"In 24 hours they'll be
Laying flowers
On my life,
it's over tonight
I'm not messing no I
Need your blessing
And your promise to live free
Please do it for me...
I'm not alone, I sense it, I sense it
All that I said, I meant it, I meant it
And I can't believe
How much I've wasted my time"

Do they have a tiny bit, kind of like how you'd get carded for ODoul's at a self checkout in... my state... despite not having barely any uh "active ingredient"?

it's not creepy to talk to someone about mutual interests, it's when you try to get them back to your bunk that things go off the rails

Maybe I'm conflating being supportive of Trump / Trump hats at cons with literal swastikas. (The few who donned them at Defcon were not given a warm welcome, to put it mildly.) I w…

The line between gray and black is so fuzzy it's best to keep such things offline, thanks for the lead on purely technical discussions :3

To be clear just on linux? How old is "pretty old"? Are you connecting to 2.4ghz or 5ghz? A USB is probably better, but maybe try something from a physical store so you can return …
