  • No, but I would love to read up on that. lol , brb gonna do an internet search

    Edit: I couldn’t find anything on them crashing during their convoys, but I found a couple that lived out of an RV they decked out in Trump stuff and would sell things out of as their business. The same exact RV was involve into incidents; you can’t make this up! In the first one, they stopped in the right lane of a highway early in the morning. Another woman stopped to help them. Their trailer was hit by yet another motorist and killed the woman that stopped to help. In the second incident, which happened recently, they totaled the RV by crashing it into a pole. I hope they stay off of the road because they seem like a hazard (either oblivious or neglectful at the least) and one person already lost their life.




  • Cool! Check this out…

    The following is a list of the first two rivers by outflow and the Mississippi in acre-foot:

    River Outflow (ac-ft/s)
    Amazon 181.6
    Ganges–Brahmaputra–Meghna 35.6
    Mississippi 17.3

    Crazy that the top is over 5 times more than the next one 😮. The largest outflow in North America and the one I’ve seen in person is the Mississippi, which is only 9.5% the outflow of the Amazon. The Amazon is over 10 times more than the Mississippi, which I thought was humongous in person 😮.

    On to sewers, which is what one of the uses for the acre-foot according to your quote. The following is a list wastewater generated by location:

    Location Generation (ac-ft/s)
    Asia 5,073.6
    NA & Europe 2,124.6
    All 3 Continents 7,198.2

    So the outflow of the Mississippi alone is greater than twice the wastewater of Asia, North America, and Europe combined 😮!

    My math may need to be checked 😬





  • This is me. I’ve never said, “This is too much garlic.”

    Fun fact: I tend to get obsessed with eating the same thing for months. One of those obsessions was kettle-cooked salt & vinegar chips. I’m talking about a large bag before bed every 2 days. I did this for about 3-6 months. During that period, I had a regular primary care check up with routine blood work. My cholesterol came back terrible. My HDL was too low and LDL was too high. It was so bad that the doctor told me that they were putting me on Lipitor eventho I was in 37/38 years old and otherwise athletic shape.

    I argued with the doc explaining that I could fix it on my own with diet. We negotiated and the compromise was that I had 3 months to fix it. In 3 months, we would run blood work again. If it was still high, Lipitor time. I cut off all chips and started eating raw garlic however I could with meals. I would mostly use a garlic press and marinate it in olive oil. Then, I would drip a lot of this on rice, beans, pasta, pizza… anything that would go good with raw garlic. When we ran the blood work again, I was in the clear with completely healthy cholesterol levels, both HDL and LDL.

    I don’t know if the garlic had anything to do with it, or if it was merely just abstaining from the chips, but something worked. If you’re dealing with cholesterol issues and don’t want to be on meds, maybe consider eating raw garlic. It might help, and even if it doesn’t, it’s delicious 🤤



  • I tried installing Arch once about 10 years ago. I couldn’t get it to work even though I admittedly didn’t try my hardest. I was in a PhD program at the time, so my mental resources and time were quite limited. Still, I had real experience as a sysadmin, so I wasn’t entirely computer illiterate. Every time I see a potential user switching to Linux asking for distro recommendations and others suggests Arch, I internally roll my eyes. Unless that user is a computer programmer or similar looking to prove their skills to themselves, that is a great way to get someone to never switch to Linux because they will more than likely become overwhelmed with the installation.

    If you are switching to Linux for the first time and don’t want to spend a frustrating week reading a wiki and troubleshooting lots of minute but consequential issues, don’t start with Arch! Linux Mint is by far the easiest for new users. Give it a run for a while until you feel like switching to more demanding distros.
