Wood splitting is a good way to vent stress.

No one would dare talk to someone who's pissed and with an axe in their hands.

You split wood with a maul, not an axe.

Using an axe to split wood is just stupid, requiring the axe to be resharpened more than necessary. For small amounts, I won't argue that most homeowners will just use an axe though.

And yes, I do know as I did it for a living for 3 months in 1991 in Bellingham, Washington. Lumberjack, firewood splitting, transport of cords of wood.

Quite true,.. a maul or sledge and wedge.. Axe for limbing or felling...

My kids are hardly ever off their screens... Youtube on the laptop, something video on iPad.. or Xbox... Way to much electronic radiation ,... but it's also about 25deg outside... and no snow.. so nothing to really do.

sigh,.. in my day- we had to split wood so we didn't freeze... different times.

Well... If you have a fire place...

back then.. yea,.. b ut that was.... nearly 40 years ago.. now I have a ventless gas, and will likely add one more for the basement. I so miss a true fireplace. and yes,.. sometimes the wood splitting.

@scottalanmiller said in Ubuntu: history -c doesn't clear:

Chances are you have another terminal open. history -c clears the file out, but any open BASH session will immediately repopulate it with the in memory history cache.

I wondered that a few months ago,.. how did the commands in one term list when more than one was open... it joins it.

This is with just one term window is open and even after a reboot.

Weirdly - even before upgrading to 18.10, history -c wasn't clearing the list.

Now, even 18.10 history -c still does not clear the history.

@scottalanmiller said in Ubuntu: System Program Problem detected:

That's a desktop pop up, but Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. Why the combination of old Ubuntu, but a desktop?

Why 18.04 -

Well,.. very long obtuse story cut short. having re-installed Ubuntu a time or two due to software / boot issues, I hadn't upgraded to 'save time and stress.' I felt not push to upgrade to 18.10 if I had to yet again kill and install the system. However, things appear stable - so upgrading currently.

I do see on the article, that the crashes could be past - and as such, i can delete the files (several days old) and move on.

Found this thread - and looked in the /var/crash folder

(posting from two machines)

@scottalanmiller

It does not.

Here of late, when I boot, I get this pop up.

System is updated and I don't recall any other errors during use.
