I will add onto this, that you don't need to be a programmer or understand how everything works to use the terminal. At first, it's fine to copy the commands directly into the terminal without really knowing how it all works.
I would very highly suggest to be careful about doing this blindly, you can and will compromise or Bork your system doing this too haphazardly. But it's fine to learn it piece by piece, looking at what commands do as you go to use them. Treat every command you copy paste into the terminal the same way you would treat a .exe file you download from the internet on Windows.
As you use the terminal more frequently, you'll being to recognize different commands and what they do. You'll even start figuring out shortcuts or variations of commands and variables that align more with how you use the computer and what you're hoping the output to give you.
Linux Mint is a great place to play with this, because most everything has a GUI counterpart so you can see the difference between doing the same task with a GUI vs using the terminal. It is also able to live-boot from a USB, as others have pointed out, so you don't need to worry about ruining your primary computer experience. I'd suggest trying this out before you build your new computer, just to see what it's like.
I'd very much like to know why you think it isn't horror? I can understand why you attribute mystery/suspense to it, but that doesn't preclude it being horror. What are examples of movies you do consider horror?
Ah, fair! For me, the switching between music and oration would be a bigger distraction than one or the other on their own.
Genuine question, why not try different podcasts? There are a variety of subjects, and plenty that are current events/news related for niche communities. That doesn't mix music between episodes, but let's you find discussions on topics you're interested in.
Though, it does help to make a good faith effort to add content you'd like to see more of
I was thinking the same thing, but I'm an American with limited knowledge of the social situations in Europe. Would someone explain the situation better for me? What are the pressures forcing people to make dangerous trips like that? I know refugee displacement is an issue, but that doesn't explain an illegal crossing of the channel to me, compared to staying somewhere in France for example?
Eventually, it will. Because even with janky responses like that one, corporations will try to cost save everywhere they can. Is AI at the point where it will happen this year? Hell no! But don't think it isn't the direction they are trying to take it.
Yeah, it's at most a 10% decrease, but didn't want to mislead on it.
Processor may be a limiting factor going forward, as well as PCIE Gen 3 slot on motherboard, but you should still be able to get the majority of performance put of most GPUs. Look for Radeon 6600 or 6600 XT in your local market, or if you can find an RTX 2070 for a good price.
Going newer, a 4060 would also be a good choice, and DLS3 would be a good feature in your build, but that's pushing a little past your budget unless you find a good sale or used one.
A 2008 machine and a 1996 machine are going to be drastically different in capability. Even the 2008 machine will be reaching certain limitations depending on what you want to use it for, and what the specific machine is.
More power to you for trying to recycle and refurbish older tech, I think that is a very positive thing! But I don't think replacement parts will magically become available if they aren't already, only currently available parts might become more affordable or available to the public. What I'm saying is, don't expect an LGA 1151 motherboard to come into production again.
Sorry, no, even if it works for you (and I'm glad they do), it still sounds unhealthy and is a red flag. Red flags aren't an immediate "this is a deal breaker", it is a "this needs your attention" so you can see if it's something you need to avoid or not. And just because everyone is in agreement and feels comfortable with something, doesn't make that thing healthy. Communication is a good first step, and I'm not here judging your own situation because I don't know the full situation, but simply being comfortable and in agreement over something doesn't mean that thing isn't dangerous to the relationship or the individuals in the relationship.

Why is it on a plant...?
"Irresponsible initially" Geeze, crazy way to phrase it. What if the unwanted child was an accident despite precautions? And parents who didn't want the child could be expected to be not as involved (still wrong), but a planned child that is equally neglected means the parents were selfishly putting their own wants for a child above the responsibility of raising the child.
There is no clean distinction between groups with the question you proposed, there are just too many variables that play into this sort of situation. Every family is going to be different, and every child going through this will react to the situation in a different way.
"Which is worse, seeing milk your roommate sitting on a counter and letting it spoil, or forgetting to put your own milk in the fridge and letting it spoil?" What's the difference between them? Intention? Ignorance? Planning? How can you know from just those two examples?
Frodo was an orphan that never quite fit in at Brandy Hall. Some JRPG protagonists are left as fairly blank slates (Crono, Link), while Cecil of Final Fantasy IV was an orphaned prince, in Fire Emblem Marth loses his father and sister at the start if his adventure, and while not strictly a JRPG, Samus was raised by foster parents and was genetically modified to be a super soldier.
Sure, not every game or plot followed the trope, and there are plenty of great examples that break the trend or flesh the story out to carry it well, there's a reason "orphaned chosen one" is a trope in the first place.
It's also just something silly to point out and chuckle over. Sure, there are positive, story compelling reasons for a random commoner to be thrust into extraordinary situations and become a hero of the realm! But there's also little (normal) reason for Bob the Baker to leave his life as a staple of the community with a loving family and steady work to wander the realm facing dangerous monsters and delve into ancient tombs. When you find a way to make the later work, it's amazing, though!
And if/when they are successful at completing the unreasonable request, it's "huh, that's interesting. Must have been [nonsesne reason], and now you have to [moving of goalposts]."
And they will look at you with a straight face and say how much better the economy was under Trump. They really don't care about any other factors, they will literally attribute any good thing to have been the masterwork of Trump, and anything they don't like is some evil plot by Democrats intentionally structured to hurt them specifically.
Well adjusted individuals with a good social/familial network rarely become wandering mercenaries, but it's so refreshing when everyone else is an orphaned lone-wolf prodigy with secret ancestry in the royal family
