Haha - you too! I am also going to have to look into that, just in case 😅

Hell, I could be wrong too :-P I’ve never gone in that direction - only adding a Linux dual boot from USB stick. That sounds kinda scary, and would definitely make it easy.

Well, damn. Thanks for warning me about that possibility - looked like more steps that included BIOS last I checked, but as I said, I’ve never needed the process.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Edit: I should note that I have installed Windows from a USB stick recently, I’ve just never already had another OS installed and then going to Windows. Most of my experience is installing a Linux flavor for dual boot.

I guess I don’t know - I think you’d still have to go into BIOS and switch it to boot from USB? I don’t know about the rest of it, but I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t just start installation. Unless it’s a thumb drive specifically tailored to take over someone’s system?

So yes, you could reinstall Windows, but it would still require a reboot to BIOS to allow for it. Am I missing something? What’s the big “gotcha” that I missed? I genuinely don’t know, and since I am not an expert on installation of OSes, if you could enlighten me, that could be useful for me.

I don’t feel like that’s exclusive to Lenovo, fwiw. I have an Asus laptop, and it went like that for me installing Linux from a USB stick. It was a hassle and you’re right that it seems harder than it needs to be.

I don’t have any idea why it’s like that, but it feels like it’s a better option than someone being able to walk up to my PC/laptop/whatever and change my os just by using a thumb drive without any other hoops to go through. That’s just where I stand on the issue, but you’re right that it sucks for the owner/user.

I thought the same about seagulls - dumb bird, you don’t live anywhere near the sea… I actually would call them “parking lot gulls”

At least titmice have the decency to be cute!

Tufted titmice are among my favorite birds - and not just because I get to say “tit” in polite company… Also cockatoos and cockatiels.

There’s a kind of electric violin that actually is rather quiet, and in addition to the strings being quieter (there’s no resonance chamber) you can plug headphones in (yeah, plug) and have it sound loud to you. Electric or “silent violin” should probably lead you in the right direction!

I assume you mean IRL activities?

• Lock picking,
• knitting/crocheting,
• learning to roll a coin over your knuckles,
• working with beads or chainmail,
• definitely piano but other instruments can also help,
• and also typing. Home-row, no-looking, speed typing, is I guess what I mean.

Similar style, but Spock doesn’t wear his like a full-sized backpack. More of a commuter purse?

I mean, to be fair… With the way Mt Dew eats up my stomach lining, I can sort of understand someone thinking it might get rid of DNA on the skin… Kinda…

Man. Florida. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Who knows what kind of crazy will happen next.
