Or has ups and downs.

I always wanted kids. So it’s a constant source of regret and emptyness.

On the other hand, life is cheaper. I can do what I want when I want. I’m not wrapped in worrying about my kids all the time.

I’d say yes. Earlier this week, it navigated me, and I assume a metric ton of people through road construction. Took me over an hour to get to My destination. There’s no chance that was actually the fastest route. 0 chance road construction and stalled cars was faster than literally anything else

All operating systems suck ass. There are problems and issues with all of them. It’s the same argument for programming languages. Now it’s the same argument when it comes to what brand of vehicle Ford or Chevy.

Don’t get hyper focused on a brand, on a label. Simply use what’s best for you and your needs.

Pwsh 7.x works very well in Linux. Haven’t got any snags.

You have to use a Windows desktop at home.

My car insurance has doubled in less than 8 years. But don’t worry, it has less coverage too! Oh, but I’ll get a teeny tiny discount if I let them install a lowjack!

😆 glad it brought a smile to someone else!

Generally you’re going to find that a laptop works better when you use both hands on one and not one laptop for each hand.

For anyone not familiar… That would give you 14.4 MB (1.44 MB formatted x 10) of capacity. The rated speeds for a floppy drive is 1000 kilobits per second. So if you did a Raid-0 (striped), let’s just say that gives you 10,000 kilobits per second. We convert transfer speeds to storage speeds (8 bits to 1 byte)… Means 1.25MB/s. So best case, it takes you about 11.5 seconds to do a full transfer of the 14.4MB. it actually be much slower because this is best case scenario.

Yep.

I came here to make a ‘my router uses BSD btw’ joke.

PfSense!

I only listen to two, usually while diving

• Distractible
• Fake Doctors, Real Friends with Zach and Donald

It’s just people shooting the shit. Just friends chatting.

They’re not even all at the same angle… 😫

Oh you can add so much more on Apples entry. For a fun read, I suggest doing a web search for ‘Apple anti-suicide nets’. Apple and nestlé are among the top of my list for companies I morally cannot support due to human exploitation.

Drinking is not the most important things in the world.

In the US for sure, teenagers start to idolize alcohol and eventually it becomes the pinnacle of cool for some. “Parties” end up revolving around just the alcohol and getting completely wasted. Trust me, you are not a cool, as charming, etc, as you think you are when drunk. And there’s are, absolutely people who will show up to these parties expecting to exploit drunk people.

I’m not telling you ‘NEVER DRINK!’… More like, you don’t need to try drinking a lifetimes worth of alcohol everytime there’s alcohol around you. 1 drink can be enough. And don’t hang out with people who push you to drink or don’t accept ‘no’ as an answer and try to peer pressure you into drinking.

My plan is either soon the lotto or die before retirement. Now, I’ve been in a corporate job for nearly 2 decades, putting money in a 401k and Roth IRA. But given the rate that the value of the dollar is just tanking and the cost of everything is skyrocketing, I honestly figure everything I saved will be worthless. I’ve had my AC off for months at this point, turned it off towards the end of winter early spring. The electric company is telling me that I’m at best on par with some of my neighbors with other neighbors using less than half. Insurance for the car is going up. I love when I ask about why are my rates so high, they blame other drivers and somehow that’s my problem. In 2017 my bill was $335. 7 years later it’s up to $634. Same vehicle, no accidents. $100 for groceries does not go very far anymore. I’m pretty sure there was a picture on Lemmy just the other day showing someone with a receipt buying the same stuff and it was like three times more now than it was just a few years ago.

Use one of those inflation calculators and between 2010 and 2024 we’re at 44%.

I still have more than two decades to go before my supposed retirement date. And I have no faith in our economy.

I want to throw out Mario Bro 3, Tetris, Dr Mario, and Sonic Mania. Just pick up and go, no long term commitment, always fun solo but you can add a friend anytime. Simple but rewarding game play loop.

If that’s nightmare, what’s lemon party rank?

Upper aged young adults… I’m stealing that, 😂

Sus is actually a really old word.

I’ll bite. What’s a Jreg?
