I'd like to test my PC a bit It must also run on Linux, either natively or through proton

I have a hundred chokers for my fashion, and I cycle them every single day.

Currently, They are all stored in their original plastic sleeves.

This means my routine is as follows.

  • Pick up pile of sleeves
  • Select a choker by shuffling through the sleeves like they are cards.
  • unpack choker
  • place choker on for the day
  • remove choker
  • put choker back in sleeve
  • place sleeve back in pile

I find the task of sleeve management to be frustrating. And would rather have them all organized in such a way so that I may be able to view them, and choose them out as warranted.

What do you say is the best way to store them? (Product, Idea to make, anything)

Edit 1: A limitations I have is that I cannot install anything permanently to the apartment. 😖

So I'm having a pizza craze so I'd thought I'd ask you fellow pizza enjoyers what your preferences are.

For the crust - I prefer this to be deep pan as I find it more filling and a hearty meal. stonebaked and thinner crusts are okay but if it's too hard and crunchy and in the middle then I'm not a huge fan.

Stuffed crust? That shit is a luxury for me and is my 2nd fave.

Toppings - It's either the classic reliable pepperoni pizza or you razzle dazzle ham, mushrooms and slice of pepper for me.

Chicken and sweetcorn is nice, but I'd have it with a BBQ base rather than a normal tomato base.

Cheese layer - Don't really care, just don't make it cheap wax

Frozen/Fresh - I enjoy Morrisons "Market" range of pizzas, you get a hearty and decent sized pizza for not a bad price.

Frozen? It's either ALDI, Chicago and Icelands "NY" range for me as it does its job as a cheeky treat.

Fast food - Local pizzeria takeaways tbh, I like our local pizza takeaway who never, NEVER skimps out on the toppings. Absolute chad of a man I assure you.

So what are your preferences in these categories?

I was reading a post about unique things you wouldn't want, such as a nasty medical condition named after you.

That got me thinking.

What is the most unique thing.

Being the tallest person doesn't count, because there is always a tallest person...

I thought maybe units of measure, there are not really that many units named after people. Newton, Pascal, ampere etc... Turns out there are quite a few.

Next thought was atomic elements, there are 19 named after 20 people. That is fairly unique 20 people out of the ~110 billion to have ever lived, have an element named after them.

Just curious because I don’t see people talk about it a lot.

Just a mild passing thought and curiosity to mull over

You are going away, to some place isolated... in space, of course. You will only be around one other person. You can take an allotment if 1GB of personal media with you (text, video, music, games, pics, etc.) that you will be able to access in your free time indefinitely at will.

The other person will also take 1GB with them, but you won't be able to talk to them until you're on the journey.

You will have access to any knowledge resources to perform your function and keep you alive. You will never return to a point where you can get new external media. Any additional media you ever access would have to be created by you and or your travel partner with what you have access to.

You will also not know the sex of your partner, but they have willingly taken the same risks to embark on the journey as yourself, and will have a similar mission.

EDIT: I'm interested in how a free Palestine would play out in terms of what that would mean for women, gays, children, people of non-muslim religions, in terms of personal freedoms, etc. For the average citizen/denizen what would that look like?

Building on my previous question, it is also allowed to use video game gameplay data to improve an AI? (I decided to split this into a separate question, but I don't know if this question is identical to the previous one.)

I've mostly been to forums that favor the latter format so that's what I'm used to (and why I made a group for it that is looking for participants, it's like making more flexible communities within communities, a federation inception), but I was wondering where you would draw the line.

[Legal question] It is allowed to use actual video games for training AI that can play them?

Folks with vaginas, I'm conducting some family comparative analysis and I'd like to know how many standard pieces of toilet paper do you use when wiping after a pee. I posted some comments with options to upvote if you like.

Overmorrow refers to the day after tomorrow and I feel like it comes in quite handy for example.

Have been keeping half an eye on framework laptops as a potential next daily driver as and when I'm ready for one.

Just wondering what people's experience of using them on linux has been, particularly nixos

I'm assuming all the drivers are in the kernel given the way the company is

Have been using a 2016 thinkpad for the past year or so and have had a decent experience with it, with the way lenovo have gone with their newer thinkpads it seems like framework is now the best for maintainability/upgradability

(not planning to upgrade in the immediate future as this machine is doing fine, but frameworks are a strong contender in my mind right now and I'm curious as to people's experience)

I'm not too bad at casual writing but when it comes to sales, especially to sell my skills, I keep feeling like I lack a certain grace or flair with words.

Chat gpt can help with suggestions but I always find anything I write with its assistance feels, well, robotic in a way. Awkward.

So I'm reaching out to you for your inspirational word material out there. English isn't my native language so I'm hoping to improve it further with your suggestions. Authors? Websites? Perhaps eloquent YT creators I can learn from transcribing what they say?

Thanks

I was gonna include a third option about how money is easier to achieve without considering the morality of your actions but that's not really a philosophy as much as it is an objective fact.
