Life itself doesn’t get easier until you learn how to make boundaries and life the way you really are. Ask anyone that has “come out” as gay, trans, or autistic. It sucks at first but life gets better once you learn who you are and stop being sorry for it.
I work in a PC repair shop and I run my tool stick on this way. By the way, you can just put a folder in your Ventoy and store non-iso files so you can have portable apps and so on.
Edit: ADHD did ADHD things. Here’s some more stuff. A lot of it is Windows-centric because that’s what we specialize in. ISOs:

I love old machines but 7 years old is a lifetime in computing and especially laptops. Most normal laptops last like 3-5 before they fall apart. One thing that is cool about Thinkpads is that they are often obsolete before the fall apart.
Super tall mountains do stay snow-capped but that starts at elevation roughly double of where I live.
So that is true in terms of convection heat. Aka the sun gets the air hot, then the air gets you hot. When you’re in the shade, this is how you feel heat in high altitude. At sea level this is also mostly how you feel heat.
The difference is radiation heat. When you’re in the thinner atmosphere you get more UV light and it heats you directly. UV can also penetrate skin a certain amount so it heats you inside too. You also burn super fast up high.
Logically I know that of course.
Friendly reminder, this is specifically a thread about petty and pedantic topics. I self-nominated as pedantic here.
I like that and it’s probably the right metric tbh. But in terms of just linear distance it makes my blood itch lmao
Yes! That’s another one for sure. I personally can let that one go however. But as for heat, I have studied it formally and something about makes me need to fix the misinformation.
So not to be pendantic (lol), but this is the definition of a pendant:
noun noun: pedant; plural noun: pedants
a person who is excessively concerned with minor details and rules or with displaying academic learning.
With pedantic of course meaning acting in that way. I feel like pointing out my technical knowledge is unnecessary in the grand scheme of things but even if I try to let it go my brain will hang on to it until I tell them, even if that is much later on.
That said, hopefully it’s not pointless to share!
I live in a high altitude area. It gets very hot. People will say that it’s because we’re “closer to the sun” as if the 6000ft/1800m difference is what matters vs the 93,000,000mi/150,000,000km distance to the sun is affected by something so small.
The difference is the lack of atmosphere to soften the various types of light from the sun.
Our teeth do much better when we eat a diet that’s more in line with our evolution. Check out pictures of primal tribes. They very often have beautiful smiles.
Destiny 2 should be in that list. It’s all meta builds.
I’ll also mention the opposite. I got back into Rocket League. I originally had about 300hrs in it and stopped playing for a couple years. I have put maybe another 30hrs in since coming back and it’s exactly as I left it. Maybe a couple menus have changed but it was very simple to get back into.
If you go with the T480 (not sure about the S model) you can run dual batteries and it’s runds FOREVER
So I’m not a doctor but as I understand it, CAT-Q effectively is a booster for the RAADS-R. A lot of the RAADS-R is either understanding or recognizing the symptoms of autism, but people who are high masking (aka “camouflaged”) have often learned to hide/not notice their autistic traits. Reminder of course, the “A” in CAT-Q means “autistic”.
That said, I think 100+ on RAADS-R before a fairly high CAT-Q is something worth considering alone.
I have a special interest in psychology and if this was something related to a mental health condition I would be the first to tell you that the best way to learn is peer-reviewed studies, published references like the DSM-5 (imperfect as it may be) and so on. However, autism is not a psychological issue, it’s a neurological difference. This means that the best way to learn is to talk to autistic people (which you currently are!) and see if the little things that make you/them “weird” resonate with each other. If you’re feeling more introverted than that, you could maybe find an autistic YouTuber that “clicks” with you and see how their experience compares to yours.
Hey there I replied to the person that replied to you but I think that comment may be of value to you. https://reddthat.com/comment/12415216
And FWIW, there is only one kind of autism. ;)
FWIW if you’re 18+ there is less reason to get formally diagnosed. University of Washington did a study some time ago which found self diagnosis is rarely wrong. Link to that PDF here: https://depts.washington.edu/uwautism/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Self-Diagnosed-Adult-Autism-Resources-handout-9-22-22.pdf
A good way to find out is a combination of a couple tests. The RAADS-R is the most accurate known autism test, is is over 80% accurate. Here is a free one that doesn’t require registration: https://embrace-autism.com/raads-r/
And if you doubt you’re autistic in any way (guessing based on wanting to be diagnosed), the CAT-Q is a good test to identify camouflaged autistic traits that you’ve learned to hide. This one is also free from the same place: https://embrace-autism.com/cat-q/
Feel free to ask if you have questions. I’m late diagnosed myself (was over 30) and it’s a big world to navigate blindly!
Hell they had a similar incident on Debian servers THIS YEAR. Absolutely unacceptable a corp this half-assed has the type of control it does.
Not the other guy but I learn a lot of high quality information of YouTube. The golden rule for me is longer-form video is generally higher quality. People that know what they’re talking about typically aren’t going to explain complex things in 30 seconds, or at least not to the depth you should understand it.
Aside from that, I look for people with actual qualifications first. Example, I love psychology so I will look for psychologists, licensed professional counselors, and so on. I’ll even listen to life coaches, but more selectively.
The lower on the “chain” they are, the more I will do “spot checks” on information and see if they know what they’re talking about (ESPECIALLY if they’re making big or new claims about something). For that I’ll look into peer-reviewed studies and such for that.
Once you get a small knowledge base it’s a little easier to continue. Talk something you have a clue about, and watch a video with that topic from another content creator.
Do all of this for a while and you’ll find what you need to.
And don’t forget Cool Spot, the 7UP game for SNES!
I Spy, of course!
Cool project!
Sadly almost all these comments are wrong. I work in a computer shop and we see the scam you’re talking about all the time. It happened because you unknowingly opened an ad. So you clicked on a button that looked legitimate like “download” or “next” or whatever, and that pops up full screen. The fix is a good ad blocker like ublock origin. Google’s being a piece of shit right now about ad blockers so I recommend something Firefox-based for effective ad blocking.
