I bought SUSE Linux once upon a time. It was a physical CD and the packaging that I paid for. Maybe a little support was bundled, probably not. That was a time when the internet was slow for most and not an option for others, wifi wasn't ubiquitous (and if it existed, good luck getting the proper drivers loaded without internet), live distributions weren't really a thing yet, booting from usb was finicky and unreliable, and the install CDs would have the entire OS and basically all the software you could want to install bundled. These would have been the days before the fall of Napster and the rise in other "Linux ISO sharing tools". Ubuntu would even mail you like a half dozen physical CDs and some stickers just for asking and promising to share them in your community.

There's nothing wrong with buying the physical things or paying for support. That's not what this meme is showing though.

Bunny ears or a variant thereof is usually more stable anyway. I taught myself a new better way to tie my shoes at 30 something. Now I no longer need to double knot themand they always come undone easily by pulling the ends. Previously, knotting them the way my parents taught, my knots always came undone and the loops didn't lay flat on either side (getting skewed to up and down my foot/leg).

normal shirt buttons, which come off fairly regularly.

Maybe your technique isn't sufficient and the posted method isn't as "over the top" as you claim, but fundamental to not loosing buttons.

You've got the critical thinking skills and empathy of a cop. How do the boots taste?

I hope videos like this will inspire future creative efforts like more Klingon opera on stage and screen.

Drugs alter your perception, not awareness. Mediation and a philosophy class you didn't take on YouTube will cure you of that confusion.

No no no. In this case it was a crime against the memory of that pig.

The line between perfect bacon and overcooked perhaps slightly burnt is a number of seconds.

This is the biggest reason I bake bacon. I can bake nearly a pound of bacon in the time it takes to make the rest of breakfast and seconds don't make the difference between perfect and burnt. You can dial that shit in to the perfect level of crispiness.

Bacon spread out on a cooling rack set inside a sheet pan in a cold oven. Set to bake at 200°C or 400°F. After 20 minutes, check on it every 5 minutes until done to your liking. Thicker bacon takes longer obviously. Drain the grease and save for later cooking use.

Go to a library. Ask a librarian. They may not be able to give some magic bullet answer (a fantasy anyway), but they can point you in the right direction to answer these kinds of questions for yourself.

But I suggest you narrow your focus. You might want to start out looking for topics a little less broad and vague as "time" and "joy". That would be like trying to research 20th century music that incorporated drums or guitars.
