I prefer "Gulf of Trump's an Infantile Imbecile" or "Gulfed only by Trump's Impotence and Ignorance".

My initial attempts at running Linux as a daily threw me off. Had a couple Comp Sci friends in college recommend switching, but they led me to distros with pre-compiled binaries and installation wizards. I'd install, get dumped out at a desktop, then ask "And what do I do now?". I had no idea how the filesystem was organized, etc.

I stumbled across LinuxFromScratch somehow. Took a few months and ran through the installation three times before I felt I had a good handle on what was going on. Then I tried to tackle compiling X.org and all its dependencies, learning exactly why a package manager is useful.

That lead me to Gentoo. I haven't found a problem running it in the last ~20 years that I couldn't solve, so I've stuck with it. Now it's just comfortable. I've slapped other distributions on other boxes (Mint, Kubuntu, etc), and even on laptops for family members, but they don't feel like home.

I've used Gentoo on my main desktop for decades.

Anything else in the house gets Kubuntu on it, 'cause ain't nobody got time for that.

So a >250 gram drone is a credible threat, but a <250 lbs ultralight is not, simply because it's presumed the pilot of the ultralight will die in whatever event occurs. Right...

How do you explain ultralight aircraft not needing to be registered and their operation licensed, per FAR-103?

New York City. Don't give that credit to the Upstaters. We've got enough of our own problems, thankyouverymuch.

My first one: "What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?" Matthew 16:26

Good words, but completely disregarded by the majority of so called Christians these days.

I went through LFS' build process three times. By the third time, I felt like I might actually have a clue as to what's going on. Then I tried build X.org, and discovered what package managers are for. Tried a few "standard" distributions with their binary packages, none of which satisfied my newly discovered control freak tendencies. Ended up settling on Gentoo, been with it ever since.

The meme is definitely LFS.

Happy New Year everyone!

Just a quick note to share some updates: Today, the team rolled out a corrective script to repair many accounts affected by a variant of the "shard locked" issue (commonly seen as error 60030). With this rollout, a large number of accounts have been restored through a repair and cleanup process and should now be able to play.

This, along with a few recently deployed fixes, should help prevent additional accounts from encountering this one too.

We’re also continuing to work on resolving other variants of this issue that are still affecting others, as well as addressing various gameplay-related issues in the 4.0 Preview environment.

The team is back and focused on getting things in good shape as quickly as possible. We appreciate your patience and support, and we'll keep you updated as we have more to share.

Dr. Oz told members of the National Governors' Association (video below) that uninsured Americans "don't have the right to health," but should be given "a way of crawling back out of the abyss of darkness of fear over not having the health they need." That, he suggested, could come via physicals in a "festival-like setting."

Additional context doesn't make him sound much more convincing.

Trump would have to stop fellating Putin to do something about it.
