Life tip for the new year:
When someone says, "it's not you." It's you.
If you haven't figured this out yet, it's been you all along.

The enfeeblement of a nation by inept, delusional leadership that presumes a nation can be run like a corporation with a mercurial, bragadocious blowhard at the helm. Think again.

"Precursor farts" refers to the idea that certain foods contain the "precursor" or "building block" chemical compounds that gut bacteria break down to produce the gas (flatus) that is eventually expelled as a fart.

I must say that Linux has been fast, clean and stable so far. I've installed DaVinci Studio, Darktable and Gimp; it's built as a video editing workstation. For shitz and giggles, I installed Steam to see if it'd run games through Proton and the Windows compatibility layer, and it does. It's fast too

Well, I pulled the trigger and have replaced Windows with Linux on my video editing workstation. So far so good - and yes, DaVinci Resolve Studio runs natively on Linux, so all good. Not keen on Gimp. DarkTable seems a decent replacement for Lightroom... let's see how this goes.
