Doesn’t Venezuela have oil?

I like the cosmic look and the idea of the built in tiling manager but in practice I haven’t had a great experience with it. It’s frustrating to customize or find things and had been buggy on my systems

I get the appeal of a lightweight device but i personally like a little weight as long as it is heavy because it _b … I just woke up and realized I fell asleep typing my comment. I literally bored myself to sleep.

To put this in perspective. This is about half of what the US spends per year on their military budget. How insane is that?

Linux has come a long way though and it’s basically turn key for some distros. Even with flatpak or system catalogs built into the gui.

This is where the Linux and self hosting people chime in.

This is why I chose it. Gaming living room computer that kids can’t easily break. It just worked. Well, except for my idea to dual boot and have games pulling from an ntfs hdd. Bazzite hated that idea. So if you’re using bazzite, make sure your games are on a Linux partition. Even though Linux is ok with ntfs for some reason beyond my expertise… Games do not like it.

I’d imagine the Mac mini could be turned into a retro gaming rig similar to retro pi or batocera (spelling?)

Sounds like your mom was eating marbles. Or maybe… She had to have her stomach pumped because she was trying to overdose. Occam’s razor

I do push day, pull day, leg day. It’s a common split you could look up a bunch of different workouts. Just search for ppl split workout. It’s nice because even if you go to the gym every day (I’m not advocating that, you need rest) your muscle groups get two days of rest before you work them again.

If you’re new and intimidated by some of the exercises, just find a machine that works the same muscles or does a similar motion. It’s not perfect but it gets the job done. I watched a ton of YouTube videos on how to do exercises when I started. And if you don’t like an exercise, don’t do it. Find another one that works the same muscles that is enjoyable. For instance… Most programs suggest doing “skull crushers” for triceps workout. I hate them. They don’t feel right and the name annoys me. I do overhead triceps extensions on a cable machine instead and they feel so much better to me. I enjoy doing them instead of dreading

Good luck!

In the 90s you probably had one of those shitty glass top coil element stoves. Those things suck. Induction is great. Maybe there was some old tech out there but I love mine

I got an induction maybe 10 years ago or so. It is amazing how fast I can boil water or just get going in general. Lovely tech

I’d carefully review policies of Dropbox or any company to make sure you aren’t just jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire. If I was you I’d look into one of the encrypted services others have mentioned. Or even just email an encrypted PDF to them on the regular.

Yikes! I always just tossed it into the recycle bin!

It’s a Christmas miracle!

I was about to say that surely it’s not just 1 person they are talking about. Then I read, "Our North Star is ‘1 engineer, 1 month, 1 million lines of code.’”

WTF

I had no idea uline was evil. I liked their gifts!

There’s also onshape which has a free tier (your files are public) and it’s web based so you can model on any platform. Or fusion 360 which comes from an annoying company but fine for little things. I’ve been using onshape for little things lately. I

don’t think I’d recommend blender to a newbie. It’s more involved and really takes time to learn. Similar for free CAD. I love the idea but it’s really clunky to use.

The best (imo) modeling software has a simple workflow with easy to find tools. Create a sketch, extrude that sketch, then do it again if needed, add holes etc…

I just model nearly everything I print. The one time I purchased was from cults3d. I’m sure printable or anywhere else is fine too. Most of the paid ones just have better pictures but some are great designs imo

That’s just about all I need. Vpn + privacy browser is as much effort as I’m willing to put in. Beyond that it gets really frustrating.
