  • Really as a technical user I’m moreso afraid of how much time and how much work it’ll cost me. And I know a lot of distros are 1 click installs. That doesn’t matter to me. It’s more the transferring files and getting things set up and settling in again. I’m already settled in on my windows 10 computer. Everything is where it needs to be. I changed to Firefox earlier this month and just that was mentally painful. I can’t imagine the whole OS.

    I’m in university too so this would be a day that I could be doing homework etc





  • That 6.7 L engine agrees, spitting and snarling, almost stalling as the automated seven-speed transmission lurches through traffic. I switch the recalcitrant gearbox over to M, hoping the temper tantrum will smooth out higher in the rev range as I purposefully pop through gears using the column-mounted paddle shifters (which also make the Aventador’s turn signal stalks nearly impossible to use). And those turn signals come in handy—as the crowd of Italian drivers inching along all around me might be surprised to learn—since I have absolutely zero visibility to either side, nor out of the louvered rear window.

  • this genuinely made getting an apartment such a total nightmare. Every “group” online for finding apartments in my city is Facebook only. Sure, craigslist works but it’s filled with out-of-date realty company spam. If you want to avoid facebook the easiest way is just word of mouth but that’s difficult for people moving in from out of town. I ended up getting my current place by emailing a guy who I heard about from a friend.
