When I was 16, I tried Ubuntu for fun and it was neat, but I didn't really get it. For some reason I really want to try Linux again. This next month (or more) I am going to give it ago. Does anyone have any tips or resources? I am going with Linux Mint.

One of the greatest images of Christmas cheer ever assembled from the flotsam and effluvia of our culture. (Also the cover of _Christmas Curiosities_ by John Grossman which is responsible for getting me into this in the first place.)


Critical Thinking by Richard Parker & Brooke Noel Moore, 2020

In this new edition the authors have expanded on how to improve information acquisitions skills and recognize dubious claims, gravely important in this current climate of “fake news.” In addition, they have revised and expanded the distinction between subjective judgments and objective claims and revamped their explanation of inductive reasoning into four different types.
