I recently did the same. Had an opportunity to buy a laptop at a good price, and I immediately swapped the m.2 drive with a blank for Linux Mint. There’s definitely been a learning curve and a lot of web searching for tweaks and fixes, but the overall user experience has been great. I’ll very likely be swapping to Linux on my desktop soon.

“Republican controlled” doesn’t mean they’re all Republican. It means they have a majority. 535 votes in favor essentially means unanimous support.

Well, as they say: when in Rome, do the Romans

If the GME/AMC story taught me anything, the price of a stock doesn’t necessarily reflect the value of the company. It’s just what people are willing to buy/sell the stock for.

Well, the concert every week thing is an issue regarding ticket inflation caused by Ticketmaster and their subsidiaries; but I digress.

As for raising a kid, yeah, they’re expensive and everything is pretty shit now. I’m sure most people that want to raise a kid in a good environment want to have a home first (I know I did), and that’s effectively impossible right now.

I recommend using a tool to scramble all of your comments, waiting a while, and then deleting. Check back every few days to verify deletion before ultimately closing your account. For some reason, if a subreddit is hidden or closed, you can delete your messages from there until it’s reopened.

I spent about 2 weeks deleting my accounts from reddit during the mobile app exodus.

Sure, let’s ignore all the other studies in the past about this and do it again. /s

I’m not a fan of Meta, but all of my international family rely heavily on WhatsApp.

It also seems that Signal supports VoIP calling, but I have not tried it.

Right at the start of tornado season. Wonderful.

One month after being elected Chancellor, Hitler began replacing police leadership with members that aligned with Nazi ideals.

It’s so much easier to cook omelettes on the griddle, too.

Just avoid hamburgers and bacon. Way too much grease.

I’ve been considering a similar setup for overlanding. I just need to set it up in a way that the whole kit is removable, but I can still strap it down to the tie down points in my 4Runner.

Sounds like it’s time for a new pharmacy.

When using youtube, that’s a break every 5 minutes. More frequent if the videos are shorter.

Memes aside, I love my M3k. After the break-in period, I haven’t had a single issue; even with birdshot.

I hope all goes well for you. I’ve been working on German dual citizenship, myself.

I’ve worked on several fleets of cargo aircraft that are mostly comprised of PAX to cargo conversions or dedicated freighters. When they exceed their airframe hours for passenger service, they go to cargo to live out the rest of their lives. I’ve worked on multiple fleets that were built in the 70’s. B767-200’s, A300’s, and DC-10’s. The DC(MD)-10’s on my current fleet are all retired now due to economic reasons, but the airframes are still absolutely solid. The A300’s are still flying but are steadily being retired due to Airbus not approving major repairs for issues related to the age of the aircraft. All of the A310’s at my company have already been retired due to Airbus dropping aging fleet support. The B767-200’s will keep flying for a long time because Boeing has a very extensive aging fleet program. The only limit for the B767’s longevity is the owner’s wallet. With that being the case, the retired A300’s and MD-10’s at my company are being replaced with factory-new B767-300’s and B777-300’s.

Also, the B757’s I’ve worked on will last just as long as the 767’s. The oldest ones I worked on had over 150,000 flight hours and were factory freighters. The company that owned them finally retired them at 200,000 flight hours. They were still airworthy, but they were becoming pretty expensive to maintain and the owner replaced them with slightly newer but less used 757-200F’s and 767-300’s. The 767’s were freshly retired from PAX service (got the IAI P2F conversion), and the 757’s were from another freighter line.

I don’t have any links. I’m actively working in the industry on the maintenance side of widebody aircraft, currently for a company that owns over 400 aircraft. I’ve worked on several fleets and airframes beforehand for a MRO doing similar work.

Airbus has it’s own set of issues and maintenance problems. They just haven’t been newsworthy. I will hand it to them, they’ve consistently improved the maintainability of their aircraft over time, however they have no interest in improving longevity. Boeing has an extensive aging fleet plan and support. Airbus just says “buy a new airplane”.

Boeing doesn’t reward their auditors (called QA Inspectors in aviation). They’ve been cutting down their numbers and replacing them with much less experienced people at much lower pay for many years.
