This people have a completely irreparable sunk cost unless they stand up against it:

Would you consider these types of questions, a moral litmus test?

In The Morning! Man, I never did more than Solo II, and that was a looong time ago .. racing a front wheel drive Maxima 😅

I worked with a guy who did SCCA open wheel. That is a sweet vehicle. Congrads on her win.

Firefox isn't that bad performance wise. The main issue is the tracking and the scum-shit company of Mozilla.

I currently use Librewolf on Linux. It depends on being downstream from Firefox, but it only exists because Mozilla lost their way and has terrible politics.

I think there's still a lot of artistry in modern cases. The Fractal Torrent one one that looks interesting and practical. The ITX and mATX market has a lot of new stuff after crowd funded cases like the Ghost and the SFF Time cases showed what was possible.

But the days of filling out drive bays seems gone. Everything is either about being super compact, cute and snug, or being big and elaborate display pieces with pipes and colors and RGB puke.

I really miss the older tower design, with multiple 5.25 slots .. and terrible cooling.

ahhh .. I misread. Yea, could be.

nah this guy isn't a farmer; lives up on top of one of the local hills in a normal sized house. His garage was a big workspace. I think he just likes woodworking.

I'll toss him some advertising for anyone near the Tennessee/Georgia/Alabama border who wants a set:

There's a local wood worker on Craigslist that makes these beautiful outdoor tables. They're unfinished, so I've got to figure out what stain and sealant I want to use. I was surprised I was able to unload it all by myself. It's crazy heavy. But it'll be good to have a large picnic table for my fall potluck/bbq.

I walk a road

Not the same my mother or father walked

In another time that was not kind

To people who fled their homes

There are no paths to Rome

On the road we walk today

Afraid to stop

Because all the people that carried on

They carried on

So that we would make it here today

That's a lot-o-sorostitutes

What if what you've always wanted doing pay the bills?

Is the train long enough that the back still connects to a wire, or do they have batteries for those wireless segments?

On the flip side, UPS just upped drive pay to $44/hr (a lot of news outlets are saying $170k a year or some bullshit, because they don't understand pay vs pension/benefits).

That's ~$80k a year for UPS drivers, and magazines like Forbes are praising it as some kinda magic of the Biden economy, when really it's an indication of insane runaway inflation. A $190k house from 5 years ago is now $300k. Rent is skyrocketing, even in small cities. It's not a win for UPS drivers to make a half way decent baseline when adjusted for the reckless money printing of the scamdemic + modern monetary theory. It's a sign every single company will have to increase wages or close down to keep up with record money printing.

Do they whisper things do you when writing your data?

Some people think SARS-CoV2 wasn't real; just rebranded flu, Others things SARS2 was real, but no where near as dangerous and people were led to believe.

It doesn't matter which is true. The actual result in social policy and mass hysteria would have been the same result in either case.

Restoring a retro keyboard? Commodore? Spectrum?

If you're under 30, you can probably still get Holiday work visas, depending on your country or countries of citizenship. The US had agreements with Australia and New Zealand and I spent a year in each, then got a real visa through my job in NZ. I told a friend about them and he got one for Ireland (I didn't qualify, you have to be in school of have just graduated. When I visited him, he introduced me to everyone as "This guy is there reason I'm in Ireland").

I spent a couple of years outside of the US, including 11 months living out of two bags, living in hostels and with friends:
