Things in this vein were exactly what i was looking for wwhen i made the post. thanks. Freed up almost a gig.

i’m also using a chromebook with 16 gb emmc storage. my installs keep being about 10 gigs with xfce. i was thinking i would end up with just about your numbers but there is almost 5 gigs of other stuff i ended up with from the live disk installer.

I am using xfce atm. I might just have to fix my driver problems and do a netinstall

That’s a good idea. I can probably scrounge one up

i have broken the install a few times just deleting stuff. The live disk won’t find my wifi card so i can’t net install unless I buy an ethernet adapter.

I’ve never tried it but i don’t see why not. Let us know what ends up working for you. Your English reads well to me.

I read through your post a few times and it seems like you want the option to use your Persistent storage or just use the stick as a default install live boot medium.

If so, have you thought about using any of the live usbs with persistence and just make multiple users. One where persistence is used and encrypted and one that does not have access to the Persistent partition?

I usually use debian with x on old laptops but I’ve heard good things about gallium being pretty light

Very cool. Kind of like how Pandora used to be when it first started.

Here’s the first one I found by searching. There were several more. And the recall in the news right now is for frozen waffles, which contain no meat. I never said cut fruit was dangerous. I said it is more likely to be contaminated than uncut fruit.

That’s what I was saying. Every interaction increases the risk of contamination. Cut fruit is vulnerable to dirty machines which is a big factor in listeria contamination.

Anything not processed. This includes cut fruit and mixed greens.

I used it on a relatives computer recently. On streaming sports sites it got about 90% of ads but did miss the transparent overlays that open a new page when clicked. UbO handles all of that just fine.

It’s really wild. Even in my own life we watched each of the first six seasons over and over while waiting for new ones. By the end of it I felt no need. I barely remember how it ended and have no desire to watch it. Kind of sucks, I think I’m right in that age bracket that it was a big deal for. No lasting impact. Like Avatar

I worked in the ED for a decade and this is very true. Avocado injuries might be the most common non allergic good injury. I do mine like this guy says. Usually 3 or 4 a day. I only use butter knives to cut them and the wacking the seed still works. I then take the knife and make either slices or grids in the fruit while it is in the peel and use a spoon to scoop out the pre cut flesh

I’ve played and given up the mandolin several times over tge past several years. Longest continuous before now was maybe three months. What I’ve learned through my own learning process is:

1. Practice in time. Even if it’s slow.
2. Playing with backing tracks helps a ton
3. Posture is key. On my current streak of playing I was able to go from playing the melody of kids songs to the rhythm of some grateful dead songs (at 80 bpm instead of 140 bpm) after spending time watching videos of how to hold and sit. I then had to relearn all my fingerings but it didn’t take nearly as long this time.
4. Sucking is just part of learning anything new. I guess one either enjoys the act of improving independent of the current result or one doesn’t.

Post script: The reason I quit when I do is because I become frustrated with plateaus. I now believe a lot of these plateaus came from bad mechanics. My pinky could not reach the 7th fret no matter how much I practiced. I could not switch chords without destroying my rhythm or muting extra strings etc.

Cool thanks!

What bands do you recommend that are of the newer style?
