If that is enough for your needs, that’s fine.

from the moment you realize just how easy and powerful using the console is, you learn how to use it

Yes, I understand that; there is a learning curve. For some, too steep.

The short answer is yes. But the interesting part - and I’m talking from personal experience - is that from the moment you realize just how easy and powerful using the console is, you learn how to use it.

And it does not mean you are going to turn into a full on expert or geek, tinkering around the console. You just learn a few simple commands that enable you to do something (or somethings) quicker, easier and cleaner than going through a GUI.

Can you? Yes. Should you? No.

In my country, cable providers offer streaming subscriptions bundled with their standard service since pre-CoViD.

I knew Netflix was a thing because my provider started announcing I could add it to my service for an extra €3.

Didn’t get it regardless.

I’ve seen a Makita eletric brush cutter with an adapter to plug straight into a standard outlet. The person who bought the machine told me it was more expensive than a battery pack but at least it made the machine usable for longer periods of time when energy is available.

Fully agree.

If this kind of institution starts to be ignored, with no consequences, then it no longer serves a purpose.

How could such an odd choice benefit them?

Honest question.

Tiny Core OS, because I want a super light distro to run from memory when trying to access computers where the data is still there but something went sour with the OS

I like so say I want someday to see my work out in the world in the form of (e)books, so I want to keep my options open.

I don’t know.

Not being a spliff smoker, I won’t comment.

Even tobacco can have medical use: I worked with a person that smoked to increase blood pressure, under medical advice.

Wine and even whisky have been linked with having benefitial effects on cardiac function, when drank in moderation.

In my understanding, the biggest issue is the way these substances are used and advertised. The notion of moderation is completely absent.

Dental dams.

I know what it is yet never found it selling.

Licking envelopes.

There was a time when the glue was somewhat sweet. I grew out of it quick enough - wasn’t willing to stick paper in my mouth - but not quick enough to not build that memory.

WD40

It has a very wide range of uses but there is a limit for it.

If a company can successfully desig, build and sell heavy machinery while at the same time manufacturing personal care items, let them be.

What is concerning about spliff is the tendency to facilitate descent into abnormal mental states.

I enjoy good relations with a few healthcare professionals and the general consensus is, at this point, spliff has more potential benefits to explore than bad effects, so it makes sense to explore it, never overlooking the continuous use has been linked with some serious mental inbalances and even some physical syndromes.

Just a few days ago, here, on Lemmy, there was a lemming talking about a strange condition where continuous use over decades can trigger extremer pain and discomfort episodes, due to deposit of substances on fat tissue.

Tobacco is a proven killer, yes, but who knows what weird side effets we may be yet to discover connected with mary jane.

Is your name Gyro Gearloose?

No. Working sales is becoming the devil envoy.

Please do not do that. You will miss it.

I can respect that feeling. Especially the competitive part. It feels as if every and anything nowadays needs to become a competition.

Shortest career of any profession, if what leaks from the business is true to the slightest.

I like IT as well but on that front I want to start a small hobby shop because there is nothing where I live besides dollar stores and phone shops, which sell cheap low quality material.
