Is this a mensa entry test? 😂

Thank a veteran! Who do you think this money is being stolen from?

Martha Stewart went to jail on much less than this. Seize all their assets, and throw as many as you can in jail.

Oh wait, you can't because your Rapist in Chief has put other criminals in charge of things, while firing anyone with a moral compass.

Do either make gaming headphones, though? I think the OP was specific, and I'm not familiar with their product lines.

Are you looking for specifically "Made in the Europe" or European brands? Because Logitech is Swiss, and probably the easiest to find something that works for you.

SteelSeries is also Danish.

But I'm sure neither manufacturers in Europe.

I remember that late night talk shows basically said that they don't have to write comedy during Trump's first term, because everything he was doing was comedy. This second term is far darker, but the lunacy of what's happening on a daily basis makes all comedy and satire writers obsolete!

Even actual news reporting on serious things like "explaining Trump's tariffs", end up being almost unbelievable, like you have to question whether what you're listening to actually happened or not. Take a few minutes to learn about how Trump's team came up with the tariff numbers, and you'll think that you're watching a Pixar movie.

At some point, The Onion is going to have to close up shop. Because the absurdity of reality goes way beyond any satire they could dream up.

European alternatives to xbox

Stadia (United States)

Google Stadia was a cloud gaming service operated by Google.

🧐 I like the site, but it needs more vetting.

True story: I was just at presentation for cyclists... there were maybe 30 of us. Every single person, young and old, were trim and healthy looking.

Go to any car show, and let me know if you can say the same. LOL

I don't know if it works in iOS, but I found that Moneymanager EX was by far the easiest to set up.

Basically, you keep the database on your NAS and run the software client on Windows, Android, etc. and just open the file from there.

But I'm considering Firefly III just for the web interface (no software client needed).

Ok, a quick update.

After posting, and a little soul-searching, I decided to install Ubunu and give things another try.

Installation failed the first time, seemingly right at the end! Tried again, and it went through.

Set things up, and things seem to be OK. I'm only running a browser, and needed to try a paid windows program through Wine, which installed and loaded up without any real issues.

I go for a walk during lunch. Come back to the Linux login screen (expected, as I'd assume it locks like Windows). Log in... blank slate. All my work was closed, and it was like a fresh reboot. What the hell??? No error messages or anything. I literally have the browser and like a few other programs installed, so it's not like the system is a mess from years of bad software installations.

Sigh...

Then I try another paid Windows program used to convert video files. It seems to work, but it's not detecting my Intel graphics card. As I look for help on how to do this (officially, from my Laptop vendor), I get pages and pages of things to try... all through the terminal.

I mean, this is stuff that just works on Windows. No messing with stuff.

I really want Linux to be my daily driver, and even I type this from Ubuntu, I can't help but feel like something is going to catastrophically self-destruct at any moment, and that kind of anxiety is never felt while using Windows.

I couldn't imagine setting linux up for my wife, if this is the experience I'm having.
