  • Just switch to visual mode and select the text and yank it.

    Press v where you want to start the selection from (switches to visual mode), hjkl (or arrow keys) to move the cursor to the end, then you can yank it from there. It’ll highlight what you’re selecting just like you’re using your mouse, but you’re using the keyboard.

    If you want to get really fancy there are 3 different kinds of visual mode, but lower case is the most often one that I use because it’s char by char, V is line by line, Ctrl+v is “block” (you can select chunks across several lines omitting things at the beginning or end of lines).

    Ctrl+V to do the block mode is nice if you need to edit the same part of several lines that all line up vertically, you just Ctrl+v, jk to select the lines, then I (shift+i) to insert on all those lines (if you’re in vim you can delete things in insert mode also, if you’re in vi you’ll need to delete first then insert)





  • Counter strike 2, released recently and runs on Linux, I can’t say that the people you’ll meet on that will be that great all the time, but you may be able to meet people there.

    You might also be able to meet people in RuneScape or old school RuneScape, or other MMO type games, usually they have clan features where you can join a group of players.

    Not sure if it’s still busy with players but kingdom of loathing also at least used to have players you could chat with live, and could join a clan or something like that in there.





  • Be aware that the flames from a gas burner can go up around a small pot if they’re turned up to high, so always double check that your pot is centered and the flames are on the bottom of the pot only and not going up the sides, to prevent accidents.

    For similar reasons, don’t leave wooden spoons in pots or pans unattended, my mom has a couple wooden cooking spoons that have burnt divots in the handle from being left in a pan or pot.

    And maybe be a touch more careful when adding liquids to oil or using spray oils, they can and will flare up, unlike an electric where you can slop oil all over the surface and be mostly fine with just some smoke.
