You're just gatekeeping.
ThinkPad with a generator? Nothing wrong with that
maybe add LoRa, get a ham license and add some packet radio or digital modes and you have a neat disaster setup.
MacBook that you don't want to scuff? Well, I'm not that precious with my gear, but you do you. Many Mac laptops last a very long time, and the performance of modern Apple silicon is really, really impressive
and you have UNIX out of the box. Plenty for a tech enthusiast to like.
A lot of non-graphical utilities
basically the *NIX coreutils, plus stuff like rsync, ssh, compression/archival tools (tar, gzip, bzip2, etc.), grep, and the like. Git also comes to mind.
I think part of this is that the UNIX philosophy is "developer friendly"
tell a good dev they need to make a compression utility that follows this protocol, and they will make a compression utility that follows the protocol.
Your local city college may or may not offer free classes (in San Francisco, you just need to show proof that you live in the city with some legal status).
Some public transportation is free for certain groups (youth and folks experiencing homelessness can get free passes here).
"First X of the month" at the zoo/a museum/whatever
lots of venues have free events.
A jog, bike ride, hike
lots of great stuff outside!
I believe some TIC agreements are structured as HOAs, which is perfectly reasonable
but I'm pretty sure that's not what you're referring to here.
Having a CC doesn't mean you have debt...
"Why the HELL should I have to press 2 for English?"
bumper sticker I would see on my bike commute back in the day.
The bank doesn't own the house, they just have a significant lien against it. Maybe a potato potato situation (how are you supposed to spell that phrase 🤔), but it is an important distinction.
Landlords can get pissed if you paint the walls/change appliances/remodel/etc., but so long as the property is properly insured (and you make your loan payments on time) the bank probably isn't going to bother you.
Landlords can
and do
place restrictions on quiet hours, guest policy, who is allowed to live there, etc. Owning is definitely different.
Some cities offer guides or services for native plants! https://sfpublicworks.org/services/plant-lists-and-palettes
It's even divided across the city's different climate zones (San Francisco is small, but can have huge differences in weather from one side to the other).
I recall a SoCal city even offering free consultation for native gardens.
With coherent detection I think the separation between eyes would allow for this.
Except that this problem doesn't specify distance between horseman, so I think it's a bit bogus
no need to resolve an individual person to be able to tell that they're there. And for hair color, if you make assumptions about the clothes being worn, you could perhaps infer color of hair, even if the hair isn't resolvable (a person being a "single pixel" would have a different hue depending).
Good point
it is "incrementally free," although I guess if you count tire wear and tear that's not even true.
