Short and missing the end?

Rofl... I'm a patient person and even I don't have the patience for that

Edit: I take it back, as @schmidtgenetics suggested, I tried it in my current book, that was annoyingly closing itself all the time, at around 10 pages a go, and it does work really really well, and only toook 1 or 2 minutes.

So, thanks for the tip, I'll be doing this going forward!

Whatever you decide. If other peoples behaviour is making you question living (e.g. corrupt politicians) I'd recommend stopping having other people's behaviour be part of your reason to live.

Find your own reason, anything, collecting every stamp ever printed in 1954, whatever! We all die in the end, the important thing is to figure out what you like doing while you're here and then do that for as long as you're enjoying it.

I mean, the reason can be bringing about political change if you want, just bring that inside you and your control and act on it, the reason should not involve other people (although it can if they consent, e.g. my wife and I currently have the project of raising our son and buying a house, and that's our mutual project at the moment).

I could be wrong, but I think OP wants to connect from his terminal to avoid suspicion

I grew up playing a mud called discworldmud, it's an entire multiplayer world that's still really active and entirely text based and entirely free. You should check that out. Plus Tintin++ to connect from your terminal ;)

Though I read that study was skewed by the average age of people that can afford to live near a golf course. They didn't compare like for like in terms of health (as I recall anyway, open to correction!)

Hey!

I want to encourage economic activity within Europe and also ethically align with recycled materials etc.

I'm trying to buy myself a hydration pack for running long distance with, and it's hard to convince myself of anything better than osprey:

  • I'm familiar with the company and they have high standards
  • they have a great guarantee to repair products
  • they use recycled materials
  • the product "Duro 6" fits every requirement that I have

Before I go ahead and buy that, can anyone suggest an equal or better product produced in Europe.

Edit: I ended up with Salomon and it's great!

 

Hey everyone,

I have a gaming laptop with fedora installed and in general have no problems with it. However I would like to play some games on it from Steam.

So I installed the Nvidia drivers and when the laptop is not using an external monitor it's great, the games performance are 10/10.

However I most often use my laptop plugged into an ultrawide monitor and when I do that with the Nvidia driver active all sorts of strangle artifacts show up on the screen and the edges go blue and shudder, this slowly gets worse over the course of about 15 minutes until I cannot use the laptop at all and need to reboot.

Using the built in drivers the ultrawide monitor is completely fine, but games run very poorly.

Does any one have any experience with this, and any idea if there's something I can do to correct it?
