  • 2001-2005. My computer lab in the school of math and natural sciences (including computer science), had windows 2000 (best windows of all time), Apple Power PCs, and all dual booted linux. All we used for comp sci was linux. Yellowdog on the Power PCs. Learned to program/develop in C++ and Java, mostly used e-macs, goal was to never lift hands from the keyboard or use the mouse, keeps you in the zone. Used Gnome as the desk top environment back then.

    So pretty good :)

    Today I use linux mint with cinamon for day to day computing, been using it for about 10 years now without issue.

    I went back to college for a professional program, and used linux mint in 2022, it worked out just fine. As far as office software, I used word 365 online through the university web portal.

    I think word sucks a lot and 2003 and 2007 are the best versions and little improvement since then (improvement is efficiency and easy of creating an end-product), but I’m not willing to re-learn how to master Libre Office, I just can’t be bothered. So no input on that.





  • I have experience with alcoholics in the family and haven’t drank more than a handful of drinks in the last 5 years, because I don’t want to go down that road, but the things you need to ask yourself are: Are you prepared to have her never changed and eventually drink herself to death? Are you prepared for her behavior to get even worse over the years towards you and herself? Are you prepared for the drinking associated health complications, she won’t be able to function as an adult for her last 5-10 years. Are you prepared to deal with potential DUIs, job losses, and other alcohol related complications? Are you prepared to give up your life to deal with her situation?

    If the answer is no, you need to think about your future with her. You can’t help her through this one.



  • BJs is a club, it’s in terms of the membership. Same with SAMs, and Costco.

    On the other hand, other stores can’t detain you, it’s not covered under “shop keepers privilege”. Watch you-tube on shop keepers privilege if you want to learn the laws around that. Also be careful, stores can and will legally evict you (some stores are petty as fuck like that) and then if you go there, you’re trespassing and can be arrested. It’s generally legal to deny a member of the public access to your store for any reason, as long as it’s not a prohibited reason under federal discrimination laws.
