I read a old SiFi short story called 'The Marching Morons'. Idiocracy and part of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe could have been based on this story. At the end the remaining smart people convince the morons that mars is heaven and launch them into space and blowup the ships.

The term boomer is going to outlive boomers, so all you Gen X, millennials, etc get used to being called that.

Shifting of focus (eyes to keyboard then back to screen) can slow you down a lot. With computers I just stare at the keyboard and type. Problem with this is when something happens on the screen and the cursor is no longer where I think it is.
What I hate is the forced use of the mouse. Either make it all mouse or all keyboard navigable. In fact, with people having to use screen readers, all forms need to be keyboard navigable.

Is it really a house if it doesn’t stop the wind or rain?

Incompetence definitely has Occam's approval at this time.

I am taking the photo. I was always the one taking the photo.

I have not been happy with most Chinese purchases I have made in the past. Are the EVs going to fall apart in 6-8 months also?

No, not unless it is some sort of instantaneous matter transmission. Assuming mass and inertia still apply it would still take years to get to the closes suns. Hugh expense, difficult to control and limited benefit. Probably end up bankrupting the sending country.

A rude awakening!

Maybe try for the uncanny valley look. Or Mar-a-lago face if you just want to creep out intelligent guys.

 

Especially gas powered ones. If you are going to blow refuse in the street, can’t you at least do it quietly?

 

I want to replace Win10 on the desktop system I mostly use for gaming. It is an older system with an Nvidia GeForce 1050ti gpu in it, which from what I found, should not be a problem. I was thinking about going with Ubuntu since it is well supported. I was interested if anyone has any opinions about this. I am also going to try and dual boot it with the Win10 for now. I purchased a new SSD drive just for Linux.

 

I was looking into buying a used or refurbished laptop and installing a Linux distro on it. Mostly want to use it for surfing the web, but I am sure it will have a lot of other uses. What are some good sites to buy a laptop? What should I consider as far as the type of hardware goes (Gpu, WiFi, etc)? What would be good distros to consider? I have been working with Linux for a long time, so I would not consider myself a beginner. Thanks for any advice.

 

I am going through the Godot tutorial and am in the 3D part. I clicked the perspective button and changed to top view. I now have no idea how to return the editor camera to where it was before and the tutorial seems to expect you to be in this default view. I tried searching, but I don’t think I am using the correct words to describe what I want.
