    I’m going to go out on a limb and say none of those clearly printed suggestions were written on that extremely course wooden telephone pole

        Or maybe a stew that induces visual deprivation for a time period of 1 full rotation of the earth relative to the sun?

          What did they do to deserve a whole year?

              Also relative to (not around) the sun. The full rotation the earth does in a day is relative to the position of the sun. The absolute amount of rotation is different.

              You specified in reference to the sun. A day on earth is one rotation or revolution about its own axis. Has nothing to do with the sun. A rotation in reference to the sun is one year.

      Seriously though, whose stupid idea is this? Is this a thing that moms everywhere say to there hair-biting daughters? “You need to stop with that nasty habit sweety, our some day soon you’ll find yourself unable to see after lunch, and I’m not gonna tell you for how long!” And in the schools, stories go around like “Sally Newman was blind for a whole day last week, and she says her mom served her a stew that made her blind to make her stop biting hair!”???

        Clearly, you don’t have the maternal instincts either.

        Yup, I had a whole different set of issues to fix when I switched to Linux. 😅

          Yeah that was about my experience from switching as well 😭. It’s absolutely worth it, but god damn if there aren’t moments where I want to rip my hair out troubleshooting some issue that’s just plug and play on windows.

      That sounds like good advice, you should take it.

        Is it? I switched ten years ago, and I had to switch back in two years. And even this year, I couldn’t even finish writing my plugin on Linux because support for the software I needed is still lacking.

          But if you switch to Linux you can come here and proselytize to the userbase in just a out anything thread, regardless of topic. Doesn’t that sound better than using your software?

          I keep hearing about this “software I need” but never any examples, I’m genuinely curious as I really don’t know of many things that you can’t at least use a VM for

            Figma for Linux is unable to properly load fonts and the issue has been open since last year. I don’t have a system capable of ruining a VM without consuming a lot of power or taking a significant performance hit.

            Also, anticheat is not supported for League and I’m currently enjoying the hell out of ARAM Mayhem.

            I don’t share details, because when I do, people go, “well why don’t you just do X” and it’s the clunkiest solution one can use or straight up become condescending as if I haven’t tried what they’re saying.

    I don’t see what one-day blinding stew has to do with hair biting. But, I’ll look into it tomorrow

    I’m a single father so I don’t have the “maternal” instinct but I do have a voluminous mane of blonde hair as pictured.

    Biting hair is not as bad as biting skin 🤔

    My parent friends with kids that bite were biting back and it worked like a charm.
