From being 6'5" / 195cm unfortunately. I unironically felt like the tall guy from the Simpsons. IIRC the suspension was OEM and I didn't think it was too stiff. I loved the ride height though. Really felt like zipping around in a go kart!

I miss my NA Miata dearly, but my back and legs sure don't 😞.

Using the popups was always the best part, partially because I liked to imagine she was helping me watch the road ahead of us.

Just gonna pitch in here, but I'm no expert. I was reading people's reactions when that TLD was introduced, and they raised concerns over the possibility that a bad actor could spoof an address that actually downloads a .zip file to your device when you click the link, even though you may assume it's an address to a page. No idea what a hypothetical virus could do from a compressed environment, but thats what I remember reading.

Sorry to any experts if I'm muddying the waters with a dumb take!

Could have been the blowoff valve for the turbo! Or a shitty muffler delete on a nearby Infiniti

He just wants to play commander and "say the line" like the big strong man he thinks he is. Not done having fun after his parade of toys apparently.

It's okay, his "agent AI" told him it was good for him and that he was brilliant for maximizing his body's fuel intake, or some shit.

Best shit I've seen all week.

Pun intended? But I agree. Something like this was inevitably going to happen.

Yeah, that might be better. But then we need a name for people who are genuinely convinced by AI junk, since I think "gobbler" implies a willingness to consume.

Combining yours with the one by @[email protected], we get "Slop gobbler"

 

Let's assume we're not stopped at a traffic signal.

This is only anecdotal, but I heard once that you're not supposed to stop altogether, rather drive at a slower pace so as to let it pass quickly. The person said what was more important is that drivers don't make sudden changes to their behavior. An EMT driver can more safely maneuver if they don't have to predict what any one knucklehead will do the moment they get close.

If this is wrong or needs clarification, please enlighten me!

 

TL;DR: Have a very expensive laptop and want to make sure I can create a partition on two SSDs in RAID 0 without messing up everything.

Hi everyone!

I'm pretty new to Linux and I'd like to get Mint running on my Windows machine. I used Ubuntu way back in maybe 2010 and I didn't really get why it was so great, except for "holy shit look at the kickass desktop cube!" I also use Arch By The Way with my Steam Deck, but that barely counts as "using" Linux.

These days I'm much more privacy- and FOSS-minded (not to mention more tech-savvy and comfortable with the CLI since becoming a web dev) so I'm ready and excited to take it more seriously. I definitely want to keep Windows on here to keep a more reliable option for playing games.

Now to the meat and potatoes: my laptop came with this storage configuration (capture from the product page): From my limited understanding of RAID 0, the two m.2 drives are used as if they're one, with the data being "striped" across them. Would that lead to any issues when I create a primary partition for Mint? Maybe I'm just paranoid, but the last thing I want to do is ruin my laptop.

Here's what Disk Management shows, in case the additional info. is needed:

I would really appreciate any advice y'all can offer!
