You are on the right track. There is so much more to unpack. It’s all stories of family dysfunction all the way down. Cain and Abel squaring with whose sacrifice was more acceptable. Noah cursing one of his sons/grandsons after the flood for uncovering his nakedness (read Ham had relations with Noah’s wife and fathered Canaan). Even Joseph’s sons got the old switcheroo with their blessings.


I don’t like plants.


And we all can agree that Dasani is not worth it at any price.


When did David Miscavige die? /s


Oh, if that’s the question, David Koloane.


Kid #1 was exclusively formula fed due to a milk protein allergy. Kid #2 was exclusively on the breast. They are in elementary school now, surrounded by germs. No noticable difference between how often they get sick.
In the end, a formula fed baby was far less stressful for us. No worries about feeding or pumping schedules. No worries about if they are getting enough. With infants, a calm and non-stressed parent is best.


I don’t know when it happened, but at some point I started giving off the vibe of “you should give this guy your old/unused tech.” I’m not complaining.


I am also using KeepassDX and Nextcloud. I’ve had this setup for years and never had an issue with syncing.
What is the “some stuff” that you are spinning up the vm for?
…aaaand???
I was buying for a community event that I ran. I did the math the first year that we did it. Buying the hotdogs, buns, hotdog wraps, and waters separately from Costco was going to cost me around half of getting them directly from the cafe.
Not worrying about running a grill… starting the event with dinner already cooked and ready to go… Absolutely worth the markup.
The most I’ve ever bought at one time was 300.


Back in 2020, those of us who had been using the OnlyOffice community document server were greeted with a notification stating that mobile editing was no longer supported and that we’d have to buy their commercial product.
Some folks quickly figured out a patch. Others, like myself, left with a bad taste in our mouths.

We were taught stalaCtite (ceiling) and stalaGmite (ground).


I’ve got a few Reolinks. I have them set to record to a local SD card and have blocked outside internet so that they’re not phoning home.


I’ve got NixOS running on a 32 GB netbook from 2016. It’s really bare bones and I only keep one or two generations to roll back to if needed.


A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don’t do one.
This blew my mind when I took plant biology in college.
