I replaced the gas valve on my heater system in my house and it was simple, but yeah scary. Just shut off the gas main outside of the house, did the deed, turned the gas back on and tested everything I touched with an electric tester before turning anything on. Someone mentioned soapy water which is a brilliant idea and I'll remember that for next time.

Yup, a childhood friend of mine gave me the first Harry Potter book for my birthday, and my christian parents threw it away after they left because "it promotes witchcraft". Then I grew up and realized I was trans, and hate Harry Potter for an entirely different reason.

I don't think it's a good idea to put any of your information in a "protest" form...

Sweet. Well hopefully in the future I'll be able to get Cubase running and ditch windows entirely.

I've attempted to install Cubase using Bottles with no luck. I think the difficulty revolves around audio drivers and such.

I made the move to Linux about a month ago, and it's been super smooth (and yes I have an NVIDIA 3080). I went with CachyOS though. The ONLY thing keeping me dual-booting windows though is Cubase (DAW), which is unfortunate but whatever. I don't really play any games that use EAC / kernel-level anti-cheat so it doesn't affect me, but is a bummer.
