You make good points. I've worked on a couple cars before but bikes require much less space, time and money.

Also, just keep in mind the process of making batteries for electric cars. Lithium mines are by no means clean and cause lots of deforestation.

Personally I'm really hoping we see a bigger uptick in Hydrogen powered vehicles, seeing as in theory, any gasoline car can be converted, plus our current repair facilities and methods will mostly carry over. It makes a lot more sense to me to adapt what we have than to uproot and start over from scratch.

I'm blanking on specifics but I know I've seen a few examples of "dark web" criminals being narrowed in on by means of analyzing their writing styles and comparing them to other accounts. I want to say this played into Robert Ulbricht (the main guy behind the original Silk Road) being arrested

Same here with my 84 KZ550. I just started work on a partial rebuild after it had sat for 2 years. I've learned a tremendous amount about engines, suspension, electrical, etc, and had tons of fun doing it (and of course also had many cursing fits).

I definitely could have gotten a different bike for the amount I've put into it, one that I actually could have ridden from day one, but this one is my bike. Practically every bolt has been looked over by me, I can't say that about basically anything else I own.

I've looked into multiple modded camera apps and was disappointed with all options.

OpenCamera is the best alternate camera app I've tried so far. This is just my 2 cents.

Out of the box experience is valuable though. No every user wants to tinker for an afternoon to make a system suit their needs. Some want to install and go, nothing wrong with that.

Bethesda had absolutely nothing to do with "ruining skyrim mods". Bethesda built the game for Windows, not Linux, it's not their fault the game has issues running mods on a platform it wasn't intended to run on. This is like saying "fuck toyota" because your gasoline car won't run on diesel.

As an aside, you absolutely can mod Skyrim on Linux, with USSEP and SKSE. With one quick google search I found multiple guides.

Succumb to your temptations... skip dual booting and vms... nuke your Windows partition with Gentoo... you know you want to

Honestly, take away the PR blunders, bloatware, privacy nightmares, and ads, and I really just dislike how Windows works.

The file structure is the main one that really made me feel like Roddy Piper putting on the glasses. I was perfectly happy shambling around between Program Files this and LocalAppData that. As soon as I understood how logical and elegant the file structures that Linux uses is, there's no way I could ever go back.

Also, things like Settings, Device Manager, Control panel, and 2 or 3 other separate GUIs all containing A, the same settings 6 times over, or B, all containing different settings that should be consolidated. It's almost as if Microsoft can't stick with a design language or feature scope to save their lives, but they also can't get away with completely removing these old GUIs, so they just bury them and add another on top.

However, I can't say I actually hate Windows. I cut my teeth in computing on XP, and I see XPs DNA all over modern Windows (the aforementioned Control Panel being a remnant). I think without all the added garbage, Windows is actually an incredibly powerful, albiet obtuse and frustrating, piece of software.

What kind of company needs this much information to close an account?

Never been on a keto diet or needed a product like this, but I know which company I would never buy from if I did.

Main desktop runs Arch but everything else runs Debian. It's the perfect "install and forget" system so long as you don't need the absolute bleeding edge packages.
