  • English has a hard enough time being exact as it is, so I do agree with your statement.

    I doubt it is the fact they are corrected(using my perspective as I do not know this person), rather HOW they are corrected. Sometimes I see someone correct another using good natured wit and humour, being polite, and the target of said criticism takes it well and learns, other times they are quite unfriendly and harsh. I don’t mind correction that is polite, I will absolutely ignore the advice if rendered harshly and condescendingly.

    This goes for other situations as well, not gonna go into them as several are landmines, but the approach to correction needs to be more friendly than aggressive.



  • I used to have rats, they are amazing pets (tho too short lived). My 2 favourites were an albino male and a “brown” male rat, it had black brown and white all combined until the bottom 1/3 of his legs/paws and some of his underbelly. The brown one would hide under my hair and in my shirt when I went out with it, the albino was the same but couldn’t “hide” as it contrasted with my hair too much. Damn I miss them



  • I’ve never gotten a Linux system running with the expectation that it will work 100%.

    I only expect an OS to do what it was designed to do. I was so happy when steam went full crazy on proton, all of my flat library works like a dream, only 30 or so games, my VR library is over 100.

    100% I do know of (and was well aware before my move) the limitations, I used linux in early 00. The way flat games are today I see VR being similar in 5 - 10 yrs (we are a small community overall and even smaller on linux). We WILL get there because the “real gurus” will take us there, I has faith and patience. Until then, M$ can harvest my streams and VR gameplay (I have stripped all apps, files, and flat games from my windows install and I only play for 2hrs at a time 5-7 times a week)


  • Yes, we can play “some” VR games on linux (vive(my headset), index, quest, and pico all have compatibility) but it is not yet at the point flat games are. I’m still trying to get more than the meta ported games to play with proper feeling(even they are a little lacking), the other games almost all have issues with frame rate, making it extremely tiring and headache inducing, then there are the mods that do not have linux native mod installers/launchers (satisfactory modders made theirs work well, install game through steam, run smm, install mods, boom done) where you need to install steam a second time with the game inside it as well. It is coming along and I am here for it, but until VR is up to speed I cannot let go of that crap os, all I can do is play all the games that work well in linux and the rest on a content stripped windows (I’ve removed all apps and files not required for VR/streaming)

    STRONG SUGGESTION FOR VR USERS ON STEAM: Get WLX overlay to be able to interact with your desktop since steam likes to close the desktop overlay when the desktop is interacted with





  • Been folding double and queen fitted sheets for a few decades, it is not really that hard.

    • Pick a side (long or short)
    • put the corners into each other, by folding in half (I like to put the “body” side of the sheets inside)
    • put the 2 corners together (here you can put the sheet down to make the sides “nice” so they are square)
    • fold in half until you can’t I usually get 3 folds (should be about as big as a towel folded in half 3 times on the shelf but taller)

    Takes a few moments once you are proficient. All my sheets have had elastic on all sides
