Vertical distress signal.

A bit reckless giving advice, aren’t we?

We don’t know if OP has personal data in the windows drive, or copies thereof, and yet, you write:

If you plan to switch over all at once, during the install, tell Linux to use the entire drive (ie, do a full format). That will completely remove Windows during the install.

Also:

If you are going to dual boot, don’t dual boot on a single drive. Windows likes to fuck with other things on the same drive as it, including other Windows installs.

Would you please enlighten me about why you shouldn’t dual boot on a single drive? I, and millions of others have been happily doing it for decades. As a matter of fact I’m willing to bet some money that that’s precisely the most common desktop setup in the world for Linux. The major caveat is that sometimes Windows upgrades/updates won’t respect your dual boot setup, which is usually trivial to fix.

This was making me wet, until I checked the price… for a kit!

Granted, it’s open source, but it looks like sourcing the BOM would be quite a bit of work.

The Maslow, which is entirely autonomous, cost less. The downside is the space required. The Compass is the winner in the space required department, but 500$ ?

The article says mint chocolate chip. I’m not 100% sure, but I think it looks more like roadkill rat balls barf ice-cream to me

Media reports and social media posts claimed the group was removed after Jewish students aged 10 to 15 were heard singing songs in Hebrew on the plane.

Who the fuck,except jews, would recognize Hebrew songs? That excuse is so weak its laughable.

EDIT: Let me expand: 1- A Spanish airline is most likely to have mostly Spanish crews. 2- One of the crew members, for some reason, recognizes some song as hebrew/jewish. 3- That crewmember is antisemitic. 4- That crewmember convinces the others to act in an antisemitic way. etc.

Yeah.

I imagine you have searched for data, and have looked up Almería (city) not the province. The city is on the shore. Almeria province is hilly. As soon as you go some few hundred meters up climate becomes way more extreme.

temps are consistently above 95° (35°C) blow Almeria and everywhere in Europe out of the water. Hate to tell you, but in Madrid (and it’s not the hottest) it’s been between 34 and 40ºC since June. Albox, in the province of Almeria for example had a max in 2021 of 45º C.

For most vegetables, passive methods, such as greenhouses, with shade systems and ventilation, these extremes can be reduced.

I also have ADD. Nice combo, no? ;)

You do know that ADHD people also have a very large percentage of substance abusers? Self medication…

In Europe we are paying restocking fees, just not overtly. I have been in the ecommerce business, and know others who have. You just mark up the goods taking into account your returned goods cost.

It’s like physical stores adding a the spread cost of shoplifting into the prices.

When I lived with my ex-wife, I always ordered more or larger, and when at home, Id make more of whatever. Always. First couple of years i simply got annoyed, then I realized I couldn’t fight it, so samity prevailed.

I’m going to imagine Ukraine also sources a shitton of components from Russia. China is simply taking advantage of the situation. It’s not as if they are overtly and officially supporting Russia and denying Ukraine.

80% is not SOME, iT’s almost everybody, FFs sake!

75M Americans voted for a fascist piece of shit in their last election. Would it be weird if I held a grudge against white Christians in Norway because of that fact?

1st. Only some Christian denominations are fanatically pro Trump. 2nd. They are faithful, of many ethnicities. Jews are an ethnoreligious group, and in fact, while most faiths welcome converts, Judaism makes you jump through loops. Jews don’t like to welcome the non ethnically pure. This if you look at the many branches, especially the Yiddish, with their predominance of fair skin, light eyes, blonde or redhead, is very ironic, as the amount of Yiddish women who have jumped beds through history to turn Levantine populations into almost nordic, is staggering, and thus highly hypocritical.

Liebensraum Lebensraum

I don’t speak German. Please excuse my mistake.

Still cost effective

Yes they can. See Almeria, Spain. Similar to Arizona/NM weather, and as dry. Also, the Dutch do it, in climate controlled greenhouses, price competitive.

It can definitely be done.

gay sex is pretty great.

What if I haven’t been turned gay yet by the Kamala DEI conspiracy?

Doesn’t do much for me.

Do you every so often have periods of depression? I was undiagnosed Bipolar until my 50’s. Many Bipolar (over 60%) Self medicate. I’m not doing a diagnosis here, just explaining that what you describe rings a bell. Bipolar can be a bitch to diagnose, and since the heightened well being never worries, and the depression cycles can be very short, it’s often overlooked.

Do you spend impulsively? Take risks; financially sexually, other types?

Just in case this may be helpful.

This post may be of help. Peer support is huge in recovery.

Here are a bunch of the tools that SMART Recovery uses.

Also, peer-support is HUGE for success. As a SMART facilitator I obviously recommend it, but if that is not your cup of tea, try to find a peer support organization that clicks with you.

DISCLAIMER: I’m a SMART Recovery volunteer, a meeting facilitator, among other things. Any info here will inevitably be colored by this.

I’m also BP, + ADD. Can 100% relate. Hypomania will not help. In my case, and in an astounding percentage of mental disorders, substance use disorders are used as seIf-medication.

If you futz-up, Naltrexone will not work. It works by blocking some receptors, and rewiring your brain, by removing the pleasure of drinking. If you drink without blocking, the brain gets confused while relearning. Read my comment above.

Abstinence + Behavioral retraining + peer support is what is durable for me.
