How do we get everyone angry.

This is the problem


taking away my coffee makes me angry, but I'll be too tired to do anything about it.

Add to that photo editing (as much as GIMP is great...). I would guess DAW and video editing would fall under that category, too...and good luck finding many AAA open source games.

Anyway, how's your sex life?

While "the system" is absolutely at fault for this, lifestyle creep


and changing finances


is very real.

For example, if you can almost afford a house, and your rental is modest, you're probably not spending all of your take-home. But if you make just a little bit more it might make financial sense to buy a house, stretching your budget to the max. Short term this really hurts, but long term may end up being a savvy decision.

Opting for a hefty mortgage can be risky, but can also pay off in the long run


especially in a place like California where property taxes are basically fixed at time of purchase.

Come see the vise grips inherent in the system! Help! Help! I'm being drill pressed!

You can roll your own saline nasal rinse, but it takes a little care to get the salinity just right. And best to boil the water first in case of brain eating amoebas (seriously


not common, but very, very bad).

I'm holding out for Aperture Science, if for no other reason than that their AI has a dry, dark sense of humor.

I think it's a good question. My take, and I dunno if it's right, is that they fucked up with Roe vs. Wade, and they know it


they were the dog that caught the car, so to speak. But once you catch the car, what do you do with it? It's no longer something you can use to activate your base. They pivoted the messaging from "abortion bad" to "states rights," but I think that's less of a hot button issue.

So I'm really hoping it's the same with the ACA


they want to talk about how Dems are socialists and socialism is bad, but they don't necessarily want to "catch the car" here. I do think that any changes will be explicitly about "Obamacare" and any replacement (even if it's exactly the same) will be pushed as "Trumpcare."

I'm probably way off though, and I wouldn't be surprised in the least if they indeed repeal the ACA. And as much as I feel like a horrible person saying it, I have pretty much zero sympathy for those about to get their face eaten by the leopards


I voted D, and I'm not reliant on the ACA, so basically sorry, but go fuck yourself (not you personally, just the regretful Trump voters


I am deeply sympathetic to others affected by this).

IIRC Torvalds uses Fedora.

(Debian for me.)

Same, an R4 with an i5 4670k I built in grad school. It's my ham radio computer now, as happy running Debian as the day I built it.
