I am in a similar situation with my guns. I have two antique long guns. They’re locked up, in the crawl space, and I don’t keep any ammo in my house.
I have depression and I don’t trust myself not to use my guns to kill myself. For me, the inconvenience of accessing them and obtaining ammo feels like a safe compromise.
I agree that this is an enormous problem with no easy solutions.
I was thinking the same thing.
Good for you for working on your depression!
I’ve used Windows since 3.1. I was installing Windows 10 on a laptop a few years ago. The changes they’d made to core functions were so frustrating, I felt like I didn’t know how to use Windows anymore.
I figured I might as well try a new OS. It’s not like I loved Windows.
I did a dual boot with Windows and Ubuntu. I never logged into Windows again.
I’m not obsessed or an evangel. I don’t code. I don’t mess around with the OS. I browse the internet and do some piracy. That’s it.
I think it’s great that Linux is mature enough that a dumb user like me can easily switch over from Windows.
Your troubleshooting skills are above average, tbh.
You’ve identified that there’s an issue. You tried something simple to remedy. You even tried it again to make sure.
You didn’t make a bunch of crazy assumptions about what the problem was. You didn’t do a bunch of weird shit all at once to try to fix it. You didn’t do something to make the problem worse.
You’re doing great!
Smelling a roll of plastic garbage bags. There’s just something about that smell
I wholeheartedly agree. They should be euthanized quickly and painlessly.
Great response!
I too will keep voting for the better choice.
Cooking. I love to cook for my friends and family. I’ve been perfecting my homemade pizza for years. It’s very good and I love to make it for guests.
I’ve had people say I should open a pizzaria, especially since the one good one in town shut down.
Fuck that.
Any second-hand business class laptop that fits your budget, i.e. HP Elitebook/Probook/Zbook, Dell Inspiron/Latitude/XPS, or Lenovo Thinkpad.
Second this. I have a 10 year old Lenovo running Ubuntu that suits my minimal needs just fine

I’m a sweaty mofo and need the strong stuff.
I went with Ubuntu when I did my first Linux install about 5 years ago. I still use it and have been super happy with it.
Everything has just worked. With a bit of googling, I’ve been able to easily do everything I’ve needed to.
I’m a user, not a programmer. I tried Linux because I was fed up with Windows. I’d been using Windows since 3.1 and hated how they changed basic functionality every revision. I just wanted a fucking OS that worked and made sense m
I’m so happy I switched!
Charging infrastructure is still pretty shit compared to refueling a gas car as well.
Hard agree. People would not be killing themselves in droves if these issues weren’t present.
We have a shitload of guns in this country. Nothing is going to change that.
While I think we do need more strict gun ownership laws, they’re not going to change the amount already in people’s hands. Nor will they make people less miserable.
What we need are tangible improvements in people’s lives. Improved wages. Lower housing costs. Affordable healthcare. Quality, free treatment for addiction.
These are the things that will keep people from killing themselves.
