QED

How does it fare compared with the standard Mint?

I’ve been considering try it but because of the focus on Cinamon I keep delaying it.

Write as you see fit your story should be. You can’t please both greeks and trojans. If you think a given character is necessary, put them in your story.

And taking a risk of sounding ignorant and out of touch: why such concern for skin colors?

party pizza

this is going to sound strange but I’m not even aware of what that implies

I live in a simple place: pizza comes in small, medium and large. Anything else, you order and pay it by weight/ingredients.

I wasn’t even aware what it was and every single result the search engine returned was around the lines of “recipe for a cake to serve to a large number of people”.

You usually make a recipe to be small and just multiply the volume of ingredients in order to serve more.

not the other way around

You made me find what a sheet cake was and I am sincerely horrified.

Sand and lack of oil.

Smart ass replies aside, if I’m low on sleep, anything - and I do mean anything - has the potencial to grind my gears.

If that is enough for your needs, that’s fine.

from the moment you realize just how easy and powerful using the console is, you learn how to use it

Yes, I understand that; there is a learning curve. For some, too steep.

The short answer is yes. But the interesting part - and I’m talking from personal experience - is that from the moment you realize just how easy and powerful using the console is, you learn how to use it.

And it does not mean you are going to turn into a full on expert or geek, tinkering around the console. You just learn a few simple commands that enable you to do something (or somethings) quicker, easier and cleaner than going through a GUI.

Can you? Yes. Should you? No.

I’ve seen a Makita eletric brush cutter with an adapter to plug straight into a standard outlet. The person who bought the machine told me it was more expensive than a battery pack but at least it made the machine usable for longer periods of time when energy is available.

Tiny Core OS, because I want a super light distro to run from memory when trying to access computers where the data is still there but something went sour with the OS

Not requesting as I’m not a Steam client but I have to ask: how do people gather these codes? Do you buy it? Or are these freebies?

I like so say I want someday to see my work out in the world in the form of (e)books, so I want to keep my options open.

Thank you very much.

Can I get some links, please?

Version control is an interesting idea.

I used to write fiction as a hobbie and want to return to it again.

The blank sheet of a standard text editor messes with my nerves. I lose myself editing, formating, etc.

If I could find a prompt that I could pre set the font, layout of the final work, and then have the program leave me alone, it would be perfect.

Most writers solutions come with a lot of bells and whistles, like word counter, time elapsed, goals, etc. Unnecessary. Distracting.

Prose. Fiction. Not programming. I may learn to code in a near future but I want to start writing for leisure again.

• could/would not be any name borrowed from a relative, alive or dead
• had to have some meaning to us as parents
• had to be something that could be used with pride, with no fear of mocking or teasing
• had to be legal
• if possible, uncommon

Well, I was able to successfully reproduce, so you might have a point there.
