This is what happens when we let foreign interests fund our politicians.

Considering that a US hospital will charge you a few grand for even looking in their direction these days, $2,500.22 for something serious, like seizures, sounds like a steal :(

Ideally, it would be the same word over and over, so that we can trick the AI into ending all sentences with the word. Bonus points if it is the word “buffalo”, since it can from a grammatically correct sentence.

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo

Didn’t even have to be the US.

Israel has been known to threaten US politicians with financially backing their political opponents unless their Zionist line is toe’d.

The wisdom is incorrect though, in the sense that you aren’t ‘disposing’ of the oil using this method. You are simply hiding it while simultaneously toxifying your immediate environment.

How they used to get rid of motor oil back in the day.

I made the same switch earlier this year. The only real issues I can recall were learning to update flatpak manually because it holds up the other updates if I don’t do that through the Konsole first.

Granted, that might just be my system, but I generally have had far fewer issues with Tumbleweed than I’ve ever had with Mint.

Oh, and my art tablet gets tagged as a game controller for some reason, but it works for what I need it for so I haven’t bothered to fix it.

I concur. SSBN wouldn’t risk sailing through the canal without shutting the entire canal down just for security reasons.

That’s an SSGN. SSBN, the ones that carry Trident missiles, don’t need, nor want, to be anywhere near the theatre in order to operate.

I’m on OpenSuse Tumbleweed right now.

I got tired of updating version numbers on Mint.

As a side note, just plugged in a years-old random printer/scanner combo my roommate had been trying to find driver’s for, for hours, on his windows machine. It just worked immediately in Linux, didn’t need to download anything. Suck it, printer!

Yeah, those corporate types usually can’t see past their next quarterly earnings report.

The fact remains that this playbook failed rather drastically, earlier this year even, with the D&D Franchise making similar headlines, and it wasn’t even enough to give them pause.

This also could be their original goal, but they tried to pull the “throw it at the wall and see what sticks” and then dialed it back to try and make it not seem as bad.

Like when the justice system adds on a bunch of superfluous charges in order to make their primary ones stick.
