  • Pretty sure all they need over them is that Europe as a whole imports a lot of diesel, and they get half of that from the US. Trump has threatened to stop exports to try to lower US fuel prices for the election. If he does, Europe would be scrambling. It’s hardly a surprise that they don’t want the US to turn off the taps. It’s also not a surprise that the US is selling fuel they need, since that keeps their oil companies happy.

    I have an older PC running as a file server using an Asus mobo raid controller that I’ve been afraid of updating. It also is the newest PC I have that still has an optical drive. I found some old discs I wanted to recover the data from, but Windows decided it could see the optical drive and assign it a drive letter, was happy with the driver, but did not want to actually read any discs. Fortunately, I too had a Cinnamon Mint USB on my desk, and a very old laptop with an optical drive that had an unbootable Windows 7 install on it. Fired it up and had it on the network and copying files from a DVD-R to my NAS in just a few minutes! Laptop is now running Mint and performs well :)




  • The smell comes from a person’s saliva which often gets spewed into the air after a sneeze. The droplets hang in the air a long time. Some peoples’ sneezes have a sickly sweet odour that smells the same as honey to me. Other sneezes don’t smell like much of anything to me though. I don’t know if I’m smelling an infection byproduct, a food, or maybe a lack of hydration causing their saliva to have a strong smell, but it always smells the same to me. As for taste? I think I’d rather not explore that. I imagine it might taste like it smells, so like honey.
