I don’t see an issue with this, things can be an improvement over their previous version and they would be new on release.

Ansible.

I use docker for most of the services and Ansible to configure them. In the future I’ll migrate the server system to NixOS and might slowly migrate my Ansible to NixOS, but for the time being Ansible is working with relative ease.

My main computer at work is Linux, I do have a Windows build box where I compile code for Windows, and to make my life easier I usually develop it there as well. But outside of platform specific code, or code related to a product that’s Windows only, I don’t have any issues.

As for other software Teams, slack, zoom, Google meeting and docs work well enough that I can use them daily without issues.

At a previous job for some reason they wanted me to use Windows, which was absurd since I worked on the backend of a site which would only be deployed to Linux, didn’t last long in that job after that was made official.

In short, as long as my main machine is Linux, I don’t mind having to have a Windows machine to do Windows stuff. But I get annoyed out of my mind if I’m either forced to use Windows as my main OS (it’s just not ergonomic for me), especially if there’s no reason for it.

Back in 2004 a friend was using Linux, I asked that friend to teach me programming, and he said he would only do so on Linux because he didn’t even knew how to compile stuff on windows. So I started dual booting and originally I only used the Linux partition for programming, organically I started to spend more time on Linux than on windows until eventually I only used Windows for gaming.

Over time I had some degree of success with Wine, so some games I would play on Linux, and only use Windows for the ones that didn’t worked. Then around 2011 I discovered Humble Bundle and started to get native games for Linux, and by 2013 when Steam came to Linux I realized I hadn’t rebooted to use Windows in years, so I wiped that partition.

Probably it’s not, probably what happens is that the GPU is throttling and not reaching the same performance, and with less performance comes less heat. Try running a benchmark to see if there’s any significant difference in performance.

Dude, the guitar, not the kid.

My stepson is always playing his guitar, how can I make it disappear?

Sabbath

You seem to think the bible says the Sabbath need not be kept because of the new covenant, however Matthew 5:17-18 contradicts that view, because Jesus says that the law hasn’t changed. Also if you read carefully you will notice that even in some passages where he’s critic of Sabbath, it is directed at the way people do it, and not the act itself.

Neutral person

You’re missreading what you quoted. Regarding Jesus a person can be in one of 3 states, for, against or neutral. Your quote says

For the one who is not against us is for us.

Meaning neutral counts as counts as for, therefore Jesus is not against like you claimed. If you would like to keep arguing he’s against then quote Matthew 12:30 which is the exact opposite, i.e.

He who is not with Me is against Me

Who asked for the Census

You can’t quote something that literally says God told David to number people and claim that’s not what it means. He didn’t tempt, there’s no ambiguity he said “Go number Israel”.

numbers

Again, you’re fidgeting meaning, when someone says the sum is X but I didn’t included Y they mean that the actual number is larger than what he said. You’re shoe fitting an explanation to try to make it fit.

Jesus v Pilates

And yet in John 18:33 he’s very chatty, and always replies.

can God change

And yet, several times in the bible he regrets what he did, which is only possible by a creature capable of change. Regret means that he would do it differently now, so for example in 1 Samuel 15:10-11 when he said he regrets having made Saul King he means he wouldn’t do it now, therefore he has changed.

Also since you quoted something that also tells that Jesus can’t change, then he can’t be tempted nor die, since that requires change. Therefore Satan never had a chance to tempt him in the mountain, which makes it pointless, also he didn’t die when crucified which is a problem to the whole Christianity idea.

Jealousy

Like you quoted God is jealous, but also jealousy is a sin, and God can’t be near sin, so he can’t be near himself. You can’t claim he’s a special kind of jealous, jealousy as a whole is listed as an obvious sin in Galatians 5:20, there’s no “except when Jealousy is based on passion”

Temptation

But also he tests followers, for example Abraham. Those being tested can obey or not, not obeying god is a sin, therefore asking someone to do something they don’t want is tempting them to sin.

Answer me these citing the bible verse you’re using to justify your answer:

• Should we respect the Sabbath? Or in more general terms: Do the old laws still apply?
• If someone is neutral towards Jesus, is he considered for or against him?
• King David was instigated to do a census by a spiritual being, who was it?
• Speaking of the census, how many swordsmen are there?
• Did Jesus argue with Pilates or remained quiet and only replied “you say so”?
• Can God change?
• Is God jealous?
• Does God tempt men?

