  • Does the theater not serve drinks? If they do and you can get away with one, buy one. Covertly refilling it would be indistinguishable from you just nursing one drink for the entire performance.

    You could also use a base with a strong scent. Colas, Dr. Pepper, orange soda, etc. may have enough smell to hide your habit from those around you.

    I feel for you. Nothing beats a good drink. However, in cases like this, perhaps edible cannabis is better. No smell, discreet, and enough to “just take the edge off” (for me) is about the size of a breath mint. Have some while you’re waiting in line to get in and enjoy the show.


  • tl;dr, podcasts are expensive to produce, about $1000/hour with video, hosts (local and remote), and post-production. TWiT is going through hard times and some shows and hosts have to go. Sadly, FLOSS was on the chopping block.

    Advertisers just aren’t interested in podcasts anymore. If you still want to support the network after this, give Leo $7/month and join Club TWiT. I don’t give a rat’s ass about Discord, but I do want to prevent stuff like this.



  • I tried Linux when I was younger. I decided to try Gentoo on underpowered hardware with zero Linux experience. I credit that uphill battle for teaching me Linux! I used that until I got into dependency hell and switched back to Windows for a while. I needed PowerShell and stuff for my old job, before it went cross-platform. It was fine.

    A few years later, I was dual-booting again. Then, Windows 10 began blue-screening randomly. I couldn’t figure out why. Reinstalling didn’t work. So I started using Linux full-time and I’ve never looked back.

    Even when I found out that one of my memory sticks had been half-inserted for months, and that’s probably what made Windows crash all the time. How did Linux handle it? Obviously, because it’s better.
