I don't remember, and any info I might provide would certainly be stale.

IIRC, The same things that you have to do to get Win11 run on older machines is the same thing you have to do to achieve dual-boot. Now, I would install Win first, on it's own physical drive, then Mint on it's own physical drive, with the Mint drive as primary and dual boot out of grub in the final config.... Never got win11 to see the Linux drive.

I achieved that with win11 too, but the FUD at the time was that win11 will not accept updates in that state - I assumed that to be FUD, because it was updating fine running bandit on old processors. But the FUD was eternal (undenied) and I got itchy about that... And I hated living in Win11, so I eventually went back to Win10. I am still not sure if setting up a bandit win11 causes actual updating and security issues.

Full disclaimer: This is a Windows house btw. I love Linux - Particularly BSD/Ubuntu/Mint, but I have to stay up to date on the tech side, and that means Windows and MS Office I currently have no standing Linux installations, and only my two test bench boxes dual-boot... Both of those are Win10/Mint.

I have a really old (bought in 2016, when it was low-end, still running a pentium 2-core cpu) 14" box that dual booted Win10 and Linux Mint.  I haven't run the Windows 10 installation for several years now.

The thing finally got too slow, even on Mint, for my tastes, so I just bought an open-box Lenovo Slim Pro 7 running AMD with a discrete NVidia graphics card and 16GB ram.  Only fly in the ointment is it came with Win11.

I'm running it on Win11 right now just so that I can say that I gave Win11 a shake - and I may end up having to know how to use it if/when my firm upgrades its systems to Win11 systems - but I intend to make it a dual boot system with Linux (probably Mint again) on its own separate ssd this time - just picked up a 1TB ssd for $70 - I can still remember when a 1GB hdd was heavy money.

TRUE. I am NOOB in VM. Messed with it some with VirtualBox... A very little bit with VMWare... I never really caught the magic, other than it was handy in Dev. My main gig is messin with hard files and real configuration, often hacking hard drives by hand to make them go again... All of that kinda requires a pretty clean machine running from BIOS because of the constant changes. I sling drives in and out like a mad man.

I keep threatening to wake up my Dev. My toybox is getting really old again. I swore I would never rewrite, but here I am again. The last time, that took a long year. If I finally have to, well I guess my dev box will be VM capable.

WSL is part of Windows environment (does take an install) so you don't need VMWare or the like.

Yes, giving away money borrowed on the backs of OUR grandchildren we desperately need to protect OUR sovereignty is insanity.


Sorry but you support a guy who is not known to show fiscal restraint

Agreed, and as one would expect, she's lost any chance for a higher office.

Maybe so. But I bet she can write her own ticket in South Dakota, or any of the Midwestern and Western states.

Folks outside the city understand what she said. It's the urbanites that throw a hissy.

 :bkmk:

???? So if the CIC has the Constitutional powers over the military how can the military brass revoke those powers?

What am I missing here or not understanding???

My rancher son-in-law has had to stick his entire arm in a cow’s hoohaw to pull out a calf in distress. There ain’t no time to wait for a vet. He’d lose both cow and calf. Every single cattle owner has had to do this at one time or another.
Ranchers love their cattle.  They are devoted to their cattle. Most vets in rural America understand this and will do whatever they can to assist the rancher in becoming somewhat self-sufficient.

Completely different set of facts.  These weren't two emergency responders reacting to a cow in distress.  These were two "former ranchers" who set up a business to ultrasound cattle to see if they were pregnant.  Apples should be compared to apples, not oranges.

It's a bad idea, but until it's repealed, the GOP needs to make maximum use of it, just as the democrats/crypto-fascists do.

    Both men had sought the advice of an attorney regarding the case and had been told that the Veterinary Medical Board had no jurisdiction over them, that the subpoena was therefore invalid, and that there was nothing Ethan and Rusty needed to do.

    There is no evidence that Ethan or Rusty ever saw the order the state claims to have mailed to them last August which threatened them with arrest if they did not comply. Ethan and Rusty were unaware that this was a possibility. It was a complete shock to them and to their families when they were arrested.

He explained his clients were "denied the ability to see the case against them or NoBull Solutions because the state had the docket sealed and hidden – a highly unusual move."

He said, "It gives the appearance that the intent was to secretly establish an excuse to arrest them and shut down NoBull Solutions without due process."
