  • Look at these weak children these days, with their molded plastic dizzy spinners with built in seating so you don’t fly off. Back in my day you had a round piece of steel with some bent pipes to hold onto in the feeble attempt not get thrown across the playground into a railroad tie that’s holding back the splinter filled wood chips. Oh yeah and the lead paint was flaking off the whole time… come to think about it, I think our parks department sucks.




  • My mom put herself through nursing school by working at a nursing home. Once I was an adult she opened up about some of the stuff she saw, she said there was so much sex that they joked about installing a hose in the hall so they could separate patients when they caught them. When I asked her why they didn’t just look the other way and let them have their fun she said they actually did but the administrator was a hardcore Catholic and told them they were to separate them as soon as they were caught.

    I found Ubuntu to be a bit to foreign when transitioning from Windows, it was actually the first distro I tried. It has more of an old school Mac feel to me, and I just couldn’t get used to it. I get what you’re saying about the guides though, I do still get Ubuntu forums a lot when I forget to add + Linux Mint on the end of my searches.

    For me it was Ubuntu, then back to windows for a while, then ZoronOS for a while, then finally settling on Mint. I’ve tried a few other distros over the years but I keep coming back to Mint.

    Linux Mint, as someone who switched about 10 years ago it’s what I always recommend. I tried several distros, but mint has been my daily driver for the last 9 years.

    Also it’s set up similarly to Win 7, so it’s far more intuitive for a Windows user. And Mint seems to have the best documentation and community when you can’t figure something out.

    *And before anyone says anything, I’m speaking of the Debian based distros, I know REHL has some distros that also have great documentation and communities, I’m just a Debian guy so that’s what I’m comfortable speaking to.
