This explains so much! It took me ages to get the Broadcom working correctly and even now I’m not sure how I got it to work (it sometimes goes away and I have to reboot to bring it back).

Haha I think there’s some confusion. I’m not asking if the USB is confirmed working, I’m asking if your Mint image is correctly written and can boot another machine successfully.

The icon I clicked on to start the installer was an orange disk called “EFI Boot.”

The etcher worked for me but I installed elementaryOS on a 2013. Have you verified the checksum and verified the USB works to boot any other computer you have available (your Linux desktop, maybe?)

My 2013 MacBook Pro with elementaryOS begs to differ.

1. Stop listening to or caring what other people think about your interests. They are your interests.

2. Consider not judging people (Swifties) the same way you have been judged for yours. Taylor isn’t your vibe, that does not mean she is overrated.

Steam servers would have to blow up the same day it went out of business, I feel like Gabe’s dying breath would be spent hitting a killswitch for DRM before the service shut down. Maybe hyperbole and naive of me but I doubt the truth is far off.

If I could go around selling random junk like burned books and toasters to every vendor in town, I would be doing a LOT better.

I think your issue may be the direct download preference. Since a torrent file is not a hosted copy of pirated content, but merely a call sheet to other computers that are sharing it, in my experience they seem to stay up longer than hosted copies of videos. Not DMCA-immune but maybe more resistant? Private trackers aren’t scraped by Google the way other parts of the internet seem to be, which is how studios and creators track down their content and play DMCA whack-a-mole. I see quite a lot of OnlyFans and Patreon content on my private torrent sites.

I may be misunderstanding what Usenet is or how it works, but this is my anecdotal experience.

I know we’re supposed to just chuckle at the idea that a child is a psychopath, but there are a few legitimate holes with the meme:

The phone lines went down at the very beginning of the film from the snow storm that took a couple of days to fix.

Marv was doing recon in the beginning disguised as a cop and Kevin recognized him when he was being followed in the van.

Then the cops actually show up for a wellness check, but he doesn’t know they are real and is terrified that the burglars are coming back to break in.

Kevin tries numerous harmless, inventive ways of scaring them off first, like the big party or the movie dialogue with the firecrackers, but the burglars are so stupid and persistent, they FAFO by still entering the home, where he never kills either of them, but only then do they get hurt.

It may not be a flawless film, but this gaping plot hole that the meme describes isn’t quite accurate.
