That is a surprisingly strong recommendation. I’m glad everyone was safe, keep it shiny side up.

Thanks for the review; I’m glad it’s working out well for you. Time for me to meander out for a test drive.

Oh, that’s really handy to know. Thanks!

How do you like it? It’s on my short list for my next car.

Updated to add, I’ve been using this method for about 20 years at this point and it has worked well across a variety of employment and family situations, including when I was doing shift work that varied seasonally, unemployed, and in a multi-family household. Knowing what my monthly burn rate is and being able to easily experiment with different scenarios by copying my budget to a new tab is so useful.

I use a spreadsheet, following the method outlined in this deck. I’d be happy to answer any questions you have about it. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1KWMaKKUYPGuuxnQa10Yfzryy5JQsplmvhVtGbajm9is/

What? I love spending my day going to meetings where I’m quizzed about things that won’t matter next week and writing Jira tickets.

Ah, but you also have to consider the amount of heating and cooling you’re doing. Assuming that you’re comfortable at a normal room temperature of 70F, that’s 30 degrees of cooling from triple digits, but 61 degrees from single. And, you’re also going to want to take into consideration the heat of fusion of water as you are melting whatever ice comes which raises the amount of energy required even more.

Triple digits. Air conditioning works well and is more energy efficient than heating.

Ubuntu is good, actually. It has basically the widest out of the box hardware and software support of any distribution, a decent default UI and an easy installer. Its downsides are that it has a reputation as baby’s first Linux so you don’t get any hipster cred and some people don’t like that it uses snap as a package format for some things, including Firefox.

I’m pretty certain the first computer I installed Linux on was a Pentium 75 with 4MB of RAM. I know I ran it on some 486s booting off floppys at work. We were at 10,000 feet and couldn’t trust the lifespan of spinning rust.

I got a Bosch a year ago and love it. Super quiet, super clean. But my favorite feature is that it cracks the door open after running so that every has a chance to air dry. I run it at night and when I wake up everything is fury dry, even plastic containers.

Blue cheese or ranch dressing.

I would guess pretty good. If something happens once it could be a fluke. If it happened twice, well, it probably happened a lot more than that.

Found the person from Europe a non shithole country.

Poly culture is a shared google doc and calendar for planning time with partners.

It is crazy to me that I can just walk down the street to a store, buy some pot and wave at a cop on the way out. Even crazier is that my kids schools fundraising auction has weed gift baskets donated every year from the local dispensaries.

Buttermilk roasted chicken is delicious, so I assume it’s a similar lactose reaction. And you’d use goats milk because you have goats.

It’s a cat and mouse game, at best. If you have a tool that can reliably detect AI slop, then that tool can be used as part of the training process to fool the detection tool.
