    The way I heard it the insurance companies lobbied for seatbelt laws.

    Something about if you die in an accident the payout could be larger than if you survived.

    Opposite for motorcycles and helmets. On a bike you aren’t eligible for the same death payout as someone in a car so it’s cheaper if you die.

    Again this is just how I heard it and I’ve never cared enough to actually look into any of this at all but on the surface and seems plausible.


  • would consider myself very much a noob and I’m bumbling my way through it. Just kinda worked my way through it and pretty sure I broke my mint install a bit before hopping to EndeavorOS and will probably break this one before I’m done as well.

    That is so bizarre to me. According to this article, Destiny 2 was already playable on Linux when it was officially ported to Google Stadia, and no one, not even Bungie, can explain why they won’t support it on Linux or Steam Deck, much less ban a player for trying. That’s crazy.

    Yeah I have no idea either. From what I’ve seen online it’s something to do with the anti cheat battleye but that runs on Linux so it’s basically just them telling the Linux community to go pound sand.


  • Can’t answer your question since it’s not something I ever thought about but I recently, within the last 2 weeks, started the same thing. I tried Mint and EndeavorOS so far and honestly I probably won’t leave EndeavorOS again. I installed it first. Confused the fuck out of myself because years ago I use Ubuntu so I had that like hard coded in me and couldn’t get my head around arch. After playing with Mint for a week or so I’m back on EndeavorOS and I love it. I really really want to switch my main PC over but I have a Plex server and audio book shelf server running there as well as atleast 1 game that playing on Linux just isn’t possible since Bungie will ban you for running destiny 2 on Linux.
