  • Everyone has their specific method, personally I tap the top and bottom on the counter, then roll it on the counter with a little bit of pressure. For me, this let’s the shell get all cracked up but still stick to the membrane and peels off super easily… It worked well enough that my wife asked me why I never mention it for the first decade of our marriage, I thought everyone knew and just did it their own way.


  • What distro are you guys using to get errors like that? I’ve been a Debian guy as long as I can remember and was so happy when I gave up using Windows for games. Windows doesn’t seem to scale worth a shit, I have two twenty-seven inch monitors and one twenty-four inch monitor flipped portrait (it feels wrong but is so great for documentation); when I move a window halfway between two different size monitors the window is all fucked up, on Debian it is the same physical size across the displays and doesn’t look like someone is trying to zoom in on half of it.

    All that being said, my son’s computer is close (he runs Arch… btw), but not perfect… I don’t know if that’s an Arch thing or he just doesn’t care about it as much as I do.


  • Growing up in the late 80s we had lots of crazy pets, I was about 5 or 6 when we adopted a timber wolf (Eastern Wolf) and I named it Babe. I remember it was a baby when we got it (I think it was rescued after a wildfire) and about two years later we had to reintroduce it to the wild. It wasn’t because it tried to hurt us or anything but it was starting to do things like stopping our oldest dog from eating and I think there were complaints from our neighbors (we lived in Gulfport Florida so that stuff happened a lot but could have played into it).

    I think back every now and then and remember his coat, it was so thick and soft while still feeling kinda stiff, he slept in the bed with me and we were pretty much inseparable.



  • Firmly Gen Y here and I use it all the damn time, but I blame that on computers not showing up until I was an awkward teen in high school and needed a neutral way to respond where people wouldn’t think I was AFK. We didn’t have ways to react to messages so lol and every varient (up to and including the roflcopter, lol) became our way to fill the silence. We were a generation that developed a way to communicate that you found annoying… just like every other generation, GenX gave us “Whatever” as the exclamation of frustrated, GenZ gave us stuff like “drip” for great fashion taste… GenY had a 9 key layout to type as we entered the workforce so we tried to keep it short.
