Wow that is a gorgeous image

Hopefully the one in BC gets closes also

I meant the USB power coming from dock to charge port on laptop. If you mean USB (thunderbolt) out for display then it migtht not be bidirectional for power. My HP has a USB-C thunderbolt but the power cord has the USBC and barrel power in one plug since the USBC can’t charge the laptop.

USB Cable connection, power failing? Is drive set to power down on idle and then falling off the radar?

WSL is fine for doing ssh type stuff or simple things but it is wonky for full distro use experience.

Did indexing get triggered?

I have an HP zbook. Fan did that a few times, almost like it didn’t recognize power control and defaulted to a higher fan speed. Booting to windows and then back to Linux fixed it. Not sure why.

Is the office and thee charge rated at enough wattage, and is the USB cable a heavy duty power cable intended for the machine or some cheap cable?

Uni students temporarily need passes to leave campus grounds…wow…we take our freedom for granted

You can have mountains i n BC, you don’t need to live downtown Vancouver to see them. Lots of rural areas

Yes, especially If you are established in an area with a community. We moved across country East side to West side. You lose family, friends, and it is hard to reintegrate since people already have their own circles. Job changes or job hunting, plus costs of moving drain your accounts.

Could be because the decision to move and be accepted takes time and some of the biden moves were initiated by the trump presidency

SID was a chip with both digital and analog sides to the die and can do a lot of things still, making them sought after. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOS_Technology_6581

I was lucky that my work software had a Linux version, so since 2017 was able to use Linux all day. Recently I needed Windows for a software. It is hell dealing with Windows interface again (it has a terrible workflow), and constant push of nonsense AI in apps, etc

Hawaii. Beautiful scenery, culture, food. Florida has a beach yes , but also ugly cities and some terrible. floridians

I Bussed tables a long time ago. Plate stacking was helpful if the patron did it as plates only, but some patrons try handing you a stack of plates that have silverware sandwiched in between and it makes it precarious

This is my favorite reading of it. Gives me goosebumps. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESWzPhZWYeI

“Silence deafens everything.” At first it seems counterintuitive, but being silent can “deafen” those around you (or society) to an issue or problem.

And my friends dad commented on his wanderlust need : “It doesn’t matter where you travel to, you will never get away from yourself”

Income is income. Crypto is traceable, cash is not. Not sure how people think crypto is anonymous, there is a literal ledger of transactions

Both my parents were longtime smokers, my dad quit cold Turkey after 25 years. My mum quit cold turkey after about 45. They both seemed fine with it, maybe some nicorette gum at first but they dropped that quickly. With my dad having 20 years smoke free ahead of my mom, his health is way better. He is active. My mom needed some heartwork done.

You could try OpenSUSE, it has Yast2 GTK GUI control panel for everything, no command line needed. Assuming CLI is what you find troublesome.

And GUI package manager
