years in Photoshop, it’s helpful to have that emulated somewhat in GIMP.

I also tracked down how to set the scroll wheel to zoom without the need for the Ctrl key, which was another annoyance. I’ve tried before to discover this, but failed. Maybe I was looking at the official documentation, which could use some work. Anyway, here’s how to get the scroll wheel to zoom without the Ctrl key:

This is akin to the nature vs. nurture debate–that is, how much of one’s personality is due to nature or to the people who raised them and the environment they grew up in? As the article I linked states, it far messier than the simple title implies.

Kids are not born as identical blank slates, they come straight into the world with their own set of personality traits that are essentially “hard wired”.

So, the answer is, you do the best you can, and hope for the best. There are no guarantees that raising your kid a certain way will result in a “good” kid. And, “good” kids can come from shitty upbringings.

I have two sisters and a brother, we were all raised by the same parents in the same house, together. Our parents loved us and did their best to raise us, which was pretty damn good. However, we are all as different from each other as we could be. In the past I’ve described us as the four corners of a world map–which, when the corners come together, make a globe.

Yes, but there is no guarantee this will work.

Outside, against the wall, alone. At least that’s where I sat in high school. So, maybe with the wasps?

IIRC, this is from Dr. Who(?)

It’s not easy.

Don’t smoke, don’t drink, don’t use recreational drugs.

No sugar, no processed foods. Make all your own meals from the freshest ingredients you can afford, mostly vegetables. Food is not entertainment, food is not reward.

Avoid antibiotics in your cleaning products and food, so when you need them to save your life, they work better.

Exercise, move, get up off your ass.

Pay attention to your body, don’t avoid doctors because you don’t want bad news. The longer you wait, the worse it gets. The older you get, the more issues you have. Doing the previous things above, makes this part much easier.

Put yourself first, if you don’t take care of yourself, you can’t take care of anyone else.

I was late to the Flat Earth thing, I assumed it started as satire for a couple of years after hearing about it, but didn’t pay it any attention. I was disappointed to learn that it was not satire, and too many (more than zero) believed it was true.

On the upside, I suppose, I now am more aware of just how fucking stupid people can be, and that’s good. Gotta keep your guard up when meeting new people, ya never know, ya know?

No, thanks. I’ll stick with my long-since-paid-for, 25-year-old Maytag. That is, as long as it works.

I recall reading in Consumer Reports many years ago that most refrigerators were discarded not because they stopped working, but because of cosmetic damage. Broken plastic door shelves, dents, rust, out of style, etc. The compressors were still fine.

Good luck, I hope you find your files.

About two years ago, while switching to Linux, I mistakenly formatted one of my hard drives with some semi-important content. I didn’t well understand Linux’s method of designating drives, got confused, and moved too fast. There was no recovery for me. Every once in a while now, I think, “Hmm, I wonder what happened to that… oh, right.”

I bought FO4 off GOG a couple of days ago, because I’m fucking tired of Steam breaking my game every few weeks with mandatory updates, I think it was on sale for black friday. If that doesn’t count, then count me in.

It’s a continuum, of course, like everything. Most people sit somewhere in the middle, with a few people defining the extremes.

No, most people are not horrible.

That is exactly how it looks. The timing is correct. I can imagine the argument, although, they might not have loved each other enough to even argue about it by that point.

My education system didn’t fail me, I failed it.

Nashville should have consulted with Shelbyville before starting.

I predict failure.

Rear view cameras have been required by law for a few years now. I’m pretty sure it was a ploy by manufacturers to get a screen on every dashboard so they could sell ads.

I don’t see what one-day blinding stew has to do with hair biting. But, I’ll look into it tomorrow
