    "Into the Wild" by Jon Krakauer. I read it in high school so maybe I wouldn't hate it as much as I do if I wasn't forced to read it, but the plot is basically about a booksmart kid who decides to leave his rich parents and society behind to live in remote Alaska. The book follows Chris McCandless along his journey from the Eastern part of the country, through the South, and finally up the West coast and to Alaska (hitchhiking mostly). When he gets to Alaska, instead of actually being prepared and realizing the risk, he goes into "Into the Wild" incredibly unprepared - he ends up having to stay at his remote camp well into the spring because he didn't consider all the snow melting would render the river blocking his path back to society completely uncrossable. He ends up dying because he ruins most of a moose by failing to properly smoke the meat, and eats a poisionous plant out of desperation. Obviously this could have been avoided by just doing the proper research or bringing extra food (he only brought a few pounds of rice, and the guy who drove him to his final stop literally told him it was a bad idea to do this with so few supplies and only a .22 rifle). Basically his horrible death could have been easily avoided if he wasn't such an idiot.

    The author clearly had a ton of respect for the guy, because he spent a year or two peicing all this together. He spoke about Chris (the unprepared trancendentalist wannabe) with a great deal of reverence, acting like he was a martyr for a cause unclear to me. Why you would want to spend years of your life in an attempt to immortalize an idiot, I am not sure. The author also decided to randomly interrupt the main story with a few chapters about his own moronic adventures, which made an already bad book worse.

    Does anyone know what the requirement is to be considered an active user? Does this count lurkers who don't post or does simply viewing content include them? Sorry if this is answered somewhere else, I'm just curious and lazy

    "Now go - don't go. Now go. Now go" -Brians soundboard of Nogla on death run. The cherry on top is Moo absolutely losing his mind failing the obstacle in the background.

    Speaking of not being able to do obstacles, Marcel being unable to do the knife obstacle stands out.

    Vanoss fooling wildcat in guess who by duisuising as a hunter and wildcat tries to sodoku him is hysterical... most of the sodoku moments are great

    Its been a while since I went back and watched some of their older studd, but I'm sure there are a ton I'm forgetting.

    I don't know anything about Linux and the idea of installing it frightens me. Where do I start?

    Installing linux is actually very easy and painless depending on your distro choice. What do you need your computer to do? Your choice of distro would depend on the answer to that question so we cant advise any further.

    I had to turn it off because I was accidentally upvoting almost every time I had to scroll. It would be a great feature if the sensitivty would be adjusted, or if there was a setting to do it yourself!

  • Hello everyone - I have been wanting to ditch windows on my gaming pc for a while now, and since I have recently finished a large project, I now have the free time to switch. I am relatively comfortable with Debian having used it for a while on my web server as well as school laptop, but I am concerned about using it on my gaming computer since I have heard stock Debian is not the greatest for gaming. All of my other daily driver programs I know will work, so I am mainly concerned with the gaming aspect. In the case that you don't recommend Debian for my gaming computer, do you have an OS that you would recommend? I appreciate any insight!
