Yeah, but I can’t afford 2TB of SSD, and I need to expand soon.

Old gf of mine told me the popping we heard snorkeling was parrotfish chipping coral. Made sense because we were near coral and our beaches (NW Florida) are pure white. YMMV according to geography.

NW Florida here! I’m 54 and nothing about the environment/ecology terrifies me more than the crash of our insect populations. We’ve kicked the bottom out of the food chain.

In my 20-years here I’ve seen the ecology change on my front porch. Can’t remember the last time I saw an incoming swarm of bugs on the highway and had to stop and clean the windshield.

But hey! Went to Nashville last year and experienced the Cicadapocalypse! That was intense, never seen anything like it.

That message was direct from Putin to Trump. We’ll hear no more word of it.

Likely they were training their AI to lean right and it went nuts. No human would be dumb enough to sign off on something that blatant.

Y’all would scream if you knew what it was like in the Philippines. This story wouldn’t rate a shoulder shrug, a 20-year gap is nothing and neither is 17. My wife is the only Filipino I know with a husband her age, rest are 20+ years younger than their husbands.

A 17-yo is a child and should have no choice over what she does with her body because she’s not mature enough. Oh WAIT! You guys didn’t mean it like that? Well, here’s your chance to practice talking out both sides of your mouth. Go.

In only 10 American states and the only European state is Turkey. I’m guessing the rest of the world makes it even lower, 14 in China for example.

All too easy. Grab a scissor life and start knocking the sprinkler heads off. IYKYK.

Throw in an ad blocker like a Pi-hole. Life changing. FFS, $10 a month on AWS and you can spin a Lightsail instance, or roll your own on a toaster.

Water, inside and out. Dune (the book) had a great quote about the best place for water is inside you.

Humans evolved to deal with heat, and yes, later cold, but our roots are in Africa. So many ways to cool with water, you find strategies that work. Misting is a great example. Low power and water use, works outdoors, they use it in the NFL.

I use gaiters year round, dry for cold, wet for heat. They can make a dramatic difference. Wrap an ice cube in one, put it at the base of your neck, fool your brain stem into thinking you’re cooler.

Staying small is huge (heh). The square cube law is a thing. If you took my skinny hide and spread it out on top of a tall fat man, it would be fairly close. But our volume would be drastically different.

NW Florida here. Lived in Chicago for two years. I’ll take the heat thank you very much. I won’t die if left outside.

Same! My wife speaks better English than she hears. And like you, I’m hooked on CC.

Simple strategy. You lose the low value customers, retain the spenders. Less cost for infrastructure, employees, all that.

They’re likely cutting it too close with the cost, but what do I know, I don’t pay for jack.

I’m thinking the noise is hella easy to get posts buried in, especially around here. But still, security through obscurity is not security.

And they won’t find you through your posts, they’ll crucify you for them once you’re caught for something else.

That simple?! FINALLY makes sense, and I’ve been wondering for years and years.

Guessing you had it burned into your brain in a few days? Super simple stuff.

Been done, so passé.

You got my gears turning. I could pre-drill holes and hammer them into trees for hanging hooks. Been thinking on a kayak hanging rig.

And now you have me going, I could hang the kayaks from trees in the very back of the yard (forested), no worry about shading from the sun’s UV.

Genius. I need two for the house and one for camp. Sell the rest at the flea market? This may be the most practical and easy answer yet.

F.E.A.R:

The Armacham 10mm High Velocity Penetrator is a weapons-grade nail gun, firing 10mm steel stakes at lethal speeds. It can pin opponents to walls if the target is near a wall when they are hit with a fatal shot.

I can make black powder, sound like a reasonable starting point?
