  • What a weird thing to be bothered by; Americans are so… shuffles deck…dumb with sports team names. I’ve seen quite a few like this lately, it’s kinda funny.

    Anyway, I’ll admit there are some dumb names, especially in semi pro but how can you argue names like Raiders, Patriots, Eagles, 76ers, 49ers, Rangers, Trailblazers, etc. My personal stupid favorites are the Lakers (as in bodies of water) from Los Angeles, they moved from Minneapolis in the 60s and then the Utah Jazz, um Utah…Jazz? Yeah, they moved from New Orleans in the 70s. You’d be hard pressed to find any natural lakes in LA and I’d guess the jazz scene in Utah is underwhelming (never been there myself).

    US cities don’t buy teams. Rich fucks do and move them to what they presume to be a more profitable and/or friendly market.

    What’s hilarious to me about US sports is the soccer (yes, in the US it’s called soccer, I don’t make the rules) teams trying so hard to act like they’re European teams. Cmon folks, you aren’t an FC, you’re an SC.


  • I appreciate the reply, I’ll have to try that. I ran some other fix commands earlier but haven’t tested with a reboot yet. If the pc tries to boot to windows (without Grub), I literally have to power off the psu until the cmos clears, then turn back on in order to get to the boot menu. Win 10 once had a uefi setting console, but it’s no more, apparently. If my earlier commands or your fix doesn’t work, bye windows.

    Edit: neither worked. Efibbootmgr WILL move Mint up in the boot order but windows always stays on top. Figures. I thought about deleting the windows boot Mgr entry, but I’m not sure what that would do. Making the winbootmgr inactive fails. Idk.

    Edit2: I decided fuck it; deleted the windows entry in efibbootmgr. Seems to have fixed it. I can still boot to windows if I choose but the select OS option comes up by default now. Yay. It appears winbootmgr has reinserted itself in efibootmgr but as a lower priority than Mint. Oddly, I’m still getting a “Grubx64.efi not found” message for half a second before the OS select comes up. I can live with that unless it’s a sign of problems to come?
