The crazy moment was when one kid was about 10 years old and he busted open the terminal without promoting to get something done. He already knew it was faster and more powerful so he just started learning the tools.

I danced a little jig in my head once I realized what had just happened.

That's the Mint classic option and a great one. It's an easy mainline go to for users with all the basics baked in.

I'm a die hard Linux user. I don't spend much time telling people about it outside of actual tech conversations that should include the topic. I did raise my kids with a lot of Linux desktop use on their machines. They uniformly find the Windows 10/11 experience to be horrible, so I guess I've managed success on that front.

Mint is my go to Linux desktop distribution. There's plenty of solid choices, but it's served me well ever since Crunchbag Linux closed up shop.

Is there a source for the data? I'd love to include the charts in some materials we're building for transit advocacy, and knowing the sources would help ensure successful distribution.

Have groups of quadcopters/does fly down streets over cars stuck at stoplights and show ads and/or play ads at them.

You could wait for the light to go red, then form up in a wall over the crosswalk to show the drivers waiting down the street your ad. They're just going to be looking at the stoplight anyway, so that's free eyeball time, right?

I had the same arc with MarioKart. The first years were all fun, then they started rolling and I had to start pushing to keep up. Now? They're almost all adults so it's a real fight to pull wins and I couldn't be prouder!

It's wonderful how included and valued nerdiness is these days. Being interested in anything non mainstream in the conformist 80's was hell outside of a tight friend group.

I used WSL for a job and it worked fine. It's kind of a weird VM that doesn't really integrate with the host OS fully, but it works for many use cases.

Git BASH has more direct system integration and hardware access than WSL, though it's been a couple of years since I had to look at WSL at all. Hopefully they've improved the integration over time.

There's all kinds of wacky taxes, regulations, and barriers to prevent the US industry from having to compete with the world. One such example is the Chicken Tax:

That one keeps the Toyota Hilux out of the US.

What?!?

I looked it up and you can. I'll have that fired up with their docker image in no time. Thank you for the pointer.
