Emphasize on "should"? Thank you! I've looked this up several times just to have in forgotten when needed. So for me, VIM only, when I have internet access.

Interesting. Even so much that after a 14 hour road trip I read a little more about it.
The first thought was "hearing?" but then I remembered that I heard electricity before, standing next to a transformer.
According to what I read this is something different, though. High voltage is audible due to ionized air in close vicinity, while home appliances can be audible due to AC power shifting magnetic fields and that can make internal components vibrate.
Anecdotally, I believe I have heard close hitting lightnings - just before happening - in my power grid.
Sounds plausible, both. I also like to just chew things.
Didn't read the article, but there was the worry mentioned in the title, that the rodents could have messed with the electrical wiring.
Can anybody explain why mice like wires so much? Do they look like worms to them or do they have a electrocution kink or can they sense electricity somehow or something? Genuinely interested.
I assume that the submarine producer gives stats like empty weight from which the current weight can be calculated.
However, weight isn't the important thing in a sub. It's the weight to volume ratio, or buoyancy.
A sub sinks when buoyancy is negative and rises if the buoyancy is positive.
There are three common ways to achieve the changing buoyancy: the most simple one is a vessel with positive buoyancy adding droppable weights until the buoyancy is negative.
Other ways are a neutral buoyancy vessel that uses it's engine power to push itself up or down. Or a vessel that can change it's buoyancy by filling up tanks with water (to reduce buoyancy below neutral) and blow them out with air or other gases lighter than water (to raise buoyancy above neutral). A combination of several methods is also possible.
Hey, welcome, fellow noob!
I hopped on the Linux train maybe 20 years ago and haven't had any non unix system in maybe 15 years.
Also, I don't know anything much. I can do basic tasks with a Terminal, but I don't think for example I could install Arch from scratch. Or if I'd accidentally opened VIM, I'd have to kill power to get out again. But I like to tinker. If you like to tinker it's a big plus, otherwise things, that don't work instantly, might get frustrating.
As others said, use a pre built distro + DE environment, especially if you don't really know what you do. Another thing that I'd recommend: a distro that be backed up easily. So you can tinker and start over, if necessary.
If I don't know, how to fix a thing, I usually look up my question online. The problem with that is: I'll find solutions containing commands that I don't know, what they do. I have "fixed" my OS to death before, so it's always nice to have a recent backup.
Ubuntu is the biggest, although it's not old-school like win98 and comes with idealistic problems for many people. If you didn't really enjoy it, I wouldn't go back, just because it has the biggest community. Community isn't only about size.
Mint is rock solid, I've run that a long time with different DEs.
Another distro, I can't really recommend (as I haven't used it further than live USB yet), but might be very interesting for you, is MX Linux. It comes with simple DEs and more importantly: a ton of GUI tools (including a back up tool where you can back up the entire OS including apps and settings as a flash USB).
I don't know, if I was able to help anything. I just wanted to reassure, that there are (maybe even many) Linux users that don't really know what they do.
As with many skills in life, I believe, the best way to learn is by just doing it. There will be failures. And each failure is a big opportunity to learn something.
Someone, who ridicules people for some characteristic while they are in the process of improving that characteristic, has understood so little about life.
As always I will keep reading about every year's COP. However, by now my expectation is, that there won't be much, if anything at all, that I need to know about the COP.
Aren't these changes, because there are just have bones to look at, so skin properties etc are a guessing game?
But how did that jaw bone double in length in 2001? Was the skull a missing part until then?
Thank you, I didn't consider that he himself could have politicized sexuality first.
In that case it sounds more like a "rules for thee, but not for me" thing, which makes perfectly sense to point out!
Sorry, I am not from the US. So this guy consumed porn. And what? Relax people!
Might sound weird to prude people, but most politicians had sex before! Some may have kinks! Why do people care about other people's sex life, if they aren't attracted to them?
And what has this to do with a community called politics? I don't get it.
Edit: wow, many replies! Thank you all for educating. If this man is saying people shouldn't consume porn, then yes, you are all right and it's a controversy that makes sense to shine some light on. I didn't think about that.
Why? When you cared back then the frustration must have been at least the same it is now. The hope might have been bigger, but at the same time, you would have been part of a very small minority. And I think it would have been hard to endure that almost nobody you know thinks similarly. You might have been the only doomer they know. And how fast we manage to screw up our planet, you would have likely gotten old enough to come to the same conclusion you came to now: we won't make it.
