Just found out that somebody on Reddit gave Elon Musk the nickname: PayPalpatine. 
Thatās all.

Lately Iāve been having my hands feel like theyāre going to sleepā¦ Feelings of numbness, some slight tingling. I get it in my wrists too. Itās not carpal tunnel syndrome, although I can get that leaving my wrists on the desk while using a keyboard after so many minutes. This can happen when I donāt have my wrists resting on anything but still using my hands in some way.
Iām hoping itās, at best, just a B12 deficiency (as well as some other nutrients/vitamins). Next best (or worst?) thing would be a pinched nerve. Worst possibility is some kind of disease. But, again, Iāve only had this in my hands and wrists, not my feet or legs.
Just a side noteā¦ For quite a while Iāve had some stiffness in my neck. Sometimes I feel like Iād need a strap put on one side close to my shoulder, then my head pulled the other way. Another thing I feel like I should try is hanging by my hands like I was going to do chin-ups, but no lifting, just hanging thereā¦ I guess to take some pressure off my spine (if thatād even help).

have you switched diet to vegetarian/vegan? that can definitely cause a b12 deficiency. howās your stomach feeling? could be Helicobacter pylori infection that blocks b12 too.
it could also just be nothing. bodies are weird.

I havenāt switched to veg onlyā¦ Not yet, at least. My stomach? Most of the time it feels okay. I did feel like I was slightly car-sick last night (while at work)ā¦ I am pretty sure my gallbladder isnāt doing too great, but maybe thatās a whole other thing apart from whatever this is.
I did take 2x B12 tablets (2,500 mcg) before I went to work at 11 p.m. Four to five hours later, I still had some slight tingling in my arms and hands. But within the last couple of hours, Iāve been doing some yard work (cutting vines with sheers, a machete, and a small saw), and Iāve had no instances of numbness.
Once a year my health insurance sends me kits to take aā¦ sampleā¦ to send back and have tested. Seems like they could check for Helicobacter pyloriā¦ or detect it if I do have it.
So last night I shutdown my PC and let it update. This morning I saw a new icon in my taskbar.
I opened it up and saw they added an āAi companionā to my pc during the update.
I hate the AI hype so damn much. Companies wonāt stop trying to shove AI features down my throat that nobody asked for.

Thatās been annoying me for two years now. Between chat-bots and fake images, Iāve just taken to reporting every āAIā generated image I see as fraud or copyright infringement and disabling everything else I can.

Just found out Alien Romulus is still in theatres near me apparently, gone out to see it tonight with my Dad!
(Also theyāre also showing a 3D screening of Deadpool and Wolverine still, which is kinda surprising)

I went in for jury duty this morning. 
Iāve had jury duty a few times before, but never made it out of the boring waiting area. (My first time was even back in the days when they made you show up at the courthouse every day for a week.)
This time I got called up to an actual courtroom with an actual judge, got picked for the first of three trials and went through the rigors of voir dire. (It was mostly group questions like āDo any of you know any of these people?ā āHave any of you been involved in this type of case?ā)
Assuming they donāt reach a plea deal, the trial starts in two weeks. (Theoretically, itāll only last a day.)
Also, today I learned that juries, at least in misdemeanor cases in Michigan, only have seven people.

Life doesnāt always go the way you expect it to, and as a reflection of that Iāll be continuing my bachelor studies in Shahid Beheshti university of Tehran, majoring in computer science.

My first choice was computer engineering (made up of software, hardware and informatics) but hey this is cool and bit more āinternationalā.

I found Computer Science to be a nice mix of programming and hardware and it provided a really good background on how and why computers work the way they do. Of course that was a few decades ago (the 386 was till a āmodernā processor) so it may be different now.

Death, Taxes, and the inevitability that an always-online game will distrupt a whole group of peopleās user experience at some pointā¦
sigh
ā¦on a random Sunday in October, 4 years after a gameās launch.
Pleeease Iām really hoping thereās a plan to let the game run with most of its features offline next year. So we can be done with this contentious āfeatureā of WoAā¦

Whatās going on, since the most recent patch thereās been several instances where the servers have gone down, theyāre significantly more common than they have been in the past

Did that btw, works nice. I noticed most Linux programs you find online are more often for Ubuntu-based distros and Nobara is Fedora-based, so I actively need to search for that. Made it a bit tricky to install the Signal messenger but so far I had only joy with Linux. Donāt know why I did not switch earlier.

Each Linux distro should have an app downloader / manager so no need to search aimlessly for a program 
This is the one for Mint
I know but it did not contain Signal sadly as it does not exist for the distro officially. But got it working with Snap.
