I don't know, this person has done a lot of decent things in his life. I'm not inclined to judge him by his worst decision.

I'm not really that familiar with LTT. I did subscribe to his channel, mainly because I was bemused by him borking his PC by rushing an install of Pop_OS and Steam. ("yes, do as I say", if you recall). Reading the PC Gamer article, it appears he did the same, "just drive on without thinking it through" approach to this prototype cooler. I haven't watched a lot of his videos and anyone can make a mistake but, there is an expectation that a "tech expert" show a bit of diligence. Plus, if he's showcasing a vendor, he should make sure they have every chance to shine.

.....this guy is starting to look like a poser now....

Seems to be working OK for me on FF with Ublock and Privacy Badger running.

Nah, it's Genesis, she's holding it upside down....

I looked at LBRY for a while, but it kinda looked like the "trashy tabloid" section of the internet.

I thought that was the Heterosexual Pride Flag? You know, blue for a man, pink for a woman, and white for the purity of God's love between them.

If he's going to dress like the, he's just asking for it.

The CEO was very careful to skirt applicable regulatory laws. He even called his passengers "crew members". In the aviation world, I have some experience harmonizing multiple regulatory authorities. Because of "international waters", there will need to be some agreement and harmonizing of regulations. There's already SOLAS so, I think it can be done.

I checked the wrong box on my birth certificate

Well, should a Liberal incite an insurrection against the United States, that precedent should be used against them.

cyberspace vs meat-space

In the aviation world, an experimental aircraft may not be used for "compensation or hire". The only exception is that a kitplane manufacturer is allowed to give demo flights.

"Man got so stuck in glory hole firefighters had to pull him until he was free"

This would have to be the opposite of a click bait headline....

I don't know. I get the sentiment against anyone who hoards wealth and/or earns it off of the suffering/exploitation of others. Thing is, in the aviation world, my job is to stop shit engineering like that from ever being allowed to carry passengers. I've recently learned my analog doesn't exist in the nautical world. I'm also aware that among those passengers was a 19 year old kid and a Titanic researched. The CEO was made aware of the vessel's shortcomings and was convinced he knew better. In the end, he dies from his own hubris and takes four people with him.

Have to agree. They had a great start by enhancing Debian and being user friendly but, then they just kind of lost their way.

I know it's a joke but, what's disturbing is that I also know there's probably a market for them....

For a new user who just wants a good OS to start with, Pop_OS is a fine choice. A little surprised you had trouble with Mint identifying your WiFi card but, I see others have posted on it. Mint is typically my go-to recommendation for new Linux users.

Maybe he'll be staying there? They could call it "Mar-a-Uh-Ohh"?

Although, speaking as a fan of Mint who used it as my "daily driver" for years, I think the time has come for them to switch from Ubuntu to Debian and embrace Wayland. I know that, if I'd stayed with Mint, I've have gone to LMDE by now.

"His wife" could be a....let's say, "euphemism" for something else. In which case, that ain't rainwater falling.....

Palia is brand new (still in open Beta) It's more focused on low-key crafting/farming and community, but opportunities to socialize are there.

Guild Wars 2 is my favorite "no subscription required" MMORPG that could work for you (but you have that one).
.
ESO Online is my favorite "subscription" MMO and I've met people there.
.
FFXIV is decent for socializing but, the hard-core gamers can stress you out. Works best if you join a low key guild that doesn't want to speed-run all the duties and crap on you for not being as good as they are.
.
General rule for MMORPGs in general is, find a guild you like and hang with them.

I don't know about the others, but Coast Guard gets paid regardless. These events justify their budget. It wasn't an "extra cost" to the taxpayers.

I don't know, Linus is still trying to excuse and justify. It would seem taking him out of the driver's seat was the right call. As for the rest, they are responding because their backs are against the wall. Time will tell if they will really make any changes.

They are, indeed, irony immune....

Holy crap, how depraved do you have to be for PornHub to block you?

Great.....and what exactly does that have to do with people working overtime and not getting paid for it?

I've used both. Manjaro, in their attempt to be "user friendly", winds up disconnecting you from what makes Arch good. EndeavorOS, on the other hand, is basically Arch nicely set up for a "daily driver" PC along with some nice tools of their own you can use or not at your discretion. I've also used just plain Arch and I actually prefer EndeavourOS of the three.

No, son....ya got it all wrong! I was wanted to repaint the stucco walls in the basement and wanted to be sure the latex paint would work.....that's why I Googled "Latex Bondage"....

United States Federal Aviation Administration, I believe EASA is similar.

Maybe he hasn't found his face yet? , or all of his donors?

...That's OK dad....I think you misunderstood too. I was just trying to learn more about this cool game on Steam...

.....and Cable TV didn't eliminate commercials......and ATMs didn't reduce banking costs resulting in higher interest on savings......etc....

A friend of mine, who's much more knowledgeable in these regulatory issues, filled me in somewhat. I guess, to make it work, it will require a high level of international cooperation. Frustrating because I've been in meetings with CEOs like that, but I've had the delegated authority to enforce proper design practices. All anyone could do with him was plead with him to see reason before he gets someone killed.

Don't you almost wish you had a Truth Social account right now? I bet you could make S'Mores off the seething, flaming, butt-hurt coming off his feed right now ;)

I believe the condition is called "Rectal Oculitus", when your head gets stuck so far up your ass it gives you a shitty outlook. ;)

As long as that's made clear up front, OK. It might make it tougher for online support communities within kbin. Even if you used an alternate account, you wouldn't be able to share anything too personal. On the other hand, maybe kbin is saying that's a responsibility they can't take on. They can always link to external support sites I suppose.

Those are the two I'm most familiar with in my profession, at least as far as civilian authorities are concerned. Can't really say "no" and, I'm pretty sure neither can you. On the other hand, feel free to prove me wrong with a counter example. :)

You can't. Furthermore, the consequences of "people pleasing" and "conflict avoidance" can do far more damage than the occasional bad rep. In fact, if you're consistent about setting and enforcing reasonable boundaries, you'll ultimately gain more respect in the long run.

Of course not. You know that, I know that, everyone reading this knows that, you are just being a troll. Stop, or get blocked.

Obligatory I suppose....
