I moved my home to its own partition a while ago and recently changed my os. It worked well, just had to modify fstab to remap my home drive in the new OS. Not sure if this is what you’re after but I accomplished it al on my main drive by modifying partitions.

That is glorious with the sound on.

Looks like my childhood. Loved this cake!

All any of us can do, really. Awareness and perspective are often hard to come by, so congrats on that!

I feel for you. We have always had a lot of pets (4 cats, 2 dogs atm) and dealing with their end of life stage is heartbreaking every time. Just grieve your loss however you need to.

We always take comfort in knowing how much our departed friends brought to our lives, and, particularly for our rescues, how much love and care we were able to give them. Our relationships with them are a gift.

Take good care and trust that you will know if and when the time is right for another one in your life.

I would clamp a scrap piece underneath your work piece and then drill. Should take care of the tear out better than tape.

The other way to go would be to use a lipped brad point bit or a forstner bit depending on the size of your holes. Those bits have a cutting edge around the circumference of the hole to prevent chatter when starting to drill and to produce a cleaner pass. A good set of brad points will cost you $100 or so but are a great investment imo.

Interesting read that helps with some context on current usage. It seems like everyone who wants to disparage their enemy applies the term now, but the historical meaning was mostly ‘Nazis, and those like them.’ Certainly contempt for democracy and the appetite to use violence to assert control appear to be common characteristics.

Like others here, I dumped Reddit and moved here (and to Mastodon) full time. I also moved to Linux full time on my home laptop and haven’t missed Windows one little bit. I’m looking forward to experimenting more with a couple of other distros of interest (currently Pop_OS) and am having actual fun using my computer again. Heavy emphasis on adopting as many FOSS alternatives as possible in ‘24, and starting to separate myself from the big G.

Sounds like a great experience! Congrats.

I switched from full-time windows to full-time Linux with Pop_OS and haven’t looked back. I’m very happy with it and enjoy finding FOSS alternatives to my former go-to apps. So far so good. I’m also keeping an eye on Vanilla OS as that sounds like a very cool project that is headed to beta by summer.

The Girl With All the Gifts was pretty good, based on the book of the same name.

For comedy, one of my faves is Stranger Than Fiction.

Fwiw, this is the kind of thread I used to love The Other Site for. Glad to find one here!
