I used to drive truck, and I was surprised to learn Indiana was the fucking worst! You'd assume it was some relatively unremarkable Midwestern state. But nooooo. It has all the racism, laziness, and cruelty of the south at it's worst, with none of the charm. I've never been to a place with lazier, mean spirited people before or since. Fuck Indiana.
I use mint on my PC and love it! However I'm now the ipad kid of Linux. It never breaks, I never have to learn anything. Just getting it up and running is the zenith of my knowledge and ability.
There were Romans (basically Greek cosplayers), some dude with elephants who may or may not have been a cannibal. Then some dude got nailed to some lumber for trying to tell people to chill and love eachother. A few thousand years of fighting about that. Columbo sailed to India but found Aztecs instead. The cubs finally won... And that about brings us up to date.
Oh! And also blizzards are gonna start soon in some of the higher mountain passes. So if you're going that way some winter kit so you don't freeze to death in case of emergency!
Former long range trucker here. You can knock that drive out in three days if you go for it. This advice mostly applies to N. America.
Trip plan trip plan trip plan. Where are you getting gas, food, and lodging? Spending 15min per meal to figure out where you're going and what you're having adds up quick. Picking gas stations at random can backfire, some are quite aways off the freeway and can suck 30mins out of your day. All these little, seemingly minor delays add up quickly. Could easily add hours to your total drive time if you're not careful.
Rest areas are your friends. Easy off, easy on. Picnicking areas, usually cleaner restrooms than gas stations. You can sleep in your car there too.
Entertainment wise I was always partial to audiobooks. Obviously I couldn't play steam deck while driving, but audiobooks allow you to take in the scenery as well. May I recommend Dungeon Crawler Carl, Murderbot, and the Bunny Mcgarry series?
Be safe! If you get the feeling you're too tired to drive you probably are, pull over. Good luck and have fun!
I attempt to shatter my ceramic coffee mug and fashion a makeshift shank. I biff it, hit an artery, bleed out. I declare victory from beyond the veil on the grounds I prevented them from killing me
Focus on making a good friend group (I know almost as hard as dating). You'll meet friends of friends, which is where all the good dating prospects be in my experience. Friends first, the rest will come.
I have actually used a knife to open cans for months on end. I couldn't be bothered to buy a new can opener.
It was a cheap kitchen knife, it pretty much ruined it after a few months, (although I'm sure someone with patience and a whet stone could have brought it back to life.) it's totally doable and far easier than you might think. Kinda messy tho.
