If you accept this one anecdote of an ambulance being stuck in NY, then you have to accept my anecdote that everyone in the PNW moves over to let ambulances through no problem.

It’s not all the same.

And WireGuard so you’re always on that same network.

Once you get a little more comfortable with Linux, there’s some cool things you can do, such as convert an old laptop into a 100% pure writing-only device using a couple pieces of software, a simple startup script, and a barebones Debian installation. One such project has been created to help automate that process: tinkerwriterdeck What’s cool about something like this is that it doesn’t have a typical desktop experience, it’s exclusively used for writing and nothing else. Use a USB drive to save / load files, and it becomes a modern typewriter appliance with no internet to distract.

I still think I’ll stick with nala as my apt front-end but hopefully this will be a more robust backend.

$118/mo for 1200 down 35 up, copper. On a “contract” to get $30 off but added the $30 no data cap add on so it’s a wash, but at least it doesn’t double because we use ~4TB/mo data. This is in North America.

Just puts(“I’m a teapot”); :)

N64 games regularly cost in the range of $60 to $80 in the mid 90s. In today’s dollars, games would need to be double that to match the same cost. Just because the price goes up a little in the last 10 years, doesn’t change the fact that games are at a historic low cost. There are reasons to be upset about how far (or not) your hard earned dollars can go today, but video game prices are not one of them, objectively.

Yup. Dotcom and Housing crisis saw the entire market drop over 50% each in ~3 years until lowest point, but since the 90s, the market has only gone up overall… 3000%. This is a blip, enjoy the sale.

The only safe way to fly is to not fly.

It’s not birth control.

You can also try being a crosswalk, stairs, bicycle, or even a hill.

Abstinence is not birth control.

That’s like saying the only way to build a house that doesn’t fall down is to not build the house.
