AV Linux probably has the best out-of-box audio production experience: http://www.bandshed.net/avlinux/ The maintainer, Glen MacArthur, is very active on the Linux Musicians forum and always willing to answer questions

Thanks. My problem with Monopoly is that I always feel like about 10 or 15 minutes into the game it is clear who the winner will be, and then the next two hours are a slow grind in which everybody else slowly becomes dust.

That's incredible. Somebody actually found a genuinely enjoyable use of a monopoly board.

I'm going to try getting my kids to make some simple games with godot this summer, and learn GDScript along with them.

Any time I imagine that some past decade must have been simpler times, I think about it a little bit more and realize that it was the height of the cold war, or people were suffering from some disease that now has proper treatment, or it to

The whole point of the earlier comments is that it is preferable to use a package manager instead of using a browser to download binaries.

It's also used in Hotel California. Maybe it doesn't show up much in pop/rock/country, but it's not uncommon in jazz.

Well, the framework hardware is much more likely to be used by somebody who can buy it secondhand, unlike a lot of laptops that are intentionally designed to be a pain to reuse/repair.

I ordered a chest freezer months ago and it still hasn't been delivered. Every time I follow up, the retailer keeps blaming supply chain.

Contrary to belief, Washington and Oregon aren't just cloudy skies. The eastern half of both states is a rain shadow with a desert climate and plenty of sunshine.

> The average person is more or less an idiot No insult taken. Upon observing this same phenomenon, I am forced to conclude that I must also be more or less an idiot.

We didn't get into that specifically, but the part that struck me as hopeful is that the most dangerous fallout also inherently has the shortest half-lives. Of course you wouldn't be able to completely avoid exposure, but with sma

My dad spent his career processing nuclear waste as chemical engineer. I called him over the weekend to ask about the prospects of surviving a nuclear strike. We had a good long chat about it, but the summary is that if you can avoid direct

Yes, that's a good point. The document does specifically talk about avoiding contact with fallout, or removing it if necessary. Hopefully everybody gets inside before it drops.

If I were sheltering from a nuclear strike with a bunch of strangers, I think I would do the opposite - encourage everybody to come in close and share lots of hugs. Human beings need contact, especially while experiencing trauma.

> Streets of SimCity Maybe that's why you had a Voodoo card? My brothers and I loved Streets of SimCity. That you could load your game from SimCity 2000 and drive around in it was genius. We had so much fun with that game. The ridic

Hear hear! My quality of life tends to be inversely correlated with how hard I'm trying to put on the act of being a normal person.

You say that like it is a bad thing... Mostly kidding, I grew up living at a rural property that had mint all over the place. I loved it, but I do understand how much trouble invasive plants can cause.

Isn't this the joke? Almost nobody knows what extropian means, but when you're arguing with a blowhard they won't want to admit it and look stupid in front of other people.

That's fine, it can be fixed in the next sprint.

Ha! Michael Walthius was one of my primary inspirations when I was trying to make my own midi arrangements. I was just a kid trying to self-teach music theory and composition.

Agreed. When people talk about the scariest horror films, I always think that nothing comes remotely close to Threads. It left me feeling quite disturbed for a full week.

People born a hundred years ago suffered through the great depression and then got thrown into the meat grinder that we call World War II. Certainly those two events produced tough spirits, but I wouldn't wish that on anybody.
