I have a bread box…which I generally don’t keep my bread in
Fair; that was mostly a general warning, not necessarily directed at you, because many people do copypaste terminal commands without knowing what they are actually doing.
As long as you understand what a command does, absolutely go for it. No point typing that shit out when somebody else already has
Do not copy and paste into Bash if you don’t understand the commands you’re pasting in
This is the biggest thing. I’m very comfortable in Bash, but that is not the norm; the second my wife needs to run sudo apt get
, she’s out, fuck that
It’s probably the standard in both POSIX and the Single UNIX Specification, so I guess ask Ken Thompson?
LxQt is nice, it is barebones like Xfce, but built on the Qt framework like KDE. Xfce uses GTK, like GNOME.
I specifically like Xfce or LxQt, because I generally run older hardware; I suppose my biggest question is how easily I could use either (not overly picky about which). I’m not sure which desktop environment LMDE defaults to, but both Gnome and KDE are deal-breakers for me, unless it’s easily changeable.
I don’t have that problem on my actual Debian machines, because they’re headless anyways, there is no desktop environment at all
I’ve been curious about LMDE, I use the Xfce version of regular Mint, but am comfortable in Debian (at least, server Debian). How does LMDE compare?
Linux vs. Windows doesn’t generally affect the cost unless you’re building the machine yourself, or buying from a Linux specific vendor like Framework (which are generally more expensive than what you’ll find at Best Buy anyways). The major PC manufacturers are going to have Windows pre-installed whether you want it or not.
Pascal or Camel are best cases
The earliest fungi evolved approximately 1.5 billion years ago, while green algae, the earliest plant, only evolved ~1 billion years ago. Animalia is significantly newer.

Come to Winnipeg because you’re curious; stay because your car got stolen and Greyhound stopped operating there
Yeah, sounds like Winnipeg
For the actual physical connection, you use a male receptacle
In order to do it legally, you also need the transfer switch, as has been mentioned.
Switching the neutral and hot pins doesn’t matter except for appliances with exposed metal tied to the neutral pin, which is pretty much exclusive Edison screw lamps. This is why many plugs (especially those that immediately go to a rectifier) don’t bother with polarization.
Swtching hot and ground is a problem
50-50 chance whether those two outlets are on the same phase or opposite phases; if it’s the latter, congrats, that’s a 240V short.
Besides, if there’s an outlet at the far end of your string of lights, you don’t need this, you just plug it in there
I was going to pipe in that I paid for Minecraft in infdev, so pre-alpha. But now that you mention it, it was dirt cheap, and they had already had several free access weekends in indev, so I had a pretty good idea of what I was getting myself into
