the scientology is approved by people like Tom Cruise. Might be better avoiding though, even if Mission Impossible is enjoyable.

not sure what you mean, but I find that Dells are also cheap (second hand) easy to find, reliable, solid and easy to maintain (like the hardware is easy to access for cleaning and replacing/updating).

edit : I'm using a latitude 5470 with lubuntu. I bought it second in a pawn shop a few years ago and added some RAM last year, it still runs like a charm.

for a lot of people (me included), a cheap second hand thinkpad (or dell pro) with a light distro would be more than enough to cover their computing needs for years.

yeah, it's more about finding open minded people with empathy (and be open minded and empathic ourself) more than finding people just like us. Embracing differences, respecting and understanding eachother is key. There are plenty of people out there who keep their kids to themself and have plenty of other interests, it's easier to meet them if we don't push them away in the first place (just like they don't push us way fro being child free).

it is not such a stretch. according to Oxford dictionary, to throw is :

1.propel (something) with force through the air by a movement of the arm and hand.

which is a very human concept. We then can not judge other species ability to do it (exept primates). just like we can not say animals don't have languages because thay don't speak english.

2.send suddenly into a particular state or condition.

The archer fish is then very efficient at sending water into a particular state or condition with high accuracy.

the octopus for exemple has been observed throwing stuff around.

edit : elephants do it to. and you can find plenty of bird examples.

do not copy paste commands you do not uderstand from shady forums in hope it will solve your problem :)

the archerfish can accurately spit jets of water to hunt inscects ... I'm sure there are much more examples of other species accurately throwing things around. we're not that special ...

Hi all, not sure this is the right place to ask... mods, feel free to do what has to be done if not.

I'm interested is "stone paper" a kind of paper made out of calcium carbonate (from limestone or construction waste) and HDPE (High-density polypropylene).

It's been advertised as a more eological solution for producing paper as it doesn't requires to cut down trees and uses much less water and chemicals in the process, compared to traditional paper.

My concern in about HDPE (that represent more or less 20℅ of the final product). Most companies advertise it as a "non-toxic biodegradable" plastic. But I can not find any reliable information to back this up.

I'm then inclined to think it is just green-washing.

but still I'm wondering if anyone could bring some insight about HDPE being biodegrade ...

thanks !

Hi all, how do you manage to sit for long periods of time ?

I'm having trouble staying still after 25/30mn. After that my right leg gets so numb, I've got to move it every once in a while. I'm not sure it really is an issue, but even if I try ti stay focused on my meditation while moving, it's always a distraction. Fyi : I sit crossed legs with my butt on a cushion.

Thanks !

 

Why are some people here on fuckcars still debating on what the best car is ? I mean, most of the time the best car is no car.

edit : that was a genuine question. I wasn't expecting such wrath from car enthusiasts.

 

I’ve got to work on the thin lines. Model can be found here.
