True dat.

Walgreens is lucky that guy didn't slip on that slick floor. They should install a non-skid surface for bikes like that.

The Jersey shore in the summer is a way of life for those who live in NJ to the extent that it approaches a religious cult. And it’s passed down the generations. You have to witness it to understand it.

@mik said in Shooters needed.: Just end it entirely. This.

@jon-nyc said in Need book recommendations: If you think that's too advanced, I have other suggestions of adventure stories but one problem you could find is that the books written at a reading level he'd be good with won't interest him because they're aimed at younger kids. That's a good suggestion. If it's a very well-known book or story, then there's a non-zero probability that I'll find specially prepared versions of the book that would contain footnotes and vocabulary lists for more advanced words.

@axtremus said in "No pre-installled apps": With some strict definition, "bash" and "curl" can be considered "applications" rather than "operating system". What definition would that be? A shell to start OS commands has been part of basically every OS in the last 50 years. The ability to download (curl) and install applications is also a core functionality of an OS. Even embedded systems such as routers have those commands preinstalled. Obviously there's no sharp definition of what is core OS functionality and what isn't, but these two are pretty close to "core".
