6 hours a day just staring at a screen doing nothing? Sounds like you have other issues. Get a better hobby.

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

It’s probably more due to the “raphides”, microscopic calcium crystal needles that get embedded in your tissues.

I’m not very informed on this issue, but is there any good reason a company should lose their ownership of IP just because enough time has passed? Not trying to defend Disney, just wondering.

Benedict Cumberbatch can do a lot of things well, but an American accent is not one of them.

With Li-Po batteries it’s best to keep them between 20-80% for minimal wear, and don’t let them get too hot or cold.

Personally I think very little about battery care with the SD because unlike a phone, it’s relatively easy to replace.

Mass Effect Andromeda. I’d never played any of the previous ones so went in with fresh eyes. Enjoyed the combat and world design. And the ship you live on is incredible. I was sad to see it being dragged so much.

Later on I got around to playing the earlier games and enjoyed them too. I can see why people didn’t like a lot of the changes but I got my money’s worth.