The Bible contradicts itself in multiple places, so that’s keeping up with the theme.

I literally couldn’t care less whether you like the book or not, I’m expressing my reasoning for not liking the writing, you’re not forced to agree, nor am I saying that’s the reason you didn’t liked it. Chill out man.

I didn’t expect you to justify it, I’m just saying the book is old and took an unconventional approach to storytelling, it is to be expected that that writing style would not go well with everyone.

I mean, I liked it, but it is a weird book, I don’t think everyone will like it, but part of it’s appeal is how nonchalant it is about its weirdness. Not sure if the translations capture it, for example I don’t think the beginning of the book has the same impact in English: “Many years later, in front of the firing squad”, in Spanish that phrase is very weird, it’s the continuation of another phrase, it’s similar to opening a book and the first page starting with something like “of those, the one of his father taking him to see ice was the most cherished”, it makes you pause and look at the previous empty page thinking you’ve missed the actual first page.

But if anyone is thinking on reading it, do so with a pencil and start a family tree, the book covers 100 years of a family where everyone has the same names over and over.

Well, what do you expect from a compilation of letters from a half frozen scientific explorer telling the tale of how he found an almost dead guy who tells him the story of when a monster told him how a family taught a foreigner to speak and read. Of course the writing would suffer, at one point you’re so many layers deep that you have to wonder if Inception took inspiration from it.

It strongly depends on what you want to offend, where the person is from and the gender. Spanish is spoken in many places, and so has many, many variants. For example calling a gay porteño “puto” is just another Tuesday for him, telling it to a very homosexual Spaniard might be the worst insult ever, telling it to a Mexican he might be lost waiting for the actual curse since they use puto as an emphasis, e.g. “puto chingón”.

Also Spanish is a gendered language, I can’t even think of a curse that doesn’t rely on knowing the receiving end gender, since all have masculine and feminine form. With all of that being said, I think the safest bet would be “Hijo/a de puta”, every place I know of uses this curse, and even if one doesn’t it’s very self understanding (unlike chingón, boludo, or gilipollas which are mainly use in their own countries and people from others might not even be fully aware of them)

You just gave me the idea for the best insult ever “volvete a la concha de tu madre, mal parido de mierda, a ver si naces menos choto esta vez”

Dishwasher is supposed to be more abrasive than metal tools because it’s blasting pressurized water with coarse elements onto the stuff you put inside, same reason you don’t put good knives in the dishwasher.

It’s not going to break the first time, but I seriously doubt any non-stick coating can survive a dishwasher for a year.

It does, I have an induction wok that I used in my previous apartment that had an induction stove. That being said it does have a flatter base than a “real” wok, but most woks you will use on your kitchen also have flat bottoms anyways. But yeah, you can’t use it the same way, so if you mainly cook with woks it might be an issue, for me it wasn’t.

Non-stick has to be cleaned by hand, whereas stainless steel can go in the dishwasher, so for me that’s easier to cleanup.

Non-stick has Teflon on top, which shouldn’t be heated above a certain temperature, and to sear steak you need to leave the pan in the stove for long without anything on it so it gets extremely hot (which would damage the Teflon coating of non-stick and release poisonous gases on your kitchen, not enough to kill you, but still can’t be healthy).

So, in short, stainless steel is a good middle ground, easier to clean and maintain than non-stick and cast iron.

As for gas/electric/induction it’s about efficiency, induction heats the bottom of the pan, electric heats the glass where the pan is resting, and gas heats everything. There’s a video from a YouTuber that measures time for a pot of water to get to 100° in all 3 (I don’t remember who, I thought it was technology connections but can’t find it), and in short induction is the fastest, electric takes a while longer, and gas melted his thermometer before the water boiled (which shows you just how much heat you’re putting in a place that’s not the pan).

That being said there’s certain stuff that is easier to do on gas stoves, possible on electric and impossible on induction. Namely anything that requires the pan to be heated at an angle. It’s very niche, I would say most people wouldn’t even notice or care about this limitation, but professional chefs sometimes prefer gas because it allows to be used like this.
