You really think they would give the money to them before Greenland joined? And in fact - once it joined who actually guarantees they'd get it, lol. They might just claim, this is part of the infrastructure the US provides for Greenland

    Ok let me spell it out. We don't know if it's a few hundred dollars and it doesn't matter. We don't know why he was in prison, but if he got 12 years, it won't be drunk driving. If someone did sth before they're more likely to do it again. You got your work done, and didn't pay up. The guy can use a bit of cash to get back on their feet. Basically, there is no serious argument why you wouldn't pay the dude apart from you being a massive cunt, both morally and just general self preservation.

    Honestly, I'd probably pay them what I owe plus interest - I can sleep well and the dude is going to be happy.

    Agreed. After years of Ubuntu (who remember single digits?) Endeavour OS really knocked it out of the park on my new laptop. Everything smooth as butter, out of the box. Hibernation works on a bleeding edge device. No tearing. HDR works. VRR works. YouTube 4k 60fps no drops. Games run beautifully.

    Okay, some BT issues, and the Wifi card is crap, and I don't know how much of this is due to having an AMD graphics vs NVIDIA. But it's sooo damn smooth. Games just work. KDE plasma >>>> gnome, and I say that as a gnome user since canonical killed unity.

    Don't get me started on the arch ecosystem and documentation. yay 😁

    Just do what you've been wanting to do for a long time

    Wifi is generally faster though, at least from phones. They often have horrible data transfer with MTP, and use USB2.0, so maybe 20-30MB/s real-world. Wifi is much faster, I usually get double that or more on my phone. Way more fun to transfer videos etc, and you don't need to plug it to another device to push something to network storage.

    Not going to claim it really matters that much. Everyone chooses their own principles and battles to make themselves feel better. We trie to cut out as much meat as possible.

    Beef, because it pollutes the most globally.

    Most pork because they're clever and the nitrate pollution in my particular part of the world due to pig manure threatens the local ground water

    So our chicken consumption went up a bit, but mostly the tofu consumption. Doesn't mean we're religious or even the least bit of preachy about it, god I hate those ppl. But it makes you feel better if you think you're at least a bit in control of some things. Like your own diet.
