I switched to Kubuntu (KDE Plasma with Wayland turned on) and it's absolutely wonderful.

It was my steam deck that convinced me to just wipe windows from my laptop and install Kubuntu which is basically the same as steamOS. I had no idea Linux desktop was so good these days. Bye bye windows! I love my steam deck but I also still need a laptop form factor, I can't always dock it and use it as my PC.

The reason there is a "party system" at all is because of our voting system. It forces a two party system and if you don't listen to the parties you'll throw your vote away. If we switch to Ranked Choice Voting this wouldn't be a problem anymore and we'd be able to actually elect the most popular candidate.

Whose camera system is it?

There's lots of those. Alien is one of them. The alien itself is the manifestation of humanity's self centered nature.

Interesting, I started with DeWalt, have never had 1 single issue and I have about 10 different tools. But I've always wanted to switch to Milwaukee because I like red better than yellow, but I'm in too deep with DeWalt 😂

$10,000 a year to provide a single person housing? To put that in perspective. I'd assume that means a studio type apartment of some kind. Not high end, but a roof and place to live for $10,000 a year. I have a 1500sqft home in Washington state on 3 acres of land, and I pay $27,000 a year for my mortgage. So to me, $10,000 seems reasonable for a government funded studio for a year.

And also ranked choice voting, so there can be more than just 2 people running. F the 2 party system.

Voting gives us no control with the current party system. We need ranked choice voting, end campaigns and advertising. Only 1 website will have the candidates and their platforms, tax funded only, anyone who wants to run can run and ranked choice voting will make the actual most popular acceptable candidate win.

I lost my dad to cancer when I was 30 but now I have a son that is 9 months old and I will definitely be keeping the tradition alive!

My dad and I used to do this for fun back in the 90s 😂

Safety wise it's perfectly safe. The male end is only energized if it detects that it's actually connected to the grid, then it matches the sine wave of the grid. It can't just electrocute you if you unplug it and touch the exposed pins.
