    One thing that Linux has over Windows is the software/applications app. Being able to find something in a marketplace for your computer is amazing. The Microsoft store if chock full of garbage that it unusable.

    Lit’s album, Atomic, is probably my favorite album of all time. Not only did it get a featured track on one of the best movies ever, it’s songs have hit with me at all stages of my life.

    In the Tau it is the space between things that has value. Its not the walls of the house that has value, its the things and people inside it. Its not the spokes of a wheel that creates its value, its the space between that makes it a circle.
