Hahahaha!

Your use of the semicolon is most desirable and appreciated; however, you didn't include any periods in your quatrain.

While I am open to grammatical correction, I feel that perhaps a study in the use of commas is possibly something to be considered.

...and don't get me started on "you" as opposed to "your".

"Thread derailing detritus"

Hahaha!   What a great title! Hahahahaha!

However; if using proper English grammar, it should adhere to proper capitalization for the title.

"Thread Derailing Detritus".

Here's one just for golinux...

Q. What do computers snack on?

A. Microchips.

You know you're still going to read it.

It's like driving. You see a wreck, or you see someone pulled over by the police.

You can't help yourself. You have to stop and stare...and wonder what's going on.

I was an adolescent once, but those days are behind me.

If you respond to this, I'll know you continued reading the thread...

Tee hee...

My friend and I were talking, and he said that life...its purpose...its meaning is an enigma.

I said, "What? I don't understand."

If you've never tried Archery blindfolded...

...you don't know what you're missing.

I went up to a street vendor and asked for a foot-long hot dog.

He said, "Okay. It won't be long."

So I asked, "Why? Is it stacked?"

In a panic, I went to the doctor yesterday.

I said, "Doc, I'm really worried. I think I'm shrinking."

He said, "Settle down. You just need to learn how to be a little patient."

A salesman wanted to sell me a coffin yesterday.

I said, "Man, that's the last thing I need."

People today are too judgmental.

I can tell just by looking at them.

Here is a list of Devuan repository mirrors...

https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/mirror_list.txt

When I have this issue...

1. I un-comment the mirror (from that list) that I've chosen for my geographical area
2. Comment out the deb.devuan.org repo
3. Run an apt-update
4. Run apt-upgrade (if needed)...

Perhaps seeing my /etc/apt/sources.list will help to make what I've described more clear???
