I used them for a couple of years. But I kept finding that when I went to re-sign up for new vendors they wouldn't support the cards for some reason. Has this gotten better?
I ran gnome for about a decade. I really didn't like how a lot of bits and pieces of it worked so I went and found all of the plugins and religiously installed and updated them. Updates what happened, crab would break, I'd just have to deal.
At some point I tried KDE. And it literally did everything that I was doing to gnome through plugins out of the box.
I'm all about configurability but I'm also a pretty big fan of not having to fuck with it because it already does what I want out of the box.
PShaw, that's how I had to do it. Slackware on floppy. Pre-internet search engine, one computer per household. No cellular data.
windows -> Dial up -> look at some docs, take nodes -> reboot into Slackware -> mess with the console -> get stuck -> reboot into windows -> repeat
One doesn't need to panic buy items that they keep in stock at sufficient levels. :)
Context for the masses...
”Strabismus (crossed eyes) is a common eye condition among children. It is when the eyes are not lined up properly and they point in different directions (misaligned). One eye may look straight ahead while the other eye turns in, out, up, or down."
cat: You know what makes you feel better? feeding me! that ALWAYS cheers you up!
As I said, not for cost saving, but more for not needing to go out when people start panicking, or being stupid
The search term to find it is autologon, but as everyone has mentioned, this is a last resort and JF should just be run as a service.
Hells yeah, trying not to programmatically block things so I don't miss something that's actually important, but you can't doom scroll this @#$%
Food, but not primarily for cost savings as most regular used things things don't last longer than a year, which cost wise won't bridge the gap.
55 lbs of 00 flour in the chest freezer, still have about 25lbs of AP flour in there. 1 30lb bag of Jasmine Rice, 1 25 lb basmati. I still have a ton of beans and and dry pasts in mylar/oxy absorb sitting in barens cans for long term storage. When covid started, I had 1 million calories in storage. I don't plan to go back to that, but I intend to be able to hunker down for a long time.
For work, I'm pushing to purchase more laptops before tariffs.
I've considered stowing fuel with a stabilizer but even if prices double on fuel, I don't use enough of it to make a difference.
It would be a good time to buy any lithium ion batteries and finish off those ali-express/temu orders.
Off the news, out of facebook and reduced Politics subs by half
I was a little worried he was just going to hack some trash together, but he did this right. I knew we were in for a treat when he actually used some protective measures.

High above the village of Črni Vrh, fantastical ice formations—including spikes over a yard long—encase the trees and lookout tower atop Mount Javornik. The windswept ice, or hard rime, is the result of fog freezing after a week of snow and gales. This image appears in the December 2016 issue of National Geographic magazine.

It would appear there's currently a battle on /r/place between pro-spez users, anti-spez users and admins as the guillotine is being perpetually drawn and erased

Tom Scott has relaxed his release schedule, so it's kind of special when we posts a new video these days.
This house rotates, plumbing at all, the owner is kinda fun and very forthcoming with details.

archaeologists excavating a gravesite in the southern Bavarian town of Nördlingen found a 3,000-year-old sword in excellent condition
Given the soft nature of bronze, historians have previously wondered whether such blades served a ceremonial purpose, rather than a practical purpose on the battlefield. A few years ago, scientists even staged sword fights in order to learn more about how the Bronze Age weapons could have been used effectively in battle, despite being much easier to damage and harder to repair than their iron successors.
Hey, are you guys supposed to be playing with the artifacts?
it's research!
Even before the current fucked up state of affairs, lobbying was (and still is) a thing.
