xkcd #2948: Electric vs Gas
  • Because building non renewable power doesn't have a carbon cost right? And buying a petrol powered car doesn't have a carbon cost, right?

    I'm talking about my commute. The carbon cost of driving to work from my home.

    Don't strawman if you want your argument to be taken seriously - because what I read above translates to Crying neckbeard meme

  • xkcd #2948: Electric vs Gas
  • My job is within 10mi of my home. If I walk there, I get there in 2 hours. If I take public transportation, it takes me 1h45m to 2h20m depending on the day.

    I also live in a community where our electricity is from 90% renewable resources, 10% nuclear. Switching to an electric car is a 100% reduction in carbon usage for my commute. Using the bus isn't.

  • What is your BG3 unpopular opinion?
  • I installed the 16-member party Mod and took all the origin characters (except urge) around for a while. Combat became a chore. Probably the biggest grievance is they'd block each other's movement, but it just took REALLY long to do combat with them all present.

  • Should I use a rolling distro?
  • Sounds like they've stayed much the same.

    There was a time when I enjoyed that kind of effort. Now I have a job in I.T. and a toddler that I want to spend my free time with. When I use my personal/private computer, I just want my software to work and I want to be able to keep it patched with minimal effort.

    In a way I'm glad Slackware has kept to the original ideals. I enjoyed using it from the 3 series through 7 at least. I remember people getting their knickers in a twist when he jumped version numbers. In those days I had a custom kernel that I wove patches into. Big O scheduler, usb support, agpart support, some other stuff I can't remember. I remember wanting low latency because MP3s skipped otherwise.

    It was fun, but back then hacking on Linux kernel patches and building things from source was my hobby. I remember loading Linux into a powermac 4400 because I could, and I used it as my always-on IRC machine.

    Ahhh Slackware.

  • Should I use a rolling distro?
  • Serious question - does Slackware offer any special features that make it more attractive?

    I stopped using Slackware back when Corel Linux released, and when CL died I switched to Debian and never looked back.
