  • Finally did it, got my parent on linux.

  • Did the same thing. Got them using FOSS apps on Windows (Firefox, LibreOffice, Thunderbird), then switched them and made Linux look like Windows. They never cared, kept on using it like nothing changed.

  • What's a life lesson you learned the hard way that you'd want to share with others to help them avoid the same mistake?

  • Do not allow humans to pick your stocks. I recommend ETF index funds as opposed to Mutual funds. Mutual funds, or any fund that is controlled by humans, could morph into something else, i.e., whatever gets them the highest return. In an extreme example, you could buy a Green mutual fund only to find out later that it shifted a lot of its investments to fossil fuel companies. Index Funds pick a sector and follow it brainlessly. No broker or manager f#ckery.

  • Why are weather apps so bad at telling you the current weather?

  • MyRadar is scary good, in my experience.

  • Is the StumbleUpon thing not something Mozilla could do with Pocket?

  • Do people actually get upset if you forget their name?

    Jump

  • I had a brain fart when talking to a new coworker and couldn’t remember her name. She was very attractive, and this had clearly never happened to her before. She became very agitated and upset about it. (She wasn’t a b*tch or anything, just unaware of the benefits she got from being pretty.)

    I was always nice and respectful to her, but for the rest of our time working together, I continued forgetting her name and it drove her nuts.

    Jump

  • Buy an old, used EV (and replace the battery)?

  • What is your favorite alcoholic cocktail?

    Jump

  • Monte Carlo

    1.5oz Bourbon, 0.5 Benedictine, 2 dashes Angostura

  • I find the """man up""" school of thought generally works for me when faced w a tough situation but 97% of the time it's presented as an obnoxious show of bravado. What are better ways to phrase this?

    Jump

  • I worked with a stunt coordinator once who told one of his guys that he was going to drop him, lying parallel to the ground, from the ceiling. He wouldn’t be able to brace his fall (as he was supposed to be dead), so he told his guy he’d just have to “cowboy up.” Not sure that’s a better phrase, but it’s got more color.

  • Anyone had good results with hair growth products/methods?

    Jump

  • I’ve been on both Finasteride (prevents hair loss) and Minoxidil (grows hair) for decades, without noticeable ill effects. Very effective combo. 👍

    [For Men] What shower gel/Deodorant do you use?

    Jump

  • I was a long time user of Old Spice Original, but all the plastic waste got to me. After trying MANY natural brands, I found “No Pong”, the stupidest-named, most over-priced product that works great. I use it now.

  • I learned about startpage recently.

    Jump

  • I scatter my data across ALL the search engines. Run multiple browsers (four different Firefox instances alone, including mobile), and use a different search engine in each. Also uBlockOrigin. The online data they all have on me is…incomplete.

  • What is a nutritious, filling, and easy to eat breakfast for really early in the morning?

    Jump

  • Diet Coke.

  • What is the Alabama of your country?

    Jump

  • Florida’s Sunshine Laws just make their trash public. I shudder to think what happens in Alabama without our knowledge. 😬😬😬

  • Why do you use firefox?

    Jump

  • It’s a huge improvement over Mosaic.
