Quantitative analysis flashbacks form this, I learned the fastest way to figure out how much reactant you need to figure out the tipping point of the ph was to just run quickly adding large jumps of aloquates on the first attempt ,let it turn dark, then on the next one go ahead and add a safe amount of reactant I found from the first attempt then go super slow with the drip rate after. Was pretty consistently one of the first to leave lab

Good, fuckin hit us where it hurts (money) and show dipshit why you don't start tariff wars.

Was he the one caught smoking crack?

Am chemist can confirm, I would look at a coworker real funny if they said un-ionized

So I'm newer to Linux as a whole so some of this maybe a bit off but:

Immutable distros big difference is you can't mess with the root partition ( you can there are just more steps involved), it's read only. The advantage to this is it's harder to fuck up your system, and it's described as more secure. The downside is if you need a program that isn't available in a flatpack, snap, or app image it's a pain in the ass. Bazzite ships with distrobox which essential allows you to run a different distro in a container to use programs available to that distro, ex: you can run the Debian version of Firefox on a fedora system. Not all issues can be avoided with this, compiling code for instance is still a nightmare with distrobox

Now the good things: no live updates so an update won't get messed up from a live install The system will update in the background and then when you fire it up next time THEN you are in the updated version. Bazzite is atomic specifically (an immutable subset) that applies updates all at once or not at all if it fails, you can also always roll back to a previous version at the GRUB menu. After it updates to the new image it then applies the local personal layers, so every update it kinda like starting with a fresh install

The main thing to look for is that any apps you want to use are supported in a flakpack, if all you are doing is gaming then you shouldn't have to worry, both lutris and steam come with bazzite

Here is a link to a Lemmy post with community opinions on immutable distros

Dude bazzite is the shit, I have it installed for my gaming PC. I don't think I will use a mutable distro for a gaming rig again

I hope to never use them against a person

Me too. The absolute last thing I want, again as a staunch gun advocate, is to ever have to use it in a real life situation for about a half dozen reasons.

I took a concealed carry class to get my permit some years ago, which I recommend even if your state doesn't require a CC permit. They had a retired sheriff and a lawyer for two of the instructors, they went through multiple scenarios of both when do you use it and what will happen afterward. I NEVER want to have to fire a firearm in self defense, I will but I literally have to feel like my life or the life of someone else is in IMMEDIATE danger. Even then you run the risk of missing and hitting an innocent bystander, police typically only have a 70% hit rate across 2 shots (unverified, could be wrong).

God damn right! If you are new to guns though please go take a safety class first, the hunter safety course (even if you don't hunt) is a wonderful intro imo, and typically free/cheap. Took it when I was 11ish and it did a great job getting me in the mindset of always being conscious of where I point the muzzle of my firearms.

All this is from a pretty staunch gun advocate too (although I am extremely open to and encourage discussions around how to regulate them a bit more).

I had a point in here somewhere but I’m so tired i lost it so feel free use your imagination

Fuck I feel this, I have to delete comments halfway through writing them sometimes because I meandered too far from the original point and forgot was I was trying to say

The whole point of Linux is to tinker

Fair enough but the sole reason I went to Linux is because I despise Microsoft. I wanted a less bloated, not ad ridden, and more customized( mainly just the GUI) experience that gave me more control over my PC. Now I only use this PC for gaming and streaming, so really I just want those two things to work with as little fiddling as possible. Obviously everyone's use case is different and immutable is definitely not a good choice for power users (from what I've read).

Gotcha I was just wondering what the limitations are, I'm still messing with and I've not hit one yet but I was curious where they pop up. So for devs immutable distros don't play well, that definitely makes sense!

That makes sense, bazzite is referred to as atomic (that's what I meant in the above comment about atomic being more appropriate, forgot to add that context though lol) specifically instead of immutable. Bazzite updates like you said and you can always roll back, thank you for the explanation!
