My plumber told me never to use a plunger in a toilet, and to use a snake instead. The back-and-forth motion from using the plunger can damage the wax seal and cause a leak.

It’s got produce, bread, and meat highlighted for the bread knife.

The only thing I’ve ever used a bread knife for is bread.

The bread knife has markers in the produce, bread, and meat sections

Netflix made a huge dent in piracy in their early streaming days. It was a convenient, and cheap, service with a ton of good content. Then everyone else started pulling their content from Netflix and built their own streaming services, and all of a sudden watching TV and movies got expensive again.

Then Netflix started enshittifying its service by limiting streaming resolution, cracking down on account sharing, putting ads in.

A lot of pirates wouldn’t be pirates if Netflix was as good as it used to be.

I have Nobara running on an old Lenovo Flex 15 with an 8th gen i5. Everything on it worked right out of the box including the multi-touch screen, I can’t imagine why it wouldn’t work on any other distro. I can’t tell the difference in responsiveness between Windows and Linux on it.

I’m kind of shocked that it’s only been 18 years since the last 486 chip was made. It was launched in 1989 and discontinued in 2008, while the original Pentium was launched in 1993 and discontinued in 1999. Hell, the Pentium 4 was discontinued in 2007.

You can still heat it up past 100 once it’s turned to vapor. However, it requires a ton of energy to convert it to vapor in the first place.

I will check when I get a chance. Nothing jumped out at me after, but I didn’t think to check in the moment.

Yes, I tried with VLC as well. It works as intended there. Video pauses, and the PC suspends or shuts down normally.

Firefox seems to be the only thing that prevents it, and only if there’s a video loaded. Doesn’t have to be the active window, and it doesn’t matter which display it’s on. If there’s a video playing or paused, it prevents suspend and shutdown.

That’s not a fix though, it’s a hoop to jump through every time. Regardless of OS, it’s incorrect behavior.

If the games you’re looking to play are competitive multiplayer games, those usually actively fight Linux users. Games like Valorant, Apex Legends, and Fortnite are all broken on Linux due to their invasive anti-cheat software. There are exceptions to this, of course. The devs of Marvel Rivals, for example, have said that they don’t have a problem with players on Linux.

For.anything else, odds are it will work fine. You can always check protondb.com to see if, and how well, your games work under Linux.

I’ve been Linux-only for a few years now, and I haven’t had issues playing anything yet, besides maybe some minor tweaks.

Mods can be more complicated, but I don’t have much experience with that. I do believe Nexus Mods are working of a project to simplify game mods under Linux, so hopefully that works out well.

Others have already answered your questions, so I just wanted to add that the Linux community is based on sharing and cooperation, mainly though Open Source principles, but also in most other ways. From personal experience, I would say that the community is pretty much always willing to help out when you experience issues. There’s always someone willing to share some insight.

The main issue is that they have the authority to deny entry and to detain you for basically any reason they can come up with, and it’s been shown that they won’t hesitate to do either or both.

So if you really must travel to the US, you need to comply. Your best bet is for your phone to look normal enough, and not have anything they wouldm’t like on it.

Pink is a shade of red, so pink itself is not a real color.

Some of them are popular enough to have 100k concurrent viewers. Some have had multiple stalkers and threats on their lives. When they go out and do IRL streams, they have to hire security. Some of them have contracts for stupid amounts of money. we’re talking 9 digits.

The average person may not know who they are, but all it takes is one coincidence to put their lives at risk.

There’s also a difference between some 100 viewer Andy on Twitch, and someone like Kai Cenat or Pokimane or xQc. Those are some recognizable names and faces, and they take precautions about this stuff. They have assistants and other staff that nobody would ever recognize.

Streamers often have food dropped off at their door, so even if the delivery driver knew of the streamer they were delivering to, they wouldn’t know that’s who they’re dropping the food off for.

Big streamers are paranoid enough to take extra security measures to prevent anyone from knowing where they live, and usually move away pretty quickly if someone finds out.

I find they kick my ass because they’re often hard to see until they’re already shooting at me

What recipes have you tried that aren’t good enough? Cornbread is such a basic and forgiving recipe that it’s hard to get it wrong.

They only need to get lucky once.
