I’ve always felt discord was way too ephemeral and caused a lot of question to be re-asked over and over.

I am so glad I wasn’t drinking something when I read that.

Make me look like Mr Clean.

Consequently I have not been to a hair salon in 30 years, a razor in the shower is all I need. Although one day I would like to have the whole hot towel shaved head treatment at a professional barber.

My main issue was it doesn’t play well with Macs.

So in another 115 years they’ll be the same agar?

The “be on the street to greet her as her Uber arrives” is a giant red flag by itself. It’s about her controlling you. You should run, believe me.

Oh I have. And I have never gotten a notification. 😒

I’d love a dream router … if they were ever in stock. Instead they all end on eBay for $100 more than retail. Wonder why that is? (Fucking scalpers)

I just realized that being a grandparent is like having a cute kid on timeshare.

This seems like a no-brainer. A simple case-by-case basis seems very reasonable. I mean I bet they’d allow her to have a motorized wheelchair. And that’s got a throttle and no pedal assist. Plus don’t fuck with the ADA … that’s just wrong.

I bet all those NYC bike messengers love this.

Well true but I was assuming the circuits had some things drawing a little power. Flipping on a device and tripping a breaker with 12 machines on it wouldn’t be ideal :)

I have done this before in my upstairs home lab. 3 beefy ESXi machines, some nas storage, and a basic 10gbe switch eats up a lot of a single 15amp circuit. And apparently turning on a TV pushes it over the edge. Luckily the UPS saved my but while a reset the breaker and shut some stuff off.

This is only about 21 amps. Most outlets in a home are 15amps but 20amps isn’t unheard of. From one outlet doubtful but yes one house would provide that much power easily if you split them up to three or 4 rooms on different breakers.

Now it would be fun to watch his electric meter spin like a saw blade … (yes I’m old … I remember meters that had spinning discs)

HungerGamesOS. I love this idea!!!

I call this the unpaid labor tax credit.

What I’d really like is something more akin to google drive streaming. Let me see all the files in the file system but only go get them if I try to open it. I don’t have room for all 2TB of files on my laptop but I don’t want to constantly go click on which folders to sync either.

Pfsense and opnsense are also very good for this.

When you’re 53, yeah pretty much normal.

In my youth it was rock climbing. You can’t really quit something if it means falling to your death 🤣

But seriously anything that keeps your brain occupied. For me it was competitive sports. Basketball, ultimate frisbee, anything like that. Now that I’m old, it’s getting up from my chair to go pee. I also like what I consider “exercise games” like Beat Saber.

Tl;dr… anything that tricks your brain into seeing it as fun and not exercise.

No joke we just moved to a new house last summer and we were checking out local grocery stores and saw a drug deal in a food lion parking lot. So also grocery stores.
