I am pretty sure it is just shitty craft-store gold paint. My family and I were in DC for a short visit a couple months ago and I could see gold coloring on light fixtures and other places which seemed so out of place, I am certain some boot-licking cretin in the National Parks dept arranged to have it applied to appeal to our Dear Leader. But yeah, I am thinking we will need a giant roll-away dumpster at the White House to handle the clean-up when he is finally gone.
dotard /dō′tərd/ noun
Looks like a toddler who is actively shitting his diaper (probably is). Best part is he was recently talking a bunch of shit about Spain and now they won “his” world cup.
I eat a lot of blueberries and purchase them year round and I definitely have experienced exactly what you are referring to with BBs from Peru. They tend to be larger and look good in the package but have almost zero taste and the texture tends to be soft. The ones from Chile aren’t much better so I suppose the logistics in getting them all the way to grocery stores in the US means they get picked early and have a fair bit of time in transit to dry out and soften up. I am always really happy to see containers that indicate the blueberries are picked in Canada or Michigan since those seem to have the best taste and texture. Unfortunately it will be a little while before that harvest is ready and if you ever have a chance, definitely try and locate an orchard in your area and pick them yourself; if you like blueberries even a little bit, that experience is worth the drive.
I was thinking the same thing about Fedora since I have installed it on two purpose built gaming PCs using new or last gen hardware and a very old Dell Inspiron laptop and the experience has been very good outside of a couple minor issues like installing the WiFi driver on the Dell.
One of the best things I have found with Linux is the live-disk distro testing option since you can test how much you like the interface and execution of each OS+DE and how well they behave with your hardware situation without having to reformat anything first. Personally, since my goal was to move as far from the windows experience as possible, I opted for Fedora Workstation since I also tested the KDE version and I just didn’t like it at all. GNOME seems to have its detractors (and for valid reasons) but after using Apple computers and Ubuntu a long time ago, I just preferred the intuitive layout and clean desktop experience. Using Windows11 at work is horrendous and I look forward to being back on my own machine every evening.
Another thing to consider is X11 vs Wayland since that ended up being what made me give up on Mint when my new hardware refused to run without persistent and horrendous screen tearing in 3D games. X11 just didn’t work for me and everything I tried to tweak was either not helpful or would leave me in an un-bootable condition that required recovery via rollbacks or terminal commands using the live-USB.
Did I mention that I also got my kid on the Linux train? He is using Fedora Workstation and loves it compared to his old Win10 laptop and the POS Chromebook the school district gave him. In any case, as a Microsoft refugee I think Linux is a wonderful and viable alternative and while there may be some bumps along the way, the community is very helpful and you can often find solutions or you can just ask.
What you have to remember is MAGA only “supports the troops” who are boot lickers or kiss the ring of the draft dodger in chief.
Anyone who steps out of line or makes a valid point to challenge what they see as wrong is summarily drummed out or fired. So if something doesn’t change soon, we will have nothing but emasculated yes-men running our military (since I think all of the women in command are probably gone now). Having said that, this is indeed promising news and I hope she can make a difference.
