Garbage is not all that's available here, there are plenty of healthy choices everywhere. You just have to stay away from the fast food peddlers, which includes "fine dining" chain restaurants.

That's a tooth extraction, a root canal is where they drill down through the tooth and root to get at and eliminate the infection, saving the tooth. It's not a one session job, they drill down then inject antibiotics to kill the infection, then place a temporary filling in the hole. This is to make sure the infection is gone before placing the permanent filling. I had one a few years ago that took several sessions to get rid of the infection. With a good dentist, it's not painful. Hell, my wisdom teeth extraction was way more painful.

You don't need a PDF editor to create PDF's, you can print to PDF in any program that can print, including LibreOffice Writer.

They have the .deb at the top of their download page, no need to install the PPA repository if you don't want. You can't get any more than "just downloading and double clicking an ~~exe~~ deb" than that on Ubuntu.

I will admit though, I wish there were an easier way to install PPAs.

The problem with meat is not that we eat it, but that we eat too much of it. Most people eat a week's worth of meat in a single day, and that results in the over production of meat, which is helping to destroy the environment.

You can't simply go with the manufacturing emissions, you have to look at the entire life cycle of the vehicles in question.

You realize your computer won't work without scripts, don't you? And if you want your computer to do something it doesn't do on its own, a simple script will make it do what you want. If that is your definition of sucking, then you need to go back to Windows, which is also loaded with scripts, by the way, so that sucks too.

I'm marinating a salmon steak in an Asian sauce mixture, and roasting that. I'll make some fried rice and steam some broccoli, and pour the remaining sauce from the salmon over the broccoli. This is something I meant to do last night but didn't get around to it, so it's my christmas eave dinner tonight.

I think AppImages suck as well, but this is not a reason for my dislike. A simple script that you can run on startup will fix that problem.

Maybe take it up with his boss? I really can't see the restaurant caring one way or another, as long as the shift is covered by someone qualified to do the job.

I moved to Reddit when Digg destroyed itself. It wasn't too hard to make the switch, although it did take a bit of getting used to. I imagine it'll be the same this time, or maybe a bit easier, as the format of lemmy.ml is not too different in appearance from Reddit.
