I got dengue last year.
Intense weakness and pain for a week.
Don’t recommend.
I feel some good starts could be Martin Luther’s “Small Catechism” and “On Christian Liberty”.
Edit: maybe a bible studies group of an historical church (Lutheran, Presbyterian, Catholic, Orthodox, etc. )

IIRC one book says that hobbits still exist, but got smaller, and too shy to appear.
Dwarves just died off, too few children.
It is a nice backpack tho…
Why this controversy now? Tools like StyleGAN could do this for years already.
To be a little bit more fair, he also put some people he did like in hell.
And the “lost love” does criticize and accuse him a few times.
Not disagreeing.
Little Big Adventure 2 helped me with English.
I watched the prequels first as a child. I still like Jar Jar.
Should report trump for being an Antichrist

Now if only Macron stopped blocking the EU-Mercosur trade deal…
Here in Brazil voting is legally considered a duty, not a right, nobody gets to not vote unless they have adequate justification, otherwise there’s a fine.
I don’t think it’s relevant, I can use CLI and terminal just fine and if it’s required to do my job then so be it.
It’s a preference, and I may complain about it on social media, but I know things are how they are and I’m not so hung up on it as to let it affect my work.
Worst case I would take a few minutes between tasks to quickly whip up a GUI helper, but I think that in 10 years I only did it 2 or 3 times.
For CLI programs I agree, but I’ve come across GUI programs for which the official installation instructions were CLI only (like Android Studio).
I’m not GUI-only, I just strongly prefer it. My CV does contain me having years of experience developing GUI programs.
Yes, eventually I learned how, but the vast majority of tutorials on how to install or do anything on Linux jump straight into it.
And as a software developer, a lot of tools I come across don’t have an official non-terminal installation option.
Yes, I eventually managed to learn how to do most stuff without the terminal, but almost all “How to do Whatever on Linux” tutorials immediately jump into it.
I know the terminal is more distro-agnostic, but even the distro-specific tutorials do it.

Well, the Christian faith is that He is alive right now, and also as God has omniscience.
