I don't care if anyone votes or not, it won't change anything, but a protest vote is better than no vote, in my opinion. Voting for a leftist is a chance to voice your dissent and not remain silent. If Harris loses Michigan because several thousand vote for third party leftists, then our message has been sent.

    Windows is a pain in the ass to work with but at least it warns me before i format the boot sector.

    This really isn't possible to do accidently with user focused distros. I have been using Linux Mint for about 14 years without issue. I suggest Linux Mint to everyone. One can install steam if you want to game, many games work seamlessly, also emulators, lutris, wine, etc.

    I've never ran into an issue I couldn't solve with google and a few minutes of following a tutorial. Also, Linux Mint has the best back-up tool, called timeshift. You let it create back-ups automatically, or do your own manual back-ups, and no matter what you do, you can easily revert back to that back-up with no consequences--Sometimes, if you really bork up your system, you'd need to boot from the USB drive to run timeshift to fix the computer, but again, very easy to google and execute.

    I suggest downloading linux mint to a USB drive, and then running it from the USB drive for a bit to see what it is like. I prefer the cinammon desktop environment.

    Easy to care for plants, like golden porthos, ZZ plants, etc. Or, even tasteful fake plants for those no light areas like bathrooms without windows.

    I second buying thrift store art, keep in mind, you might buy a few that you end up not showing/displaying, ok to redonate.

    Also, two huge things to help keep your place neat is to make sure every item has a home, and more cabinet/covered storage is good, for example, buy furniture that has drawers, like beside tables, coffee tables with drawers, couch side tables with drawers, etc.

    I have large magnet marker board on my fridge that I use all the time, you could also get a nice wall corkboard, or even paint a wall with "black slate" paint so that you can write on it with chalk. Also good to have a filebox with hanging folders and use it to keep papers organized, and have a system for your mail so it isn't sitting around.

    It could be from iron supplementation, if you recently took nutritional iron. Mostly these things are idiopathic. If you have a secondary symptom or it lasts, go to urgent care asap.

    The US is either really fcuking dumb, or they are trying to create China as a enemy by building them up. They tried this shit in the 1930s-1950s with Chinese scientists and ended up driving out the COFOUNDER of JPL, a loyal US scientist, and he became the father of the Chinese Rocket Program.

    They are doing it again.

    Reminder that China only pursued nukes after the US threatened to nuke Fujian province during the second Taiwan straight crises. So I guess the chickens came home to roost once again. Also, down with war mongers. China was first to make the no first use pledge 60 years ago, why won't the US to this day?

    This wasn't an idle threat either by the US, they had Nike Hercules missiles, capable of carrying nuclear warheads, on the island of Taiwan.
