I was offered a job at a computer repair shop at age 14. Dude had to retract his offer when I told him my age, he assumed I was 17 or older.

As a former BMX flatland rider, I’m almost ambidextrous. Almost.
But if you ask me to write my name with my left hand, you’ll get jibberish.
Whether factual or not, that’s still the direction Canonical is heading.
Have you not caught the recent news that Ubuntu is now plastering adverts on the desktop if you haven’t paid for it?
Please kindly fuck off.
Is it sad that I read this while literally listening to The Old Ball Game?
Wanna hear a scary command I’ve used before?
sudo aptitude reinstall '~i'
Not for the faint of heart, nor meant for a fresh install, but that literally reinstalls every single registered package in Debian based distro.
Edit: If you ever dare use that command, you better make 2 pots of coffee and roll 3 joints, cuz it’ll take a good while…
I sorta had a feeling that wasn’t necessarily the best link after I posted it. Check this for more info (I’m on my phone right now…)
I feel your pain from a distance, I really do. ☹️
The best advice I have in the meantime is to prepare for a full backup of all packages and consider switching to a different Debian based distro…
Your problem is that you’re still using Ubuntu, after Canonical started injecting advertising and wants you to pay for it now.
Try a different distro, like anything besides Ubuntu…
I only came across a spare pair like 2 weeks ago, so I totally understand the confusion.
Mildly interesting update…
I wish the glasses case was neon yellow instead, because apparently blue is impossible to find in the dark. 🤷♂️
Late? I was early in the PC game controller community, around 2003 or so. Not only did I master game controllers, I heavily modified them as well.
Edit: Try playing Descent, then you might see why I modded my game controllers.
What’s the opposite of congress?
Progress
I do have a bright blue case, but that’s where I keep my emergency backup glasses. That stays at home though, every time I lose my glasses seems to be when I’m staying the night at a friend’s place…
I’m known to roll around in my sleep. And I’ve accidentally knocked my glasses off of my nightstand, apparently with my blanket, and couldn’t find them for days.
On more than one occasion no less. Do you know how difficult it is to get anyone to help you find your glasses when everyone else thinks you’re full of shit?
My vision is like 20/500 without glasses.
No. That just makes me more likely to lose my glasses. I usually just wear them, 24/7…
The optional part was whether I wear my glasses while I sleep, as I usually have all my life, or place them on the nightstand…
I have to find my glasses. If your vision was so bad as mine that you can’t find your own glasses, and you’re two days out of work because they fell behind the night stand and you can’t see to find them, you’d understand…
Interesting. I’m not quite sure what the laws were back in 1996, but yeah with school and all, plus the travel distance of over 30 miles, even if it was legal for me to work a few hours a day after school, it wouldn’t have been practical at all.
Still nice that he offered the job, I was trying to brainstorm and troubleshoot why my first sound card didn’t work. Turned out he got a defective batch, like 3 other customers had the same issues.
He knew I did all the proper troubleshooting already. Honestly I forget what model sound card it was, but once I proved it didn’t work, he gave me a different card that cost twice as much, for no extra money.
