Garbage is not all that’s available here, there are plenty of healthy choices everywhere. You just have to stay away from the fast food peddlers, which includes “fine dining” chain restaurants.

That’s a tooth extraction, a root canal is where they drill down through the tooth and root to get at and eliminate the infection, saving the tooth. It’s not a one session job, they drill down then inject antibiotics to kill the infection, then place a temporary filling in the hole. This is to make sure the infection is gone before placing the permanent filling. I had one a few years ago that took several sessions to get rid of the infection. With a good dentist, it’s not painful. Hell, my wisdom teeth extraction was way more painful.

My how our education system has utterly failed the last two or three generations. Personal finances used to be taught in High School economics, including how to track spending. With the tap, swipe and scan payments we have these days, few people even keep a record of their spending other than perhaps the account balance. I use a checkbook program and spreadsheet together to keep track of where my money goes, and reconcile it with my bank statement every month to be sure everything adds up. This does mean I have to get paper receipts when I can’t get a digital one, but living your life means you can’t just float around through life expecting the apps and electronics to keep you on track, you have to do some work.

Yes. I’m genuinely unsure how it could be any easier. It’s just add the repo and install.

It can be much easier to install a PPA than using the command line to do so. I think it’s high time it was as easy as clicking on a (verified) “install this repo” type button on a page, and confirming, entering your sudo password from the launchpad website. I’d even be OK with building it into Discover.

They have the .deb at the top of their download page, no need to install the PPA repository if you don’t want. You can’t get any more than “just downloading and double clicking an exe deb” than that on Ubuntu.

I will admit though, I wish there were an easier way to install PPAs.

You can’t simply go with the manufacturing emissions, you have to look at the entire life cycle of the vehicles in question.

You realize your computer won’t work without scripts, don’t you? And if you want your computer to do something it doesn’t do on its own, a simple script will make it do what you want. If that is your definition of sucking, then you need to go back to Windows, which is also loaded with scripts, by the way, so that sucks too.

I’m marinating a salmon steak in an Asian sauce mixture, and roasting that. I’ll make some fried rice and steam some broccoli, and pour the remaining sauce from the salmon over the broccoli. This is something I meant to do last night but didn’t get around to it, so it’s my christmas eave dinner tonight.

I think AppImages suck as well, but this is not a reason for my dislike. A simple script that you can run on startup will fix that problem.

I thought pandas only ate a certain type of bamboo leaves.

Maybe take it up with his boss? I really can’t see the restaurant caring one way or another, as long as the shift is covered by someone qualified to do the job.

I moved to Reddit when Digg destroyed itself. It wasn’t too hard to make the switch, although it did take a bit of getting used to. I imagine it’ll be the same this time, or maybe a bit easier, as the format of lemmy.ml is not too different in appearance from Reddit.
