Maybe someone here can advise. I ran two of the available "checking" scripts to see if I have any packages installed. Both came up with 1 package I have installed. It is gtkimageview, which is on the list.

However, if I look through the pacman.log I see it was installed on 2024-10 and last upgraded 2025-01. It seems to me that suggests I installed it before this all started, so I'm probably not infected?

I latent agree with that for all of his books, except for the Dark Tower series. I actually think the Dark Tower series is pretty good. It's very different from his other books though.

A toilet that is installed improperly and is on unlevell ground and wobbles or if the screws get even a little loose and the toilet wobbles every time you sit down, then it will end up with the leaky wax seal.

I agree this is not really "willy nilly", There is a clear sign of something wrong with the wobble. But a lot of people just aren't taught this stuff throughout their lives so they don't know that that's a problem. So then you end up with people sitting on a wobbly toilet for years and then the wax seal moves and starts to leak.

Uncaulked is the way to go. If you do maintenance and keep everything around it clean. At least where I'm currently living in the U.S. that seems to be the standard. I have seen other countries where the toilet and shower are all together and they just shower and spray down next to the toilet. I don't know about caulking there.

I have also seen the caulk around that leave the back open as well. That probably also works. Check code is most important, but I personally prefer no caulk look

Spam. When it comes out of the can, it looks like a disgusting gelatinous blob. But when you cut it thin and pan fry it, it's actually pretty tasty.Pretty much any canned meat. Ever seen a whole canned chicken? Although most canned meat doesn't taste nearly as good as fresh. But there really isn't a "fresh" spam. So I think it fits the question. https://c8.alamy.com/comp/CW0NEJ/luncheon-meat-on-plate-CW0NEJ.jpg

Any chance you'd be willing to share some of those configurations? Especially the wireguard one. For some reason I have the hardest time getting something working to connect to wire guard using tasker when I leave home.

The others I'd love to see and learn from also if you'd be willing to share. Thanks!

This one takes the cake for me. Can you imagine a baby growing up 24-7 surrounded by muppets and knows literally nothing else? That's wild.

Yeah, that's good advice. I actually knew the book had something to do with that. But after the first chapter or two, I did go back and need to review some of that, as it's been a while since I've taken a philosophy class. And I'm glad I did because some of the chapters I've read now I think made a bit more sense with that fresh on my mind.

I have been reading Anathema by Neal Stephenson. I'm about a fourth of the way through and it's been great. I've read two or three of his other books which I've really enjoyed. Cryptonomicon became one of my favorite books. But so far this has been up there as something that may top that, it's been pretty good so far. I hope it ends well.

I'd love it you'd name a few. I like games you can get lost in for hours and always looking for others I may have missed.
