Excellent list, I hope OP see’s it!
Also, I should have added a caveat to that last bullet: learn how to make friends without becoming an alcoholic. Meetup.com is usually the answer for finding readily available like minded people interested in the same physical activity as you, but meeting a whole bunch of new people at once can be overwhelming.
Good luck man!
As someone that left the US a decade and a half ago, here’s some things to go ahead and start getting answers to so you don’t have to figure it out when the time comes:
Yeah, walking away from every person you’ve ever known and every support system you’ve ever had in hopes of a better future with no real promises to fall back on if it doesn’t work out isn’t courageous at all.
That’s the real “difference” in the Linux camps right?
Ubuntu N00bs - “what’s a terminal?” vs. Arch, Gentoo, Nix, etc users who despite whatever camp you’re in you know you can tell them “you need to enable the systemd service” or "add option blah to /etc/program.conf and they know what they means without further explanation.
You can do that with Mint too - LMDE
yay -Syu, and around that time KDE had switched from plasma 5 to plasma 6, which involved moving a lot of packages into the extra repository, so you had to sit there and confirm each package move (unless you used --noconfirm).
Nothing more shameful than someone walking and going “oh… okay… Not bad. To be honest, I expected worse”. Like, bitch what the fuck you mean “not bad”? That’s the cleanest that kitchen counter top has been in 6 months!
I had them.
On Saturdays.
Well whatever it is, he’d probably prefer to just keep it in the family.
when you know a little German it’s much less confusing than it seems
speaking German is easy. Just know German!
40% (900W microwave) at 4m30s is my default go-to for pretty much everything.
Except reheating my frozen lasagna. That’s 20% for 22minutes
Visually, I was impressed. As far as seeing the universe brought to life, it was good. As far as watching a movie goes though, it was kinda bad - the pacing was off, elements weren’t explained to the viewer, etc. I’d have a hard time recommending it to a person that doesn’t know anything about Warcraft and is looking for a good movie to watch.
I hate Lord of the Rings. Well, I don’t hate it. I just don’t understand why people love it so much (not “why everyone loves it”, but “when one person loves it they love it more than anything else”). I don’t consider the story all that enjoyable, especially for the movies. I definitely don’t consider it rewatchable.
Like, I’m the target demographic. I was 16 when the first one came out. I played DnD and Magic the Gathering. Warcraft 2 was one of my favorite games. Mages and Orcs are something I’ve always had in my life since as long as I can remember. My parents read the Hobbit to me and I had read fellowship and two towers at some point around 11 or 12. But the movies? They just don’t connect with me. And I’ve never had anyone be able to put into words what it is that makes it click for them.
I have an old desktop downclocked that pulls ~100W that I’m using as a file server, but I’m working on moving most of my services over to an Intel NUC that pulls ~15W. Nothing wrong with being power efficient.
If you have a laptop/something that runs off a battery, upower
Surely an egg timer can time more than just eggs?
it can do other things besides cook rice too
So, not a one kind specific kitchen tool…
In southern Europe, almost everywhere has an espresso machine. Only fancy hipster coffee shops have filter coffee. They’re not prudes, they just dont see the point in having to have a completely separate machine for coffee that only gets used once a week just to accommodate a bunch of annoying ass tourists.
