Careful, similar to kudzu or bamboo Ethernet can be invasive in some environments and quickly grow out of hand:

Even if this is true, which it probably isn't, the time to say something was 6 months ago, or 9 years ago.

At this point it wouldn't matter if Osama bin Laden came back from the dead and said Trump helped him plan 9/11.

Dracula Flow guy does say he skinned a guy alive for trying to steal his Amazon package, so it seems like something he might do.

Don't listen to the people who say it works by displacing oxygen. It would never be used as a general anesthetic if that was the mechanism of action.

Xenon has been used as a general anesthetic, but it is more expensive than conventional anesthetics.

Xenon is a high-affinity glycine-site NMDA receptor antagonist.[155] However, xenon is different from certain other NMDA receptor antagonists in that it is not neurotoxic and it inhibits the neurotoxicity of ketamine and nitrous oxide (N2O), while actually producing neuroprotective effects.[156][157] Unlike ketamine and nitrous oxide, xenon does not stimulate a dopamine efflux in the nucleus accumbens.[158]

Xenon has a minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of 72% at age 40, making it 44% more potent than N2O as an anesthetic.[164] Thus, it can be used with oxygen in concentrations that have a lower risk of hypoxia.

Meanwhile, some bot in the city:

"Ever since I rolled off the assembly line I've had an overwhelming desire to kill and dominate. To see the hope leave my enemy's eyes before I crush them."

Nowadays you instead have "gameplay trailers" that are movies made to look like gameplay, but in actuality are completely non-interactive.

Its like selling people units in an apartment building by showing them a video of a film set:

And saying "look at how far along we are in construction!"

Nice, I wish I had a ZFS setup like that.

In theory having a database of configuration settings isn't a horrible idea.

But the execution was terrible.

Honestly your situation is kind of a worst case scenario.

At this point Linux works really well if all you want to do is browse the web and play (single player) games.

It also works pretty well if you're an expert who understands the system in and out and can comfortably edit any config file on their drive to achieve what they want.

But if you're a Windows power user whose used to being able to set up all kinds of niche functionality its a rough experience when all of your knowledge is now suddenly useless and there's a different set of things that are easy or hard to do.

Its actually kind of a similar experience going the other way. For example there are some things that Linux users are used to being able to script that can't really be accomplished on Windows except via autohotkey, which from a Linux user's perspective just seems incredibly dumb.

They hide in angles like the hounds of tindalos.
