that has nothing to do with metric vs imperial:

"Lumber manufacturers typically cut a tree into the various standard types of dimensional lumber very shortly after the tree is felled. At this point, the 2 x 4 is actually 2 inches x 4 inches, a 2 x 10 is actually 2 inches x 10 inches, etc. But then the newly-sawn (but soaking wet) lumber is then kiln-dried until it reaches the desired moisture level. During this process, it shrinks as the moisture in the wood is removed and the wood cells shrink. Once the drying is complete, the boards are then planed to a standard size. Hence, what started out as a 2 x 4 now measures 1 1/2 inches x 3 1/2 inches."

pop!os reportedly packs in and handles the proprietary nvidia drivers for you, which can be a pain to handle yourself. i haven't tried it nor do i have nvidia but i see it highly recommended a lot.

we're not marching towards skynet we're sprinting ffs

bad troll is bad

edit: also

"diy"

"but i couldn't find any diy at the store!"

lmao

it'll never not be too soon

what? no, dude. pots and kettles both being black is exactly the point. it's a saying about hypocrisy. what in the world did you even think the saying meant if you didn't understand it that way?

very convincing and condescending. now everyone reading is wholly swayed in favor of daylight savings. job well done. farmers need it because people who don't want it clearly aren't farmers. brilliant.

name checks out. shitty troll tho. be funnier.

it's jif. every argument for gif is wrong, and it sounds awkward af, like you got swiped by candlejack mid-wor

awesome!

fyi: i used garuda for a few months and while i loved it, i did have some stability problems and couldn't solve it and also found some garuda team on their forums to be fairly rude in some cases so i switched to endeavourOS. it's very very similar to garuda, also arch based, except i've had no stability issues and found their website faq and articles and forum much more helpful and kind to noobs than most distros and i liked that a lot.

this isn't to say don't use garuda or anything but that if you do have issues then endeavourOS is an easy sidestep with also great gaming performance and similarly solid theming.

also if you need to use EA app i recommend installing through heroic games launcher; the lutris script seems fucked for now.

also also look up setting up a single gpu passthrough windows vm and how to hide hypervisor for any games that flat out don't work on proton like fortnite or in my weird case sniper elite v2, and i think also pubg is borked still. some anticheat games are working but sadly some are still being stubborn. this solves that without dual booting or windows getting it's own partition.

yeah i'm sure not voting definitely will change things

oh wait

and before you go on about doing other stuff than voting, you know that voting doesn't keep you from also doing those things? not voting is just bad, no good. you're not giving the state the finger you're laying down and saying 'do with me what you will idc.'

TPU screen protector is what you want and need to search for. it won't be like a sheet you cut yourself it'll still be form fitting for your specific phone but they are cheaper (usually get a pack of 3 or 5) they are floppy and they tear when they wear out they don't crack. protected my phone for years now, unlike the hard glass ones, which always still broke the screen under after a bad drop in my experience.
