$70k in my area in NC. It’s a lovely 2bd/1ba, and can keep the rain off your head (mostly). It totally wouldn’t be condemned if actually inspected.

That if you know how to code, you understand how computers work and understand really complicated math concepts.

It took me way longer to realize an article about how Alaskan airlines was giving passengers a pass to bring your own pocket tools on one of their flights that it really should have. My only real excuse was that the site wasn’t the onion.

Hail Santa

I could go to a community college around me (I know they teach it), but scheduling it around work might take some work. You know, I think I might actually look and see if they have an occasional weekend course. I don’t have to be a professional welder, just good enough.

That’s an idea! I’d want to make sure I had proper safety equipment, but that might be an plan when I have some time.

Welding. Just useful for occasional projects, and would be nice to know I could weld something if necessary.

A lot factory farming is absolutely cruel yes, but production of plenty of animal based products doesn’t necessarily have to be. I’ve raised chickens before, eggs generally tasted better and the chickens were treated like pets (they weren’t meant for their meat). It’s a spectrum, the goal as a vegetarian is to reduce harm.

A bit of a dark shower thought, but wouldn’t this whole terrible situation really, really benefit China who has a larger male to female population as a whole?

What budget?

The problem with that is that phevs are surprising expensive/heavy/complicated. It’s why Chevy discontinued the volt over the bolt. And why the chevy had to cut a lot of costs on the volt to get it down to a semi-acceptable price (the volt didn’t even have power seats except on the Premier, and only on the drivers side).

My luck I’d delete what I wrote to rewrite it and forget something.

Don’t forget braces {} if you have an especially rambling sub thought.

Lucky. It’s $3.20 a gallon (around $0.85 a liter), were I live in the southeast US, drive around 60 miles a day at 25mpg, so a generally around $7-8 day (I drive an older car, and don’t live too close to work), or $40-50 a week. Plus around 5-7hrs worth of driving a week.

You have the freedom to customize it how you want. The downside is that you have to customize and install everything yourself. A happy compromise is to get an arch based distro which handles a lot of the main stuff, my current favorite is endevour os.

Depends on what I am listening to and doing. I usually like magnetic neckband headphones if I am moving around and maybe listening to a book, but prefer iems or openbacks if I am listening to music.

It generally is. Just make sure to know what model you want, and to make sure that the bios isn’t locked (computrace basically bricks them if enabled).

They have great Linux support, generally are pretty repairable (they will have repair manuals and extra parts for you to order), and they are usually lease laptops, which means if you don’t mind getting a used laptop you can get top of line laptops from a few years ago for a fraction of what they are worth. I’ve gotten thinkpads for years, generally only spending up around $200 on a laptop I use for a few years quite comfortably.

There were a few Motorola smartphones that did that actually. It worked quite well tbh.

As a north Carolinian, yep. It sucks more every time you go to the polls.
