Russia invaded Georgia? People laughed? Am I under a rock?

Edit: oh, the country, not the state

Arch has been my go to for almost 10 years now, and it was one of my favorites for 5 years prior. These days I rarely have any issues from updating. I have to use Ubuntu for work and I dread every distribution upgrade. I got lucky and the last one worked on my work laptop, but usually something stupid breaks.

I run arch on my laptop, my previous laptop, and my server. The install on my server is 7 years old now, and started life with an entirely different CPU brand. I won’t say I’ve never had to do any manual intervention, but the answer has been a Google search away pretty much every time.

I use Arch BTW

I actually don’t remember that, who was it?

Well they’re always yelling about how liberals are socialist or communist, and Russia was previously socialist and communist. Also they say they don’t like government to control things, and the Russian government controls everything. They hate on NPR and call it state sponsored, while all Russian media is state sponsored. So yeah, you would think they wouldn’t like Russia, but only if you thought they actually believe the shit they say.

I upgraded my 10 year old brother bw laser to color a few years ago and gave the old one to a friend

Old science, yes. People forget how young modern science is, electricity was only “discovered” less than 300 years ago, the internet only became public 28 years ago, carbon dating isn’t even 100 years old yet, DNA wasn’t even broken down into it’s parts and structure until the 1950s, Einstein’s theory of relativity is barely over a century old. Archeology is hundreds if not thousands of years old, and even modern archeology probably started before the US was even a country
