I use the Bluefin flavor of Silverblue. I like not having to tinker with my laptop to keep it working, everything happens in the background.

I’ve got the same setup but less storage. But more importantly, what’s Anna’s?

Actually, yeah I forgot about AI. I play with that a little, and it definitely spins up for that. Framework did just put a video out about running AI on their 16" with modular graphics card. But integrated on the 13" is definitely a push.

As soon as I read “destructive to both sides in a conflict” I immediately thought of that case. And then you referenced it 😂

I learned that word from an old comic from the late 19th century called The Katzenjammer Kids, which apparently is the oldest strip still in syndication.

It’s a program for running/playing ttrpgs (think d&d remotely). And I don’t think they’ve ever spun up without me trying to do something graphically intensive. But I also doing do builds so our cases might not overlap much.

You probably have enough responses by now, but I have a 12th gen intel 13 running Bluefin, previously PopOS. I love it and haven’t had any problems with it. I once had to reset the main board by disconnection the batteries (both main and RTC) and it was a super simple process following their guide. The fan does get loud but I’ve only encountered that when I’m on Foundry or if I try to play a more modern game, but it doesn’t bother me.

Borborygmus I use often enough, but it’s not widely known. It’s the gurgling sound produced by the movement of gas through your intestines.

Limaceous I almost never use, but I enjoy it anyway. It means characteristic of or pertaining to slugs.

And lastly, tawdry is one of my favorites meaning showy but cheap and poor quality.

That was lovely, thank you for that.

I knew the first three, but not four and five. TIL

Broadchurch was great for that as well. I adored Olivia Coleman in that, and often forgot she was acting it felt so raw.

Have you read the books? And if so, how does it compare? At least with the books I added a touch of Catcher in the Rye to HP & Narnia to describe it. Because really, Quintin can be a moody little git a lot of the time.

Amen to Uncle Iron. I legit teared up when he had his short in Ba Sing Se.

Yes! 100% with you. Any show that makes me care about the characters and miss them when they’re gone is a win in my book. Same for character growth. Firefly, Parks and Rec, and Schmitt’s Creek were like that for me as well.

Thanks for that, that was helpful and encouraging. My parents never talked to me about anything and I was planning on being the exact opposite. But watching those kinds of movies together is a great idea.

I appreciate you taking the time to write that.

Thanks for that. A couple of years ago I taught English overseas, from way too young through HS seniors and the 10 - tween age was my favorite. Old enough to be actual little people, but young enough to still think I’m cool. I loved that “start becoming who they’ll be as an adult” phase, it really was a beautiful thing.

I know it won’t all be sunshine and roses, but I’m excited for this opportunity!

Yeah, the Hitler Youth propaganda is what I’m afraid of. Hopefully, I can counteract that in day to day life, but the thought still scares me.

You sound like a good dad. I’m in the process of becoming one to a tween and I appreciated reading your post. Thank you.

I’m in the process of adopting a tween and that was my plan. DNS filter to block malware, ads, and I think I have it set to block gambling sites (which probably isn’t necessary, but eh, it shouldn’t also cause a conflict). My plan is to let him do his own thing, but know he can come to me to talk about anything he finds or doesn’t understand.
