Uh the officer's life was at risk.

Are you implying the cop should have let the guy grab his gun?

Guy was a J6 rioter. By definition, stupid and crazy. Prone to making bad decisions, including a vocal declaration of suicidal intent to a police officer. What stops the guy from putting the gun to his head, then thinking "hey wait, I'm on Team Trump! Surely he'll pardon me for this too!" And then shooting the cop instead?

Should the cop have run away? Now you've got a J6 rioter with a gun in a stolen police cruiser.

Please run us through the scenario in which it's a good idea to let the mentally unstable rioter grab his gun.

And I'm not cheering the cop, either. I'm betting the cop is a fellow Republican, because...cop... but also because he foolishly trusted the J6 rioter to act reasonably and rationally. When the information presented by his computer stated this individual has a rap sheet and this situation was going to become an arrest, cop could have properly and immediately performed the arrest by standing between guy and car door then cuffing guy, thus not allowing guy the opportunity to make another stupid decision.

Cop treated this 70 in a 55 like it was a normal boring 70 in a 55 by a normal boring citizen, and this is what happened.

there is interest to pay on sleep debt

oh, that's good.

And the interest rate goes up, exponentially, with age.

And by age, I don't mean 30 or 40.

By 20 I was already feeling it, just wouldn't admit it.

By not detected I assume you mean it didn't auto-mount and show up in Nemo file browser. Maybe try running the Disks app in Linux Mint and see if your SD card shows up there and just needs to be reformatted?

Does your laptop have an SD card slot? Maybe you could do a backup that way?

Once you get your backup sorted I would just do a fresh install of 22.1 Xia. You'll be fine with that older hardware. I don't think the new stuff from 20.3 to 22.1 would make you notice a severe difference. If you have 4 GB of RAM that's your limiter, but I'd have said the same thing when 20.3 came out.

Every printer I can find is either formatted for A4/USA Letter, or little photo printers that probably require proprietary software which I doubt would work with regular text. I know some of those even require proprietary photo paper modules, which is why I gave up and never bought one.

I had a Canon ip100 years ago, I can recommend it and they still make a newer one, but it looks waaay bigger than your target size. Good luck

Depends how separate you want these.

One option is to make a second user in Mint, the OS level. This would isolate the Firefox settings for each username from each other. But this would also create separate home folders, so if you're regularly using the same files in your personal stuff and college stuff I could see that being annoying.

Second option is to install a second browser, and just use that browser for your college account. Personal logins in Firefox, and only the college account in Chrome or whatever.

Ridiculous comic, they forgot to include the mugger asking if the victim is in the rewards program.
