Merry Christmas. Rejoice, our Lord has been made flesh.

Thank God for everything I have, and I pray that each of you are blessed.

Confessions of an Economic Hit Man

Book by John Perkins

I ended up having a similar issue with Mint, where I couldn't get the PC to wake up after it slept/locked from being idle. Found the solution here: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?p=2103191#p2103191

Appears to be an issue with Nvidia graphics cards. You need an extra command in one of the default files.

That's fixed my issue. I assume it was also the culprit for Pop!_Os.

Today, I almost bricked my PC.

Installed Pop!_Os, an Ubuntu based #Linux distro from my #Ventoy flash drive. I noticed a long boot time after the PC was shut off. The following boot was running nearly ten minutes, so I restarted the PC. This occured several times. I then decided to check the BIOS and hit 'F12' during the startup screen.

Boy did that not give me the result I was looking for. Instead the screen went black and appeared to provide a console, where "^[[24~" would appear anytime I hit F12. This happened repeatedly, until I accidentally got back to the Pop!_Os login screen. I was able to then boot to the BIOS on the next restart.

Thinking I should do a fresh install of Pop!_Os, I Disabled all other boot options in the BIOS except the file I thought was for Ventoy.

I was wrong.

It was not the Ventoy boot file.

I then got a screen that told me, "Boot failure on device." With the only option being a button that said, "Shut down."

This was the only screen I could get.

I took my Ventoy flash drive and checked it on a second PC...unreadable. Great.

Some research on the internet recommended removing the battery on my motherboard. Doing so messed up the PC's clock, which gave me the option to modify the BIOS. Thank Yahweh.

Created a new Ventoy flash drive on the secondary PC. Used that with Linux Mint to reinstall and OS to my primary PC.

So, that's how I ended up with #LinuxMint. The whole ordeal lasted about four hours, and had me severely concerned I'd bricked my main boot drive and motherboard.

All good now, with Mint being quick to boot and successfully surviving multiple test reboots.

I actually just got a flash drive and put Ventoy on it earlier today. Spun it up with one OS to check (Linux Mint, Cinnamon), and it worked. I'm going to toy with more images this weekend. Thanks for the recommendation, that was extremely helpful!

The GWP is larger than I pictured in my brain. May the force be with you, or live long and prosper.

Epic. The shirt did not shrink, by the way. I fit it over my GM/PV sweatshirt - which was the style at the time.

A prime example is nostr:nprofile1qqs2zqnq524z7zfdsh3vpwpwjh4vt7xxp6sec68y3xr3ndvve23ru0spzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszynhwden5te0dehhxarjw4jjucm0d5hsgheky9. Bullish lists all products based on the Sat value that Bullish is willing to part with the products. https://thebullish.shop/products

You don't use the product to value Bitcoin, you use Bitcoin to value the product.

Technically you could measure anything's value in Bitcoin. Typically it is up to the seller. If the seller is not offering to sell a good in Bitcoin, and are only offering it in Fiat, then you have to do the conversion.

If a vendor only lists the Bitcoin price for their goods, the value is determined by how much Bitcoin it'll take for them to part with their product.

It's just a matter of perspective.

What do you measure the value of your Fiat in? Or the value of Gold in? Bitcoin is the only measuring stick that is finite. You are asking a similar question to "If a meter is valued in centimeters, then is a meter valueless without centimeters to measure it?"

Thank you for sharing this snippet of Hank's story.

Thank you. It's mostly the wife's.

Thanks, probably going to try a few of them on a flash drive. Or just watch tutorials for each that have been recommended on this note.

I haven't figured those out yet. I've heard of them, but I'm normally on mobile and use Amethyst.

nostr:nprofile1qqs98t84lhp68wcjlag0hr3ct8gxtw4u0lapfpnrkjhjl4mxw00cwlcpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0xscdx7, thank you for being the wonderful loving wife, and mother, that you are. I don't have to tell you that our time on this Earth is scarce - but I do want you to know that I'm glad I get to spend so much of my time with you. Happy sixth anniversary. I love you.

Just finished another shirt over the weekend. Something about the badgers in orange floaties just spoke to me for some reason...
