They say hindsight has 20/20 vision.

Unless you are God, it's pretty hard to predict accurately the future. But in hindsight I can see things more clearly too.

If I had known what I know now I would not have come to Texas. I don't like the people, nor the weather, nor little else. Sadly relocating is next to impossible. Maybe I should have gone to Wyoming. Canada is amazing! Problem is I don't think the Canadians will give me a visa to live there. 

You tell us that you regret moving to Texas, the new eldorado of the USA. And yet, I remember you saying that it was still better than Florida.

As for Canada, there are probably good places. And I would rather live in Canada than in the United States too, where they have a two tier health care system (What's more I'm speaking French, so it would be easy for me to live in Quebec).

But it seems there are neighborhoods to avoid in Vancouver, at least without your bodyguards. From that point of view, I prefer an average area in San antonio than the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver.
This area is plagued by disproportionately high levels of drug use, homelessness, poverty and crime.
If you watch the video below, you'll see disturbing images, and I guess those on the forum who are living in well-managed towns, where poverty doesn't exist, like Monaco, Singapore, Dubai, and Islamabad, must be shocked.

Why Texas is Becoming America's Most Powerful State?
I advise humbert to watch this video, he might learn a few things.

I ended up here because I was desperately trying to leave Miami. The big problem was selling the house. When an opportunity came up in 2011, my lady suggested San Antonio. She lived there for a brief time and said it was a great place. So I came here.

Programs / Re: Virtual Machines

Last post by humbert - May 22, 2023, 04:45 AM

Both VBox and VMware needs drivers which they used to try installing automatically post OS install, now you need manually trigger Vmware tools install and Vbox Tools for video and sound drivers which are basic.

I aware of that. In fact if you don't install VMware Tools or VirtualBox extension pack, there's not much you can do. The only issue that remains is copying/pasting to and from Linux Mint. It works OK with Win11 under VMWare.

Another thing is use WSL2 with GUI following the guide here https://medium.com/@japheth.yates/the-complete-wsl2-gui-setup-2582828f4577
The author used Ubuntu image from Windows Store,you can replace with Linux Mint main edition and swap this step (sudo tasksel install xubuntu-desktop) with (sudo tasksel install mint-desktop) which install linux mint DE.

I've been having trouble with Windows11 WSL2 or anything else that comes from the Windows Store or Windows Update. When updating and/or installing installing something from the Windows Store, I've had to do it manually. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I'd love to stick with Win10 forever that but, as usual, that's virtually impossible. The lappie alone has newer hardware not supported by Win10.

Let me see if I understand you correctly. Are you able to run a full, graphical copy of Ubuntu under WSL2 without needing a VM program? I'm asking because so far I've haven't been able to get past the terminal.

No. My ISOs were never preactivated.

What activator do you use? There are tons of them out there. Most work. The only problem is they leave garbageware behind.

Last post by humbert - May 22, 2023, 04:31 AM

Truth is.
I eat to survive usually, not because im very fond of the food.
I find food to be a huge waste of time, boring, energy consuming and often expensive for what you get in return. And coming up with food all the time sucks, worrying about food expiring, having to throw it out etc.

My sentiments exactly. I eat because I have no choice. If it were up to me I wouldn't eat at all. All I need to do is find myself another power source.

Hey Shadow: What are those liquid foods you keep mentioning? I only know about one called Boost, which tastes disgusting. Which ones do you use? Do you drink them every day? Hopefully I can follow your lead.

In France practically all farmed rabbits are kept in cages (It's certainly different in Sweden). Sometimes, they are injured, piled on top of each other and living in a space only slightly bigger than an A5 piece of paper. So I'm trying to avoid rabbit meat (hopefully it's a bitter better for pigs or fish). As for deer meat, I only tried one time, it's good indeed (you have to know a hunter to find that).

It's truly sad that none of us will probably live to see the day that the enslavement of non-human animals comes to an end. They are sentient beings just as much as we are. Some have abilities that we can only dream of.

... Cheese and brown baguette? 

Well, actually I think you know this cheese, it's a slab of creamy Gorgonzola. Gorgonzola is a premium blue cheese with texture veins and a creamy, buttery mouthfeel. The piece of bread is not a mere baguette (they are longer and thinner) but some farmhouse bread filled with walnuts. As for the beverage, it's a fine claret (Bordeaux).

I find food to be a huge waste of time, boring, energy consuming and often expensive for what you get in return.

Well, I don't get bored in front of a good meal, quite the contrary. Actually I wouldn't expect you to jump frantically on your chair if you were in front of me, but a cuisine of this caliber would surely lift your spirits to the highest culinary skies.
 

My diet as of late is 2 slices of bread with extra salted butter and cheese or ham. At noon, rice, meatballs, or sausage and then one fruit before noon and one after noon. In the evening usually two slices of bread again with ham/cheese.

There is not much liquid to me.

Seeing Scars food makes me very curious. Looks delicious. Pork belly and potatoes remind me of something I'd eat at grandmas place on a weekend with some more veggies.

I'm trying to stay young in my head. It's not easy.

What are your guys opinion on elk/moose, deer, rabbit meats like it?
I currently have smoked deer meat to have on my sandwich. Delicious.

Tonight, I'm going to present a dessert.

Look carefully at the photo below.




What is it? Maybe some of you have the answer. Would you share such a dessert with me?

... Cheese and brown baguette? 


Ps; just clarifying, i have nothing against the wine drinking or alcohol. It was just a joke.

Been quite busy since moving into an appartment.

Foodwise I've started drinking lots of my food instead of eating. There's liquid food replacements. I'm sure all of you normal food eaters would be confused what this could be. If it's any good and why on earth anyone would consume such a thing!

eatmetta (dot) com
was my selection as it claims to be somewhat local.
I use it mostly as a supplement or addition. But when I truly dont want to make any food I take that only.

It has both Home and Pro. Stock ISO for W11 22H2 Moment 2 was 5.1GB. After removal of unneeded editions/apps and updates it was 4.6GB. It has updated boot.wim and winre.wim along with new dynamic updates which improve OS install experience.

I forgot to ask: is it preactivated?

No. My ISOs were never preactivated.
