It’s important that he disabuses himself of the notion that he’s really good at this if he tried. The trying is the part that’s the challenge. They make the ability to understand part relatively easy. That’s the whole point of college.

The tip is to change his perspective and stop thinking that he’s above it. It may not be the only tip, but it’s a big one.

The world is filled with people who used to be brilliant slackers when they were young who did nothing with it.

Anyone can theoretically sit down and study for the equivalent of a university degree. Most people don’t have the motivation or discipline for that.

Half the point of the degree is that it pushes you to get it done. (The other half is verification that you did it.)

If you still can’t do it, then it isn’t so easy after all, is it? The main challenge isn’t how big your brain is. It’s actually putting in the work.

If you can’t find enough self-discipline to get through it, you’re going to regret it later.

He notably didn’t say they needed to do better for the American people or that they needed to have better policies.

He said they needed to do better to earn our trust. They don’t want to change what they’re doing; they just want to make us agree with it.

Vance over performed slightly. I’d say Walz underperformed slightly. Walz was too nice.

In the end, I think Walz wins by a fair margin. Plus Walz got the biggest two soundbites that will be played for the next week ad nauseum.

Vance had absolute shit to work with. Walz could have given the Independence Day speech.

I actually appreciate the part where Walz went off script and responded directly to Vance and the question asked. It was about Congress making the laws, and not the Vice President. They’ll likely use that to attack Walz and Harris, but I appreciated him dropping a bit of the show and just conveying reality.

The changes they were talking about require a vote from Congress. Vance dismissing that and saying it can be done through executive action should be concerning. Technically, it might be true, considering the President can just start shooting/jailing congresspeople until they vote his way. But I don’t think that’s what they wanted to express.

Its Ubuntu 24.04. When I started it, it took quite awhile and then said “there as a problem, please log out”.

Now that I’ve got it started (where I’m posting from now), it still refuses to arrange my monitors. And I have no idea what this 5th, 13.3" monitor is supposed to be.

It looks like my issues are related to this hardware. I guess that’s understandable. I thought this hardware would be transparent to the OS, and apparently it’s not.

If I hit apply here, it will fail and put them back in a line. I’ll also get around 4 fps and no cursor on the additional monitors.

I installed a fresh copy of, I believe, Debian. Wayland, for some reason, couldn’t handle 4 monitors, with one above the other three.

Not the issue I expected on a fresh install. Oh, and the biggest issue I had with Windows was copied straight into Linux. I want my (single) taskbar on a monitor that isn’t my primary.

I’m currently back to Windows. It was already going to be a rough transition, and missing the ideas I was looking for while also adding complications just hasn’t made it worth it.

Vasectomy is probably free anyway.

You can get a RaspPi instead, and after a year or two you’ll have saved enough electricity to have paid for itself.

At least this advice should always be paired with classes at a shooting range.

Be clear that it’s not the pictures that are the problem. It’s the threat.

Lichess. It’s also completely free.

You need to take advantage of code switching, similar to how you’ll use curse words in some contexts, but not in others. Or retail language vs casual.

They should have some intuitive idea of when to speak Portuguese and when to speak English. If you’re mixing within the same context, that will be difficult.

I get what you mean, but nearly everyone is allergic to mosquito bites. That’s why they itch.

Which isn’t a bad idea, but I’d still want some kind of parental controls like Android has to limit screen time. I don’t need Netflix.com to be all or nothing, but I certainly don’t want it to be four hours a day either.
