I just set up a new computer that was deemed unworthy of Windows 11 on Linux Mint. I don’t believe I opened the terminal at all, except to do ssh-keygen stuff for my server, which I would assume you skip on grandma’s computer.

The wifi, wireless printer, etc all just worked.

When people are over my house I usually offer them an “adult beverage” but now I’m totally replacing that with “ethanol”

I have done that in a pinch but disliked how it made my hair feel. For me, shampoo bars are a good compromise because the feel/smell nice but one bar lasts me like, a year.

I have tried a lot of things including pre-boiling, ice-baths, baking soda, and air-frying. In the end it just made me appreciate how good and easy restaurant fries are even more.

Yeah, my 1st car died a rust death due to its winters in Syracuse (basically a Canadian climate). I’m 40 y/o and my 2nd car is still going strong (much to my wife’s dismay)
