  • Depends on the people. There aren’t any strict rules. Some people won’t, some will. Some might even end up in bed right after. As long as everyone involved is comfortable with it, it’s fine.

    If you aren’t comfortable with drinking on a first date, then don’t. If like me you never drink alcohol, then don’t.
    Also depends on the alcohol. Large difference between wine and vodka.

    But I haven’t ever dated either, so… Personally I can’t imagine any date that involves any drinks and food. Coffee, I don’t do that either. Tea? Down in one go. Water? Awkward, and also down in one go. Food? Can’t focus on anything else, gotta finish first.


















  • I connect to mine with a USB serial adapter, since my laptop doesn’t have one built-in, which I wish it did. Software-wise, I just use screen because I am lazy to use something like Minicom.

    Just don’t set any low baud rate for Linux. It will wait for logs to be printed out while booting. Though perhaps you can reduce the loglevel, I haven’t tried that. I’ve tried 300 baud for fun, and that wasn’t fun. I think it was over half an hour to boot up just waiting for logs to print.

    I honestly don’t remember what I did, but this lies in my /etc/default/grub and looks relevant:

    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="console=ttyS1,115200"
    GRUB_TERMINAL_INPUT="console serial"
    GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="gfxterm serial"
    GRUB_SERIAL_COMMAND="serial --unit=1 --speed=115200"
    

    Also it’s useful to then set width, height and terminal type. I think terminal type is in $TERM , and size is set with stty, but I am not sure. It’s been a while.

    You may also need a “null modem adapter” to reverse RX and TX, but oddly enough, that actually makes it not work with my adapter, despite it also working when directly connected to a switch. Maybe it can figure out which end it’s supposed to be? Dunno.
