Friday nerdity- a 20 minute guided tour of installing Pop_OS! 24.
I did this install on a virtual machine. You can do the same if you want to experiment, or burn the ISO to a USB stick and install to your SSD.
Back up Windows if you decide to erase it.
Caveat emptor.
So in fifteen years, he'll be middle aged, having lived a pauper's existence, without a family or children, and will be on a great trajectory to retire and die alone.
Sounds like Hell.
There’s a 27 year old right now earning $85,000 a year.
Drives a seven year old car. Splits rent with a roommate. Invests $2,200 every month. Never talks about money online.
Most people assume they’re struggling to keep up.
What nobody sees is that in 15 years they’ll likely have over $700,000 quietly compounding in the background while their friends are still making payments on cars, vacations, and lifestyles they can’t actually afford.
No flashy purchases. No validation from strangers.
Just patience, discipline, and time.
That 27 year old is already ahead.
Agree or disagree?
. @BarackObama needs to get more than a grand jury subpoena, he needs to be tried with grand conspiracy to commit treason against the United States of America!
Enough is enough!!!
@realDonaldTrump
It's culture, not race.
Race's correlation coefficient (r) is like r=.85 for this kind of behavior, but culture is more like r=.97
Race does correlate, sure, but culture correlates much better.
They broke his bones, gouged his eyes out, cut out his tongue and castrated him. He died of a heart attack after being set on fire and dragged himself 50 meters across the floor.
@ExtremeCen80240@ChiefEngineerCE GG and Silents. I knew a retired guy in my old neighborhood in San Diego that was an engineer for Caltrans and designed parts of the freeway system in CA.
I am on this stupid app everyday talking about how we need to change the direction of the country, boosting people like Chief who bring real data about what has happened, and pressuring politicians about changing policy.
If you don't understand how things have changed because what we have been doing for the last year and a half, look at where the discussion was around immigration in December 2024 and where it is now.
Thom Tillis is done. John Cornyn is done. Mitch McConnell is done.
One by one, we're going to end the careers of anyone standing in the way of taking the country back for the American people.
The middle-management ladder is being pulled up.
For years workers were told:
Grind.
Manage.
Climb.
Now Meta is saying: actually, that rung is gone.
What exactly are ambitious workers supposed to believe now?
🔥🤣 WOW… DANA BASH REALLY JUST SAID THIS ON CNN:
“Republican votes tend to be counted CULTURALLY first. Then once the votes that are there legally it looks different.” -
“It is not unusual for California. It is NOT a sign of fraud. President Trump is using the slow pace to sow misinformation about election integrity.” - Bash
So why from the 60’s to 90’s/ 2000’s Cali have results within 24-48 hours?
This slow counting only became normal in the 2000s after California made permanent mail-in voting easy. CA became the most populous state in 1962 & still results came in on election night.
Only now is the high population their excuse?
I’m SO glad CNN is taking the time to remind everyone that NO election fraud is happening in California… and President Trump is just spreading misinformation again.
What does “Counted culturally first” mean?
@endoftimeagain@ChiefEngineerCE And now it's time for everyone to stop making excuses, put on their big boy and big girl pants, and do something about it.
If you are not doing something to change the direction of the country, you are part of the problem. That goes for any American over 18.
OMG the whining from Boomers.
If you are over 18 and you are not actively working to change the direction of the country, you are part of the problem.
Even you, Gen Z.
Get in the faces of politicians and business leaders who are selling you out.
"The politicians did what they wanted anyway."
"We built the interstate system, the power grid, the early internet backbone, the satellite networks, and much of the physical world you live in today."
Sorry Boomers, either you own it all or you own none of it. Do you have agency or are you victims?
I have talked quite a bit about how Gen X (Chief's & my gen)bears a big chunk of the responsibility for allowing the offshoring of jobs in the tech industry since that's been our gig.
And WTF do you think we're doing on this stupid app all day pressuring politicians to change course?
In order to inflate asset prices, you have to lower inflation.
The way the Epsteins lower inflation is by destroying the labor market.
The way you destroy the labor market is two people working households, mass immigration and outsourcing.
