So we need to freeze our farts and thaw them out when we need them. Got it.

Yeah, I wanted Harris to completely eviscerate Trump, which didn't exactly happen. But I don't think that's because she did poorly
it's because I know who I'm voting for, and I'm not the target audience.
Had it been the proverbial bloodbath that I wanted to see, it might not have played well with independents/those on the fence (which I blame largely on sexism
a ruthless woman is "a bitch," but a ruthless man is "strong," etc.).
Judging from the headlines and conversations I'm seeing, I think she really threaded the needle
came across as strong, intelligent, leader-like, all the while giving Trump enough rope to hang himself. More might have alienated voters, and less might have come across as too soft. Really good stuff from her and her campaign.
I always say I have a 1969 Wayne Industries Batmobile. Usually a sheepish, "oh, um, we don't cover that, sorry. click"
It's not all bad, though!
I ran Linux in 2004, and it was great, but it was such a "second-class citizen" desktop OS. The fact that Unreal Tournament and sequels actually worked on Linux felt amazing because it was such a break from the norm, whereas now gaming on Linux is actually a viable option.
Maybe you could flash the ROM on your phone in 2004, but afaik nowhere near the vibrant community you have now.
And self hosting then kinda meant, "I have an Apache server and IRC daemon listening" (the irony is that the self hosting community is so good now in part because of enshittification).
Programmable microcontrollers
with freely available, to ust IDE+libraries
are literally the price of a nice cup of coffee (3x ESP32 can be had for $14 on Amazon). How cool is that!?
I think there's a lot of shitty stuff out there, and the shitty stuff probably outnumbers the cool stuff
but there's world full of really, really cool stuff out there.
Right
plenty of fog, but not a lot of salty spray.
I'd love to see someone like this go on Fox live, with the understanding that would give Trump a reach around...and then eviscerate him on live TV.
Or go full CW, and just transmit source code in binary as dits and dahs. (So long as you document what you're doing it should be legal, though I'm not sure if you should use the CE portion of he band since it's nonstandard...)
A new good stroller is $600+.
That is less than a week of daycare in our area. Ignoring thinking about college, daycare is the only cost that matters in terms of our kid. Everything else is pocket change, comparatively speaking. And the $5k dependent FSA amount is a total joke.
My university was pretty zen about this
essentially, "don't use your own access point/router please. But if you do, please talk to your resident (University employed) student IT rep and they can probably help you set it up correctly."
It's easy to remember c and ℏ if they're both 1...
...but was it the "Windows Uninstall" button...or the "format /dev/sda1 as ext4" button?
I'd change that to the capacity for rationality.
