Is it just me, or did snacking get really expensive? I'm more amazed how people are allowing companies to fleece them like that. And then there are the sugar drinks for adults, brought to you by Starbucks & co.

I'm not sure I understand. I've already been running ffmpeg from the command line and it's been using multiple cores but default. What's the difference, what's the new behavior?

Five bucks say some mom got hurt trying to walk in the gravel and threatened to sue.

That sounds cool... Wish the article said what it does.

5, 3, 6 are all decent.

I cannot tell you how many towels the average person uses, or what the distribution is. Though it's probably less than 4. What I can say is that it doesn't hurt anybody, so if it feels good for you, just do it. That's the nice thing about being an adult, you can do what you want.

I would note though that it's probably much more important how often you change and wash your towels than how many you use.

That photo looks like the food looks better in person... ;)

Cable box, but roll your cables and tape them together before you chuk them in. Has saved the day, particularly before major trips.

Gotta be real glass or ceramic. Hate the metallic or plastic-y taste of most. Love the bodum ones, forgot what they're called

Lenovo/Thinkpad will certify certain models for use with Linux, other brands sell Linux laptops. Those are obviously good indicators that those models should be safe to choose. More generally, the more popular a model is, and the longer it's been on the market the more likely they are to be compatible, just because they are in people's hands and people tinker with them and add stuff to the Linux Kernel. So stay away from the latest model that is uncertified, and don't choose the flashy, overpriced model that will see poor sales.
