Depends on the currency, though…

In 1999 when the entire town was on dialup, I set up this relatively small PC with FreeBSD 3.3 and eggdrop, and hid it in the school library. That way I had an IRC bot that worked while I was offline. After a while I also set it up to automatically grab files from FTP servers for me, but getting these out from the “server” offline was tricky due to 1.44MB floppies being the only removable storage I had available.

Back then internet carried dialup charges per minute for me, so this was a huge time and money saver.

You can test it in the phone and see if it has any juice in it, then. If I were in your shoes I’d feel safe in testing it that way.

It’s probably fine. The batteries don’t care about moisture, as long as the pins don’t get shorted or corroded.

If they were wet enough to short, the symptoms are usually a completely dead battery or it seeming puffy, a.k.a. spicy pillow.

You can measure the voltage with a voltmeter if you want to check. It should read around 3.5 to 4V, depending on charge.

Depends on your OS, but symlinks can do that for you - file exists once, but multiple “files” link to it. The application (torrent client) doesn’t care.

The what now?

Pardon me, I should’ve been more specific: I don’t care how either. Nor am I on windows, for that matter.

Carcinisation is out of control

This is where i’d add a thumbs up emoji of approval, but I don’t know how.

I have to admit that “gnomical” does not make me think of genomes.

Bulls can lick their own balls.

Also, cows have a lot in common with dogs, behavior wise. I think it comes with being herd animals.

Not a TV show, but one of the Matrix movies (the 2nd IIRC) has Trinity use nmap and a well known exploit at the time to hack into a system.

Norway - Similar to many European countries, owning a gun requires a certifiable reason to do so, which basically means hunting or target shooting. Loads of guns here, as there’s a lot of moose and deer. Obtaining and owning a hunting rifle requires skill tests and a theoretical exam, and you need to be part of a hunting group.

ARs are banned for obvious reasons. The only exception is for people who are army reservists who are (were?) allowed to store their service weapon at home, if they have proper secure storage options available. This may have changed since I was a reservist myself, but those were the rules in 2007 at least.

Pistols are legal for target shooting, but with strict background checks and so forth. Plus you have to be part of a target shooting club. Getting a pistol is generally harder than a rifle, as a means of preventing pistols from ending up on the streets. Gun voilence happens, but it is extremely rare, and mostly tied to gangs and/or organized crime. Except from this asshole in 2011.

Carrying permit for guns is pretty much none existent. To/from hunting or shooting range.

Self defense is not a valid reason for obtaining and carrying a gun. You don’t really need it either. The only exception is Svalbard where is is possible due to polar bears. And even then, you can’t be an idiot about it; a few years ago this dumbass got permanently banned from the Svalbard territory after intentionally provoking a polar bear, then shooting it, claiming self defense.

I was just dicing some onions last week

Install steam and test which of your games will run in mint. Some might require proton, but I’m sure you’ll find that you don’t need that many reboots.

In my opinion, the full potential of linux is gained via the command line. The GUI is just an abstraction layer, and various distros have various approaches to this abstraction. Comman line familiarity is far from a necessary step, but it sure is a useful one.
