Yes, I recommend the book as well. Don’t ask me why though. I tried quitting smoking many times using many different methods but always failed. On a whim I got the Alan Carr book and read it. I read it in bursts over a month or two. There was nothing interesting in there. Nothing I didn’t already know. I finished it and quit smoking. The next day I relapsed and smoked again. I reread the last few chapters and quit again, this time using nicotine patches. I quit the patches within a day because they made me feel sick. I never smoked again. It’s been 7-ish years and I haven’t had any inclination to smoke again. It went from one of the hardest things to one of the easiest things to do. I don’t care if people smoke around me, it doesn’t bother me anymore. I still don’t know why the book works, but it did for me.

I got that exact one too! It was way better than the Voodoo 3DFX cards.

Periodically rotating passwords is against NIST policy. Ask IT why the insist on using it when everyone, even the government, says it’s insecure
Not sure. Either my 1890s mailman cap, my medieval nasal helmet or my cowboy hat.
If you don’t have cruise control and keep your foot steady, your speed will vary naturally with the road.
Don’t ever go to Spain. They are loud as hell. They all yell at each other at full volume while having multiple TVs and phones blaring on speaker.
Thanks, I will try! Currently I can do 2 reps of 4 pull ups using a 35kg elastic band
Thanks. I’ve been doing unassisted holds halfway (arms at 90 degrees) but I’ll add the others too
I’ve been working for months on doing a single unassisted pull up (i.e. no elastic band).

I’m Dutch, exactly a Kapsalon yes 🤤

I was well into my 40’s when my kid was born, so I’ve had it both ways. I vastly prefer the kid. Yes it sucks to not being able to do some stuff on occasion. It even sucks more that my parents are gone so I have a real hard time finding babysitters. But I just love the little one so damn much!
If you don’t pay for it, you can’t rely on it

My home town has a building built originally in 1220. It is still in use by a pub. That’s over 800 years old!

All the good stuff from Ubuntu has mostly been upstreamed into Debian. And Debian’s rekease cycle is much faster these days than it was back then. So, just run Debian.
