    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.





  • 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.






  • 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.

    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.
