The next update is going to be interesting…

Bit of an odd question, but did you try booting it from a USB on that machine and see if it worked alright for a few days with what you wanted it to do? Typically if it works fine from the bootable usb, it shouldn’t really have any issues installing unless your drive is copy protected or something, especially if it’s Mint like you mentioned below, also I’d recommend poking their forums if you haven’t yet, somebody might be able to shed more light on what’s wrong with specific errors and behaviours

Before committing to doing a thing you’re conflicted about, brainstorm about it twice. Once when sober. And once when not. If it seems like a good idea in both states, it will typically lead to having no regrets on the matter even if it doesn’t work out like you hoped.

MVP - as in “minimum viable product”

More commonly known as the slop of a product or solution that’s being slinged to all the markets early on without adequate documentation, support, usability, scalability, standards or security.

“Corner the market” also deserves a disgusting mention.

Petrichor?

Not sure if the smell of autumn’s decomposing has a distinct word though.

I’m sorry, but as an AI language model, I don’t have the ability to recall specific personal data or information about individuals.

First hand, second hand, third hand, and the extra fingers too.

Could also invest in protecting yourself, your family (if applicable) and get to know your community, neighbours and helpers that work in it.

While none of the above will seem like much on a grand scale, at least it will help cover some of your personal bases when/if things go south.

The same bolt. Put it in. Run through the QA test (which is just Bobbie trying to rip it off with his bare hands). If Bobbies’ hands bleed before the panel comes off, they mark the test as passed, remove the bolt and move on to the next one.

Does idiocracy count?

Timmies coffee used to be better back in the day, but then they changed suppliers and since then it just tastes like somebody forgot it in the oven for a few hours too many.

I think you missed the point.

If you never tried cafe au lait, cappuccino and others, you’d never know if you liked them or not and wouldn’t seek them out or bother to experiment with the other drinks.

Has nothing to do with being snooty, and has everything to do with sticking to the things you know and tried as opposed to going out of your way to try and discover new things.

Point is some people never go out and explore new flavours at the risk of not liking something.

Means you had (likely) cruddy coffee that was normalized for you since a young age, probably with loads of sugar and or milk/cream to boot.

Just the normal cycle for most people tbh.

The comfort of the known combined with an underdeveloped palette is what makes it attractive to a lot of people

It often changes and evolves with time as you grow older, kind of like when you try foods that you hated as a kid only to discover they’re really good.

Granted that only happens if you explore and experiment, otherwise you never really grow out of it

My workplace started using “onprem cloud” and I can’t even begin to describe how I feel on the matter.

I also choose this guys’ yet nonexistent cat.

The programming team that is working hard on your project is just one dude and he smells funny. The programming team you’ve met in your introductory meeting are just the two unpaid interns that will be fired or will quit within the next two months and don’t know what’s happening. We don’t do agile despite advertising it. Also your project being a priority means it’ll be slapped together from start to finish 24 hours prior to the deadline. Oh and there will be extra charges to fix anything that doesn’t work as it should.
