Native English speaker. I started to write up an answer but the more I dig into it the more confused I am.

The subject and predicate need to agree for a sentence to sound normal. “It hadn’t” uses “had not” as the predicate which implies past action and needs a verb to sound normal.

You could say:

It had not installed the tooling.

Or It had not verified that the tooling installed correctly.

In it “It didn’t have” the predicate is “have” so a noun can follow and sound normal.

You could say:

It didn’t have the tooling.

Here is where I’m becoming confused.

Usually you can remove negatives and extra words to clarify grammar. In the sentence “It had the tooling” the predicate is still “had” but it doesn’t imply action so a following noun is fine. Also the sentence “It did have the tooling” is grammatically correct but sounds wordy and would probably be found in a legal document or technical write up. Why does the grammar change when you add a negative? “It hadn’t the tooling” sounds ridiculous but logically it should be fine if “It had the tooling” is fine! This is driving me crazy.

Somebody who paid more attention in English class will have to correct me. I guess we’re just going with " English is weird and it sounds better that way".

Cinnamon is my favorite so I have mint at home. All the computers at my work have Ubuntu (gnome) and it’s ok but I don’t love it.

Don’t pick a distro, pick a desktop environment. Look up KDE Plasma, gnome, cinnamon, xfce, etc. Then pick the largest most stable distro that uses that environment.

Check out Endurance by Alfred Lansing. It’s the story of Shackletons failed antarctic voyage and how he survived. Absolutely amazing story and really well written.

Qbittorrent doesn’t know where the movie came from. You need to go into Radarr or wherever you got the torrent file to find its source and report it

I am the legal target audience. I have a PC that I use at home for most games and a switch that I use for flights and business trips. I buy most games on physical karts because I prefer them to digital and buying used games on eBay is half as expensive as the eShop. Having 3-4 games on a single chip would be much more convenient than carrying several games with me.

Also I bought it in ~2018. In 2018 there were no other good portable game systems at a reasonable price point. There are a lot of good Nintendo exclusive games series out there. Yes there are modern portable systems that can emulate the switch but I’m not going to buy a new system to emulate something I already own.

It seems like this will be able to play modified games too. I would love to try out some custom games on my switch.

The piracy option is also nice but I could almost justify the kart without that.

Mint is Ubuntu based but they also maintain a parallel Debian based Mint (LDME). If Ubuntu died they would just switch focus to LDME.

You can build a dedicated NAS fairly inexpensively. If you have an old computer you don’t use anymore that’s a great starting point. I was able to find a micro optiplex at my local used computer store for $99 and it runs great. I originally had it running on a raspberry pi 3 but was having power management issues and needed something a little more powerful.

I would recommend using Samba for your NAS. It’s a free SMB server that lets you access your data on all operating systems. Other Linux computers can mount samba by adding a line to /etc/fstab. On Windows you just go to file explorer and click map network drive.

The affordability is probably more US centric. Because they are made in the US using mostly US parts they qualify for huge tax rebates. I got mine for about $28k which beats most of the EV market here, and is a fairly good deal even for an ICE car.

Most of the other companies you mentioned don’t sell cars in the US so I can’t make much of a comparison but I’m glad Europe has a better variety of EV options than the US. Seems like more companies are switching to EV every year.

In qbit click on the stalled torrent and look for “last time seen complete” if it says “never” it means the file is dead. None of the seeders have the last bit of the file and the seeders are other people waiting for somebody to complete the file. If this happens just delete and restart from a different source.

Edit: This applies to files that have started downloading then stalled out later. If your download is still at 0% you have a separate issue.

Because they’re pretty great in most ways. They are one of the most energy efficient EVs, they are the most fun to drive of all the EVs I’ve driven (best acceleration and handling), I love not needing keys anymore. I love being able to control my car from the app. Tesla has almost twice as many high speed charging stations as every other charging company combined. They are more affordable than most other EVs. The lane assist is better than any other car on the market. Sure Elon is a dick, but Tesla has some adults in the room making good design decisions. It’s certainly not perfect but it’s a solid choice if you’re looking for an affordable, fun, and efficient car.

Saving

I have a fetch ladle and a coal spoon. My dog lives for fetch but always sets the ball next to my feet. If I’m sitting on the back porch I don’t want to keep bending forward so I have a ladle that’s perfect for scooping up a tennis ball and throwing it. I also have a slotted spoon that I use to grab unburnt coal out of my grill before dumping the ashes. Both of these utensils just hang from my grill.

That’s generally true in the US as well. That’s why people are so outraged by this.
