My first kid is almost 3 and we have another on the way. It is so fucking draining and so fucking awesome. My wife and I joke about what the hell we did in our free time before our daughter. We both have careers and hobbies so it's not like we were bored, but it is so much fucking fun having a kid. We would definitely kill for some more free time, but highly recommend it. Also, if you decide to have kids, it's not very difficult, it's just a lot of work.

That sounds like it smells great.

+1 for Restic on Backblaze. It's cheap af for my setup because all my data is on a RAID 10 pool with snapshots. Then anything that needs to be safe from theft/fire/unlikely number of simultaneous failures gets sent to Backblaze.

I have the same reaction to all of these except napping. If I lay down for like 10ish minutes and try to sleep, it really helps clear my head even if I'm not sleepy.

This is what I had to do in college and the real game changer was getting meds. It went from spending a long time to get a reasonable amount of work to spending a lot of time to get a lot of work done. So if you haven't already, get diagnosed and get meds. It'll make the rest of college way more enjoyable and useful.

That's enough for me to block my first instance! Fucking Nazis.

It's been a while since I was in college, but I dual booted my laptop with Windows and Fedora for the first couple years then moved exclusively to Fedora. I even wrote my master's thesis using Libre Office.

Unless you come across arcane statistics software or bullshit "education" tools that only exist for Windows that you need, which is possible, you should be good to go. Even then, you might be able to use Wine or find alternatives.

So yeah, go for it! Keep the Windows VM if you want a safety net.

Also Framework.

Cox is fucking scum.

This doesn't say 80% of the bees have died.

Don Bacon, I will guarantee you with 99.99% certainty that nobody else saw those chats. But that doesn't matter, highly sensitive internal government discussions should not be had on consumer messaging platforms.

Also, it's sad and telling when the highlight of the event is how information was handled and not the fact that civilians on the other side of the world were killed using millions of dollars of taxpayer money.

Not a whole lotta substance in all that text.

60% of the time it works all the time.

I found this bullshit out too recently.

I have never heard this before. What would be some good things to look up for more info?

Sure, but we are a long way from not being dependent on oil even by the most aggressive timelines. Destroying a significant amount of oil infrastructure while we still use it would cripple supply chains, transportation, etc and we wouldn't be able to move to renewable sources as quickly because there would be significantly fewer resources available.

Like I said, I'm fully supportive of moving away from oil because I know how damaging it is. But I just don't see a realistic way to get rid of oil that quickly.

I understand the dangers of climate change and pollution and I fully support moving away from oil as an energy source. But I'm genuinely curious about how you see destroying oil infrastructure playing out.

Makita. Best tools that aren't stupid expensive.

Yup! I only agree with Lee on Middle East policy and a handful of other points, but holy shit does she seem to have integrity.

I hate Adam Schiff so much, he's so condescending and punchable.
