  • Lvm could be the way to go. Start with the minimum amount of partitions (i.e. / and /boot and swap as lv, maybe efi as a real partition). Add additional lv later if/ when you need them. You can always re-size a partition and the wrapping lv when you want to re- distribute storage-space.

    I never needed more than these partitions. But that is just my use case.

    Edit: oh. Missed the Multi boot point. Forget what I wrote. :)


  • When I imagine Ralph, I see an outsider who is avoided by the other children and ignored by the teachers, with a loving but somehow helpless father. …being lonely , not being part of the group, not understanding the rules of the world around him.

    I think it has to do with the need for attention and closeness. When you lack it, you turn to the person who has already fulfilled this need for you. It’s hard to live with unfulfilled needs that you can’t fulfill yourself. I guess the key is to learn how to find a relationship where your feelings are reciprocated (and to find out when they are not). I know that feeling and I don’t have a solution.

    I don’t know whether this is a characteristic that is more prevalent in autistic people.




  • That is a BMW E46 Generation 3-Series with the “Business CD” audio option which does include an AM/FM radio tuner…

    So they left out the receiver but kept the am fm button? They could have used a cover/ blind instead. Why wouldn’t they do that? We live in a strange world.

    …that being said you can clearly see it’s playing Track 11 of the CD…

    Good eye.

    …that being said I think “Radio” is commonly used generically for many devices playing audio content.

    I was previously under the impression that a device must at least be able to receive radio programs in order to be called a radio. But English is not my first language, so I could be wrong.

    So yer ma could be right that it is indeed just a CD player?




  • You seem ambivalent about the topic. I understand your arguments, but I don’t agree with your solution. That doesn’t need to bother you. We probably have very different requirements for transportation.

    I live in an area where I don’t need a car to get where I want to - bike, bus and train are sufficient. And I don’t normally need to transport so much that I need a car. And if I need a car I get a rental for a short time.

    Sometimes I shake my head a little in disbelief because I find the trend towards more individual transportation within large cars concerning. But then again my lifestyle isn’t for everyone and who am I to judge? (But I’m entitled to my own opinion. ;)







  • Information about categories of things

    Does this mean, having an in-depth knowledge about a certain topic (category) - the ‘special interest’ question?

    It doesn’t look like ‘do you like to categorise and structure things’, or does it?

    Slightly agree to the first: movie quotes, car makes and types, x86 CPUs of the 90s and early 2000s. Though I wouldn’t call it special interest.

    Agree to the second. Finding categories for a given set of items feels natural and makes life easier for me.




  • I wouldn’t know if I don’t notice it. So if I don’t see it… huh.

    I think I can tell, when I watch for hints like if the person is asking questions or adds something to the topic.

    Somehow I tend to be overly cautious to not talk about things that bore people - I don’t want to be annoying. And sometimes I don’t want to spend the energy to talk about a topic of the other isn’t interested. So it is the opposite?

    When I don’t pay close attention, when I feel the urge to tell something, to bring a point across or when I feel like talking about something, when it feels good to talk - then maybe.

    What is hard for me, is to establish a connection on a personal level and to really get to know someone. Or find appropriate topics to speak about. But that is not within the frame of the question.

    Isn’t the comfort zone all the activities/relationship you are comfortable with?

    I would define the zone as things I can do without forcing myself to do them. And that zone didn’t grow much for me over time.

    The things become easier to do, like the effort to do them goes from very hard to acceptable. But often I wouldn’t count them into the comfort zone, although it is easier to do them.

    Some aspects get easier with training and repetition (like social interactions. Knowing I was successful before, makes the next iteration easier.), some don’t (noisy and crowded environments stay… noisy and crowded).

    I could redefine comfort zone for me to make more things fit into it. And maybe I see it to dark. :)

    Finally, if getting out of your comfort zone have zero impact on said comfort zone, what’s the point of getting out of it?

    Sometimes it pays for rent and food. Sometimes it proves that I can do it. And most importantly it’s good for my mood. But comfort zone worthy… like relaxing on the couch having done all chores comfortable, it isn’t.
