2025-01-06 at 8:44 PM UTC in Turning an ugly 50s bungalow into a swanFound this in the next town over. Fake shutters removed and siding that demarcates the garage area. Metal roof.
One of my neighbors put brick on the bottom of his house.
I wish he had asked me. I would have done it like this.

Originally posted by Kafka I can't tell if you're really that crazed. This is Putin's war on the west and Elon's class war. He wants Europe to fall because our social security and national healthcare works and he doesn't want Americans to have an example to follow. You're less likely to rebel if the rest of the world is a shithole like America.
Gibberish.
The EMP pulses will come in the Spring otherwise you would starve and freeze. You trucks (or lollies, as you say), farm equipment and furnaces (or bowlers, as you say) will not work. -
2025-01-06 at 5:30 PM UTC in Elon wants the US to invade the UKOnly a Nationalist America can save the West. We need to annex Canada and impose order on Oz, NZ, GB & Ireland. Put Europe under German rightist rule with English as the official language. A few nuke EMP pulses should do it.

Originally posted by Dirtbag Ewwww you have X and the daily mail installed.
They're just Chrome shortcuts. Zorin stores them in Start/Other. You can add them to the taskbar or desktop from there.
I check the DM when I first get up (computer set to Suspend so I don't have to put in my password). They cover US news better than our scumbag media and are fast.
X has gotten boring. It's all Nazis so I have no one to argue with. It was fun when they were moving to TX just before the election and the Dems hijacked the algorithm. It was all pro Kammy stuff. -

Originally posted by Aspergian I wouldn't have a T.V in the bedroom, would have a window there instead but if that's not possible can the ceiling of the bedroom be a window?
I'd probably put a computer there. Use a 32" (or larger) 4K TV as a monitor.
There are solar panels (optional) on the other side of the wall. -

Originally posted by Aspergian It's a good try. The yellow thing doesn't look like it would offer much shade, a fabric canopy which extends further would be nice so you can sit outside when it's raining. The bedroom bugs me because the bed is in the corner, not centred, and because you can't see out windows from your bed. You can use curtains for privacy. I'm not sure about the toilet being right next to the bathtub but idk where else you could put it. I wouldn't have the kitchen take up so much space. In the living room I wouldn't have that little window next to the sofa, who is going to crane their neck that way? The living room should be bigger. Where's the space for a bookcase?
A 4' overhang or trellis is ideal for south facing windows. Blocks all the summer sun and lets in all the winter sun. If you want more shade on the deck, plant a tree or get an umbrella.
The bedroom is only 9'x11'. Best to put the queen size bed in the comer and leave 4' for dressing. Let the more nimble person sleep next to the wall (which some people like).
People often make the mistake of creating window views for people in bed. It's usually dark or you are asleep. Better to have views for people who are awake dressing or at the desk. I like using 3'x6' double hung windows in modern architecture. They are cheap and let you see the ground and sky. They open at the top and bottom so create ventilation even if the are they only window in a small bedroom.
The people sitting on the sofa have views out of two 6' sliding doors.
It's normal to have the toilet next to the tub in a small bathroom. Or even in a medium sized one.
BTW, I would put recessed coat hooks in the hall.

2025-01-04 at 7:40 PM UTC in Just to walk the dog around the blockMy ensemble:
Sweat pance with windproof warm-up pance over top
Sweat shirt, sweater, hoodie, windproof raincoat
Wool sox
Winter hiking boots
Thinsulate gloves
Scarf I can breath thru
Wrap around sunglasses
I tried a ski mask but a scarf works better because you breath warm air near your face. Does not fog up my glasses.
Fit over glasses.

There is no way negros could live in this climate sans gimmedats. Or Mexicans, for that matter.
Whites seems to thrive on horrible weather. Nothing makes them happier than a blizzard or heat wave. -
2025-01-04 at 3:36 PM UTC in Anyone else using Linux?Helps if you have family or friends who use your computers. Most people don't want to become Linux hobbyists. They just want to use Chrome, edit some photos, play a couple of games, write a letter or go on Zoom. Some cheery wallpaper is always nice.
It's fun trying to figure out the most user friendly configuration for Linux. Here's what I do to Zorin:
*Chrome (deb file)
*Tweaks
*Extension Manager
*Pinta
*Deluge
*Input Remapper (deb file)
*Boxes
*Timeshift
*Plex server
*Blur My Shell extension
*Weather O'Clock extension
*Panel Scroll extension
*Gnome Clipboard extension
*Shutdown Timer extension
*Enlarge fonts in Tweaks to 1.10
*Swap Caps Lock and Esc in Tweaks
*Move Super key to Win-R in Tweaks
*Swap Ctrl-R and Win-R in Tweaks (If no Win-R key)
*Turn off Attach Modal Dialogues in Tweaks
*Enlarge Cursor to medium
*Install nautilus-admin
*Turn on Sound Keys
*Turn off auto screen lock
*Turn off auto login
*Open firewall ports for Zorin Connect and Plex
*Set clock to AM/PM and add day of week
*Reload my wallpapers from Google Drive
*Make Chrome website shortcuts
*Rearrange Taskbar
I keep this list for new installs. -

2025-01-04 at 12:33 AM UTC in what's the last thing you bought?Winter gloves for $10 (now $9, might get another pair). Has Thinsulate.

I'm always losings gloves so I put my phone number in the pockets.
Protip: Instead of cutting the strap off (not needed unless you are a skier), I just moved it around to the other side. -
2025-01-03 at 8:03 PM UTC in Anyone else using Linux?Tried Debian and pretty much everything else. Nothing respects dark mode like Zorin tho.
I set up Zorin Core to look like Win11 (but with the tray on the far left). Also stayed with Chrome, which works exactly the same. My family members don't notice the diff.
I highly recommend Pinta for light photo editing. Easy to figure out. Most people are fine with Google Docs or free Office 365. Not a gamer but I guess gaming has gotten pretty good. -
2025-01-03 at 7 PM UTC in Anyone else using Linux?I switched to Zorin Core a couple of years ago when I saw the way Windows was going.
Tried a bunch of distros on Ventoy but see no reason to hop. Most are ugly.
I run old quad core biz desktops that I get for $50 and add a $20 SSD and 27" monitor for $90. -

Originally posted by POLECAT go to speed test and do a speed test let me know your speeds please. I'm trying to figure out if I have bad speed or ok speed
1Gig up/down for $50. We just got fiber here. Because I signed up in the first month, they're giving me that instead of a half gig. Don't really need it. -
2025-01-01 at 5:03 PM UTC in What do you think of my 'park model' trailer design?Park models have to be under 400sf and are classified as RVs so you pay no property tax. Good luck finding land to put it on cuz most localities won't let you live in an RV. You'd probably have to rent a section of someone's larger property or put it in an RV park. Tiny homes have the same problem. More sensible to just go with a trailer even if you don't need the room. Lots of rural areas are zoned for them.

2024-12-28 at 2:32 PM UTC in Seems like WWIII is back on againI've been hearing this shit my whole life and I'm old. It's time to move Israel. I suggest New Britain, an island twice the size of Israel off New Guinea. Half a million primitive people live there. Pay each one $1MM to move to the mainland. That's $500B. Cheap compared to our usual $2T war for them. No hurricanes cuz it's near the equator. Does have volcanoes tho.
