Disease usually results from inconclusive negotiations for symbiosis, an overstepping of the line by one side or the other, a biological misinterpretation of the borders.

  • Well, this was the case maybe 5 years ago, if not 10+ years back. Linux Mint, Ubuntu, PopOS, Fedora, and ElementaryOS can all be run via a GUI. Additionally, you’re comment about programs is baseless. If you switch from Windows to Mac guess what will have to happen, you’ll have to start using similar but not the same programs. However, using a VM or Wine isn’t hard whatsoever thanks to YT walkthroughs. It’s 10 to 20 minutes of guided clicking and then you’re running Windows programs on Linux.

    96% of the top 1,000,000 servers online and 100% of super computers run Linux. But people are creatures of habit and when compounded with a statement like this riddled with half truths, it only makes most folks more hesitant to switch. 4.1% of PCs run a common Linux distro, 1.9% run ChromeOS, and 6.4% run an “unknown” OS, which is widely believed to be Linux as well. So 12.4% of PC’s run some form of Linux and with the SteamOS release around the corner, this will breach 15% for sure. But okay, we’re a bunch of loons who like owning the equipment we bought and enjoy the financial + security + privacy perks of open sourced software. If nothing else, I hope you feel better. Take care!






  • New Zealand would be a fun place to relocate. While it does suck they’re part of the 5 eyes as their government loves snuggling up to the US, the life outlook of the citizens is admirable. The money someone has or doesn’t have isn’t a consideration regarding how someone is viewed. A millionaire and a home-free individual are seen similarly when first met thanks to this mindset. Both mountain towns and island towns have a laid back approach to each day, which would be a nice change of pace. New Zealand is also both, as it’s an island with a couple huge mountains. Snowboarding and surfing are a ton of fun, especially when the travel time is minimal. So ya, New Zealand would be a solid choice in my book!!



  • Yep! Insects can use their legs, mouthparts, as well as other specialized structures for grooming. In addition, some beetles actually use water to wash off dirt and contaminants. Other insects make and secret substances for cleaning. A common example of this is ants using formic acid as a disinfectant. Then, similar to monkeys, bugs like bees and ants conduct social grooming. This helps with the colonies overall health.
