Ran Linux as a daily driver, many versions, on and off, for 20-years. Over all, it’s a pain in the ass. Built several “little old lady” laptops for charity customers. Linux works a charm if all you need is FaceBook and email!

It amazes me that lemmy evangelizes Linux, then posts 100 comments about how this, that and the other Linux OS sucks, has security issues, how theirs is superior, and “why doesn’t my $peripheral work?” And the answers are always the same, "You just have to $directions.* I don’t need $directions for my shit to work on Windows.

Want to see how to collect angry downvotes? Visit a post talking about how Microsoft is doing some evil new thing or how they’ve broken a feature. Merely comment this:

“I don’t have that issue. Never seen it.”

No rebuttals, no nothing, just “fuck you for saying so”. Angry new atheists.

^ See what I mean? No one could possibly have issues with Firefox! You’re doing it wrong!

Active Directory is a monster. Got downvoted to hell the other day for saying there is nothing out there that comes close for managing a fleet of machines. Most of the idiot arguments revolved around thinking AD is fancy LDAP.

“Linux and Mac can do authentication!”

If one’s view of AD is that limited, we’re not having the same conversation. Cross connect AD with Powershell and Hyper-V, you have a robust ecosystem for enterprise. And there are zero issues with running headless Linux servers on Hyper-V.

I have an AR-15 and armor piercing green-tips. Weird enough, I only have the green tips because they were the cheapest option at the time. At 100’ they drill press a perfect hole in 1/4" steel.

He was sizing you up! We’ve recently figured out that their pin-head brains can pattern match well enough to recognize human faces. He was getting a lock on you and filing your face away in his threat matrices. :)

Tested this myself! Wasps were building a nest directly above my front dog. Pig went out the dog door, I out the regular door, many times a day. Made a point of not staring or reacting if they flew close. Zero issue for either of us. Only time they got riled up when when I got my face close and stared for a few seconds.

CAVEAT: This does NOT apply to hornets, particularly the ones that boil out of the ground. Run for the fucking hills.

And there you go, proving the point! 😂

Seems to be mostly a mammal thing. OTOH, I’ve seen videos of dumb-as-fuck chickens raising kittens and completely different bird species.

Well. Damn. I’ve got two of those packs in my curio cabinet, thought they were modern remakes. Nope. They clearly say “candy”, “cigarette” isn’t on the package and there are no red tips.

Think how hilariously awful it was that we kids used to “smoke” those things! Fuck it, eating one of my packs now.

Then you’ve got American consulate employees in Cuba coming down with inexplicable brain problems.

They’re gonna fuck local cats, make hybrids until they’re regular house cats again. Not seeing the point?

Jeep guy also has rubber ducks glued to his dash. Dozens of them. For reasons?

One of their economic ministers wrote in a state journal that shit was bad. Imagine that. Official news, not a leak.

^ BINGO! They were shuffling paper before, now hard currency is leaving the country, a country historically starved of hard currency.

I could make that exact comment on every single post in here.

“I’m SPECIAL! I’m NEURODIVERGENT!”

Home wrecker!

OP’s making a guess, presenting an example of something weird we hadn’t considered. Fair play. Y’all are far too literal in your reading skills.

What he’s saying makes sense, just don’t take it 100% literally. See my reply to him. I get where he’s coming from.

More digestible way of saying what you’re saying:

We’ve learned much. The way we treat pregnant woman has changed. We’re much more conservative as to what we prescribe or condone.

Maybe some odd factor we haven’t thought of changed? What if that factor/behavior changed the infant’s immune system? What if we quit doing that thing and the issue has self-corrected, but we haven’t put 2 and 2 together?

Yes, our biology is the most complex thing I know of. We just have to keep moving forward with what we know. Sorry everyone is treating you like an antivaxxer.

being less exposed to dirt and being subjected to over-cleanliness

I’ve read talk of this over the years. Anything definitive ever come out? Makes all the sense in thw world to me.

My first thought was I’d instantly overload on the round chips, wouldn’t be special any more.
