Of course, if you go out of town and come back, you forfeit all your progress and have to start over at level 1.

I don’t think that’s universally true. Back when my partner had recently moved in with me, we found one of those pet spas to leave their cat at as we had to go out of town (terrible idea, in retrospect, and current me would say it would’ve been better for her to just have had someone come by the house to periodically check on her but not the point of this story).

Due to scheduling of when we got back, my partner stayed home while I went to pick up the cat; as soon as I got there, she came out the room crying and I thought she was coming to greet me but she sped past me and went around the outside room, still crying, and searching.

There is nothing on Earth that will convince me that she wasn’t determinedly looking for my partner. That cat loves them and, while she expresses affection in the sort of stereotypical cat way (unlike our boy who has designated times, every day, he comes over to be fawned over), she would be devastated to lose my partner (or me, at this point, I like to think). She likes her space and for there to be a certain level of protocol followed when it comes to interaction but there’s no doubt in my mind that she’s very ingrained-ly attached.

To be fair, he also made the Cow Tools one which most people didn’t get his reasoning for, either.

When you drive a car, you don’t suddenly feel like you have wheels.

Not the kinda cars I drive, man.

had wheels

a bicycle

I suspect that your qualifications for what constitutes a bicycle are a tad short…

Nah; I just made a typo. Thanks for catching that and I’ve fixed the title to be accurate.

All octopodes are good octopodes.

Not terribly though (as with any more niche project) there are always pockets where this is the case.

I remember needing to verify that Guix had everything I needed or I was able to get said things, in some way, before switching (including things like the full Linux kernel and not just Linux Libre); I was able for, basically, 99% of everything. I still ended up having to package a few bits of software myself (you can look up Guix packages at https://packages.guix.gnu.org/).

That said, – while I occasionally run across a package I was curious about but hasn’t been packaged, yet – all my necessary stuff are pretty much there. And, while I’ve never used Nix, a novel experience (for me), when I switched to Guix, was being able to actually package stuff myself; there’s modules which package build systems (e.g. C, Rust, Python, Meson, Java, etc.) which take a lot of the knowledge out from you being responsible for. Again, can’t compare against Nix but it sounds similar to what you’re describing. And there are predefined services to use packages with the Shepherd service manager (since Guix doesn’t use systemd); I, likewise, find them helpful.

I dunno if all this info.'s useful but feel free to ask me any further question (if you want); I do really love the OS so I’m always happy to help others at least try it out, even if it isn’t for them (in the end).

(not that I actually use it for anything…)

If you wanted to change that and were looking to tinker, you should check out the Guix distro; I switched largely for the chance to use Guile Scheme even more than I already was.

Well, – you see – a colon can never follow quotation marks, in traditional typography: only ever two hyphens~

I expect you are to give your banking information directly to the peddler, over E-mail.

You will certainly not regret giving out your banking information directly over E-mail.

That movie is so good, regardless expectations. One of my absolute favorites.

Totally fair; thanks for just mentioning them. First I’ve heard of them, even.

Huh; are they more a commercial product or generally covered by eye insurance?

I don’t have it on have but some theorize it’s to recreate the endorphin rush they get when you play with them and it’s momentarily out of sight. Having to find it is part of the fun; of course, they’re unable to find it, now…

Dunno how universally that’s held but I did read it, one time.

Void, yes; absolute perfection.

To be fair, I’m also stateside and, while I knew enough to know not to do it with abandon, I’ve torrented without a VPN at least a handful of times and never got anything from my ISPs in two decades.
