Oh man, what a throwback! I had completely forgotten about this. It made a splash and then I never heard anything more about it. One of my coworkers installed it on his Toshiba laptop and ran it for a week or two before giving up.

Seriously this. Any comment about a complicated system that starts with “just” can be ignored 99% of the time.

Also, there are 4k forks of Ventoy already. Obviously forking it isn’t helping. Actual work needs to be done.

Your echo statements should be put into a function so you don’t have \n littered throughout your script.

Your url var could be improved. Why have it? If you really want it, why not put type=info in the var?

Not my last, but after using killall in Linux, I tried it on hpux, only to discover and later confirm in the man page that on hpux it doesn’t take any arguments, it just kills every process.

Michigan lakes area. It is sometimes really windy and really cold for long periods of time. The kind of climate where we get ice in the inside of our windows. Any mechanics needed to have a mechanical doorbell would also let in cold air.

Edit: apparently there are some that have mechanics that pass through the wall that are similar to a door handle and can be sealed up pretty well. Very cool!

I would love that if my climate allowed for it.

Maybe that was lost in translation. Maybe what they meant to say is they love cunnilingus.

No joke, I hesitated to even click on the thumbnail. That’s what this bullshit modern internet has conditioned me to do.

As a Samsung tab s owner where the OS was always >= 1 year behind in releases, this was my first question.

“I drank a fifth of Boone’s, dare me to scroll in private rooms?”

A wearer of an engagement ring receives it when they become engaged, and a wearer of a wedding ring receives it when they wed. Seems pretty consistent to me.

it’s hard to be brave enough to approach new people

I was talking to my wife yesterday about how I gained social skills as an adult, and part of it was making a deliberate effort to start conversations with at least a few strangers everyday. Not hold a conversation, merely start one. Doing this for a while helps you get comfortable making chit chat and feeling out if it’s worth continuing a conversation, and breaks down the idea that every conversation has to be meaningful.

Not sure if this helps you, but it really helped me.

As for where to go, look for gatherings like flea markets, car shows, street fairs, anything. Even if you don’t care about the topic, be there for the people, and keep an open, curious mind. Maybe even make a game out of it, like the meow game, or some other goofy phrase, or try to ask a variety of people the same question. Or bring something that is a conversation starter like a dog, or juggling balls, or something small related to your furry hobby. The idea is to be around people in a mode that makes interaction easy.

Meeting people is just the first part though. Moving on to friendship obviously takes more work and time.

“Satanic music, jazz and swing” would be a badass album title.

Can money solve that problem? I don’t think so. It would help a bit, but surely not to a point that makes the significant difference.

Lots of good advice in this thread already, but I want to add a few details:

• that loose hoodie would be even better if the pockets zip up. Losing important items on a plane sucks. Also the pockets work great as a security checkpoint stash: remove your metal and empty your pants pockets all into your sweatshirt pockets, zip them, remove and put in the bin. On the other side you put it back on and have everything easily available.
• if you can’t find a zippable hoodie, go with a non-hoodie with zip pockets and a beanie that you can pull down over your eyes.
• for sleep aids, it’s a good idea to wait until after the first meal, which is usually within the first two hours of the flight, but you can ask and make sure.
• make sure your headphones have a plug, not just Bluetooth. The in-flight entertainment usually does not work with only Bluetooth, though some do.

Power banks are not allowed to be used on most long haul flights I’ve been on (trans-pacific), and when transiting through China they even confiscate them if they are over a certain capacity, but all flights have AC plugs at each seat.

It could be an excuse to avoid the real reasons. If OP really wants to know the full story, he could ask one of the women who said this to be 100% honest with him about all the reasons she’s not interested.
