Parade du Grotesque

Pornitor! For all your… … … … “Viewing” needs.

Yeah, I should read what I write before posting… 😉

I have done quite a few martial arts. Anyone who tells you you can learn X and fight against someone who is armed (knife or gun) is simply spouting B.S.

If someone pulls out a gun on you, give that person what he wants and pray you are not going to end up shot anyway.

If someone pulls out a knife on you, again, don’t try to be a hero: give that person what he wants. Don’t play hero, especially if the guy holding the knife seems to know what he is doing.

Martial arts are just a way to train your body and your mind, both trainings are valuable in and out of themselves. They will keep you calm in a tense situation, they may even save your life since no one wants to mess with a dude that keeps his cool. Ultimately, a street fight can be avoided just by looking calm and composed.

How do I configure my Linux, on a laptop, to consume as little battery as possible?

A bit of context: one of my laptop ran Ubuntu, with acceptable battery drain (up to 3h30 of usage, running desktop applications: Firefox, terminal, vim, etc). This is a high-end laptop: 12 AMD Ryzen + AMD Rembrandt.

I switched to open use, and now battery drains in one hour, running the exact same applications. Installed tuned, selected power save, tried power top, applied different parameters, etc, but no result: battery still dies after 1h. No improvement at all.

I am going to investigate on my own, but any help is greatly appreciated.

There is a guy named Arthur David Olson who maintains a small database of all the time zones in the world, including things like leap seconds and such. It’s used by everybody and it is updated several times a year. See here:

I have Osmand+ and it works fine. One very easy way to improve the performance is to download the maps you need ahead of time.

Start by downloading your metro area and I can guarantee that positioning and navigation will be instantaneous. Unless your phone is to blame. FYI I am using a Google Nexus 7a. Very happy with Osmand+.

Please keep in mind I haven’t done any work on either for a few years now. I would definitely check if something is possible today… But with little hope. AWS support should be able to give you more infos on this connection (or lack thereof).

Worked on both AWS and GovCloud for a while, and there was NO communication between the two at the time.

GovCloud was its own thing, completely separate from regular AWS.

Probably because meat was only a small fraction of their diet.

Most cavemen were foragers, they would also fish, and look for a lot of things that were edible. Wild fruits and berries, roots, primitive plants ancestors of the ones that are now cultivated, etc.

Meat meant hunting, and hunting was dangerous, long and difficult. After a while, they would move on once game got rarer.

So, no, meat was not their only source of food.
