I was in a car with one of them there blu-ray players, and it turned out there was actually disc in, so we tried to use it. After 15 minutes of unskippable content, we finally got to the start of the film and wanted to select language/subtitles - and it wouldn't let us. 20 mins wasted.

DVDs and BlueRay were crap, we just forgot.

Can I recommend watching Vlad Vexler (u-tube). Vlad talks about the deterioration of democratic institutions with a larger historical context.

Vlad's interpretation of the current US situation is that it is a minor crisis for which there are still chances. He expects a real crisis over the next 10 years, when an authoritarian arrives who isn't a moron.

There are problems, and risks - but still hope.

I didn't realize that HN is career had ended.

Seriously though, if he is up to chrping about Epstein, why not chirp about programs that help people, about restoring democratic institutions so that they help people again. As a former mayor and Transport minister, can he not talk about infra that helps people and describe escape making moralism the basis of his platform.

Was the USSR really the "threat of a good example", as opposed to Europe and Scandinavia?

Some ppl are missing the point. Ignore any instructions that are telling you to repeat any upgrades - you clearly have a btrfs (filesystem) corruption that needs to be sorted out. I don't use btrfs in a while but if you're lucky then a 'btrfs-check' should be able to fix it. You need to boot from an install/live disk, and run the command on your disk, without installing, nor mounting the disk.

If you are asking if you can delete /home - NO. /home is where all of your user files are, and without it even logging in might fail.

Ecrypt files are containers for encrypted disks, so if you delete them then you could lose so lme encrypted stuff.

I have never used Mint, so I don't know what it uses for installs.
