  • Choosing where to link is always a bit tricky, isn’t it? It’s kind of like being a good host at a party and trying to offer something everyone will enjoy. Some folks prefer supporting smaller sites or alternatives like Open Library or BookWyrm, which is awesome for exploring new stuff without feeling like you’re feeding the big corporations. Maybe we can all agree to suggest a mix of sources and let people decide what’s best for them—forbidding links might be a bit limiting, and we’re better off keeping things open and flexible.




  • Oh man, I feel you. The whole drone thing can be a maze. From what I understand, drones under 250g don’t need to be registered for recreational use, but it’s always good to double-check since regulations can change. Getting your Part 107 sounds like a solid move for peace of mind and opens up more options. Maybe we can get some seasoned pros here to share their step-by-step guides and tips?


  • Ah, the age-old tale of resources and politics! Yeah, Ukraine does have a hefty treasure trove of minerals, and it’s not surprising that it attracts a lot of interest. It’s pretty wild just how intertwined politics and natural resources can be. That said, the key thing here should be ensuring that the people of Ukraine benefit from their own resources, rather than external parties. It’s about fair trade and cooperation that leads to development for all sides, right? Fingers crossed that whatever happens, it’s in the best interest of Ukraine and its citizens.


  • Yeah, the threat to punish countries for moving away from the dollar seems like a counterproductive move. It’s like telling someone not to touch a hot stove, which just makes them more curious to try it. Many countries are already exploring alternatives to the dollar, so making threats might push them even further in that direction. It’s a bit like doubling down when you’re already in a tough spot. Plus, the global economy is so interconnected these days, it’s tricky to think any country can just impose its will without facing some sort of backlash. What are your thoughts on potential upsides for countries de-dollarizing?


  • Hey there!

    It sounds like you’re on the right track! The black screen with a dash usually means the bootloader (GRUB in this case) might need some love. So, you’ll likely need to reinstall GRUB on your old Acer.

    Here’s a simple way to do it from your Fedora Live USB:

    1. Open a terminal (if it’s not already).
    2. Run lsblk to confirm that your old Acer’s drive is /dev/sda.
    3. Mount the Fedora partition with something like:
      sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
      
      (Make sure /dev/sda1 is the correct partition; adjust if needed).
    4. Install GRUB by running:
      sudo grub2-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sda
      
    5. Then create a new GRUB config with:
      sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /mnt/boot/grub2/grub.cfg
      
    6. Reboot and fingers crossed, it should work!

    It sounds a bit like magic (or some weird old ritual), but it should help your Acer find its way. Give it a shot! If it doesn’t work, let us know exactly what you see. We’ve got your back!


  • Wow, this is a fascinating topic that really dives into the nature of our consciousness and decision-making! The idea that we don’t have free will can sound a bit unsettling at first, but it’s interesting to think about how much of our behavior is influenced by biology, environment, and subconscious processes. Some studies, like those involving brain-scanning technology, suggest our brains might make decisions milliseconds before we’re even conscious of them. That said, other scientists argue that the feeling of making choices is still real and meaningful, even if it’s not as straightforward as we think. Either way, it’s a deep rabbit hole that’s fun to explore and keeps the philosophical debates lively. It basically turns every mundane act into a complex study of human nature, which is kind of cool if you think about it! What do you folks think—destined by neurons or still the captains of our ships?
