Oh I’ve actually been told by fat people that there’s no way that I actually enjoy working out and that I’m forcing myself to go to the gym while not enjoying it.

Guess it’s weird I like improving my physique and enjoying seeing how I can reach new goals ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I have Linux on my laptop but I have a Windows gaming PC and I’m honestly trying to figure out how could you not get steam to start? Never had an issue with that before…

This is actually pretty cool. Feels like I never left reddit now haha.

You’re right and I get it. When I was younger I use to think I needed to switch multiple lanes to pass cars to get to my destination faster.

I didn’t drive aggressively and cut people off, but I noticed most of the time you maybe only save a minute or two on your trip, so honestly it’s not even worth it.

Now I’m just fine with cruising, going the speed limit, and reaching my destination safely. It’s much more relaxing.

Sigh I miss using the train when I lived in Japan.

So true. These people damn near cause accidents just to rush to the next red light. I just don’t understand the amount of aggressive drivers on the road.

You’ll wish you would have taken your time once you find yourself in an accident and hopefully it didn’t cause the life of another person.

You have to turn on horizontal swipe for next post in settings first. Then after that just view a post and swipe from right to left on the topic and it should go to the next post

If your on Android the connect for Lemmy app allows this. Though it is in experimental mode right now but it works well for me

Depends on the exercise. My favorites are heavy squat and deadlifts. It’s just a good feeling increasing the weight every week and hitting new maxes while getting stronger.

I suck at bench so I’m never looking forward to that, but I’ve set goals to hit by the end of the year so I’m sticking to it.

Honestly now, I feel terrible when I don’t workout and it really affects my mental state.

Same here. I’m not going to lie, I’m still a little afraid when I see his face now as well. I think I’ll always be afraid of Chucky.

Chucky 🔪

You’re right! How could I forget about the oil companies?

How ever would they make even MORE money now at the expense of Americans having better public transportation?!?

Ok CNN. I’ll follow your lead and start using public transportation.

That just involves me leaving my house at 4am and driving 9 minutes to the local bus stop, then take a bus ride for 37 min, transfer from there to another bus for another 19 min ride, transfer to another bus and ride for an hour, then either call an Uber for a 3 min ride or I can walk for 30 minutes to reach my workplace.

Or… I can just drive and reach my workplace in 40min.

I would love to use public transportation, and when I lived in Japan that’s all I ever used, which I much preferred to a car.

America first needs to get serious about establishing actual reliable and accessible transportation in order for more people to use it.

I just opened the Apollo app again yesterday and didn’t realize there was a goodbye song as well. Hit me in the feels again 😩

Thanks for the information! I ended up going with a t480 and installed Pop! OS on it. I"m enjoying it so far!

Thanks for the information! I tried installing Linux on my Mac but I was getting partition errors (bought my 2015 Mac used) and after troubleshooting for a couple hours I decided to just go out and buy the t480. I got Pop! OS running on it smoothly and I"m enjoying it so far!

I ended up going with the t480 and I recently installed Pop! OS on it!

Thanks for the information! I ended up going with a t480

Wow! Thank you for the detailed information. I had some issues trying to install Linux on my Mac so I ended up buying a t480 and I installed Pop! OS on it. Everything at the moment is running smoothly and I’m currently still setting up programs on it that I believe I will be using in my cyber security journey. Thanks again for the detailed explanation, I have a lot to learn!

Thanks again for the advice! Going to install mint on my Mac and go from there!

Thanks for the detailed response! I think I’ll take the advice that some others and that you’ve mentioned also. I have an extra USB drive laying around so I’m going to try and install Linux and run it through a VM on my Mac first. If all runs well, then great! If not, I’ll look into the Thinkpad.

I actually am unsure of what numbers 2,4, and 5 mean in your response. I’m coming from a non-tech field, but have a huge interest and am trying to build up my knowledge on all of the technical terms especially when it comes to Linux.

Thanks again!
