not sure what you mean, but I find that Dells are also cheap (second hand) easy to find, reliable, solid and easy to maintain (like the hardware is easy to access for cleaning and replacing/updating).

edit : I'm using a latitude 5470 with lubuntu. I bought it second in a pawn shop a few years ago and added some RAM last year, it still runs like a charm.

for a lot of people (me included), a cheap second hand thinkpad (or dell pro) with a light distro would be more than enough to cover their computing needs for years.

yeah, it's more about finding open minded people with empathy (and be open minded and empathic ourself) more than finding people just like us. Embracing differences, respecting and understanding eachother is key. There are plenty of people out there who keep their kids to themself and have plenty of other interests, it's easier to meet them if we don't push them away in the first place (just like they don't push us way fro being child free).

it is not such a stretch. according to Oxford dictionary, to throw is :

1.propel (something) with force through the air by a movement of the arm and hand.

which is a very human concept. We then can not judge other species ability to do it (exept primates). just like we can not say animals don't have languages because thay don't speak english.

2.send suddenly into a particular state or condition.

The archer fish is then very efficient at sending water into a particular state or condition with high accuracy.

the octopus for exemple has been observed throwing stuff around.

edit : elephants do it to. and you can find plenty of bird examples.

do not copy paste commands you do not uderstand from shady forums in hope it will solve your problem :)

the archerfish can accurately spit jets of water to hunt inscects ... I'm sure there are much more examples of other species accurately throwing things around. we're not that special ...

nor freedivers ever accept air from a scuba diver.

thanks for the clarification ! that clear it up :) I'm pretty sure I've seen it advertised several times, but I can't find the actual claim anymore .... I hope I haven't made this up somehow, otherwise I apologize for the misinformation :/ (I'll keep looking).

thanks ! that is usually what I do. Someone offered me a sketch book made of stone paper (it's actually quite nice to draw on), so I was wondering what to think of it.

If you don't wana hear people saying "Fuck cars" then just don't come to a place called "FuckCars", no one's forcing you ... weird ...

night shifts would be harmful anyhow (edit : it fucks up your sleep cycle as well as your social life)

that's the bloody truth right here !

Yeah, Apparently.

All I read is "I feel attacked, stop tellimg me I can change, It's the government fault if I drive a massive SUV everywhere, [sobbing], I'm not gonna change shit though, [sobbing] I'm a victim" or "I don't like cars but I mean ..".

Just bloody whinings.

you're actually the only one answering the question hahaha, thanks, that makes sens !

what fucking mouvement, lol ? This is a discussion thread .....

indeed, "movement" haha. let me know if you find it :)

You will aways find exceptions (like emergency and medical sercices, transporting people who cannot walk or bike, transporting goods ...) that's why I said "most of the time". A park ranger (edit : I meant " could use") use a car for her/his duties and go back home to her/his personal business with public transport. Most situations could be handled without a car, and the few left could be handled with much smaller vehicles (and should be looked at to minimize the use of car to a maximum. I'm sure a ranger could do some of her/his job riding a dirtbike)

If you are somewhere for work then you're probably not on your own and your employer could offer some form of common transportation so you don't rely on your own car (and foundings) to get your task done.

that's allright :) thank's for doing the Mod, it's not a rewarding job.
