Oh no, you!
Not really, but there are some tricks one can do in a pinch when it’s snowy, such as using the parking brake while doing a wheelspin at full turn.
Other than that, they’re the same. FWD in general has a limited turn radius, since the drive mechanism need to accommodate varying angles, and this becomes rather complex at high angles.
If you really need tight turn radius, a RWD is your best bet. And doing some custom modifications to make it even tighter is relatively simple.
Nothing, AFAIK. Maybe the compound itself has a smell in large quantities, but the pills don’t.
Further improvement requested: Bullpup it

Love Dark Side of the Moon. Best Rush album ever. Plus, James Hetfields vocals on Stairway to Heaven remains unmatched today, 25 years later.
I used to like Bobby Fischer and his contributions to the world, but I lost all respect for him after finding out he also played chess.

You’ve never had to bike over to a friend’s house 8km away to download a modem driver and copy it onto a floppy and bike back home only to realize that the floppy had bad sectors and you had to do it all over again, and it shows.
That’s just the way network hardware has always been, regardless of OS.
Yes, but it’s easy to work around.
Source: I bought a brand new Lenovo Legion autumn 2024, and the GPU needed a very recent nvidia driver, which in turn needed a newer kernel than what was available by default. I had to install a mainline kernel, and download nvidia driver from their site. Took maybe 30 minutes to get it up and running properly.
One can argue that Linux Mint isn’t that up to date. But in my opinion, it’s up to date enough.
It’s new enough that you’re not living in the digital medieval era, and at the same time, any software installed is for the most part mature, well tested, and stable. And I find that more important than bleeding edge versioning.
And on the few occasions where I need something newer than what can be found in the standard repos, there’s always the option of building from git or adding additional sources.
I’ve been a linux user off and on in varying capacity since the 90s, combined with some FreeBSD, but linux was only a secondary OS on my desktop until I made the complete switch once I saw the trajectory of Windows 8.
Mint reminds me of how Windows 7 was designed: Simply a good OS.
Yeah, took me a while to parse the geography. The picture seems to be taken upside down over the south Atlantic.
Spain is visible, south America partially covered by clouds.
Q: What if the servers are some 4U beasts with 36x 3.5" drives each?
A: On top of the UPS, because you don’t get paid enough for the hazard involved in lifting them higher.
Sidenote: More than once, for shorter surveys/projects/setups, I’ve built what we refer to as a doodlebugger-pile. You just stack it on the floor, and secure it with some two-by-fours and screws. Because finding a deep enough rack and manhandling it up multiple decks on a ship is fucking awful. If it’s secure enough to not slide during heavy seas, it’s good enough for seismic.
At least there was no REAL conflict of interest at play, such as peanut farming
Not sure if it’s still in use today, but the above description was 2008 through 2012. Msdos was used for “gun timing”, which basically amounted to extreme precision when it came to opening or shutting some solenoid valves. The computer had a GPS input and a bunch of serial outputs, and a control line (also serial).
The control line sent instructions of which solenoid to open when, a time reference was determined by the GPS, and you can probably guess what the serial outputs were for.
Well aware of it. Used it between the top two rows.
I had a similar matrix of screens at my old job: Seismic survey observer desk. Three rows tall, four columns wide.
They weren’t all connected to the same PC, though; If I remember correctly:
They were all connected to a Raritan KVM switch, so I used that to select which row to control. The exception was on bottom left and bottom right which had a dedicated keyboard and mouse.
I have a picture of it somewhere, but I can’t seem to find it.
Should work, yes. A filename is independent of the file contents, and this includes the extension. You can rename it back and forth as much as you like.
Caveats, presuming you’resending via mail:
Alternatively, upload the file somewhere and send a link instead
Firefox has been rewritten as a Perl/Tk script.
Even I, fluent in both, am appalled at the idea.
